Foiled picture

Hello! I was experimenting with my laser printer and Minc machine last night. I took a picture of my granddaughter in Photoshop and applied a filter to make it a line drawing. I printed it out on my laser printer and ran it through my Minc machine with copper foil. It turned out really cool! I will have to try more of this!

Teacher Appreciation cards

Hello! I recently watched a video by Jennifer McGuire on how to foil in different colors. You can see the video on her blog here. I just loved the teacher appreciation cards she made, and she provided a free download so you could make them too. I happen to have recently purchased a Heidi Swapp Minc Machine, and have been foiling all kinds of things, so I was excited to try out Jennifer's method. It is a bit time consuming to cut little pieces of foil for the different areas, and to carefully place them so they do not foil in the wrong area, but I love how they turned out!  Just so happens that my two granddaughter's were finishing up preschool this month and I made each of their teachers a set of these cards. They turned out sooo cute!

 I used a PTI impression plate in the background.

 I personalized the card sets for their teachers with the teacher's names.

 I packaged them in sets of four in a clear Papertrey card box along with 5 envelopes.

My daughter said the teachers loved them! Thanks for stopping by!
