Holiday Foliage With Bright Colors

September 8, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m so excited as I received my first Simon Says Stamp Stamptember order.  I couldn’t wait to play with this gorgeous stencil called Holiday Foliage from Simon Says Stamp.  As soon as I saw it on the site I knew I wanted to pull out my Therm O Web Deco Foil transfer gel so I could foil with rainbow foil from Therm O Web.  Using the Holiday Foliage stencil and the deco foil transfer gel afforded me the opportunity to make something amazing.

Simon Says Stamp Holiday Foliage

This product is so easy to use.  All you need to do is smooth on some of the transfer gel through a stencil, peel off the stencil and your design off to the side to dry.  Once it is dried (it will go from a creamy white to a shiny clear coating) you are ready to foil.  Shifting the rainbow foil to all use a portion of the colors was perfect for this design.   To adhere the foil to the design I ran this it through my laminator and then the giggled began.  As I peeled back the foil to reveal my design I could of  burst with happiness.  I mean, who wouldn’t love their holiday foliage to be in these colors?

Keeping my panel very simple to not distraction is a perfect way to show this design element.  To keep my panel from laying directly onto my card base, I trimmed it down and placed it on some fog card stock from Simon Says Stamp.  Next I ran my joyful die from Simon Says Stamp through my Gemini Jr. using the Therm O Web foam adhesive sheet.  I peeled off the protective covering and applied some gold deco foil over it.

Now it was time to bring  more gold on my card so I trimmed a strip of foam adhesive and covered it with gold deco foil.  Placing it  neatly down the side of the design piece  I was able to bring the design all together.  I place everything on a white card base and added faux stitching around the foliage piece for some added interest.

I truly love how this came out and I can’t wait to make more background with this stencil and Therm O Web products. To see more projects using Therm O Web products, you can click my Therm O Web gallery.  Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.

Rainbow Foiled Sweet Sisters Heart Card

July 31, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m back sharing another card using a stencil from Rita Barakat. A sweet rainbow foiled Sweet Sisters Heart card was in order today.  I love love love the rainbow shattered glass foil from Therm-O-Web and I thought it would be beautiful with this stencil.  If you missed my project from last week, you can find it here. You can also find beautiful work designed by Rita here on her blog. So let’s get into the cards I have for you.

The simplicity of this stencil is what works so well for this foil.  The clean lines of this image is a perfect layout to attached foil to. Remember never throw out the negative piece once you are complete.  I will share a card below on how to use it on another card.

Okay, back to my first card.  I sprayed pixie spray onto the back of the stencil to keep it in place while I worked.  Using my stencil pal and some deco foil transfer gel, I laid down a thin layer of gel over the stencil keeping the coat nice and even.  I pulled off the stencil and set the paper aside to dry.  Once this piece was completely dry, I placed a piece of  Rainbow Shattered Glass foil onto of the lines of the design and ran it through my laminator.  The magic happens once you pull back the foil and you get this beautiful rainbow lined image.  Look how gorgeous this is.  (I must admit I did have a little bit of a giggle attack when I say how pretty this was).  Choosing not to color in this image allowed the line work to be the star.

I chose to keep the card really clean and simple and added just a quick sentiment to the corner of the card.

Remember I said to not get rid of the negative piece of the foil as you can turn it into another card.  For this card, I pulled the negative piece of the Sweet Sisters Heart stencil and placed it on a toner sheet. I preheated my laminator and ran this panel through it.  Once you peel off the negative piece, the foil sticks to the toner sheet.  You end up with this gorgeous rainbow background.  Isn’t she gorgeous.  The stark black outline from the toner sheet works so great with this stencil.

Again keeping this card simple, I added a simple sentiment and layered this panel on a white card base.

I think this might just be my favorite card.  The sparkle of the foil is stunning with this beautiful image.

For my cards today I used distress oxide inks, rainbow foil and a stencil.  There are so many ways to be inspired when making a rainbow cards and there are so many variations of styles and techniques.  I’m going to share three with you in the tutorial that I hope inspire you to pull out your colorful paper and get busy. Here’s a few picks of the card before we get started.  The first cards I just pulled out my distress oxide inks and got busy.  I love how simple and colorful this card came out.

 

 

For my next card I used the distress stripe toner sheets from Therm-O-Web and the rainbow shattered glass foil.  Oh this foil is soooo yummy and beautiful.  I have all the products I used listed below.

 

 

And for my last card, I pulled out a stencil and used the transfer gel and rainbow foil to create a fun distressed circle background.

Working My Green With A St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil Birthday Card

March 9, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m working my green today making a St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil card.  My birthday is on St. Patrick’s day and it’s a special on this year because my twin and I are turning 50!  Yes we made it to this fabulous age and I couldn’t be happier.  You see when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  It was the scariest time of my life and for my family.  We were so fortunate that the cancer was easily removed and I am almost 10 years cancer free.

Anyway back to the St. Patrick’s Day card for my sister. I started with a beautiful blend of distress oxide inks for my background.  Next I added some splattered gold splatter to the background as well.  Wanting to pull in some beautiful gold foil on my card, so I grabbed my deco foil foam adhesive sheets and foil sheets and got busy.

My completed card looked great with all the gold and green.  Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. You can see more of the deco foil in action on this video I made during my holiday card series.

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 4

November 12, 2018

Hey peeps.  It’s Monday and I’m back with the Holiday Card Series 2018 – Day 4.  I’m so excited to share with you an easy technique to produce really great cards.  No stamping required for this one and it’s easy to mass product.

For my card today I’m using foil, scor-tape and a large graphic die cut to make quick, fast and a hurry cards.  You can pull out any color foil for this project and any width scor-tape.  The design concept is easy to follow and you can change it up anyway you want.

 

Pairing the foil with a light sheet of vellum tones down the harshness and adding glitter paper for the sentiment really makes this card stand out.

 

Here’s a quick tutorial.  You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.  I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you’ve missed Days 1-3 you can find it here on my Holiday Card Series 2018 playlist.. See you back here tomorrow for the 25 Days of Christmas tags blog hop.

Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine c Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine cards. In today's tutorial I made a trio of valentine cards from one background. This was so easy and so much fun to make. Where are my Distress Oxide Spray lovers?

With three colors of @tim_holtz Distress Oxide Sprays these cards were created. I don't have all the sprays and are "collecting" them little by little. The fear of using these sprays have been unleashed. 😂😂😂 After watching more and more videos from Tim, my nervousness of "messing it up" has been replaced by "oh that's so pretty". 

By using just two die cuts from products from the January 2023 release from @heroarts

The link for the tutorial is in the bio and I hope I inspire you to start creating your Valentine's Day Cards.
