Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies Archives

I’m using the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies but today I’m showing that they aren’t just for Christmas cards. A daughter of a friend of mine was graduating from her Indian dance academy but I was unable to attend but I wanted to send a card. And I felt that it should be a very rich looking card with masses of gold. So I started with the Star of Light heat embossed in gold on real red card stock.

Next I cut the borders around the edge using the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies and glued a piece of gold foil behind before mounting on a card base of real red. Although this would make a beautiful Christmas card, I just needed a little congratulations for Sahana and found the perfect sentiment in the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. I heat embossed that too and cut it out, and the gold foil mat, with the layering ovals framelits. And I think I achieved my goal – elegant but very rich looking. What do you think?

Today I’m sharing a Christmas card made with Carols of Christmas, a bundle that is available in August, a month ahead of the official release of the holiday catalog. And since it’s available in August, that means that if you earned any Bonus Day coupons, you can apply it to this bundle. But whatever you choose to buy with your bonus coupons, don’t forget that they expire at the end of August – don’t forget to redeem them! Click on the image below to read how to do that.

This is my first card with the Carols of Christmas bundle so I started out simply by heat embossing the sentiment in gold onto a piece of real red. Next, I used the poinsettias thinlits (there are two the same) for each corner of my piece of real red. I then used some scraps of gold foil (1 9/16 inch square) to put behind the cut out pointettias. All that was left was to mount this on a real red card base and the card was done.
