Graceful Evergreen Deer

My blogpost today features one of the cards we will be making during our monthly card class at Belair Baptist church this month.  It features a new stamp set called Graceful Evergreen Deer and has foiled deer coordinate beautifully.  You can purchase these as a bundle too.  The fold is a gatefold and the focal image is cut from Everyday Arches dies.

Cardstock:  misty moonlight, secret sea, basic white

Garden Silhouette Hot Foil die

 At our Thursday and Saturday class in August we had a play with the new Hot Foil system from Stampin' Up!  I'm very fortunate to already have the GoPress Foil machine which a lovely customer gave me a few years ago.

Our first card uses the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil die.  The ladies could choose from Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Cloud Cover, Hydrangea Hue.  Our base card is basic white, with an embossed layer and focal point was cut out with the Everyday Arches dies and embellished with the butterfly flight hot foil dies.

Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die

This was one of the cards that we made in our Sunday Creative Cards class.  We used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil die and paired it with the Butterfly Flight hot foil dies.

The sentiment is from the Alpine Air Kit and punched out with rounded rectangle punch.  The sentiment is framed with the rectangular nested essential dies.
