Introducing Royal Flourish / Card and Box Ensembles

Hi Glimmeristas, I hope you are ready for more Glimmer Fun!!!  We have a new mini collection we are introducing today called Royal Flourish.   With two card fronts as well as an oval border shape and square border shape - we'll have some stash-worthy things for you to look at.    We thought it would be fun to make a card and a matching box using some of our favorite die sets and the new Royal Flourish Glimmer Plates.  It's easy to do and is a show stopper when we need to give a gift.  

Inspiration for Royal Flourish

Have you ever noticed during period dramas like Game of Thrones that the Royalty each have their own insignia and way of writing? It's so cool and really fascinating that these things mattered to them.  There was actually a lot of thought and flair behind the written word.   It’s really no different today; we all have our own flourishes of style that we lay down to call things our own.  It was this spirit of honing a style that Becca said provided the inspiration for Royal Flourish.  Glimmer is such a lovely way to add rich detail and embellishment!

We've been especially loving using borders with glimmer.  For this collection, Becca created two border sets that you can cut with Hemstitch Squares and Hemstitch Ovals.   Card fronts that can take a sentiment seem to be the favorite, so happily there are two details plates that will make lovely frames to your favorite sentiments.

My Project For Today: 

I'm happy to introduce GLP-129 Contessa's Seal Panel Hot Foil Plate Royal Flourish

I really love the versatility of this new plate and as you see today as you all hop through all of our blogs there are so many fun things that you can do with it.  For my card i decided to use it as a layer mixed in with one of my favorite old dies from Becca Feeken.  I used the mat gold foil for my plate so that it would mix in nicely with all of my die cut pieces.   Then i added the center oval and stamped Congrats.  Lots of pink flowers and just a few rhinestones finished it.  So easy....

And for my second project i created a small box using the gold glimmer plate as my lid.  I measured the width of the plate and then made a simple box to fit it and added the top to close it with a small rhinestone button.  I also used the same center piece on my card to fit over the top to add a little bit more detail to my box.  It's the perfect side to add a small matching card or a gift card insert.
