Very fast cardâ¦as soon as I saw the metallic theme I knew I wanted to use some embossed metallic gift bags I picked up at Dollar Tree a while back, with the idea of cutting them up for card making. $1.25 for a fairly large bag seems pretty reasonable when embossed metallic paper runs $2-3 or so per sheet at the craft store.
I kept it simple as a test run for the gift bag approach. I cut a panel from the gift bag paper and attached to a white card. I cut strips of patterned paper from an older Craft Smith Christmas paper pad. Itâs hard to see but the sentiment and the leaves on black are also silver metallic. The divide between the paper and the silver background seemed too stark so I softened it up with some silver ribbon. Definitely a metallic card, and Iâm looking forward to using more of the gift bags, that was an idea that worked out!
USEIT2022: working on that Craft Smith Christmas pad for several years now, here is a little more used! Also the gift bags were a recent purchase and I followed through and actually made the thing I had an idea for!
