Foiled Birthday Card Set - JB dt

 

Happy Monday my crafty friends!! 

I have been inspired recently to organize and clean up my craft 

space and I stumbled upon my foils and it inspired me to get them out and play.

I decided to create a few foiled backgrounds and those backgrounds inspired this set of 

simple birthday cards.

I used the following Jaded Blossom products on my cards -

Polka Dot Stencil

Confetti Stencil

Birthday Word Dies

Sentiment Strip Dies

Happy Hello

Rectangle Dies 1

Here are some close ups of the cards -

I don't own any fancy equipment - I just used Decofoil transfer gel duo, 

some foil sheets and a laminator I bought from Costco.

I don't always get a perfect product but as you can see

from my cards I do get decent results most of the time.

For the word dies I used some Decofoil toner sheets

and cut out a small amount, foiled it first and then cut out with the 

word dies.  I layered the word dies with an extra background in a different color

to help the word stand out from the background better.

I also glued 3 layers of the sentiment strip together to lift the word "happy" 

off the background.

I am pleased with the results and hope I have inspired you to play with some 

of the crafty goodies you may be hoarding too ;)

Thanks for stopping by today!!
