Beach themed cards with Deco Foil Hot Foils

Hello Therm-O-Web friends. Shemaine here today sharing some inspiration using our new Deco Foil Hot Foils. Have you seen the rainbow of colors available on our website? So many beautiful colors!

Hot foiling is not as hard as you think. You just need a hot foiling machine and some hot foil dies. I am using products from my personal stash from Spellbinders.

To start my card, I hot-foiled this month’s Spellbinders Glimmer/Hot Foil Die Set Sending Waves. I used our Aqua Sky Hot Foil on the cardstock. Isn’t the color beautiful on the light blue cardstock?

I foiled another wave on a darker shade of blue cardstock to contrast. Then I adhered them to my cardstock with our XL Tape Runner.

Next I hot foiled the sentiment right on the white card base.

Using our 3D Tape Runner I adhered the wave onto the card stock below the sentiment and then used our 3D foam square to lift the wave off the card base a little.

Next using this month’s small die club “Dancin Octopus and Friends, I die cut my dies and assembled.

Using the Ultra Bond liquid adhesive, I adhere the star dies together.

To assemble the card, I just added the die cuts with our foam squares. I positioned the octopus between the waves and had him holding one of the starfish. So cute right?

The Hot Foil really gives the finished card a letterpress look.

For the second beach-themed card, I used the same waves but this time I hot-foiled them in Gold Stardust.

Using a stencil from Newton’s Nook and some Gina K yellow inks I created some sunshine to backdrop the die-cut waves. Then I shaded the bottom with brown ink to look like sand.

Using our Ultra Bond Liquid Adhesive, I adhere the die cut to the cardstock.

Using another stencil I created some sand pebbles on the sand.

Using our Ultra Bond Liquid Adhesive I adhered all the die cuts for my beach babe.

And then I adhered all the cuts to the cardbase.

The result is a fun beach-themed Hello for someone who loves the beach! I decided to add some birds to the finished card from the Gina K release Tropical Sunshine.
