Use it Up in Silver

 

I had two sheets of silver patterned paper that were part of a materials swap (from Stampin' Up's Feels Like Frost 6 x 6 paper pack).  I decided to use a double one-sheet wonder layout to make 5 cards from them. One of those cards was used for my materials swap (card #1) - here are the rest of them. 

Card #2: (picture at top of this post) - This card started as simply a gate-fold card.  I cut an extra piece of white card stock to mat the overlapping silver piece - glued this to the right side of the gate-fold - and then cut away the rest of the right side of the gate-fold.  I had started this card with one piece of each patterned paper.  I chose to cut one of those pieces into 2 squares and a leftover piece.  I matted all three of these with silver and added them to the left panel as you can see.  I found 3 identical die cuts (Snowflake Foiled Fancies from HOTP), backed them with white, and added them as you can see here (the one in the lower right was added to the inside of the card after matting it with silver glimmer paper.  The one in the upper left corner was added with foam tape and serves as a "latch" to hold the card closed.  I also added a Hunkydory sentiment in such a way as part of it shows above the flap and the rest is hidden inside the card (again added to the inside of the card after matting the inside of the card).

Inside:

 

Inside, I added a silver glimmer paper to the flap (to cover the join) and to the inside.  In addition, I cut a strip of white for a greeting - cut to fit behind the left flap.

Card #3:

 

Once again, I had two pieces of patterned paper.  This time I matted the whiter one.  The one with more silver was attached to the bottom of the card.  It would have been better to wrap with the white ribbon before I added it, but I did not, so had to cut it and hope the adhesive will hold it and keep it from raveling.  I added the matted piece to the upper left side.  I found another of those snowflake foiled fancies - again backing it with white before adding it and a Hunkydory sentiment.

Card #4:

 

This was a really quick and easy card with just one piece of patterned paper matted on silver before adding it to the card front.  Again I backed the foiled fancy snowflake before adding it to the center.  The last step was a greeting (again from Hunkydory sentiment book) added to the center with foam tape.

Card #5:

 

The last card made use of a narrow strip of paper that had been left over from another card.  I trimmed it to fit and put it between the other two pieces of paper that made up the rest of the card background as you can see.  I added a white die cut circle and another foiled fancy snowflake for the focal - then added another Hunkydory greeting to complete the card.
