Festive Labels Holiday Gift Set with Gina K Designs Instructions:

Adding shiny foil to your paper crafting projects is so easy with GinaK Designs Foil-Mates designs. To begin, select a background pattern from the Blizzard Foil-Mates set. Cut the sheet in half, and set one of the halves aside for another project. Turn on your laminator and let it come to temperature while you work on the next step. Trim a sheet of Fancy Foil that is slightly larger than the Foil-Mate. I am using Red Velvet Fancy Foil today, and beautiful red color for the holiday season. Fold a large piece of parchment paper in half. Open the parchment, and place a piece of scrap cardstock between the folds. Then place the Foil-Mate panel onto the cardstock, with the toner pattern face up. Finally, lay the Fancy Foil onto the Foil-Mate, with the colored side up and the silver side down. Close the parchment. Run this parchment sandwich through your laminator machine. Then simply peel off the foil to reveal the beautifully foiled design. While the laminator machine is still on, let's go ahead and foil some sentiment labels. I chose the Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas designs from the Festive Labels Foil-Mates set for my card and tag sentiments. Using the matching label die from the Decorative Label Die Set, die cut the sentiments from the sheet. A piece of Therm O Web Purple Tape will hold the die perfectly in place while cutting. Cover the die cut labels with the Red Velvet Fancy Foil, and run them through your laminator using the same sandwich as above. Repeat the process for the second label. Cut the Blizzard background panel in half. Layer one half of the panel onto a card base, that has been covered in patterned paper. Trim some additional patterned paper strips to use as borders and flag banners, and adhere them to the card. Die cut a pair of circles from patterned paper and Therm O Web/Gina K Designs Luxury White cardstock to use as the focal panel. Edge all the paper pieces with brown ink using an ink blending tool if you like a slightly vintage look like I do. Adhere a die cut accent to the center of the cardstock circle, and pop the circle onto the card using 3D Foam Squares for dimension. Round the bottom corners of the second half of the Blizzard Foil-Mates to act as a tag base. Snip off the top corners at an angle, and then ink all the edges. Add die cut and sticker accents to the tag, repeating some of the same elements used in the card design. Add the second foiled sentiment label across the bottom of the tag. Punch a hole in the top of the tag, and thread it with a bit of Gina K Designs White Satin Fancy Ribbon. Enjoy!
