A Glimpse into the Card Set
This card set includes two exquisite holiday cards, each radiating festive cheer and elegance. Both cards are hot foiled in a vibrant sparkle magenta, creating a striking and eye-catching effect. The intricate poinsettia designs, combined with the rich magenta hue, make these cards perfect for the holiday season.
The Shaker Card: A Touch of Sparkle
One of the standout features of this card set is the shaker card. This card utilizes the reverse foiled image, achieved using the solid hot foil plate. The result is a mesmerizing blend of sparkle and dimension, with the reverse foiled poinsettias adding a unique twist. The shaker elements inside the card add a playful and interactive element, making it a joy to receive and display.
Merry Christmas: From Our Home to Yours
The second card in the set carries a heartfelt message, "Merry Christmas from our home to yours." The combination of the festive poinsettia design and the warm greeting makes this card a perfect way to send holiday wishes to loved ones. The hot foiling technique used here enhances the elegance of the card, making it a true keepsake.
