Taylored Expressions has a new cardmaking kit which makes gift-giving so quick and easy! The holidays will soon be here and everyone loves customizable cards. The new Friendly Filigree Cardmaking Kit makes absolutely stunning cards in a pinch, which is just what we all need!
This kit includes an incredible Friendly Filigree Background Stamp which looks just as beautiful stamped or heat embossed, as it does using the Foil It – Friendly Filigree panels in Tropical Punch, Blue Corn and Mulled Wine, as I’ve shown here.
I created a set of gold foiled panels with choose-your-own Foil It – All Together Occasions sentiments on Toffee card bases. After foiling the sentiment panels and die cutting them with the coordinating All Together – Occasions Coordinating Die from the kit, I used liquid glue to attach them to gold mirror shadows for an extra pop of gold.
I also removed the centres from the foiled panels using the Friendly Filigree Frame Die, also included in the kit. This exposes the Toffee card base behind each sentiment, which backed with double-sided tape so the giver can choose and attach the desired sentiment.
I also created a set of silver foiled cards on Sugar Cube card bases. The choice of gold and silver is such a personal choice so I thought a gift set that included both would be idea. I originally thought I’d like the gold set better but the silver really won me over!
With both the gold and silver foiled cards combined, there are six cards with a choice of 12 sentiments in two different styles. For the second set of sentiments, I once again used the Friendly Filigree Frame Die to cut them out and used liquid glue to stiffen them with a second layer of cardstock, which adds a touch of dimension and quality.
To create the box, I used the Clear Card Box included in the kit (additional boxes are available for purchase) and die cut the Gift It Belly Band (sold separately) from Toffee cardstock. I wrapped the band with burlap twine and attached one of the extra gold foiled sentiments from Foil It – All Together Occasions using foam tape.
Thanks so much for watching!
