Hello crafty friends!
Today I, Ellen, like sharing a set of bright and cheerful spring cards featuring lots of foiling and dimension. I love how foil instantly adds shine and interest to a card, and combining different foils and patterns makes the backgrounds really come to life!
For these cards I created three different spring scenes and used several Therm O Web and Gina K. Designs foiling products to build colorful, layered backgrounds.
To begin, I applied Fuse Foiling Gel through a stencil onto my card panels. I used a Deco Foil Stencil Pal to spread a thin, even layer across the stencil openings.
Once the gel was applied, I carefully removed the stencil and set the panels aside to dry completely. When the panels are dry, the gel is clear and it leaves a slightly raised surface that will grab the foil beautifully.
ps. Clean the stencils immediately, I use an old toothbrush and warm water.
After the gel dried, it was time for the fun part—foiling!
I placed different Deco Foil Transfer Sheets over the gel areas and ran the panels through my laminator.
For these backgrounds I used:
Each foil created a gorgeous a matte but still shiny background that already felt very spring-like and vibrant.
To add even more detail and texture, I used Gina K. Designs Poly-Glaze Foiling Sheets – Tiny Dots. These sheets add a subtle dotted pattern that looks amazing when foiled.
I applied three different foils over the Tiny Dots sheets:
The combination of colors and the dotted pattern gives the words a playful, lively look that works perfectly with spring-themed cards.
Once the backgrounds were finished, I created my little spring scenes with layered die cuts. I added lots of elements to bring the card to life. On this lavender card you can see flowers and a cute hen with her chick. To add everything on my card I used:
Foiling is such a fun way to add shine and texture to your cards. By combining Fuse Foiling Gel, Deco Foil Transfer Sheets, and Poly-Glaze Foiling Sheets, you can easily create unique backgrounds full of color and interest.
I love how these three cards turned out—bright, happy, and perfect for celebrating spring!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope this inspires you to play with foils and create your own sparkling spring projects.
Happy crafting!
