Hi!
I love summer!!! It is my favorite time of year because it means being able to hang outside and have lots and lots of summer fun with friends and family. I also love making summer cards for our little parties and get-togethers!
Foiling with Stamps {and Pineapples} Gina K. Style!
For these cards, I stamped them with Versamark watermark ink, heat embossed them and then added foil! Easy peasy (and super fun)!

I created a video, sharing how incredibly easy it to make cards using stamps and foil!
Don’t forget to test out your stamps first, before guessing that the foil will work. I have found that the best stamps that work are thinner designs, but in the video, these thick pineapples work well, too!

I used a much fuller lined Pineapple and the embossing spread so far in the laminator that I ended up wth almost fully foiled pineapples! I’ll keep experimenting. I’m determined to have gold foil on them! =D
