I have lots of birthdays this month, and most of them will be getting a foiled card. If you don't like photo-heavy posts, then this one isn't for you - I have 5 cards today. They were all made with stencils, transfer gel and foils, and sentiment dies.
The first 2 cards use sentiment dies that were cut from adhesive fun foam with foil pressed directly to the adhesive, not heat-set. All of the other foiling was done with my laminator.

definitely the pink one is my favorite - the purple is a close second tho!!
Love the pink one, Lin! But, they are all so beautiful. Wish my birthday was in May!!
If you pointed a gun at my head, I would have to choose the first one ~ but I am crazy for all of them. Thanks so much for the beautiful ideas. Thinking I need to beef up my stash based on these today!
Each one is so unique. Love them all.
What a stunning set of cards Lin. Love all that foiling.
Just found your gorgeous cards. so pretty and lots of ideas with foiling that I have not tried.
Lin, can you point me to a tutorial on this technique? Will I find it if I just search stencils/transfer gel foiling?
Yes, I'd guess if you search transfer gel foiling, you'd get a tutorial, but it's just a matter of spreading the gel across your secured stencil. I love the Stencil Pal tool to then pass over it to remove the excess and smooth everything out. Carefully remove the stencil, let the gel dry until it's shiny, then add your foil and laminate.
