Hi there, crafty friends. I’m excited to be part of THIS blog hop celebrating THIS new release from Simon Says Stamp. This release has some fantastic slimline stencils and I used them to create a few slimline foiled backgrounds…
For the first card…
I applied the Thermoweb Transfer Gel Blanco paste through the Slimline Sun Rays stencil on a yellow slimline panel. After it was dry, I laid gold foil on top and ran it through my laminator. I stamped and colored the images from the Hibiscus Blooms stamp set with Zig Real Brush Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set in the center of the sun. I added lots of sparkle and shine with a shimmer pen to the flower image.
Here’s a closer look…
For the second card…
I did the same process but applied the paste through the Slimline Organic Dots stencil on a kraft slimline panel. Once dry, I added a champagne color foil on top and added heat with my laminator. I stamped and colored the images from the Cup of Love stamp set and used brown ink for the solid coffee area. I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the same stamp set on a stitched banner. I added glaze on top of the coffee for some shine.
Here’s a closer look…
For the last card…
I repeated the process but this time I used the Slimline Floral Builder stencil. I also cut pieces of foil to add color to the flowers. I added raindrops to the background using the Large Raindrop Stencil. I also added the Rainy Days die as well as a printed sentiment strip to finish off the design.
Here’s a closer look…
I hope this inspires you to try adding some foil to your next card.
Don’t have a laminator? No worries. Thermoweb also makes a paste that can add foil with no heat, just the pressure of your die-cutting machine. It’s called Transfer Gel DUO and you can find that HERE.

Wow! You went all out. Who wouldn’t with all the fun new products. I really love the blue and purple birthday card. I can remember owning a xylophone when I was a child. Pulled that instrument around and happily banged on it. It probably drove mama out of her mind.
