Stencil Foiling

By KariV on August 10, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some stencil foiling…with a stencil mask and through a stencil! It’s a fun technique and I hope you’ll stop by to watch my video:

I’m using products from Miss Ink stamps. I had a couple extra flamingos already colored up from a previous project so that inspired my card today!

I started out with the foiling process, using Decofoil Gel duo through my stencil (but adding that mask first!) You really need to see my video to see what I am talking about! Lol.

Once the gel was set aside to dry, I turned my attention to the magnolia flowers. These are gorgeous and easy to put together! (which I really appreciate in a flower die cut). I colored them up with Cool Grey Copic markers to add shadows and shading.

Once the gel was dry, I added pink foil and ran it through my mini minc machine. After the foil was done, I could add some ink to that quatrefoil design using the stencil once again! I love this set…so many possibilities. There is also a frame stencil in the set, which I didn’t use this time.

This is a super fun technique and I couldn’t resist making two panels… which turned into two completed cards!

The sentiments are from the Sunshine and Rainbows stamp set, another absolute FAVORITE set, because it has so many great sentiments. I reach for this one again and again.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I always enjoy a little foiling and it’s been a while, so this was a fun one for me! Thanks for stopping by!

Foiling with White Foil

By KariV on January 13, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a set of cards and a video Foiling with White Foil. This is a fun technique and I’m using the cutest penguins from Miss Ink Stamps.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For this first card I used DecoFoil Gel Duo through the Frosty Flakes stencil from Miss Ink Stamps. I allowed it to completely dry before foiling it with WHITE foil. Then I inked on some color….the foil resists the ink!

The next card I used some rainbow foil, and since I had a beautiful negative piece of rainbow foil that I was able to use on some toner paper. Then I used some white foil with the Double Foil Technique to make the background white again. This is such a fun technique and so easy…Watch the video to see all the details!

I couldn’t resist making those penguins dance on a table! Lol.

I hope you enjoyed these cards today! See you soon with more cards!

Foiling and Angry Birds

By KariV on January 6, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Happy New Year! I’m back with my first video and card share of the New Year. I hope your holidays were delightful and not nearly as cold as it is for these Angry Birds cards I am sharing today.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For these cards, I started with some Toner Card fronts from Whimsy Stamps. I used some aqua DecoFoil to foil this snowflake background…then I saved the leftover foil to make the second card background.

I think these birds are so funny (but don’t they look cold…brrr)! There is another fun image in this stamp set also, so go and check it out. I have the supplies listed below.

I hope you enjoyed the foiling and these card projects today! It’s been chilly here, but not cold enough for snow (we rarely get snow here in Arizona). How about where you are? See you soon with more cards to share!

Spot Foiling Cards

By KariV on January 28, 2023 in Holidays, Paper Crafting, Valentines

Hello! Today I’m sharing some fun cards using Spot Foiling. Since it’s a new year, I thought it was time to bring Alice back for some cardmaking, too! So, I’ve combined the two and created TWO cards to share with you.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I think the Alice Collection might be my all-time favorite stamp collection in all my stamps! I hope you are not tired of seeing her yet in my creations.

Here, I masked off Alice and the tea cups before stamping that large mushroom: this makes it look like they are sitting right on top! Then I colored and fussy cut out the whole image.

I think she looks great with those foiled pink tea cups in the background!

For my second card, I used the Ins and Outs Bohemian stencil to mask off the center portion before adding the tea cups and foiling. This made a nice spot to stamp that gnome.

I just love a little red and pink ink this time of year! For both cards I used Saltwater Taffy Distress Ink as the base color….it looks beautiful with both PINK and RED foil.
