Hi Stampers,
I have a lot of foiled papers! A lot!!!! If you gave been creating cards for long, I bet you have a little stash of foiled papers too! It’s time to pull out those shiny papers and put them to work!
Today I am sharing a couple of card ideas and ideas for tags, and each project (with one exception) uses foiled papers! Here is a look at my sample projects:

USING FOILED PAPERS FOR PROJECTS THAT
SHIMMER AND SHINE
FAUX ORNAMENT CARDS
SUPPLIES FOR THESE CARDS
* Stamp sets - Christmas Classics (greeting) and Joy to You (inside greeting)
* Card bases - Granny Apple Green / Melon Mambo cardstock- 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”
* Basic White cardstock - 2 pieces per card, layer for front of card and one for inside panel - 5” x 3 3/4”
* Foil paper - Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green
* Metallic Woven Ribbon - Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party, about 24” each
* Inks - Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green; Stampin’ Write Marker - Smoky Slate
* Reach for the Stars Dies - circles - 2nd, 3rd, and 4th largest
* Snowflake Sky embossing folder
* Adhesive and dimensionals
NOTE
* Die cut circles from the foil paper first, then emboss them.
* Use ribbon to create bows, attach bows with glue dots. Use a paper piercer or other tool to fold the glue dot in half, then fold it in half again.
DIE CUT POSITIVE & NEGATIVE CHRISTMAS TREE CARDS
These cards are sort of a “two for one” type of card as the positive image (die cut tree) and the negative image (layer with space where shape was die cut) are used to create two cards. For the first the Christmas tree shape is die cut from the center of the mat layer. Next I used an embossing folder and embossed the mat layer including the die cut part. (This will be used for the second card.) Then I die cut the Christmas tree image from a piece of foiled paper. I adhered the mat layer to the card base. Then I placed dimensionals on the back side of the foiled paper die cut and lined it up on the mat layer. Die cutting the shape from the mat layer leaves a bit of an impression that serves as an “outline” for the foiled tree image. This adds a bit more dimension and definition to the tree.
The second card is created using the tree image die cut from the mat layer of the first card. The tree is adhered to a mat layer using dimensionals.

TAGS
* For all tags I used the Tailor Made Tags Dies. If you do not have these dies, you can create tags with a similar look. See video and refer to Template chart found further down this page.
* The tag measure about 2” x a bit less than 4”, and consist of two layers; the foiled paper and Basic White cardstock.
* I cut the Specialty DSP (foiled paper) in strips 2” wide x 12” long, and strips of Basic White cardstock 2” wide by 11” long. I lined up the top end of the foiled paper with the top end of the cardstock, placed my die at the top of the stacked papers, secured it with low tack tape and ran it through the die cut machine. Keeping the papers together, I repeated the process. Next I separated the remaining foiled paper from the cardstock. ( I saved the remaining piece of cardstock to use for sentiments and the like.) I lined up the remaining foiled paper with another strip of cardstock and repeated the process.
* When using the Tailor Made Tags Dies and cutting both layers of the tag at the same time I found the faux stitching around the edge of the tag die pressed the two pieces of paper together and held well enough I needed no adhesive to hold the two layers of the tag together. Adding the ribbon to the top also helped hold the two pieces together.
* For all tags I used the To/From stamp from the Joy of Noel stamp set.
* For each tag the ribbon is cut at 6” long, doubled, slipped through the hole and the tails pulled through the loop.
* Some supplies I used for these tags are no longer available. Use what you have in your stash. In general my projects are created using items that can be ordered from Stampin’ Up!®️, but sometime I use retired items. I believe in practicing what I preach, and I do encourage you to take the ideas I show and create them using what you have on hand.
