Here are two gorgeous packs of paper that are now 50% off the regular price while supplies last! Take a look, then scroll down to see a stunning card that I made with some of the DSP and the Foil.
Love You Always Specialty DSP, #154280, $15.00, Now $7.50!
Love You Always Foil Sheets, #154286, $10.00, Now $5.00!
The 12″x 12″ Specialty DSP comes in packs of 12 sheets, 4 each of three colors: Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, and Sahara Sand.
The 12″x 12″ Foil Sheets come in packs of 6, 2 each of three colors: Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, and Sahara Sand.
I used the Sahara Sand sheets in both packs to make this card:
Details:
- Early Espresso card base, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″
- Love You Always Spec. DSP, Sahara Sand sheet, 5-1/4″x 4″
- Love You Always Foil Sheet, Sahara Sand, 6″x 6″, embossed with Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder, and flowers cut out with Paper Snips
- 3 Genial Gems
- Very Vanilla Cardstock for inside, 5-1/4″x 4″
I ran the Foil Sheet through my Cut & Emboss Machine with the Magnolia 3D Folder, then cut around each flower, leaving a small border around the edges. This was surprisingly easy! I cut it quickly without too much effort and they came out beautifully!
Then I took a sanding block and very lightly sanded the raised areas on the flowers and leaves. This gives the foil a burnished look, and the sanded areas take on a silver tone. Don’t sand too much – just a light hand. And although I left it, I would be more careful to sand in one direction next time. OR ~ if you prefer the shiny, pristine foil look, just skip this step! (But try it once and see – it’s really cool!)
Three Genial Gems gives the card one more bit of sparkle. Did you notice that I left off a sentiment? That was intentional. I tried to add one, but it took my eye away from the magnolias, so I decided the sentiment belongs on the inside of this card! I’m thinking wedding or some other fancy special event.

Karen,
I love this!!! I will have to give it a try. What did you put on the inside. I’ll pull out my magnolia stamp set and try to continue this elegance on the inside. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Jilli! I usually leave the insides blank until I’m ready to use the card, but the magnolia stamp set would be the perfect choice!
Absolutely stunning Karen! This embossing folder just keeps on giving. Thank you for sharing your brilliant idea!
Thank you, Marilyn! and you’re welcome!
Stunning; just magnificent!

Stunning Karen!
Thanks, Sue!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, Karen! I LOVE the sanded effect! So interesting and unique! I LOVE your color palette, too! I think the EMBOSSED FOIL would be lovely in either the Blushing Bride or Rococco Rose, too, especially w/the sanding! SMILES from Madison, WI! :-)))))
Thanks, Judith! Yes, I think it would be beautiful in those other colors as well. And I still have plenty to play with! 🙂
