Star Dream Metallic for Extra Shine

 Have you die cut Star Dream Metallic or used in embossing folders? Today I am posting this gorgeous anniversary card for CutCardstock.

Create the Background

Start with a piece of Rose Quartz Star Dream Metallic. I love the subtle color of this cardstock. Dry emboss with the Elegant Flourish Embossing folder from @Altenewllc. Use the coordinating stencils to add a pink tint to the flourishes. Trim to A2 card size and set aside.

Die Cut the Components

I used several colors of cardstock to create the blooms: Lessebo Sunflower, Lessebo Moss Green, DCS Pink Tutu and DCS Amaranth (one of my new favorite colors). Use Altenew's Zero Waste Wildflower Meadow Die and cut an A2 panel from each color in addition to Cougar 80. Lb. White Cardstock. I keep the different colors separated in different small trays.

Create a variety of blooms by gluing layers together. Set aside.

Create the lantern by die cutting the top and accent pieces in Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock and the base in Pop Tone Black Licorice. Glue together to create the focal point.

Assemble the Card

Attach the Embossed base to an A2 card base. I like to use Cougar 110 lb. Cardstock for my bases.

You may want to lay out your leaves, blooms and the lantern on the side to determine placement as that will determine how the pieces are layered.

Once you have determined the placement, glue all the elements in place.

Add a Sentiment

Choose a sentiment die to accent the formal look of this card. I used a cursive die from Altenew and die cut the sentiment in a black shine cardstock in my stash paired with Cougar 100 lb. Cardstock. Glue the sentiment to the card.

Use Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for Amazing Shine

 Have you tried using Star Dream Metallic Cardstock for most of a floral card front? Today I am posting for CutCardStock. Today I did just that! I used Stardream for the blooms, leaves and background. Check out the pearly shine!

Create the Blooms and Leaves

This is the Whimsical Flower Vine from Altenew. Use Fairway Stardream for the leaves, Punch for the flower bases and Rose Quartz for the top petals. Stardream is a solid cardstock with a subtle pearl like shine. It comes in a variety of colors. Often, I will use Stardream for the accent pieces, but I decided to go big this time and used it for most of the cover panel. Assemble the blooms using liquid glue. Attach the blooms to the leaves.

Emboss the Star Dream Metallic Base Panel

Use a small panel 3 x 5 inches of Crystal Stardream Cardstock and emboss using an embossing folder of your choice. I used an Altenew folder

Assemble the Card

Cut a panel from Punch Stardream slightly larger to frame the embossed panel. Attach the embossed panel in the center. Attach the panel to an A2 card using Cougar 110 lb. White Cardstock. I use this weight of cardstock for all my card bases to add strength. There is not much room for a sentiment, so be selective. I wanted my small sentiment to pop so I used a small die also from Altenew, die cut in Pop tone Black Licorice and popped up with foam tape for interest.
