Gold Foil Hello card by Irene

Happy Friday, crafty friends! Irene here with a hot foil card featuring the new Arabesque Crafty Meraki Effortless Shimmer Paper. Hot foil plates aren't my strong suit, so these ESPs make it easy. The best part is that no hot foil system is necessary!

I made a fun and ultra-shiny hello card for this week's project. I used the Arabesque ESP pad and Deco-Foil Rainbow Shattered Glass and an inexpensive Scotch brand laminator.

I selected a style from the ESP paper pad and trimmed one sheet of foil to the same size. I cut a sheet of parchment paper and folded it in half. I placed the foil and ESP sheet in between and ran them through the laminating machine. I peeled the foil back and then trimmed my newly foiled ESP sheet. I cut my background to 3.75 inches by 5 inches. I added it to an A2-sized gold foil panel.

For the Hello sentiment, I used the Hello Shadow Word Die. I cut the solid outline in white cardstock and the other in gold foil. I removed the die cut from the center so that the hello would show through in white cardstock.

I assembled the sentiment with liquid glue and added it to the card with foam tape. And just like that, it's done!

Thanks for reading along! Have a great weekend!
