I started with foiling my toner card fronts for backgrounds. It’s a super simple process.

Choose foil and toner card fronts.
Layer foil over toner card front in craft & carrier sheet. Run through heated-up laminator.
Peel that foil away. Feel free to save the negative to use on other projects.
Repeat the process with as many toner card fronts as you’d like to foil. Today I chose 2 to play with.

While my laminator was on, I pulled out the new Love & Kisses adhesive transfers and chose a few for my designs. The steps to using these are also really simple!

Cut out the images you want to use. Remove the backing liner.
Stick to your cardstock wherever you want them to be. Please inside a craft & carrier sheet and run through the laminator or die cut machine. This is purely for pressure. No heat is needed.
Peel the top acetate sheet off. You will see the shiny adhesive left on the cardstock.
Place foil over the top, back in your craft & carrier sheet, and run back through your laminator or die-cut machine.

For today’s cards, I chose to ink blend over the foiled adhesive transfer hearts. I used a couple of pink distress oxide inks to keep with the pink theme on that card. Once the blending was where I wanted it, I spritzed the panel with water and blotted that dry. Then I took a clean cloth and wiped away excess ink from the foil.

Next, I stamped and colored images from MFT Stamps Paradise Pals set with my Copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies and cut everything out. I also took a moment to stamp and cut sentiment strips using one of the perfectly fitting sentiments in the set.

Next, I prepped my pieces with foam tape and squares because, by now you all know, I love dimension on my cards! One quick note too, I cut two 1/4″ strips of black cardstock and adhered them to the top and bottom of the foiled heart strip with easy tear tape. I like the border and how it separates it from the foiled card front.

For this sweet pink card, I added the heart strip and then popped the adorable lion and sentiment strip on that. I honestly can’t get enough of this card. I think it is so cute and love how the lion pops off the pink.

This red foil on my second card is absolutely stunning in person! And for some reason those zebra stripes in red really get me! I love them!

Anyway, for this card, I added the hugs and kisses strip with foam squares and then added the trees tucked underneath the top of it before placing the zebra over that. Then I finished it off by adding the stamped sentiment layering over the other strip just a bit but offset. I think this little detail looks really cool too!
