Golden Pineapple

The Golden Pineapple…. doesn’t that sound like a trophy you’d win for a Hawaiian surfing competition, or something? In this case, it’s me jumping on this huge trend of pineapples and adding some fantastic gold foil cardstock.

I started with a blank card, which is something CutCardStock does so well! I chose a smaller size card, A1 (also known as 4 bar). It’s nice to have a stock of these cut and scored so that when I’m ready I can just grab the card base, matching envelope and go….
I knew I wanted to compliment the gold foil cardstock I was going to use on this card, so I chose to emboss the pineapple and sentiment in gold embossing powder. Versamark ink and the Misti are must-haves for me!
After I embossed the stamped images, I added in some color detail with my Primacolor pencils. I’m not sure how realistic I colored the body of the pineapple, but I had fun with it!
Here’s a close up after I added the stamped front panel onto the pre-made card, and added some gold foil cardstock strips down both sides for accent. I love the bling and the simplicity of this card. I say you can never go wrong with a little added gold, and now is the time to stock up because all gold and silver cardstocks are on sale this month!
And one last look for you. I hope you enjoyed this card and all the projects you are seeing from our talented design team! Be sure to check us out on Facebook and follow us on Instagram so you don’t miss any inspiration or sales updates.
