Stephanie is challenging us to incorporate the word LEAVES into our cards this week at Just Us Girls. I made a simple (and beautiful!) foiled leaf card. Sorry about the lousy photo but I have no idea how to get the lighting right for foiled cards.
I have to be honest. I didn't jump on the foiling bandwagon for years. But recently I purchased a Gina K Fuse foiling machine. Why? Jennifer McGuire said the Fuse could serve as a laminator as well. My laminator had been recalled. At one point, I had tried foiling with my laminator but everything was just splotchy. So I had a tube of green deco foil and the above card fronts at home; not touched for years after my initial foiling attempt. I just didn't want more equipment in my small craft room, expensive plates to buy, etc. The Fuse is great. As you can see, perfect foiling every time. Gina K's polyglaze sheets make foiling die cuts easy. And these toner cards are perfect card fronts. Also I can foil anything printed on my laser printer. I should say Jennifer was a bit wrong. The Fuse does laminate but not a full-size sheet (8.5x11").
This card is so sparkly, it didn't need much embellishment. I added a layered white sentiment backed by vellum to finish.
