Snowflakes with Gold Foiling

Hello! A few weeks ago I bit the bullet and bought a laminator and then of course had to buy foils and other supplies to use with the tool. One purchase led to more buying....that's what happens to us crafters and card makers when we just have to try something new and different. Today I am sharing a card that I made using my new toys. I began by foiling a sheet of Foil-Mate Snowflakes from GKD with Glimmering Gold Foil.  I cut this into panels sized for a card front.  I inked the edges of one panel with Gold Metallic marker and attached to a card base of GKD Red Velvet CS. I cut a strip of the red CS with the Merry Christmas Trim die by Sue Wilson from Creative Expressions and inserted gold cut letters (leftover from another cut) into the strip. Attached to the finished card.

 This is another card made with another panel of the foiled snowflakes.  But I used a mat of Red Card stock and a card base of Gold Metallic for this design.  This second photo is dark but shows some of the shine of the foiling better.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa
