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.

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

Warm Winter Wishes Card

 Hello Friends,

When I found, or should I say rediscovered, a pretty Penny Black printed card of snowy landscape, I was inspired to make this card. It's winter here in Minnesota but so far without much snow.

I wanted the image to be focal point so I kept background subtle with white embossed design.  It adds interest yet doesn't take away from main image.  I've added a stamped and die cut verse that's simple and small and fits with the design.  All the details with step out photos are on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog today....click HERE to go to it.
