Birthday Pocket Card Tutorial

Step 1. Create a pocket using the largest label die from the Gina K. Designs Decorative Label Set to cut the Happy Birthday Foil-Mates sentiment from the Birthday Bash pack and run it through your die cutting machine. Use purple tape to secure the die in place. Try not to center the die on the sentiment, instead place it a little higher. That way you will be able to cut off the top part of the label and make it look like a pocket.

Step 2. Cover the die cut with a Gold Sequins Fancy Foil Transfer Sheet, wrap it around a folded piece of Parchment Paper and run it through a Laminator. Peel off the foil transfer sheet to reveal the sparkly foiled sentiment.

Step 3. Use a paper trimmer to cut the top half of the Decorative Label.

Step 4. Add a stitched detail to the Decorative Labe with a fine point marker.

Step 5. Next, cut a 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″ panel from a Where’s The Party Foil-Mates Background. Foil the panel with Gold Sequins Fancy Foil, just as you did for the Decorative Label on step 2.

Step 6. Cut the panel diagonally and sponge it with Turquoise Sea Premium Dye Ink.

Step 7. Attach the inked piece to a 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″ patterned paper panel using XL Tape Runner.

Step 8. Adhere the Decorative Label pocket to the card panel using 3D zots.

Step 9. Use the Time to Celebrate Die Set to cut some embellishments from the coordinating Foil-Mates Detail Sheet. Just place each die on the coordinating image and secure with Purple Tape to then be able to run the sheet through your die cutting machine.

Step 10. Stamp all the die cut embellishments using the coordinating Time to Celebrate clear Stamp Set and Premium Dye Inks to add color to each piece. Next, repeat step 2, to foil all the die cut embellishments.

Step 11. Attach all the Stamp’nFoil die cuts to the card panel using 3D Zots and XL Tape Runner, sliding each piece inside the Decorative Label pocket.

Step 12. Adhere the background to a white card base using XL Tape Runner.

Embellish a Mini Gift Bag with Fancy Foils and Foil-Mates

Step 13. Cover a piece of white cardstock with iCraft Easy-Cut Adhesive and cut a fun balloon shape using your electronic cutting machine.

Step 14. Peel off the backing from the Easy-Cut Adhesive on the balloon cut and cover it with a Gold Sequins Fancy Foil sheet. Press smoothly and remove the Fancy Foil carrier sheet to reveal the foiled piece.

Step 15. Use the largest label die from the Decorate Labels Set to cut the new coordinating Label Borders. Use Purple Tape to hold the die in place.

Step 16. Cover the Decorative Label die cut with Gold Sequins Fancy Foil and run it through the laminator for a sparkly foiled finish.

Optional: Cut a matting balloon shape in a slightly smaller size from patterned paper.

Step 17. Foil another Foil-Mates sentiment from the Birthday Bash pack using a Turquoise Sea Fancy Foil Transfer Sheet and cut it with a Single Stitch Design Oval Die using your die cutting machine.

Step 18. Die cut a matting oval from the same inked Foil-Mates Background used on step 6, using the Double Stitch Design set.

Step 19. Attach all the balloon and label cuts to the front of a small gift bag using Deco Foil Foam Adhesive sheets cut into pieces.

As an optional step, you may add more embellishments to your card such as sequins or enamel dots. TIP: Mixed Media Adhesive works perfectly with sequins!
