FOIL. That's right. FOIL. I hoard foil like a magpie (and bling but y'all already knew that if you've followed me for a minute), and I need to make a point of USING it more. So that's what I did for these cards:
I have a bunch of newer My Favorite Things products that have been piling up for a while now. Some of it they sent to me and some I purchased (because I always tend to want the things that don't get sent so I buy them lol). I got their new Happy Birthday Impressive Die-namics - these are not regular wafer dies. The Impressive or Foiled (same thing) Die-namics are meant to be used in hot foil machines.
I have the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine that I use in my Spellbinders Platinum 6 die cutting machine. There are other hot foil machines on the market that will work with the MFT Impressive/Foiled Die-namics I just can't comment on them as I don't own them.
Anywho - I used the Happy Birthday Impressive Die-namics with the Glimmer Hot Foil machine and 3 different colors of Glimmer Foil (I linked to all of them below) just on white card stock. I then used a variety of MFT Die-namics sets and their new Birthday Brights 6x6 patterned paper pack.
I used the Hip Hip Hooray Die-namics on the card I used the Rainbow foil on. I added a small die cut star using an oldie-but-goodie SSS Mini Stars wafer dies just to fill in that spot.
On the top card I used the Perfect-Fit Balloon Die-namics, and added a SSS Inside Out Birthday sentiment strip that I coloured pink with a Copic marker.
Finally on the pink foiled card I used the Mini Cupcake Maker Die-namics.
I finished the insides of all the cards with bits of the Birthday Brights patterned paper and various sentiments and that was it!
