Green Shamrocks

Today I'm playing at Festive Friday where this time it's all about St. Patrick's Day! I love that there is so much to choose from this year! I'm not Irish but you know I love to celebrate!
My card starts with a Foilable Green Shamrocks panel from Pik & Main! I used Leafy Green Cheerfoil and let me tell you this panel is all about the shine! Some day I'm going to figure out how to get a better photo where the foil doesn't look black! The package includes both negative and positive prints so you can decide on the amount of foil you want on your design.

I topped the panel with some stacked Flag Banners and Circles and finally a stamped Sentiment. The gold with the foiled panel is really gorgeous!
The finishing touch is a pretty stacked shamrock with a green jewel center! The new Horseshoe die set includes a horseshoe and different size shamrocks that you can stack. The stems are separate cuts so you can decide if you want to use them or not.

I hope you find time to celebrate the little things!

Warm Winter Wishes

Today I'm playing at the Neglected Stuff Challenge and the item I feel is most neglected in my craft room at the moment is my foil laminator. I'll be honest.. I never had much luck with the Spellbinders Glimmer machine.. I cringe at the amount of paper I've thrown away at 50 cents a sheet. And while alot of it would be "passable" in the real world.. when you're taking close ups like me and you're looking through a zoom lens you really see all the flaws. That kind of turned me off foiling.
The solution for me is the Pink and Main Minc machine. With this process you use preprinted toner sheets called Foilables, and you laminate them with your choice of Cheerfoil colors and let me tell you there are ALOT! This system even works well with toner sheets you create yourself using a laser printer. These are perfect every time and totally flawless. The only problem here? Trying to photograph the shiny foil so that it doesn't look black! I guess you can't win them all!
These Foilable sheets are printed in color and I just added a Translucent Opal foil to them so the color still shows through. For this card I used a snowflake panel and added gems to all the snowflake centers.
The Foilable pack I used is called Winter Spotlight Sayings. You can use the coordinating die set to cut out the sentiments and/or the individual snowflakes. I used the snowflake panel as a background for my design. You can see the photography issues below.

I want you to see all that shine, but when it's too shiny you get alot of glare.. so I'm still neglecting my foil on my blog. But not because it's not working, but because i need to sort out my photography!
I hope you're keeping warm and maybe it's a good day to try using something you've been neglecting too!

You Are AMAZING !

Today I'm playing along at A Place To Start. It's a new year and they're kicking things off with RAINBOWS! You don't have to add an actual rainbow.. just use rainbow colors if you like.
This is a clean looking card with lots of great details. I started with the You Are Foilable Panel from Pink and Main and laminated it with Starry Rainbow Cheerfoil. Can you see all the little stars?
I made a medal from a Foilable circle from the Ball Cap pack. The ribbons are made from sentiment strips cut from gold and gold glitter paper. The finishing touch is a sprinkle of gold gems.
Hands down the Minc foiling machine is my favorite way to foil. It is clean and seamless and I never have to do more than one sheet. You can use the negative side with a toner sheet, and you can even make your own custom panels if you have a laser printer.
I hope you find some time to play

Quick Foil Christmas Cards

If you love bling this post is for you! Today I'm sharing a pair of cards made with the Pink & Main "Home For Christmas" Foilables.

I've tried different hot foil methods and this is my favorite because it's a no fail technique. Additionally, if you have a toner printer you can make your own custom foilable pieces. The Pink & Main Foilable sheets are just toner printed on semi gloss paper. When topped with the Cheerfoil of your choice and run through the Minc laminator the results are flawless. I've never had a single panel that was missing pieces.
And if you have your own toner printer (I bought one on Amazon for a little over $100) you can print your own foilable sheets. I love all the choices of foil colors and patterns available.

My cards today are topped with sentiments from the Pink & Main "Hand Lettered Holiday Greetings" package. The pack has A WHOLE LOT of different sentiments for holiday designs.

I added the sentiments with adhesive foam tape so they are raised from the flat background making them look a little fussier. The finishing touch on just the white background panel was a sprinkle of red gems.

I'm linking to the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown where this time they're looking for QUICK cards!
