A couple days ago I posted a card here I made after watching Gina K demo in a booth at the stamp show in Madison. She demoed her Foil Mates paper using a starry foil from Deco Foil and a laminator and I grabbed some of the snowflakes sheets and special foil before it all sold out. She also demoed how to use the left over foil with a toner sheet and that is what I did for the starry sparkly background on this card. IRL when I move it, the stars just pop out with movable shine- love it! I simply layered the sheet on green and red and added a joyful snowman I cut out with a new die from Penny Black. I also purchased Gina K Holly Jolly Sentiments Foil Mates and I ran one of them through the laminator with the Rainbow Deco Foil.
It is really hard to capture all the starry sparkle on this card in photographs. I die cut a Poppy Stamps Callum Stitched Snowflake out of the white center piece and popped a silver foiled snowflake back in for a fun center to write my holiday message on. My goal is to play with all my new Christmas dies, stamps and other products and get the cards blogged before Christmas.
I am entering this card in the Christmas to Die For challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Wow! So much sparkle and shine - awesome! xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and so festive. It looks like you are enjoying working with the foil mates. What brand of heat source are you using for these? I don't have a machine and might try and buy one once I recoup my bank account after the holiday shopping.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked our Deco Foil! This is a perfect way to use our Silver Stars Foil!
