Shopping Our Stash #138 - Oh, Shiny!!

This week's challenge over at Shopping Our Stash is Oh, Shiny!

A year or so ago, I bought a ton of this shiny card stock for next to nothing.   I love how it looks when embossed with a diamond plate folder.  Makes a nice masculine card.  Operation Write Home is always in need of masculine cards, so I made a bunch of these:

It is such a challenge to photograph reflective surfaces!!!  Old All Night Media sentiment.  Cuttlebug embossing folder.

  1. Bobbi, this make a marvelous guy card. I'll have to see if I can find some shiny silver paper. I didn't have shiny so I tried spring some glitter mist onto regular silver and it looked ok but nothing like your shiny paper. Have a wonderful day.

    1. Maybe foil glued onto card stock with a consistent glue sweep - then placed into embossing folder ?

  4. Can't find shiny paper? Try fusing aluminum foil to card stock before embossing it. Just don't use too much 'pressure'. use only one tab or try one plate. Should work!!!
