Always Shine by Mitsyana Wright

Hey there, crafty friends!! Welcome back to another fun filled week with Craftwell and Sabor Papel!! I am so happy to kick off this new week! We are going to continue in our month long celebration with more amazing projects!!

Today, I made a card for the daughter of a family friend whose daughter will be graduating this year. She is such an amazing young woman and I wanted to remind her always SHINE!!

So, I made her this card that says "Be Golden. SHINE".

Supplies Used

Cut'n'boss(Craftwell)

Teresa Collins Pocket Dies- Noteworthy, Thankful Holiday (Craftwell)

Recuerdos Ole (Sabor Papel)

Ramitos (Sabor Papel)

Corazonzitos (Sabor Papel)

Stitched Rectangle Die (Pink and Main)

Nesting Circles Die (Darice)

3" Sticker Maker (Xyron)

Kraft Cardstock

Gold Foil/ Mirror Paper

Burlap

3D Lacquer

Craft Foam

3D Dots (EK Success)

PITT Artist Pen S ( Faber-Castell)

Using the bigest of my stitched rectangle dies from Pink and Main, I ran it through my cut'n'boss machine and die cut out one of the panels from the Recuerdos Ole paper from the Ole Collection .

Then I die cut these decorative my be golden die from the orange panel from the same sheet from above and also from the Ramitos paper.

Then, I cut my star with the word "shine" out of gold metallic paper. I also die cut a circle mat for my Be Golden die cut using my Darice Nesting Circle die. And, I took a smaller circle die and die cut a piece of craft foam.

then die cut the star framed rectangle die out of Corazonzitos paper.

I ran my die cut pieces through my Xyron sticker maker and layered my circle "be golden" piece onto it's gold mat. Then, with a glue pen, I attached the orange letters from the second cutout into the empty alphabet spaces. I then attached the foam circle on the backside of my die cut.

I used a glue pen to attach my star frame to my card.Then. attached my circle piece onto my card as well.

I die cut my star from moor gold paper and then layered it onto a piece of Corazonzitos Paper and cut a thin border round the whole star. Once completely trimmed, I added foam adhesive to the back for a bit of dimension and attached it onto my card.

I then trace around the letters on my "Be Golden" with a PITT Artist pen to define the words better.

Lastly, I cut a strip of burlap (about 1/2" x 4") and tied a simple knot onto it and then trimmed the ends. Then I used 3D Lacquer to attach it to my card front!

I love how this card has a very Boho vibe going on wit it. These colors and bright beautiful patterns just grab you and pull you in!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!

And I hope the recipient will too!!

I hope you all enjoyed today's project!!

Until next time...

HAPPY CRAFTING, FRIENDS!!
