Tag Archives: Dry Brushed Metallic Paper

The shoebox event fell on Valentine’s Day this month and we had a wonderful time making valentines and then eating at the Carriage Shops Tea House- and our husbands were invited!  The men went and had coffee while we made our cards and then they joined us for lunch.

Jo’s first card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Dry Brushed Metallic Paper and Brushed Shapes Dies:

The middle of the big heart is the inside cut out of the heart and is popped up. The corner rounding on the inside adds a nice touch!  To catch the glimmer of the paper I somehow lost the bright white cardstock.

I left the inside blank and then when I needed an anniversary card I pulled out the Memorable Moments stamp set and the gold embossing powder and a turquoise embossing powder.  I tilted the card to see if I could get the gold and turquoise glossy look but couldn’t.  It was a perfect match for the DSP colors!  Treasures Of The Heart was used for the little greeting at the bottom.

Jo’s second card is so fun:

I will love sending this to my mom as she spent many years on a ranch!

Thank you, Jo, for a fun shoebox event with beautiful cards!

SAL,   Smile A Lot
