Hello month of July, the month of all things hot and right now, foil is a hot trend that I am just starting to dabble in. Today, I’m sharing a simple card (or two!) using some of the fun Foil-Mates products from Gina K. Designs and Therm O Web.
I would like to say for the record, the shot above is the best foiled card shot I’ve taken to date! It’s hard to get those suckers to show how shiny and gorgeous they are in real life!
This image doesn’t do it justice at all, so… I’ve got a video for you to watch today!
If you’ve never tried foil, it really is fun to play with. That whole peel and reveal moment? Pretty crafty good fun! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am new to cardmaking and have a rudimentary question. Do you stamp a sentiment on the inside of the card? Your cards are beautiful and I love your simple (and hilarious) narration?
Cathy Zielske says
Sometimes I do! But more often, I just write my personal note on the inside! It depends! Gina has some wonderful birthday sentiment stamp sets!
Mary D says
Thanks much! BTW, love your stamp sets at Simon Says Stamp!
Dana M says
Beautiful! I just purchased a laminator so I really appreciate the great foiling tips!
Shawna says
Your cards are absolutely beautiful and make me want to crest cards too! Imagine receiving the gift of a beautiful hand-made sentiment!
Thank you SO very much for opening up your life and sharing!❤️
Cathy Zielske says
Thanks so much, Shawna! I never realized I would enjoy card making so much, but… they’re like these little crafty projects that you can sit and complete and when you’re done, you can just give them away!

Bridget G Weed says
I’ve been afraid to try this, but you made it seem so simple! Beautiful cards!
Cathy Zielske says
One of the things I love about Gina’s products is that they are simple to use and you can create simple designs that still pack a real creative punch!

Foil IS FUN! Those Wild Dandelion Stars are the BEST! Such a good idea to get a sheet prepped with our Deco Foil Transfer Gel for whenever you want some foiled accents!! Brilliant! And there is nothing quite like a foil peel and reveal! ;-D
Cathy Zielske says
Right? I love it, too! And yes, SO much you can do with the Transfer Gel, too!
Kirsty Vittetoe says
Seriously gorgeous!
Dawn says
It’s a party on paper! Love that color combo, Cathy.
Cathy Zielske says
Ha! yes, it is. A shiny one, too!
