If you love interactive cards with layers and a little unexpected twist, you’ll love this card-inside-a-card project! Using the Charming Day Bundle and Everyday Details Arches Dies, this handmade card blends elegance, die-cutting, and shimmer—thanks to the standout use of gold accents including the Metallic Texture Rub-Ons.

Whether you’re sending a “Thinking of You” note or celebrating a birthday, this design is flexible enough for a variety of occasions.  You can watch the video replay HERE.

What Makes This Card Special

• Card Inside a Card Format
  This design features a mini card tucked inside the standard card base. It adds a playful element and gives extra space for a heartfelt message (or even a surprise gift card!).
• Charming Day Bundle
  This bundle includes sweet, whimsical dies and coordinating stamps perfect for everyday notes. I used the floral, bird, and label dies to create the focal image and sentiment on the front.
• Everyday Details Arches Dies
  These versatile arches provide the perfect backdrop to frame your die cuts and give structure to the inner card. They add a modern but soft architectural feel.
• Metallic Texture Rub-Ons
  This might be my favourite part! I added gold rub-on details directly onto the cardstock for a shimmering finish that catches the light—without the mess of heat embossing or foil. It adds a WOW factor with zero bulk.
