New Release and a tutorial

Hi all,

Today I'm sharing with you a tutorial on how to foil your cards using

transfer gel, foil and a laminator.

It's really easy to do and the affect is amazing.

I used the new release stencil called Snowflake Flurries

from Craftin Desert Divas.

There are lots of pictures for this tutorial so please bare with me.

First you need to stick your stencil down over your card.

You then spread the transfer gel over the stencil

When you take your stencils off it should look like this

Once the gel has turned clear ( can take over an hour so plenty of time

to colour etc while waiting)

You need to turn your laminator on.

You then layer with

Baking parchment

card 

foil (colour side up)

baking parchment.

Excuse my fingers as you can see I was colouring while waiting.

Then feed it through the laminator.

Once it's been through it will look like this

This is when the magic happens.

Peel off the foil and it's glorious.

So shiny, I just wanted to stroke and move it so the foil caught the light.

Here are some different colours

These were great for backgrounds to compliment

our new digi that are being released at the same time

called Gingerbread Lane.

This is an awesome set. There are lots of different components.

Here is the first card I made

How cute are these snowmen.

I wanted to make a little family.

Copic combos

The last card is focusing on the stencil and the foil.

I had wrote the sentiment and I used a punch to help me make my

own banner by cutting the corners off.

So don't forget to come and join us over on Facebook 

at the new release party as there's lots of inspiration

plus you could win some goodies from the new release.
