Hi folks, Kavya here. If there is any such thing as a Crafting God, they are definitely on my side this week. I finally bit the bullet and jumped on the foiling train. I didn’t get a chance to foil much as I only had one one plate but I am already in love with the results. When I realized I was assigned a project with the Bursting Hearts plate, I knew it would be perfect for foiling and I am so glad my machine arrived just in time!
Bear in mind that this is my first full fledged attempt at foiling so there were a bunch of mistakes but I think that’s the beauty of cardmaking… there is no right or wrong. Just happy mistakes :) I first started off by foiling the Bursting Hearts die on some purple cardstock. Follow the instructions for a normal foiling plate but just use some parchment between the die and the foil to get better/thicker lines :)
You will notice some overfoiling in the edges. I later learned that you can get rid of this by using a sand eraser but I didn’t have one at hand so I decided to leave it as is! I liked the extra foil. Kinda gives it a distressed look. To make it more cohesive, I ink blended the edges and splattered some gold and white paint to make it more ‘distressy’. Then, I just adhered some hearts cut out of shades of pink and mustard cardstock to create a frame for the sentiment. Finally, I added a sentiment from Lovey Dovey to finish off my card :)
I hope this inspires
you to try out foiling with the bursting hearts die! Happy crafting!
Hello everyone! Isha here with a cute pastel theme card featuring the Bursting Hearts die. I really love the cascading hearts on this die and wanted to keep the card soft.
To start, I die-cut the white panel using the Bursting Hearts die. I then took another white mat layer, applied kitsch flamingo, squeezed lemonade, salvaged patina distress oxide ink to create the background. Adhere the heart panel to this sponged panel and now adhere this to a gray cardbase.
Stamp the
birdies from the Little Birdie stamp,
color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp
and emboss the banner using white embossing powder, sponge using kitsch
flamingo ink and die-cut.
Stamp "Birthday Wishes" inside it using the Candy Shoppe stamp set. Stamp the word SWEET, die-cut using the coordinating die. Die-cut once more using the pink cardstock and stack it behind the sentiment.
Die-cut the big
leaf in white and two smaller leaves from vellum using the Spring Greenery dies.
Color the vellum leaves in green. Assemble everything onto the card using 3d
foam for added dimension.
Thank you for
dropping by and have a nice day!
