Sisterly Card with the Gentleman Crafter


Hi and Welcome! 
Here is the latest sensationally foiled card project from the Gentleman Crafter 



Instructions:
  • Load the GoPress & Foil Metal Conversion Plateand central die from the Modern Essentials- Decorative Nesting Rectangular Flourished Frames set into the GoPress & Foil machine and turn it on to heat up.
  • From the 12” x 12” cardstock, cut a 6” x 12” strip and fold in half to form a 6” square card blank. 
  • From the remainder of the 12” x 12” cardstock sheet, cut a 5” square and a 4.75” square.
  • From the second sheet, cut eight 3” x 4” rectangles. 
  • From the foil, snip sixteen pieces just a little bigger than the central die from the Modern Essentials- Decorative Nesting Rectangular Flourished Frames set.
  • Foil and die cut the eight small rectangles twice each using the die until you have sixteen embellishments.


  • Remove the die and place it on the silicone sheet to cool down.
  • Cut a piece of gold foil to fit the 4.75” square of cardstock and scrunch and roll it in your hands until it looks crackled.
  • Place the 4.75” piece of card onto the 5” scrap of card and lay the crushed foil on top. Place this stack into your GoPress & Foil machine underneath the metal conversion plate and run through the GoCut & Emboss machine. 
  • Remove the stack and remove the foil carrier. 

  • Layer this crushed foil sheet onto the 5” square of cardstock with double sided tape and then layer that onto the folded 6” card with foam tape.

  • Select eight of your embellishments that you foiled and cut earlier. Apply a small piece of foam tape to one end and a dab of PVA glue to the other.

  • Form these into a circular medallion starting with the vertical and horizontal outer points.

  • Then adding in the corners.

  • Create a second round of embellishments by placing them in between the previous embellishments and slightly further out.

  • Foil your sentiment onto white cardstock and die cut with a circle die. Die cut a slightly larger circle from the black cardstock. Glue these layers together and apply to the card using foam tape.

  • If you would like to, add adhesive gems to any points you wish.
