This week Whimsy Stamps and ThermOWeb are partnering for a fabulous week of inspiration and prizes! All week long designers from both teams will be sharing ways to add foils and more to your projects using products from ThermOWeb and Whimsy Stamps. Read to the end of this post to find out how you can win!
For my cards today, I am using the following products from Whimsy Stamps - You're too Kind and the brand new Friend Word with Shadows die collection, that goes with this set perfectly. From ThermoOWeb, I am using foils in Silver Shattered Glass, Ocean Blue and the Distressed Lines Clear Toner Sheets. For my second card, I also pulled in some plain Deco Foil Toner Sheets.
I started out by trimming down the Distressed Lines Clear Toner Sheets and added the Silver Shattered Glass Deco Foil over top of it. I ran it through my Mini Minc machine.
I then got to work on my sentiment. I stamped the friend word from the You're too Kind stamp set. I then took the coordinating die from the Friend Word with Shadows. I then used the die to cut some white card stock 3 more times so I could stack my sentiment for added depth and dimension.
I adhered my die cut and stamped sentiment and added some clear gems and my first card is complete.
For my second card, I didn't want the negative portion of the Silver Shattered Glass to go to waste. I took a piece of a Deco Foil Toner Sheets and laid it over top of the plain toner sheet. I ran it through my Minc machine to add the foil. I then took the Ocean Blue Deco Foil and added it over top of the piece I had just foiled. I ran it through my Minc again and below is what I came up with.
As I did in the first card, I stamped the friend word and die cut it with its coordinating die, again stacking it a few high to add dimension. some black sequins finish off this card.
This photo gives you a truer picture of the gorgeous Ocean Blue Deco Foil I used and how the panel looks with the two different foils. Absolutely gorgeous!
Here's a final look at both of my cards.
