Working With Silver and Gold Leaf Foils

I have never been a fan of the FSJ Silver and Gold Leaf Foils until recently.   I discovered that they can be applied easily to double sided adhesive tape.

Here are some samples .... I put double sided adhesive tape on the card front (base) and then applied a die cut (butterfly or tree).  One die cut was in position, I then placed then rubbed the leaf with my fingers to get it attached to the adhesive.   The final step was to take a sponge dauber and brush off the excess from the die cut.   Very pleased with the results.

The butterfly was done in gold leaf foil.    A dear friend gave me the Gnome stamp set as a surprise last month.   I thought the little house, sign, and frog were the perfect accents for this card.  

The tree was done with silver leaf foil.

Oh my gosh, I received the most wonderful surprise gift the other day from my friend, Betty.   She gave me a set of Simply Defined dies called:

They are exclusive to Scrapbooking Made Simple

These are very intricate dies so when I die cut them in my Gemini machine, I used "Quick Release Die Paper".

Thank you, Betty, for these beautiful dies.   I definitely will use them a great deal.

All 3 dies - each a different color of card stock (FSJ):
NOTE:  The sky is the limit on the color combinations you can use for these.

Pink layer on top of the green on top of the blue:

All 3 layers made into a card:

Each layer can be used alone or with one or two of the other layers.   The choice is yours.  The card edges can be adhered with 1/8" double sided tape, but I used liquid glue (fine tip applicator).
