Metallic Pearlescent Magnets

Have you seen cards with a bit of a shine to them?  Not the smooth clear gloss, but, instead, more like a shimmer?  This is a fun option for cards;  Sometimes people go with a metallic pearlescent card stock in gold or silver colors for their invitation.  This kind of card stock is available in a variety of colors, but those two happen to be the most popular.

Well, Save the Date Originals can use this kind of card stock for magnets.  And yes, it does look cool.

Check out this photograph:

This example is a 6x2.7 inch magnet with a boarding pass theme.  The cardstock used is a shimmery leaf gold.

With metallic card stock, we definitely want to stick with designs that are fairly simple.  No full color photographs or background colors- instead, the design will let the metallic card stock show itself off.

Note: It isn't easy to photograph a shimmery paper with a gloss over it!  With the clear gloss, you have to be wary of reflections;  And then the shimmer isn't easy to see in a photograph unless the light is hitting at just the right angle.

Pearlescent metallic card stock magnets aren't priced out on the website yet (2013), and this is just another example of a custom project.
