Mini Slimline Birthday Card.

For a while, I've had an idea of a card I wanted to make.  When I got Master Layouts 15 from Gina K and associated Filler stencil, I knew I had all of the pieces to make the card!

 I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 7, Master Layouts 15, Master Layouts 15 Filler Stencil
• Gina K Designs - Fresh Asparagus, Light Lilac, Medium Lilac Inks
• Gina K Designs - Bold Blooms (sentiment), Take Card (flowers) Stamp sets
• Gina K Designs - Wild Wisteria paper

To make the card, I cut the three postage stamps and associated mat from Master Layouts 15.  Then using the stencil, I lightly added Light Lilac ink using a blender brush.  The flowers were then stamped using Medium Lilac Ink, and the stems and leaves stamped using Fresh Asparagus.  The three postage stamp die cut was added to the mat.  Master Layouts 7 was then used to cut the next layers.  These were added to the card base, and on top the postage stamp images.  The sentiment was added to complete the card.

Using leftover foil for another Birthday Card!

I had to use the leftover foil from a card I made a few weeks back,  Since the foil could be added to black toner sheets, I did that to make the background of this card.  (Now I just need to learn how to take a picture of a foiled card without getting a reflection in the foil!)

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Wetlands 2 Stamp set
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Wink of Stella - Gold
• MFT - Black Licorice Ink
• Therm-o-web - Gold leftover foil from foiling the Gina K Thick Brush Stencil-Mate

To make the card, I added the foil to the Black Toner sheet using my Fuse Machine.  This was then die cut using Master Layouts 1 (along with the black mat).  These were added to the card base. The image and sentiment were stamped on white paper and then manually cut to size and added to a black mat.  These were added to the card.  Wink of Stella was added to the wings of the dragonfly to add a bit of shimmer.

Another Foiled Birthday Card!

Here is another card made with a Stencil and associated Stencil-Mate

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Lush Leaves Stencil and matching Stencil-Mate
• Gina K Designs - Tranquil Teal, Lucky Clover, Wild Wisteria Ink
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Birthday Cheer Poly-glaze
• Therm-o-web - Emerald Watercolor and Champagne Deco Foil

To make the card, I foiled the Stencil-Mate with the Emerald Watercolor foil.  Then using the stencil, the various inks were added.  The image was then cut using the Master Layouts 1, along with the associated mat (in this case I used blue foil paper).  The sentiment was cut using the oval from Master Layouts 1 (along with the blue foil mat).  The sentiment was foiled using Champagne Foil.  The pieces were assembled and added to the card base to complete the card. 

Foiled Happy Birthday (Gina K)

A while back I got some of the Stencil-Mates from Gina K.  I picked the ones that matched stencils I already had.  I liked that the Stencil-Mate would allow you to add foil around the edges of the stenciled image.  Here is a card I mage with the Thick Brush Stencil and Stencil-Mate:

I used the following for the card:

• Gina K Designs - Thick Brush Stencil and matching Stencil-Mate
• Gina K Designs - Tranquil Teal, Lucky Clover, Wild Wisteria Ink
• Gina K Designs - Master Layouts 1
• Gina K Designs - Birthday Cheer Poly-glaze
• Therm-o-web - Gold and Champagne Deco Foil

To make the card, I foiled the Stencil-Mate with gold foil.  Then using the stencil, the various inks were added.  The image was then cut using the Master Layouts 1, along with the associated mat (in this case I used blue foil paper).  The sentiment was cut using the oval from Master Layouts 1 (along with the blue foil mat).  The sentiment was foiled using Champagne Foil.  The pieces were assembled and added to the card base to complete the card.
