This was such a fun post for me to put together.  We all love shiny and sparkly for the holidays, and the easiest way to incorporate that bit of glamour and glitz into your card or scrapbook projects is by simply using a metallic cardstock.  The highly glossed, or mirror cardstock just so happens to be a favorite among our design team. They love to both die cut and dry emboss with it. We have the mirror cardstock available as well as a standard metallic, plus a few others. The Craft Foils by Spellbinders also do the trick! (They are more like thin sheets of metal, rather than paper). This evening I’m just going to show you some of the ways that our Design Team likes to use the metallic papers to add glitz without a lot of extra time or effort.

You can find all of our cardstock/specialty papers here.

Mirror paper used for an elaborate frame by Linda. Find original post here.

The same key but a different heart. Find my original post here.

Heidi created a doily here with the metallic paper (and another key!). Find original post here.

And here’s another doily layer created by Sheri. Find her original post here.

And how about some beautiful angel wings by Darsie! Find the original post here.

It’s a cover for a room air freshener — clever!

Here the mirror paper is perfect for Michelle’s cake plate and sentiment. Find original post here.

Or how about some beautiful poppies in gold by Michelle. Find the original post here.

And here’s a stunning silver filigree vase by Sheri. Find original post here.

Hello surely stands out with the mirror paper in silver. Another from Michelle. Find original post here.

Here’s a beautiful accent around a vintage silhouette by Michelle. Find original post here.

And here’s a card I did using the mirror paper as a mat to an embossed sentiment. Can’t get much easier.

Simple but classy was the goal.

This sentiment is no longer available but any sentiment, for any occasion, works!

And this was a birthday card I made for our oldest son embossing the Spellbinders Craft Foil, then lightly sanding it will steel wool. Find the original post here.

On this tag Linda used the Spellbinders Craft Foil for the backing sheet, just peeking through – lovely. Find original post here.

Sheri embossed Spellbinders Craft Foil for this Christmas beauty. Find the original post here.

And I truly could go on and on. Our Design Team loves the sparkle and glitz from these papers and foils.
