Hi friends, it’s Ellen here, I’m so excited to share my first post of this year! Today we have some sweet ice cream cards with a lot of Flock and Foil.
Sweet Shoppe Cards with Deco Foil Flock and Toner Sheets
Below you can find a step-by-step explanation of how I created these cards and tags. At the bottom of this blog post, I have a supplies list for each of the cards. This makes it easy to find something when you’re looking for something specific on one of the cards.
I started out by using the “Candy Stripes” Slimline and normal Kraft Toner Card Front. I layered the (pretty side up) “Enchanted Rose” and “Prince Periwinkle” Transfer Sheets on top of the card fronts. Next I placed the bundles in a “Carrier Sheet” and ran it through the laminator.
The next I created the scenes. I inked the backgrounds in blue, teal and yellow and cut them out with a desired shape (a wave for the sea,…). Then I used the “Transfer Gel Duo” on top using stencils and the “Stencil Pal”. After that, I washed my tools and stencils with warm water and an old toothbrush. You see the color of the gel change from with to a clear color. When it’s clear you know you’re ready for the next step. For the stars and waves, I used special foils (Magical Shattered Glass and Sparkling Silver). Just as above I placed the foil on top and ran it through the laminator.
I’m in LOVE with how the see turned out! it’s amazing with that Magical Shattered Glass! It looks like real waves sparkling catching some sunlight.
I also used the Transfer Gel with the flock for my background. Here I used it with a cloud stencil. After the gel dried White Latte Flock was on top. Here you have to put the pretty side/flocked side of the transfer sheets towards the gel. Then I ran it through my hot laminator again. The heat and pressure assure the flock adheres to the Transfer Gel (the splatters you see on the background are made by me with white ink because I like that).
On the picture with the flock and cloudy background, you can see also a few clouds separately. These were made using “Foam Adhesive Sheets”. For this you place the flock onto the exposed adhesive from the sheet and run it through a die-cutting machine.
On the card you can see all the fun techniques we explained. These foils and flocks make cards stunning!
Of course you are thrilled to see the 2nd card. Well, here it is…
All the techniques you can see on this card are explained above. With foam tape and squares, I created dimension on both cards. To simply glue things down I use the “Permanent Adhesive Dot Runner”. To attach the resin hearts on the first card I used the “iCraft UltraBond” liquid glue.
As you can see the second card is the night scene. The text finishes in the inside of the card using the “Potent Purple” ink.
With a piece of the slimline card I quickly make a small tag for around the lollipop. Isn’t the complete set so cute?!
