Welcome to Day 1 of a two-day blog hop for the Holiday Sparkle release from Simon Says Stamp! Today I’m sharing a new addition to the CZ Design collection—my first hot foil plate!
This plate is designed to coordinate with my Joyful word and shadow die, so if you already have that, you can cut out the foiled word with the shadow die!
The Aura Glimmer Foil is such a cool product! It looks different at every angle.
Here is my video showing you how I created this card:
Now onto the blog hop fun!
