Merry Christmas

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I have a few more cards I created using stencils with my Go Press and Foil Machine. This time around I made Christmas cards using the Dreamweaver's stencil Row of Christmas Trees. For the Christmas tree panel I used Green Foil, which looks a lot better in real life than what it actually looks in the photo above. 

The Merry Christmas is a hot foil stamp which I foiled using gold foil. The designer paper also has gold foil stripes in it.

For the inside of my card I used yet another hot foil stamp which I foiled using gold foil.

My second card uses the negative piece of foil which you would normally discard once you had foiled the trees the first time. I also foiled the Merry Christmas this time using green foil the same as the trees.

I used the same hot foil stamp that I used in the inside of my first card, but this time I foiled it using green foil.

For my final card today, I used the same stencil but this time used black card. Again this looks soooooo much better for real than in the photo above. 

And my final inside card which has been foiled using green foil.

Foiled Blossom with Bird

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two cards I created while playing with my Go Press and Foil machine recently. About a month ago I posted a card I created using the old style embossing die from Spellbinders Impressablities but hadn't thought about using stencils with the machine until I saw a video by Stacey from Scrapbooking Made Easy. So of course the next day I had to get my machine, foil and stencils out to have a play.

Both cards using the Dreamweaver stencil called Blossom with Birds, I really love how this came out. And being able to get two cards out of one piece of foil is awesome. I also used a new birthday sentiment hot foil stamp I just got for the sentiment on the card. 

To finish off the card I added Nuvo Drops.

For the inside of the card I added another birthday hot foil stamp which I received the day I made the cards.

This card using the negative piece of the foil  which would normally be thrown out after foiling the first card ... I so love this idea. Check out Scrapbooking Made Easy's video if you have a Go Press and Foil machine to see how this is done.

Again the sentiment has also been foiled.

For the inside of this card I used the same hot foil stamp that I used on the front of the first card.
