Springtime Foils, aahhhhh

I hope you all managed to catch my Facebook Party last night, we had a lot of fun and I will be posting out/delivering all the prizes this week.

I thought I would post the Springtime Foils projects I made last night in the Facebook Live, just so you can see them close up.  I love the Springtime Foils, you get 3 sheets of four 12x12 designs, plenty to keep you going.  The cards is a little thick than our normal DSP weight, but this means it is ideal for colouring on, whether you use out Stampin' Blends or watercolour (remember you can add our watercolour pencil on top of the Stampin' Blends.

Here is the card I made last night, using inspiration from Dawn Griffith, I love the cut away aspect of the design - so quick and simple, perfect for when you do not want to do any colouring.


The second sample uses just a fraction of the paper.  I coloured this in using the stampin' blends and I found, because the surface is slightly coated, you need to work fast to get the blend just right.  You also need to be careful with the foiled aspects as you will not be able to wipe alcohol markers off as you would with watercolour tools.


I hope you enjoyed these projects, and fall in love with the Springtime Foils, as I have!

Remember Sale-A-Bration (and these foils) end on the 31st March.

Springtime Foils

I wasn't sure about this Sale-A-Bration DSP at first, but I had a free gift to get, and I am glad I got these papers.  I have had a lot of fun working with them, and I hope Stampin' Up continue offering foiled cardstock like this.

They are so easy to colour, and later in the month I will show you another way of colouring the papers, but with this first sample I have used the Stampin' Blends to colour in abstractly.


I have to say, I did forget one important thing - don't use embossing powder with alcohol markers!  Luckily I got away with it this time.  

This sample is even more simple, just letting the paper shine in the background to the Beautiful Bouquet bundle.


To get your hands on this DSP, you just need to spend £45 and choose it before the end of March.  Yes, that's right folks, Sale-A-Bration ends in just a few weeks, so if there is anything you want you best start making that list now.

My next Workshop is on Friday 9th, repeated on Tuesday 13th March.  If you can't make it but would like to craft along regardless, check out Fi's Paperbox - a craft box posted to you for the beginning of April containing all of March's projects.  Have a look at the Fi's Paperbox page today.
