A Foiled Holiday

A Foiled Holiday

Hey Crafty Meraki friends!  Michelle back with more holiday inspiration for you.  For my card today, I decided to do no stamping at all but instead do some hot foiling on these gorgeous ornaments....I love the vintage feel to them! Let's get started, shall we!

To start I used the 'Tis the Season Hot Foil Plate and foiled the ornament 5 times, using a mix of red, green, gold and an iridescent silver.  Each of the foils have a gorgeous sparkly finish to them.  Once they were foiled, I diecut them using the coordinating die.

For the background, I diecut a panel using the Parisienne Mini Slimline Die and then added some colour to it using a light grey Distress Ink.  I didn't want anything too bold of a colour for the background, so as not to distract from the ornaments.

Some gold splatters were added on the left side, under where the ornaments would go.  The sentiment was heat embossed in gold from the Gilded Holiday Greetings Stamp Set and cut out with the coordinating dies. 

I placed the ornaments temporarily where I'd like them and then used a piece of Press 'N Seal to pick them up, so that the arrangement would remain exactly as I placed them.  Next I added the strings that the ornaments would be hanging from. 

Adhesive was added to the back of the ornaments and they were placed back exactly on the diecut where I wanted them.  I removed the Press N Seal and this is where I realized that as it has a sticky nature it does remove a bit of the foil from the ornaments, as they stick to it a bit.  Not enough to make a big difference, but enough for me to notice......oh well.  The sentiment was added with foam adhesive and the finishing touches added with the Meraki Sparkle Magic Crystal gems....because you always need some sparkle and these little crystals are gorgeous!  I added it all to my cardbase and that's it!

And there we go...a festive and sparkly holiday card that has zero stamping, but has lots of gorgeous foil instead!  

I hope that you have enjoyed my post for today and that I help to inspire you some way. I wish you all the most wonderful and crafty day and until next time,

Michelle :)

Finding Light After Digital Deception

When I entered the world of cryptocurrency, I was filled with hope. The idea of growing my savings through technology felt exciting. But that excitement vanished when I discovered I’d been scammed by a fake trading platform. Within days, my money disappeared along with the people behind it. The loss wasn’t just financial; it shattered my trust. For weeks, I blamed myself and replayed every decision. Still, I couldn’t accept defeat. That determination led me to Astraweb. Unlike others who made empty promises, their team was calm, professional, and focused on real results. They explained how digital footprints can still be traced and involved me in every step. Slowly, progress appeared. Transactions I thought were gone forever began connecting, exposing the hidden path of my stolen funds. Weeks later, Astraweb achieved what I thought was impossible they recovered my money. The relief was beyond words. More than the financial gain, it restored my faith in justice and fairness in a world full of deceit. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that hope doesn’t end with loss. Sometimes, all you need is the right team to help you rise again.

I met an individual on an international dating app, Bumpy. After talking for a few months, the individual encouraged me to start investing on crypto asset trading platform, btc01.org. I started trading and believed I was making profit until I tried to withdraw some of my money, I was asked to pay extra for tax which I did and they kept asking then I knew I have been scammed, I had to contact HACKWEST AT WRITEME DOT COM who then helped to recover the money, the total money I invest is $198,000 in bitcoin. The website is no longer operational. If anyone is in a similar issue, you can as well contact HACK WEST. They also fixed my credit report.
