Embossed Rinea Paper Foil Card Backgrounds

I just love embossed papers and I use them all the time in my crafting. The subtle textures add wonderful layers. I couldn't wait to try Rinea Paper Foil because I knew it would be just beautiful when embossed. Once I started embossing, I couldn't stop and now I have a nice selection of embossed foils ready to go. Make sure you look for my post later this month when I share a scrapbook layout featuring elegant gold embossed foil.  Here are the girlie cards I made with Rinea's Blush Foil.







Once I started embossing, I couldn't stop and now I have a nice selection of embossed foils ready to go.  Make sure you look for my post next week when I share a scrapbook layout featuring elegant gold embossed foil.

Card 1: Fabulous Flourish & Fairy Birthday Card

Directions:
1. Place a piece of foil into the embossing folder and send it through the die cutter.
2. Embellish the background with mini gems. Use a permanent white marker to highlight parts of the pattern. Stamp a border onto transparency and attach it over the embossed foil.
3. Attach the embossed foil to the card base and cut off any excess overhanging foil.
4. Stamp a central focus image. Color, fussy cut, and mount with foam tape.  Add a sentiment.

TIP: Apply glitter glue in the recessed areas to add contrast within the embossed pattern.

Start Again Card - Sin City Stamps

Hi Girls,
Today I have a vintage style friendship card.   I created the background with layers of overlapping masking tape which adds a beautiful subtle wrinkly texture. The paints accentuate all the crevices and is a very effective way to create an aged look so it is very versatile for any vintage & distressed project. I hope you will try this simple technique to create a textured  background because I'm sure you will love it too.

You can find the tutorial today on the Sin City Stamps Blog.  HERE

Supplies:
1. Birds Clocks Rubber Stamp Set
2. Flower Bird Sketches Stamp Set
3. Inhale Exhale Art Stamp Set
4. white cardstock
5. black ink pad
6. masking tape
7. sponge applicator
8. paint - yellow
9. white crackle paint
10. gold mist
11. liquid adhesive
12. gold micro beads
13. gold brads

Rinea Foil Scrapbooking Title

Check out my YouTube Video of a quick & easy Valentine's Day layout.  All you need are four photos and bit of vellum, transparency, and Ruby Foil to make this project so unique. Rinea paper foils die cut beautifully.  I used metallic red foil to die cut the title and then cut it in vellum to offset over the foil.  I also used a mini paper punch to cut some small hearts.  I think you will agree, it is stunning in its simplicity.

You can find the step by step video HERE.
 

Supplies: Ruby - Metallic Paper Foil (Rinea), love die cutter, die cutting machine, transparency, mini heart paper punch, silver permanent marker, Brilliance Moonlight White Ink Pad (Tsukineko), Red Glitter Sorbet Cardstock / Vellum Glitter Red Spatter / Teen Girl Stickers / Cherry Kisses Archival Seeds / Hearts Dew Drops (The Robin's Nest)
