*Birthday Foil*

I wasn't sure how this one would turn out.... and while it looks great, it wasn't a card I would end up sending.  I put double sided adhesive on the front of the Happy die cut and then foiled it with pressure transfer foil and unfortunately, it ended up still sticky and sticking to everything.

Too bad, cuz it looked pretty!

*Galentine's Blog Hop*

It's time for another blog hop with the Scrap 'n Stamp Design Team!!  For February, we are looking to see your Galentine's Day cards....  not sure what that is?  Well, it's a card you'd send to a very good friend.... kinda like a valentine but with a good friend theme instead of love.  Make sure to visit all the blogs along the hop and leave a comment at each blog....  one commenter will win a $50 shopping spree at Scrap'n Stamp!!!  The winner will be announced on or about February 18th on the Scrap'n Stamp Blog!

I had some fun with this card, using some new to me products.  I started out with a stencil from Gina K and I used a palette knife to spread Deco Foil Transfer Gel over it.  I set it aside for about an hour to dry.  I then grabbed this beautiful multicoloured Deco Foil and placed it on top of the stencilled piece and put it through my laminator a few times to adhere to the foil to the transfer gel.  There were a few parts that didn't take the foil quite right so that's how I decided where to put my sentiment!  I stamped up the MFT sentiment and used the We R Memory Keepers layer guide to create a 1/16th black layer under the sentiment (and under the front panel as well).  I can't wait to play some more with the Transfer Gel!
