Foil it’s! A new obsession

 I’ve done some foiling with my laminator before and been pretty successful. Especially after I learned to turn it on a good 20-30 min before I needed it so it could warm up and began using the thermoweb carrier sheets. Pink & main did a foiling class during Crop & Create and I ended up breaking my laminator, so with the discount code, it was a great time to invest in a mini minc! I also loved the Taylored expressions Cake Walk layered stencils and dies from the event and when they showed foil its to match I was sold! I ordered a lot of them.

So when I received my new minc and the foil its from Taylored Expressions, off I went to foil! Wow, it works so much better than a laminator. Then I went a bit crazy making all these cards! Each stencil has the components for 3 cards, so I must have foiled 6 panels and stenciled. These are absolutely gorgeous in person. I mixed up the backgrounds a bit. Some are embossing folders with gold or silver pigment ink on top, some are embossing folders with mica sprays, and some are plain embossing folders. The sentiments are other foil its from Taylored Expressions that I ordered with their birthday release.

 My first cardmaking event was last year, September 2022 and it blew me away and I have not missed one since. The next one is coming up at the end of September so I thought I better wrap up the bonus classes from last year! These were over and above what I thought I was signing up for so I haven’t really had a chance to finish them. I learned some fun techniques from these extra classes and I can’t wait til the next one.

 I was inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video to make these cards.  https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2023/07/must-try-4-for-1-card-technique-a-favorite-free-gift.html  I used an altenew stencil and Gina K dies, stamps, and embossing folders. Using the layered stencils this way gives such a different look than making just one card front at a time. I had a few Pinkfresh studio foiled butterflies leftover from another project I added for accents.
