Foiling Tutorial #3

Hi there, how are you doing?
I was asked if it is possible to foil without a foiling machine, a laminator, or an electronic machine. YES, IT IS! Isn't that exciting?
I foiled the card, which tutorial I'm posting today, WITHOUT any of those. Ready? Check this out.

Supplies Used:

1. Deep red (5.5"x 8.5"folded in half), white, and black (4"x 5.25")  cardstock

2. Candy cane paper cut at 3.75"x 5"and adhered to white cardstock of same size

3. Gina K Fancy Foil Radiant Red

4. Double sided adhesive roll - 1/8" and 1/4"

5. 11/4"x 21/16" gift tag (I used my McGill Scallop Multi Tag Punch)

6. Sentiment Stamp (I used a Sweet N Sassy Stamp from the "Born This Day" set)

1/4"Gold Ribbon

7. Adhesive foam (cut at 3.5"x 4.75")

TUTORIAL

Glue strips of both sizes double sided adhesive tapes on stripes of Candy Cane paper as shown in the card picture. 

The next step you will do one by one of the stripes with the double sided adhesive tapes: Peel the protection layer from tape, place Foil on it, and burnish it on tape. Remove Foil, and the you will have a foiled stripe on the paper. Repeat this for all stripes with  adhesive tape. 

For the tag, I punched the black cardstock and, just holding the white cardstock (with sentiment already stamped on it) with my tag punch, I drew the tag with a pencil (see picture), but DID NOT PUNCH it. 

Then I fussy cut it with fine point scissors. That way, it was a little smaller than the black tag that I used as a frame. 
Using the 1/8" double sided adhesive tape glue the gold ribbon on candy cane paper to decorate.
Glue the gift tag on paper using double sided adhesive foam, then glue bow.
Adhere black cardstock to red card base 
Adhere 3.5"x 4.75" Adhesive foam on the back of candy cane paper (already glued to white cardstock), then glue it to black cardstock.
Glue  4"x 5.25"white cardstock inside your card. 
That's it! Pretty easy, isn't it? 

I hope you use foiling to make some beautiful things for those special people in your life.

Napkin Background Tutorial

Hi there, how's everybody doing?
Have you ever needed a patterned paper that doesn't exist? I have. This card came from one of those situations. I wanted to make a patriotic card for my sister and her family for 4th of July, but didn't find a paper that I liked. At a store, I saw these napkins for only $1.99, and they were exactly what I wanted. So I decided to create my background cardstock with one of those napkins. Here is the card and tutorial. 

Supplies used:
1. Dark red and white cardstock
2. Patriotic napkin
3. Frosted Lace Stickles Gitter Adhesive
4. Sizzix 6"x6" Double Sided Adhesive Sheet
5. Permanent Adhesive Roller
6. Embellishments

TUTORIAL
Cut red cardstock 5.5"x 8.5". Score it at 4.25" and fold it. (base card)
Cut white cardstock 5.25" x 4", adhere it to card base with Permanent Adhesive
Open napkin and remove white back tissue paper from it (some napkins have 2 plies of white tissue paper added to the napkin itself). 
Remove first layer of the Double Sided Adhesive Sheet and adhere it to white cardstock. Trim excess. 
Turn napkin around (back of the napkin facing you)
Remove the other layer of Double Sided Adhesive Sheet, and carefully place it on napkin. Using a spatula or a credit card carefully smooth the napkin on adhesive sheet, making sure there are no bubbles and the corner are very well glued.
Now you have the background you want, and it's ready to be decorated and glued to your card. I used the Gitter Adhesive to give some shimmer to the stars, a red ribbon and a sticker that I had in my stash.

I hope you decide to try this technique. It's fun, inexpensive, and the possibilities are endless. 

Also remember those who fought for our freedom, and celebrate 4th of July safely.

Foiled Card - Tutorial #2

Hello everyone,
How are you enjoying your summer? A bit too hot for me, but hey, it's CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Woohoo!. I love Christmas. After all, it is the celebration of the Son of God coming to earth to save us from our sins. What a love! What a tremendous love! So, to celebrate Christmas in July I'm doing a series of Christmas cards using foil. Today I'm posting a tutorial for more deco foil using toner sheets, which I fell in love with since I do not have a laser printer. Here is the card,

Supplies I used
1. 5.5"x 4.25" cards in white, beige, and red
2. white cardstock
3. Self adhesive toner sheets
4. Therm O Web - Fancy Foils - 6 x 8 - Radiant Red + Gold Deco foil
5. Elizabeth Crafts Christmas ornament dies - base and cover
8. Merry Christmas die
9. Embellishments
10. Laminator

TUTORIAL 

Turn on your Laminator and let it warm up. Using the ornament die base, cut that shape from the  Self adhesive toner sheet. **Place the die-cut inside folded parchment paper, cover with a piece of the  Therm O Web - Fancy Foils - 6 x 8 - Red Velvet (a little larger than the die-cut), and run folded parchment paper in the laminator.** You will get that beautiful, shimmery, red ball. Then, cut the  ornament die cover from the Self adhesive toner sheet too. Use the same process **-** to foil it with the gold foil. The process to cover the die-cut sentiment, in this case "Merry Christmas" is the same. Using the Darice Snowflake Scroll Design embossing folder, emboss the white card. Check the card picture for details. Finish your card as it is in the picture, or use your creativity and change 
things up a little.
