Reverse Foiling Graduation Card

 


Hello everyone! Jill here today sharing a fun graduation card!


I don’t know about you, but I always like to have a few graduation cards in my stash. Otherwise, it seems like whenever I need one, I never have one ready!


For this card, I used both toner foiling and reverse foiling to really maximize my Deco Foil. I don’t like to let any of that precious foil go to waste!


Supplies needed:

  • Deco Foil Transfer Sheets 6 in x 6 in (12 sheets) - Gold Sparkle
  • POLY-GLAZE Foiling Sheets- Super Star
  • Deco Foil Toner Card Fronts - Solid Black

I started by taking some Gold Deco Foil and using it with the **Super Star PolyGlaze Foiling Sheets**. This created the shiny, starry background for my card panel.


Next, I grabbed a sheet of **Black Toner Card Fronts** and used the leftover foil from Step 1 to create a reverse foiled background. This is one of my favorite techniques because it allows me to use almost every bit of foil!


I pulled a graduation die set from my stash and used the reverse foiled sheet to create the main sentiment. The gold foil really makes the sentiment stand out against the black background.


I assembled all of the pieces to finish the card, adding just the right amount of shine and dimension.






I love how polished the final result turned out! The combination of the black and gold foil makes this card feel extra special and perfect for celebrating such a momentous graduation milestone.


Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy crafting!

[Oceans of Joy] Multi-Occasion Card

I am still building my cardmaking collection, and it is SO easy to get into the blackhole of buying endless craft supplies. I really need to stop myself. I came across this adorable ocean themed stamp set,  Oceans of Joy , from Sunny Studio Stamps! Head on over to my Instagram to see a reel on how I made this card!     I wanted to create a fun wavey background so I took some scrap cardstock and cut a "wave" pattern and used it as my stencil with a blending sponge and my Stampin' Up spot inks. I LOVE how it turned out. I wanted to add more texture so I purposefully blended with differing pressures to get some texture in the background. I can't wait to make and use more stencils in my cardmaking. I stamped the sentiment, whale, crab, and water images using my misty on some textured white cardstock and colored in using my Prismacolor colored pencils. In hindsight, I wish I had used a smooth white cardstock instead, as it makes the coloring look a little messier than I...

[Hello Beautiful] Patterned Paper Series #1

 Okay, I will admit I am a girly girl. and this card made me all kinds of happy. I came across this freebie from  All Dressed Up Stamps  and immediately had so many ideas. I first gravitated towards a solid cardstock as my mounting base but then decided to have some fun with patterned cardstock. I have lots of patterns but find myself being too afraid to mix and match patterns. Hence, explaining the origin of  my "Patterned Paper Series." I colored in the digital image using alcohol markers on white cardstock. I had a patterned paperpad from Recollections called "Get Glam" and used one of the "hello beautiful" sentiments that was already printed on the paper. I attached it with some foam squares to give a little added dimension. Easy right?! I mounted it on a hot pink cardstock and then mounted the whole set on a white and black polka dot cardstock from the same paperpad. Not only do I love using patterned paper as a background, but I also like using it fo...

[Good Luck Critters Rainbow] Time for Tea Designs

Hey all! I'm here sharing another card featuring the Time for Tea Designs "Good Luck Critters" stampset. I first used the "Rounded Rectangle" die set to cut one panel in white cardstock and one in red. I ink blended the white cardstock with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Oxide around the edges. I added some blue splatters for added interest. I cut in the rainbow and cat image from the stampset and colored in with alcohol markers and finished it off with a sentiment Thanks for stopping by!
