Just a Note

Hello, Birch Press friends! Today I have just a note for you. But this is not just your average note – this one is hot foiled! I love all of the new hot foil plates, and when you pair them with rainbow foil, you can create some instant and simple magic.

I started my card with an A2 sized panel of smooth white card stock. I hot foiled it using the String Art Frame plate and rainbow foil. So easy and so amazing! When you turn the panel around in the light, it catches all of the different colors of the rainbow. While I had my hot foil machine on, I also hot foiled the “just a note” sentiment using Aura hot foil. This hot foil color is also magical because it looks gold from straight on, but when it catches the light, it brings out the colors that are around it. I love that this sentiment has a matching die. I cut out a couple extra layers of white card stock with the die, so that I could stack the sentiment for dimension.

There is a center circle in the String Art Frame design where you can place the focal point of your card. This allows for so many different design options. I chose to use the interior circle of the Epiphany Plate Layer Set, and I cut each of the three layers out of white card stock. I also cut a plain circle out of white card stock that I placed behind the layers.

I cut the hot foiled panel down to 4″x5.25″ and adhered it to a purple A2 card base. To ground my central element, I cut a larger circle out of purple glitter card stock and then mounted the Epiphany layers and the sentiment on top of that.
