Deco Foiling Vellum Paper

Hello, Therm O Web friends! Shemaine here today with three ways to creatively use Deco Foil Transfer Sheets: with Easy-Cut Adhesive Sheets; with laser-printed vellum; and with Gina K. Designs Poly-Glaze Foiling Sheets. Plus, we’re adding Deco Foil Plush Paper for texture.

For today’s cards, I started by laser printing a butterfly background onto 100lb vellum paper. For my tutorial on how to laser print with stamped images, click HERE. Next, I foiled the background with a Deco Foil Mystic Rainbow Transfer Sheet and my Gina K. Designs Fuse Foiling System.

The result is so pretty!

Next, I die cut the vellum and a piece of white cardstock with a large arch die and adhered them together with my XL Tape Runner.

Next, I cut a white cardstock panel slightly smaller than my card front and used a smaller arch die to die cut a window opening. I adhered the butterfly arch behind the window opening with the XL Runner. I added a panel of pale aqua cardstock to the card front and then I adhered the butterfly layer to the card front with Gina K. Designs Foam Squares for dimension. I die cut some butterfly embellishments from our Plush Paper in Teal Waters and Think Pink.

One of my favorite things to do with my die-cut sentiments is use some Easy-Cut Adhesive to foil them. I start by layering the adhesive sheets over the top and bottom of a sheet of white craft foam. I peel away the top liner from the adhesive and place the Glimmering Gold Fancy Foil over it and smooth it all over. Then I die cut my sentiment with the foiled side facing up.

Next, I die cut the shadow layer from white cardstock. Finally, I peel off the bottom Easy-Cut liner and stick the foiled foam sentiment to the shadow layer to make it pop. Putting Easy-Cut Adhesive on the back of anything you die cut essentially turns it into a sticker. So easy!

Then I adhere the sentiment in the center of the card, add my butterfly embellishments, and cut the bodies out of the same Glimmering Gold foiled foam. I also layer the same die cut with vellum paper to add dimension. I finished the center with a few gold pearls.

I felt that the white base looked too plain, so I cut another arch into a thin strip and layered.

I think the pink die-cut arch finishes the card nicely.

For the second card, I used the Gina K. Designs Poly-Glaze Amethyst Edition Starter Pack that came with the Fuse Foiling System and the Twinkling Pink Fancy Foil.

Then I used the negative die-cut pieces from my first card and embossed the white arch die cut. I layered the Poly-Glaze panel and pink cardstock arch onto my card base with my XL Tape Runner. I adhered the embossed white arch with Gina K. Designs Foam Squares.

I foiled the same sentiment with the Easy-Cut Adhesive in the Twinkling Pink Fancy Foil.

I die cut the sentiment shadow layer from pink cardstock and adhered the foam sentiment to it before adhering to the embossed arch.

I finished the card with more die-cut butterfly embellishments, which makes my 80’s hot-pink-loving heart happy!

Now, I have two fun cards to mail to my husband’s stepmother who is now in an assisted living center. I have been making a point to mail her a card a week after her daughter told me how much she looks forward to checking her mail.
