Both of my daughters have birthdays in April! So I figured I'd better get to work on their birthday cards. I bought some Heidi Swapp flowers and this beautiful mint colored foil at my local Joann's. I did not buy the Heidi Swapp Minc Foil applicator machine because it was $150!! However, a month or so ago I bought a small $20 laminator that Jennifer McGuire recommended in this post. Guess what?! Heidi Swapp's flowers and foil worked in my little inexpensive laminator! I was so excited! This is the package of flowers that I bought. They are card stock with black toner (I assume) and when you run it through a laminator the foil adheres to the black areas. Very cool!
The package of Tim Holtz Idea-ology metal plaquettes happened to have the number 17 and the number 14. Perfect! A card for my almost 14 year old is next on my list. I also loved the opportunity to use my new Make A Wish candles die set from Memory Box. These candles come in sets of 3 in three different sizes.
Here's a close-up of the foiled mint flowers that I layered to create one large flower.
