Hello again! Today we are taking a look back at the November release from Our Daily Bread Designs and I have some foiled ornament cards to share!
This November release was amazing, with poinsettias and ornament dies that I absolutely love. I have three projects to share with you today, all using foil!
For this one, I cut the Retro Ornament dies using red foil paper. Aren’t those ornament designs just dreamy? I used paper from the Christmas Collection 2018 paper pad. The holly leaves are from the new Christmas Bells set. The JOY sentiment comes from the new Holiday Words dies.
This next card is a larger size card that fits into a #10 business envelope. It measures 9″ x 3 3/4″ and really works well for all these ornaments! I cut two with silver foil paper as the inside, and three with gold foil paper as the inside. I then used thread in both silver and gold to use as the hangers for these ornaments.
Foiled cards are notoriously difficult to photograph, so you will have to remember they are silver and gold! In real life this is just stunning! Around the edges, I used gold embossing powder. To finish it all off, silver glitter tape along the bottom and the Merry Christmas sentiment (from this set here).
The last card I have today, is a poinsettia from the Merry Christmas set that has been foiled in teal foil, using a Minc Machine to add the foil. It is so fun to add some fun foil touches to cards! For this card, I stamped the poinsettia image, colored it with copics, then restamped it using clear embossing powder. (To re-stamp it in exactly the same place, I used the MISTI.) Then I heat set that embossing powder with my heat gun, added teal foil to the top, and ran it through my Minc. You could also use a laminator.
I found that in order to have the foil stay nice and thin on the lines, I changed the setting to a “1” on the Minc and added a piece of cardstock to the top of the foil before running it through.
I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I really love the look of foil, especially this time of year!
