Card Club - April - Reused Foil


I bet you don't recognize the foil from a yogurt container? Yep.

I used spray adhesive to glue the foil to thin cardstock. The foil was then cut with the Sizzix circle die. The white and turquoise circles cut with the Creative Memories cutter. The foil and white circles were then put through different Cuttlebug folders. The cardstock was 4x12" with a score at 5.5 then at 11 which leaves a one inch flap over the top front. I tacked the circled together with a bit of glue then the brad through the daisy confetti, 3 circles and the card front. The accent was placed so that it keeps the top flap closed.
White daisy confetti is no longer available on the shelves at Michaels. I was very surprised that basic white was no longer available.

Card Club - Oct - Embossed Foil

I bet you would not guess that the accent on this card is recycled foil. I had the girls at work saving the foil from applesauce and yogurt containers for my class. They were wondering what I was up to. I cut the foil with my Sizzix circle die and the cardstsock circle with my Creative Memories circle cutter. They were glued together. Then the circles were embossed in a small Cuttlebug embossing folder. Works very well and looks great. The greeting was stamped below the accent. The strip was embossed with the Swiss Dots folder.
