First up we have this glitzy cards using glitter foam in a rose gold color. I paired navy, gray, and white cardstock. I did not do die cut inlay on this but it looks like it. The background is a panel of navy cardstock. I die cut the gray from the layered diamond die and used every other one to create the pattern on the top and bottom.
The glitter foam cuts beautifully and doesn’t squish too much.
Finally, I white heat embossed a sentiment on a square of vellum.

For the next two cards, I die cut three layered diamonds from a rainbow of cardstock. There’s more than enough to make two cards. This slimline card did take some time to glue everything down. I drew a line down the middle length ways with a pencil to use a guide to keep things pretty straight.
The solid diamonds are every other rose with the outlines on top. The rows with the black background are just the outlines.
I cut a custom sentiment on my Silhouette and finished off the card with a touch of glossy accents and Nuvo Aqua shimmer.
These were leftovers from the first card and it turned into my favorite card. I made geometric flowers with Nuvo drops in the center. I kept them in rainbow order and just made the points touch in the middle. Anything that was hanging over, I trimmed off with my paper trimmer.
This card needs a pop of black with the sentiment.
I hope you find inspiration and I can’t wait to see what you create with this mighty little die.
