Have you ever looked at your beautiful dies and thought “I really need to make these die-cuts extra special!” so instead of ink-blending them, I thought I’d do some foiling and make them extra sparkly!
I started by cutting some DecoFoil Toner Sheets measuring 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches and also cut DecoFoil Transfer Sheet in Mystic Rainbow. I placed the foil on top of the toner sheet and run it through my laminator.
Next, I die-cut the foiled panel a few times using the Mila Meraki Flora Para-Dies. The photos can’t even justify how beautiful they really look in person!
I die-cut the background panel using the CM Pagoni Mania Background A2 Para-Dies with some Creamy Rose Card Stock. I adhered this panel on some A2-size, top-folding notecard. I also die-cut the word “hello” using a die from my collection.
I adhered the foiled flowers onto the focal panel with liquid glue and foam-mounted the “hello” sentiment for added dimension. I finished the card design by adhering some CM Ivory Opal Gems for added texture and interest. Here’s another look at the card:

I started by stamping the image on some X-Press It Blending Card and colored the image in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut it out.
Next, I prepared the background by inking it up with distress oxide inks in Shaded Lilac, Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar, I used the Meow Stencil to add some interest and texture to the background. I adhered this panel on some A2-size top-folding card base.
I added the focal image on the card panel with liquid glue. The last thing to do was to add the sentiment. I die-cut the sentiment strip using one of the dies from the Banner Trio Die Set and stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink. I sprinkled some white embossing powder and heat-set with the heating tool. I adhered the sentiment with liquid glue.

Using the same stencil, apply some Lime Chroma Glaze and Stencil Pal to spread the paste all over the background. Set this aside to let it dry for about 2 hours.
Stamp the image on some Neenah solar white card stock and color the images in with alcohol markers. Use Brother Scan N Cut machine or precision snips to cut the image out.
Once the background panel is dry, adhere the same on some A2-size notecard.
Foam-mount the frame on the card for added dimension.
Die cut the word “Congrats” on some Apple Green and White card stock using the Congrats Word Die with Shadow. Adhere them together with liquid glue.
Foam-mount the Congrats die-cut onto the card so that it is the same height with the frame.
Adhere the focal image using foam adhesive.
Add glossy accents to the Avocado image.
Die-cut some Apple Green Card Stock using the smallest die from the Fishtail Banner Die Set. Stamp the sentiment on this piece with Versamark ink and heat-set with heating tool.
Foam-mount the sentiment strip on the card to finish the design.

Welcome to Therm-O-Web and Newton’s Nook Designs collaboration. This week, NND and TOW are partnering for a fabulous inspiration week! All week long, both design teams will be sharing ways to use Therm O Web products with Newton’s Nook Designs stamps! There are prizes too! Read all the way to the end of this post to find out how you can win!
I am super excited to share a few cards with you today! I was able to use all of the products without wasting the negative foil pieces and they are amazing!
NOTE: The Cat Silhouettes and Dog Silhouettes Die Sets are temporarily out of stock but Newton’s Nook Designs will be getting more in very soon! If you’d like to be notified when they are back in stock, just sign up on the product pages to be notified!
The first and second card are pretty much identical in design but I changed the silhouettes and the sentiment. Here’s how I made the card:
die-cut the clouds border using the Sky Borders Die Set a few times on some Vellum and Neenah Solar White Card Stock.
die-cut cloud and sun using the Sky Scene Builder Die Set. Use ink blending tool and some light blue dye ink to sponge the edges of the cloud for added texture.
ink-up the foiled backgrounds using some dye inks and the Clouds Stencil.
cut some leftover stamp packaging to create the shaker well and use adhesive to close all three sides of the flaps, then add the shaker element, and close the fourth flap using adhesive.
adhere the foiled shaker background onto an A2-size notecard.
adhere both white and vellum cloud border die-cuts with liquid glue and foam-mount the die-cuts onto the card for added dimension.
adhere the the rest of the die-cuts onto the card with liquid glue.
stamp the sentiment using black ink.
finish the card design by adhering some red hearts for added interest.
Since I have two negative foil pieces from the cards above, I did not want to waste them so I used the iCraft Easy-Cut Adhesive Sheets and added them to some A2-size Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Card Stock. I die-cut both backgrounds using the scallop die from the Frames and Flags Die Set and adhered the same on some black A2-size notecards.
I die-cut the paw prints using the Pawprints Shaker Die Set with some black and white card stock and foam-mounted these pieces on the card for added dimension. I finished the card design by stamping the sentiment on the card.
I am so happy that I was able to make a few cards without wasting any foil. Have you tried doing the same technique? I hope you like my cards today and got inspired.
I started by die-cutting some Beige, Pink and White card stock using the A2 Stitched Layered Card Toppers Die Set. I adhered the layers on an A2-size notecard, and foam-mounted the white card stock for added dimension.
I finished my design by foam-mounting the images on the card for added dimension and stamping the sentiment with Raven Hybrid ink. Here’s another look:

Hello my crafty friends! I hope everyone’s excited for the weekend!
Sometimes, creating a clean and simple card is just what I needed to relax and get rid of stress. Coloring is very therapeutic and the perfect stamp set to color today is the Hug in a Mug stamp set that I am pairing with the Dancing Feathers Background A2 Die.
I started by stamping the images on some X-Press It Blending Card and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used my precision snips to cut the image out since I didn’t have the coordinating die.
I wanted some texture to the background so I die-cut some Neenah Classic Crest card stock using the Dancing Feathers Background A2 Die. I adhered this panel on some A2-size notecard and added the focal image with liquid glue. I finished the design by adding the sentiment that I heat-set with my heating tool. Here’s another look at the card:

The first project is a gift tag that I made for a friend, showcasing the Big Confetti Tag. I used the Big Confetti Tag to die-cut some cute pattern paper and some 110 lb. Neenah card stock for stability.
I adhered the pattern paper on the card stock and added acetate sheet and foam-adhesive to create my shaker well. I die-cut the layered bits using the same Big Confetti Tag on different colors of card stock with some star confetti as my shaker elements. I adhered them together to close the shaker
I added the sentiment from the Birthday Banter Stamp Set and finished the design by adding the ribbon and baker’s twine.
The Large Rainbow Circle was used to die-cut some Neenah solar white card stock, and colored using alcohol markers. I adhered the pieces together using some wide packing tape and adhered on the card front.
