Same but different elegant card making ~ diecuts 3D embossing & luscious layers

HI there. Welcome to my blog. With this project, you will learn creative ways to use the same products in different ways. In today's example, I show how to change up layers, color, sentiments and texture to make two different cards with different themes. Another tip is to switch up sentiments to fit the occasion. This cocktail goblet can be used for many occasions and with assorted coordinating icons to fit your theme. I use products from the Happier Hour Collection. I included the actual supplies that I used in the project. But, of course, you can always use what you have to make all kinds of "Same But Different" cards.

Helpful Tips:

1. Preheat the Glimmer Hot Foil System platform and prepare your die-cutting machine for cutting and embossing.

2. Precut and score two vertical card bases from white Colorwheel cardstock.

3. Hot foil and die-cut the sentiments using A Special Toast Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set onto a piece of cotton cardstock using a black hot foil roll. (pretty side facing the plate)

4. Die-cut, ink blend and assemble two sets of goblets and icons from A Special Toast Etched Dies.

5. Trim two large background panels 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" in Alabaster and Bellini cardstock colors.

6. Die-cut two layered forefront frame panels using coordinating cardstock colors and Linear touch rectangle dies.

7. Dry emboss the two large background panels using the Crackle Paint 3D Embossing Folder.

8. Layer and adhere the two different sets of goblets, icons and sentiments to the two prepared card fronts.

First, here is a look at the wedding themed ring card.
Sentiments: (outside) A ring, a promise, a lifetime.
(inside) Cheers to happily ever after.

Next, take a look at the anniversary card with a bolder look.
Sentiments: (outside) Happy Anniversary
(inside) Pop, clink, fizz & celebrate.

Additionally, here is another look at both cards together.
