Here's how I added a little metallic dazzle to my card...
I loved all the shiny colors, but I was really drawn to the the gorgeous teal! As much as I love traditional Christmas colors, I love a fresh blue/pink/red combo for Christmas cards. So I used the Noel dies and matching stamps to create this easy-to-make card. The dies do cut the metal sheets, but I really liked the embossed look and left them as is. For reference, the metal sheets feel like a thick, stiffer tin foil sheet. Look at the shine on this stuff!
I placed my embossed panel behind a window that I cut with my We R Family dies, and then I stamped a subtle background with the coordinating snowflake stamps. Fun, right?
