Hi friends! I have some more inspiration for you using a fun new product from Simon Says Stamp’s Splendor release. The new Friendship Leafy Cluster Foil Transfer Panels work beautifully with the rest of the Friendship Leafy Cluster product suite, including the dies and stencils. These panels are printed with toner ink, so they will work in your hot foiling machine of choice (not the Glimmer, but rather a Minc, laminator, or other toner-foiling machine!) with whatever color of foil you select. I used a Minc, but there are a bunch of different options on the market now from some of our favorite companies! So many fun creative possibilities!! I chose to foil the cards with some Rose Quartz toner-reactive foil and paired it with lots of pretty rose gold embellishments. Let’s get started on the details for my card!
The Friendship Leafy Cluster product suite features a stamp set with coordinating layering stencils to make coloring these images super easy, as well as coordinating dies to cut these detailed foliage sprigs out very quickly. After I had hot foiled the Friendship Leafy Cluster Foil Transfer Panels using the metallic Rose Quartz toner-reactive foil, I used a blending brush to blend Blush & Cheeky Pawsitively Saturated Ink, creating some whimsical peachy-pink sprigs of foliage. I die cut the images out with their coordinating dies from the Friendship Leafy Cluster product suite.
To accent my rose gold leaves, I die cut a thin frame using Simon Says Stamp’s Rose Gold Metallic cardstock and the A7 Thin Frames dies. I also lightly blended some more Cheeky ink on my white A2 card base, then splattered the blended area with some coordinating rose gold glitter watercolor to add some textural interest and sparkle to the background.
For the greeting, I heat embossed a sentiment from Friendship Leafy Cluster using rose gold embossing powder from Hero Arts onto some more crisp white cardstock. I die cut the script sentiment using the coordinating die and trimmed down the remainder of the sentiment using my guillotine trimmer for super crisp edges. I adhered the foiled frame directly over the area upon which I’d blended and splattered, then arranged my leafy swag and sentiment pieces, adhering all with foam squares. Finally, I added some pink gems from the new Cool Tones Pawsitively Dazzling Gems set for one last touch of sparkle!
Well, that’s all for my project today. If you haven’t tried out toner foiling, you’re missing out, because there are so many fun new products that you can use with these machines, including these new Friendship Leafy Cluster Foil Transfer Panels. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!
