Hello! It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is in just one month! There are a whole BUNCH of
ThermOWeb products that would make quick and easy school-themed Valentines. Today I decided to use
Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets as well as
Deco Foil Transfer Sheets!

My son is four, so when I think of school-themed Valentines I think of bright colors. And that means crayons! And rainbows! Haha! I decided to go back to basics and use the original six colors of
Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets for my rainbow of Valentines. When I work with the
Flock Transfer Sheets I like to first transfer them onto pieces of cardstock.
I cut down six pieces of cardstock and covered each of them with a piece of an
iCraft 6x6 Easy Cut Adhesive Sheet. Then I cut down a piece of each of the six
Deco Foil Flock colors -
Think Pink,
Orange Glow,
Sunshine Yellow,
Green Envy,
Blue Diamond, and
Purple Punch - to be a bit larger than the cardstock pieces. To transfer the
Flock Transfer Sheets onto the cardstock I peeled back the adhesive and placed the
Flock Transfer Sheets face down into the adhesive. Then I ran each of them through my die cutting machine to really press the
Flock Transfer Sheets into the adhesive, peeled away the backer sheet, and I have a whole rainbow of
Deco Foil Flock covered cardstock pieces!
The
Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets have so much texture, but I decided to add a bit more using an embossing folder. You can use the
Flock Transfer Sheets with embossing folders just like you would with regular cardstock! I used the Taylored Expressions Cross Stitch Embossing Folder on each of the six backgrounds - but I still needed more! Haha! I used coordinating colors of Distress Inks to lightly add a little ink after I embossed the backgrounds. The raised portions of the
Deco Foil Flock backgrounds pick up the ink and the embossing really pops off the page!
I die cut some stitched rectangles from heavyweight cardstock and stamped my sentiment and images from the Lawn Fawn Color My World stamp set. I colored them with alcohol markers to match the
Deco Foil Flock backgrounds. I was going to assemble my cards with just the
Deco Foil Flock backgrounds and colored panels, but again .... they needed just a little something more. Something shiny, of course!
I added some
Deco Foil Transfer Sheets and totally cheated so that I wouldn't waste a lot of foil. I only wanted a small border around my colored panel, so I outlined the second piece of cardstock with
1/4" Gina K Designs Terrific Tape and added foil to that. The
Deco Foil is only around the edges instead of covering the whole layered cardstock piece. I chose coordinating colors of
Deco Foil Transfer Sheets -
Purple,
Deep Blue,
Spring Green, and
Gold. I found the closest matches to the pink and orange with
Sweet Mango and
Passionate Pink Gina K Designs Fancy Foil.
I adhered all of my pieces together with
iCraft Ultra Bond Liquid Adhesive. I know this adhesive will hold strong to the
Deco Foil Transfer Sheets as well as the
Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets. I hope you love this rainbow of quick school Valentines! See you soon!
