It’s Day One of a blog hop to highlight the Simon Says Stamp Celebrate Release! For my card today, I’m featuring my new CZ Design Grad Foil Transfer Cards that coordinate with an older die in my collection, CZ Design Grad Word/Shadow dies. I’m also using some of the new Simon Says Stamp Bronze Deco Foil Transfer Sheets. Here is a straight on shot, the doesn’t show any of the shine:

It’s a very earthy foil color and I foiled one Pink and Main Black Toner Panel to create a fully foiled sheet that I cut one of my sunbursts out of using the Celestial Burst Die.
I also cut the sunbursts from Black Cardstock and Gold Glitter Cardstock for a fun bit of repetition. A little black ink spattered on the card was a finishing touch.
We have a fun blog hop special today!

Just follow the steps in the graphic above to get this fun die set free with any purchase!
