Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share some SWEET Fruit themed Projects using Deco Foil, Deco Foil Flock Sheets, Metallix Gel and Gina K Design Glitz Glitter Gel!! I LOVE that you can combine ALL of these Products together to create some pretty Adorable Cards!!
Fruity Friend Cards
Foxy Fruit Deco Foil Flock Card
For my First Card, I wanted to use some Deco Foil Flock Sheets to create this SWEET Little Fox, and some of the Gina K Designs Glitter Glitz Gel, along with the Black Metallix Gel for the Watermelon!! Did you know that you can use the Gels for your Die Cut Images!! It’s SO FUN!! Let me show you how!!
I started by applying some of the Black Metallix Gel to my Cardstock with the help of the Stencil Pal!! It makes it so EASY and you have no waste!! Then set it aside to Dry!!
I repeated the same process only this time I used the Gina K Designs Glitter Glitz Gel in both Red Velvet and Bubblegum!! I wanted them to combine together for a two-toned look!! I LOVE how it turned out!! Then set it aside to dry!!
Then I also added some Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter Gel in Grass Green!! Then set it aside to dry!!
Then I took the CUTE Simon Says Stamp Watermelon Die and Die Cut it to create the AWESOME Glitz Glitter Gel and Metallix Gel Watermelon!! I wanted the “Heart Seeds” to shine so I finished them off with some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops!! I also used a NEAT Taylored Expressions Ant Die to Die Cut an Ant from some of the Black Ice Metallix Coated Cardstock!! It’s it FUN!!??
For the SWEET Fox, I Started by Adhering the Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets in White Latte and Orange Glow to the Deco Foil Double Sided Foam Sheets!! Then ran through my Gemini Machine just to use the Pressure so the Deco Foil Flock adheres firmly to the Deco Foil Foam Sheets!! Next, I Die Cutting all of the pieces from the MFT Friendly Fox Die Set!! I like using Distress Ink to Ink the Edges of the Flock for some added Dimension!!
I used Rusty Hinge for the Orange Die Cut pieces and Hickory Smoke for the White Die Cut pieces!! I left the Left Side of the Fox Head un-inked so you can see for yourself how much of a difference it makes!! It totally isn’t necessary though, as the Deco Foil Flock alone is BEAUTIFUL as is too!! Whatever your preference, its FUN to watch these Critters come to life!! I added some Spun Sugar Distress Ink for the Cheeks and the Ears and then added some Wiggly Eyes, some White Gel Pen Freckles, added some Nuvo Drops in Black for the Nose and used a Copic Marker to draw on some Eyelashes!!I also Die Cut a Bow from some Patterned Paper and used some Victorian Velvet Distress Ink to add some Color to and some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen to add some Sparkle!!
I added is to my Cardbase that I inked with some Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass, Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo!! Stamped and EMbossed the “You’re So Sweet” Sentiment and added a few Sparkling Clear Sequins!! It makes me SMILE!!

Piggy Deco Foil Thanks Card
For my second Card, I used the MFT Little Piggy Die Set!! I Die Cut it from some Gina K Designs Bubblegum Cardstock and then used Victorian Velvet Distress Ink to Ink the Edges and add some cheeks and dimension!!
I wanted to add some Sparkle so I Die Cut the Snout, inside of the Ears, the Tummy and the Tail from the Bubblegum Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter Gelled Cardstock!! I adhered the pieces together and then added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to the Hooves for some dimension!!
I Die Cut the Eye, inside of the Snout and the Mouth from the Black Ice Metallix Coated Cardstock and then adhered them to the Piggy!! I Also Die Cut the “THANKS” Word Die and then Die Cut 3 layers from some Gina K Designs Black Onyx Cardstock and layered them altogether for a dimensional Die Cut!!
I wanted to add some Texture to some Foiled Fruits, so I applied some Deco Foil Transfer Gel to a piece of Cardstock using my Stencil Pal and then set it aside to dry!!
Once it was Dry I ran it through my Foiling machine with Red, Summer Sunset and Brutus Monroe Green Sketch!! I Die Cut the Apple from some Red Deco Foil and the Leaf/Stem of the Apple from the Green Sketch Foil and adhered them together!! I also Die Cut some of Hearts from the Red Deco Foil and used them to scatter around the Cardbase!!
I added some White Gel Pen details and then created the Cardbase!! I Stamped the TE Notepaper Background using Distress Oxide Ink and then used the TE Notepaper Border Die to create the FUN Edge!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and adhered everything to the Cardbase!! I wanted the Head of the Little Piggy to WOBBLE, so I used a Mini Action Wobbler and it really makes this Card FUN!!
This card could be used for those AMAZING Teachers as we near the End of the School Year, or for anyone one else you want to THANK for a Job WELL DONE!!

I added some Distress Ink Shading with Hickory Smoke and then added some Cheeks using Victorian Velvet!! I Die Cut the Eyes, Nose, and Mouth from the Black Ice Metallix Coated Cardstock and added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to the Nose to make it Dimensional!! Then finished it off by adding some White Gel Pen details!! Then a Deco Foil Bow in Magenta was added for some extra CUTENESS!!
