Christmas in July at Technique Junkies...

Hello everyone!

Whew....I am sliding in at the last minute with some holiday cards that I've created for the 'Christmas in July' challenge on the Technique Junkies' FaceBook page.

I won't jabber today - I'll just share!  Here goes...

Stamped with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink



I could NOT get a good photo of this. Tried about 20 different ways. Anyway, in real life, this is real purty!!!  I painted the Transfer Gel on with a paintbrush, and let it totally dry, prior to running it through my laminator. Then, the strips at the bottom were Scor-Tape, that I laid the foil over.

Scor-Tape covered with the heat foil - so pretty!





Foil fail....the image was just too much darkness, which is what the foil grabs to. Again, I painted the gel on, and let it dry, prior to running the piece through the laminator. In real life it is very pretty, but SO hard to get a good photo!!!

Painted the transfer gel on, and let dry prior to covering with foil sheet and laminating. Colored image with Copics.

Drug out my old can of Stickles to decorate this one. Colored image with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Hugs and holiday smiles,
Patti J.

Well I have to say the red/white cards are my favorite - especially for a couple of special people. Then my second favorite is the beautiful blue speckled egg peace dove, so pretty and the color is beautiful. I have only played with foils one time - and it was a "failed foil" and just never tried again. I know you will master this technique then you can show me how to do it. Great selection of Christmas cards.

This is an amazing collection of cards, Patti! You really had some fun during your "foil playtime." I haven't foiled anything in a while (so many techniques--so little time), but I really should foil a few cards for Christmas. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration.

Well, my goodness you have been busy, and what a beautiful array of Christmas cards. Love them all, the dove is lovely. I'm looking at a dove stamp and die bundle from Stampin up to make my Christmas cards. Amazing collection of lovely cards.

Hugs
