Quick Foil Christmas Cards

If you love bling this post is for you! Today I'm sharing a pair of cards made with the Pink & Main "Home For Christmas" Foilables.

I've tried different hot foil methods and this is my favorite because it's a no fail technique. Additionally, if you have a toner printer you can make your own custom foilable pieces. The Pink & Main Foilable sheets are just toner printed on semi gloss paper. When topped with the Cheerfoil of your choice and run through the Minc laminator the results are flawless. I've never had a single panel that was missing pieces.

And if you have your own toner printer (I bought one on Amazon for a little over $100) you can print your own foilable sheets. I love all the choices of foil colors and patterns available.

My cards today are topped with sentiments from the Pink & Main "Hand Lettered Holiday Greetings" package. The pack has A WHOLE LOT of different sentiments for holiday designs.

I added the sentiments with adhesive foam tape so they are raised from the flat background making them look a little fussier. The finishing touch on just the white background panel was a sprinkle of red gems.

I'm linking to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown where this time they're looking for QUICK cards!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Thanks for stopping by! Fall is in the air! Today I'm sharing a card made with ALL Die cuts and I'm linking up at Die Cut Divas where this time it's Anything Goes - so no excuses for not playing along!

These are the fall pumpkins from Pink & Main. The set includes two gourds and a bitty pumpkin with some foliage and the "happy fall" sentiment.

My background is some stacked plaid cover panels in shades of yellow and orange. To create a focal point I added a white Reverse Scallop Circle. This makes the gourds pop.

I cut the "happy fall" sentiment from dark teal cardstock and then cut the panel again with a sentiment strip. I added the strip with adhesive foam tape so I could tuck bitty purple leaves underneath. I love that they added score lines to the leaves to help bring them to life.

The finishing touch is always some bling.. this time it's a sprinkle of purple gems! I always think of purple for fall and winter - it's a little unexpected and I hope it made you look twice!

You're A Real Gem!

Halloween is creeping up FAST! I love seeing what's popular every year and am always impressed at the creativity I see in peoples choice of costume and how they are created. So how many of you are going as pirates this Halloween?

I've got a fun card of an underwater scene today made with lots of die cuts on a simple Distress Oxide background. I love the Distress Oxide for blending... it's smooth creamy texture makes it seamless. I tend to use the original Distress Ink when I want bright bold colors!

I love the Inquisitive Pirate Add On die set. There are lots of details worth noting like the stitched detail in the treasure map, the facet cuts on the coins and gems as well as the layers for building the treasure chest.

The sentiment is from the Treasure Hunt Sentiments stamp set. It has lots of clever sayings that pair perfectly with the pirate theme.

I added a little crab from the Happy Crabs set. There was no waste with this one as I cut it from light and dark red cardstock and then alternated the layers to make two crabs. I added silly eyes to make him just a little more cute!

I'm playing along at Creative Knockouts where this time it's Halloween or Fall and there's still lots of time to play!
