Back in Stock!  Tie Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon in a bow around patterned piece.  Adhere layer to note card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Crop “celebrate” (Copper Foil and Silver Foil Sheets) using the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  I like to use the Precision Base Plate with the Big Shot to reduce embossing marks on the letters.  Earn the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies FREE with a $100 product order during Sale-A-Bration.

  1. these cards are beautiful; I do hope there is something in the new catalogue the same or similar to this foil paper.

  2. These cards are lovely! Can you tell me how you avoid getting those little dots on your die cuts from the pokey holes on the dies?
    Thank you!

    • Thanks, Mary K. With detailed thinlits, I find I get the least amount of dots and embossing when I use the Precision Base Plate with the big shot platform.

  3. Love, Love, LOVE these cards! May need to CASE for this month’s workshop, if you don’t mind. You are a true inspiration!

    • i’m thrilled at the response, Nikki, and that you feel the cards are CASE-worthy. it’s an honor!

  5. I’m just crazy about the way you used the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies to create a fantastic look to the bottom of two of your cards. BRILLIANT my friend!

  6. Love each of these beauties, Mary, especially where you fussy cut the flowers to go over the edge of the foil. The notecards are a perfect size for so many cards I make and the envelopes are a nice quality as well. Thanks for showcasing cards that work with them. Enjoy a great day!

    • Thanks, HJ. The celebrate cards could be for so many occasions (birthday, congrats, invitations)!
