Friend Cards using Deco Foil Adhesives to add some Sparkle and Shine!!

Hello Crafty Friends!!

Larissa here today to share a Set of Friend Cards that use Deco Foil Adhesives to add some Sparkle and Shine to the Beautiful Butterfly Die Cuts as well as the Splattered Background!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE these Techniques and how they can be used for ANY Design!! I hope you feel INSPIRED to give them a try on your Next Design!!

How BEAUTIFUL are these Cards!!?? If you look closely you can see that the Butterflies are outlined with Deco Foil & Fancy Foils for a FUN Sparkle and Shine that brings them to LIFE!! I’ve also added some Deco Foil Adhesive Splatters that I Foiled with even more Deco Foil & Fancy Foils and they bring the entire Design together!! Let’s Get Started!!

I Started by Die Cutting the Pieces for my Butterflies using the Doodlebug Design Inc. Flutterby Doodle Cuts!! SWOON!! This Die Set is AMAZING and there are so many different ways you can use them!! I chose to use Doodlebug Pattern Papers and then I used the Deco Foil Pen to outline the Butterfly Wings!! Then I set them aside to dry completely!! Once Dry I used the Peach Princess Deco Foil for the Bottom Wings and the Fancy Foil in Dazzling Orange for the Top Wings!!

Here’s a close-up look!! SWOON!! That Deco Foil and Fancy Foil Edge just really makes these Butterflies POP!! I LOVE how they turned out!!

I repeated the Process only this time using Pinks!! I used the Enchanted Rose Deco Foil for the Bottom Wings and the Fancy Foil in Twinkling Pink for the Top Wings!!

SWOON!! How BEAUTIFUL are the Pink Butterflies!!?? These just make me HAPPY!!

For these more Decorative Butterflies I chose to use the Glass Slipper Deco Foil for the Light Turquoise Parts of the Butterfly and I LOVE how it turned out!! There’s a BEAUTIFUL Iridescent Shine and it REALLY makes these Butterflies POP!!

Here’s a Close-up look!! I hope you can see how the Bodies Sparkle & Shine!!??

For the Last Butterflies I used the Fancy Foil in Glimmering Gold to add Sparkle & Shine to both the Top and Bottom Butterfly Wings!!

SWOON!! They Sparkle and Shine so BEAUTIFULLY and I LOVE the dimension this adds to the Butterflies!! You can use this Technique on ANY Die Cut Shape!! I especially like to use this with Flowers or even Critters to help make them POP!!

Next I Stamped and Embossed the Pretty Pink Posh Friend Greetings Sentiments onto some Black Cardstock using some WoW Clear Embossing Ink and some Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder!! Then I Die Cut them out using the coordinating Pretty Pink Posh Friend Greetings De Set!!

Next I used the NEW Delicate Magnolias Deco Foil Toner Card Fronts and I added some Deco Foil Adhesive Splatters using a Paint Brush!! I set them aside to Dry and then I used the same Deco Foil and Fancy Foils that I used to create the Butterflies and pressed the Foil into the Splatters to add the Different Foil Colors to the Card Panels!! SWOON!! I LOVE the way this adds extra Sparkle, Shine & Texture to the Card Panel!!

I adhered the Sentiment to the Card Panel using some Ultra Bond Adhesive!! Then I adhered the Butterflies to the Card Panel using some Foam Tape for some Dimension!!

I adhered some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones for even more Iridescent Sparkle and I LOVE the way this Turned out!!

I LOVE the Dimension from the Butterflies and how they look like they are flying off of the Card Panel!!

I repeated the Process for this Second Card!! Just changing up the Sentiment being used the Color of the Butterflies!!

I added more Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones and the Iridescent Sparkle really finishes off the Design!!

Those Butterflies are SO BEAUTIFUL!!

Again I repeated the same Process adhering the Sentiment to the Card Panel and then adhering the Butterflies with some Foam Tape for some added Dimension!!

I adhered more Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones and I LOVE the added Iridescent Sparkle!!

The are Fling right off the Card Panel!!

I repeated the same Process for the Last Card Design!!

I adhered more Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones and they finish off the Design BEAUTIFULLY!!

These Butterflies are so BEAUTIFUL!!
