Fun with Foil

Hello, Ribbon Friends! I had a fun time playing with foiling over the weekend, and I wanted to share one of the results with you! 

The type of foiling I used for my card is called "transfer foil" and is accomplished by first heat embossing the sentiment with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. Once the sentiment was embossed, I placed a sheet of foil over the top of the cardstock and passed the "sandwich" through a hot laminating machine. Presto! Chango! A foiled sentiment! 

Because the foil is so shiny, it is very hard to get a good photograph! If you are familiar with heat embossing with gold powder, you will be able to see that the foil is quite a bit smoother and shinier than embossing powder. 

To make sure I was keeping the shine going, I used Glitz Ribbon and Metallic String to finish off the card. The card is a standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" made from black cardstock. I lined the inside with white cardstock to give a place to stamp or write a message. 

I wrapped a piece of the purple Glitz Ribbon around the bottom of the card and added a loopy bow made from the gold Metallic String to the left edge. I created a flower cluster with some purple, blue, and yellow flowers.

I placed a few glitter enamel dots around here and there. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

For My Friend Card

 Hello Crafty friends and Happy Friday to you all! Today's card was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon using their beautiful flowers & Ribbon. Love using all the different flowers and clustering them all together. 

To start with I chose my card base to be 6" x 6" and then layered all my design paper layers on top. This one has a total of 3 design paper layers starting with the base one measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" then the design paper measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4", next floral layer measures 4 3/4" x 4 3/4' , the little striped layer measures 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" card stock pink, then striped design paper measures 5 1/4" x 3",  I always do 1/4" differences on my layers. so base will be the biggest and then design paper 1/4" smaller. Next I added my zig zag sewing, kept it simple lately. 

for the sentiment layer, I chose 4 layers on that starting with the white doily, and then the cheerylynn shapes, and lastly added my sentiment from Close to my Heart stamps set Curly Sentiments C1056 stamped in black ink.  The butterfly is a K & Company embellishment.

Christmas tag

Nest I stamped my sentiment on the oval frame using black ink, and then hot glued the flowers, and bead berry sprays. My bows were done using the Taffeta and Satin, tied together using the stem from the flowers. I love using those to tie my bows. Lastly I added some bakers twine to tie onto my package.

Love's Greeting

Welcome by today, everyone.  I'm so happy you've stopped by to take a peek at this sweet card I made using some FUN products from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  It's always fun to create cards using the wonderful ribbons, flowers, and products from Really Reasonable Ribbon because I'm always sure to find the perfect colors of EVERYTHING I need.  That includes all the ribbons and trims you can imagine and SO much more.

I used a white cardstock base and layered that with a blue cardstock and some fun patterned papers.  I secured the papers together using Scor-Tape, and then did some machine stitching.  The focal point is a piece of ephemera from my stash, and I laid that on top of a die-cut doily.  I also attached an actual vintage dairy ticket from a booklet of them that I picked up at an antique store, and I placed a Tim Holtz mini rusty paper clip on it.  I hot glued three white vintage buttons on the left.

The floral cluster at the bottom right includes some bundled up Natural Burlap String that I topped with some Mixed Colors Cosmo Daisies, Green Mulberry Leaves and a length of Misty Turquoise Gingham Ribbon.  I can't think of any shade of any color of ANYTHING you can't find at RRR.

Oh....I can't forget to mention the pretty Deep Lake Blue Double Head Stamens I tucked in there.  Oh, my!  I absolutely LOVE Double Head Stamens.  They're yet another item that comes in oodles of gorgeous colors to match any and every project.  They're such a soft, sweet touch to add to any card.  I know I mention Double Head Stamens a lot, but they really are awesome and super reasonably priced.

Thanks again for stopping by.  I hope you'll visit the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog often.  You won't want to miss out on any of the fabulous inspiration you'll find from here my talented teammates.  And....you'll always be the first to know about special sales and promotions.  We always enjoy your visits, and hope you're having lots of fun in your craft room.  Really Reasonable Ribbon is always here for you when you need ribbons, trims, twines, laces, inspiration and more.

Blessings,

Karen
