Butterfly Note Card

 Hey everyone!

Today, I'm sharing a pretty Butterfly Note Card.


I used stamps from Tracy Evans "Dog Rose & Butterfly" stamp set.  The image was stamped on on watercolor paper and then painted with watercolors.  I also stamped the butterfly and word "butterfly" separately on watercolor paper and painted those as well and then cut them out.  The butterfly is popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix  and the word is fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix

Metallic Foil Graduation Card

 



I always think of graduations at this time of year which inspired me to put together this shiny Metallic Foil Graduation card.  I really like the shine of these metallic colors! I've combined green and blue foils.  That was a happy accident when I started to apply foil, I thought I had just a blue sheet in my hand.  When I peeled away the foil, I discovered there was a sheet of green foil under the blue. The sheets are so thin and cling together.  So I added blue with  the green and really liked it!

Stunning Embossed Foil Card

I've been experimenting with applying foil to card stock and then embossing it.  I like the results.  I put together this card one of the pieces.


I used pink foil from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors fastened to cardstock with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6in. before embossing it.  Then I applied Archival Jet Black ink over the embossed.  Over that I put clear embossing powder and heat embossed.  That seals the ink plus the heat adds a texture to foil.  I've tried embossing with foiled papers and they often crack but this doesn't do that.


I posted all the directions on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  You can find it HERE.

It's a technique that can be used with other embossing folders.  I find the 3D folders give the best results.

Lucky Friend Card

 Thinking of St Patrick's Day with this Lucky Friend card.  



I posted this card on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today.  Find all the details HERE.

The foiled shamrock is made with hearts covered by metallic transfer foil.  It's a fun technique.  I used some foil for the border on verse, too.  Although it's hard to see in photo, the background has been spritzed with Distress Spritz Mowed Lawn so it has a shimmer.  


All the directions with step out photos so you can see how to make your own shamrock are HERE.

Hello Friend Card

 Hello!



Today I'm sharing a Hello Friend card that's posted on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog.  All the details with directions and step out photos are HERE.

I used a stamp set from Simon Hurley for the pretty flowers and colored them with watercolors.  Each one was fussy cut out.  There is a die set for that stamp but I don't have it.  I find fussy cutting rather meditative!  Each one is popped up with 3D Foam Squares.  I used a Sizzix die designed by Tim Holtz to cut the tiny envelope and card insert. The background lattice was cut with another die by Sizzix called Layered Plaid.  Check all the info HERE
