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 :)

I fell victim to a highly sophisticated crypto phishing scam that completely drained my Bitcoin wallet. The experience was devastating I had invested years of savings, and in just a few moments, everything was gone. At first, I thought there was no hope of recovery, especially since most people warned me that crypto losses were irreversible. But then I discovered Astraweb, and reaching out to them was the best decision I made. From the first consultation, they were professional, transparent, and clear about the recovery process. Their team used advanced blockchain forensic tools to track the movement of my stolen funds across multiple anonymous wallets and mixing services. To my surprise, Astraweb managed to trace and recover a significant portion of my lost Bitcoin within days. They kept me updated at every stage, provided me with evidence of progress, and handled my case with absolute confidentiality. Thanks to Astraweb, I recovered what I had assumed was lost forever. If you’ve been scammed or had your crypto stolen, I strongly recommend contacting them their expertise is unmatched in the recovery space.

My Bitcoin Recovery Experience with Cloudstrike Cybersecurity

A few weeks ago, I made what I thought was an irreversible mistake — I accidentally sent about $117,000 worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address. It was supposed to be used for a major purchase, but one typo changed everything. The moment I hit “send” and realized what had happened, my heart sank. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart. That money was everything I had.

Like many people, I’d always heard that crypto transactions are final and basically impossible to recover. I started reading forums, asking around, and all I saw were messages telling me there was nothing I could do. It felt hopeless.

Then I came across a company called Cloudstrike Cybersecurity . I’ll admit — I was skeptical at first. It just sounded too good to be true, but I figured I had nothing to lose. I contacted them through their email[Cloudstrikecyber@gmail.com]

To my surprise, they responded quickly and professionally. They asked for all the relevant transaction details — the wallet address I sent the Bitcoin from, the one I sent it to, the transaction ID, and a few other things. I sent it all over, still unsure if anything would come of it.

But within 48 hours, they got back to me with incredible news: they had tracked down the transaction and recovered my funds. I couldn’t believe it. I actually had to reread the email a few times to let it sink in. They guided me step by step and transferred the recovered Bitcoin back to my wallet. I was in shock — and honestly, beyond grateful.

I never thought recovery like this was even possible, but Cloudstrike Cybersecurity proved me wrong. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They truly saved me.
