Another card share made with the foil machine

Hi Friends

This time I am sharing another card made yet, with my new foiling machine.  This card was made for a friend in California.  She told me she loved it.  So here it is for you to enjoy with a little recipe for it.  Remember if you have any questions please do ask in the comment box and I will make sure to reply it on my next blog.

This card was so much fun to make.  I picked up my color theme first which was white and pink  plus a nice lined pattern paper.  Then I had to experiment on a thought.  I actually picked a cupcake from a peel off sheet I had with me and scanned it on a transparent sheet to my image software (Paint Shop Pro), then I made sure it was black before I would size it to desired size.  So far pretty easy, then I printed it on pink matching paper to then foil it through the machine with gold foil.  I did the same for the frame.  Next step was to add some glitter to the matting exterior of the card with some Frosted Lace Stickles. I also did that on the cupcake itself after I had cut around the design and added a white back to the cupcake to make it stand out more.  I then added some white flocking to the middle flower let it dry and added the cupcake to the card and that was that!

Here is another view of the foil effect on the card I also added some peel off Happy Birthday sticker inside the frame as you can see.

I hope you can see the very classy look this does to a card.  You can also add less or more.

My next card I will share is fully covered as I wanted to try one extreme because I try the not so much gold effect on a card.  You know, you always have the choice on how much you can add and little also goes a long way with cards.  It just depends on the theme and if you want to add die cuts to your card then you open another fun world of possibilities.

I am slowly getting to know my new machine.  So come back to see what else I have experimented on and as soon as I can understand how to add a video to this blog I will show you how I do it.

Until next blog

Have a fun day and don't ever be afraid to try new things.  It opens up more fun techniques to add to your repertoire of card making ideas.
