I'm All in with You

 

WT1095 - Playing Cards

For this card, I was inspired by the gorgeous playing card series from Spellbinders. My son used to carry a deck with him everywhere he went, so I knew I had to have this collection.

I began by hot foiling the gold playing card for the main panel. Next, I die cut the individual cards and their decorative pieces, adding touches of gold glitter for extra interest.

To finish the design, I added gold glitter crowns to each of the playing cards and completed the layout with a sentiment banner and one of the cards popped up on dimensionals.

IC1048 - Urban Wear Outsiders - INSPIRATION

I was inspired by the playing‑card pattern on the long‑sleeved shirt and reached for this Spellbinders die set and coordinating hot foil plate.

For the gold base, I used the large playing‑card hot foil plate with gold foil on white cardstock. After foiling, I rounded the corners to echo a real deck and layered the panel onto a black cardstock base for contrast.

The king and queen were die cut from several scrap papers and carefully assembled, placing the queen at the top and the king at the bottom to mirror the classic card layout.

Since the design felt perfect for an anniversary, I finished the inside with a Happy Anniversary sentiment stamped in pink to coordinate with the colors on the queen.

SC1061 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For my card, I am trying to use up some DMC floss that is on the back of my craft chair. I love these butterflies and have done a few of them just waiting on cards.

The butterfly, from Spellbinders, was layered in a die cut square that I left in the die cut and sponged some green in the frame.

I recently got the Spellbinders hot foil machine, and I have been practicing with it so I can use it for my son's graduation card.

This card was finished with a few green candy dots.
