Do you like Brushed Metallic Cardstock, but don’t know what to do with them? Today I share 2 different ideas to use on your card designs!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from ERUM’s wonderful Blog.
Idea #1 – Die Cut Sentiment
Using Brushed Metallic Silver Cardstock makes for a quick and easy way to add a shiny sentiment (no need to get the foiling machine out)! Today I also added some dimenion to my Fancy Enjoy Sentiment by layering up multiple die cut layers.
This gorgeous bouquet is part of today’s release. I used the coordinating Swamp Buttercup Layering Stencil and Die to create this very quick and easy card.
Idea #2 – Die Cut Image
Sometimes we just need to add a little shine to an image. A very easy way to do this is to die cut from cardstock such as the Brushed Gold Metallic card that I used for these Boho Vases.
I also added a subtle striped background using the Rattan Stripes Cover Die.
And the sentiment is from Crystal Frames Stamp Set.
BONUS IDEA: I think these Boho Vases would also look amazing die cut from the Brushed Gold or Silver and made into hanging ‘lanterns’…

Two gorgeous cards, Therese! Loving the slubbed silk look of your first card – and that fun rattan cover die has my name written all over it – don’t you think?
=]
I love your cards as usual. Both are quite striking!
These are beautiful, Therese! Love the elegance of the first one and the fancy gold vases on the next! That rattan background is fabulous!
Gorgeous cards. So inspiring!💗
Wonderful cards, Therese. Those vases do have a Boho look with the gold and bright color showing through.
the vases are so versatile
I love these
I love the shine you put on both cards. My favorite would be the softness of the Swamp Buttercups. It looks very classy.
Such elegant designs! I LOVE the gold vases!
I especially like your card with the silver background! Gorgeous!
The swamp buttercups are my favorite and you have used them in such an elegant way.
The texture of the vases and leaves is fabulous!
Fun Boho Vases!
Both cards are phenomenal, love the elegance of the first one and the fun approach to the boho style of the second one. Thanks for the inspiration Therese!
Great use of the gorgeous shiny card. Two stunning cards Therese
Wonderful cards. My favorite is those pots.
Love them. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cards! The Die Cut Sentiment card has such a classic elegance to it!
Both cards are gorgeous!!
Is there a die for the vases “mat” or did you actually fussy cut around each those little things for the mat?
Hi Kim, there is no ‘mat’ for the vases but it was easy to cut a small piece of design paper to adhere behind the vases. Thanks so much for the visit and comment, crafty hugs Tx
Stunning cards. My favorite is the boho vase but living the boho arrow card as well
Amazing and gorgeous cards!
Very nice cards. I especially like the serene colorway of your first card and thanks for the lantern suggestion — good idea.
Your cards are absolutely lovely! I especially love the second one — the Boho Vases set is definitely on my wish list!
Beautiful! The bit of brushed metallic cardstock on each really amps up the overall design.
Absolutely gorgeous cards! I love your style of card making..
Thanks for sharing.
O, my, Therese! Your first Enjoy card is so lovely. The colors of the swamp buttercups are wonderful, different than the others I’ve seen. But the showstopper is the BoHo Vases! The colors are exactly what I pictured for how I will do them. I have mosaics jars just like them😀. Far Out, Man! 💜💜💜
Silver sentiment on grey cardstock is a dark horse, let me tell you. This is elegant and easy to read and has just the right amount of shine.
These are fantastic ideas! Love those swamp buttercups with that gorgeous neutral color scheme — but my favorite is your lovely vases and foliage paired with the brushed gold and the rattan stripes. What an amazing combination! Altenew has so many fantastic supplies; I love this entire new release, and I really enjoyed seeing the lovely projects you made with the new goodies. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE those Boho vases! the details really make them special and the way you layered them with that pop of color is great!
Your posts are always incredible but they just get better and better, you have kicked them out of the park with these. Their totally gorgeous !! xx
Your cards are always beautiful and these are no exception. GORGEOUS!!!!
Dang it! Now I have to have all of these!
Gorgeous-ness!!! Love your cards, Therese!
I am loving this release. I know that when I come to your blog I will see a lot to love!
Your cards are always so pretty, Love using the card metaalic card stock for so many projects. I just got a hot foil machine but all i had in past was the metallic cardstock. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful cards–I love that silver metallic sentiment and flowers on the first card, the 2nd one with pots just blew me away! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful cards! I love foil cardstock and have more than I’ll ever use 😉
Wonderful color ideas and I love the hanging pot.
Both cards are beautiful. I really love the cute vases.
Love these beautiful cards! The buttercups are so pretty, and I love the vases and plants too!
