Ahhh, Valentine season – hearts and flowers, reds and pinks! I love crafting for this holiday. Today I am sharing a cute monochromatic card with a Transfer Foils accent.
Let’s get started.
Gather:
- Transfer Foils – Red
- Best Glue Ever
- White (smooth) Cardstock Base (8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ – scored at 4-1/4″ and folded)
- Red Patterned Cardstock (4″ x 5-1/4″)
- Red Ink
- Chipboard Heartbeat Symbol
- Red Acrylic Paint
- Hearts Dew Drop
Make it:
- Start by inking the edges of your red patterned paper in red
- Using Best Glue Ever, attach patterned paper to card base (remember, you only need a small amount of BGE to get good adhesion!)
- Smooth and press patterned paper to card base with Perfect Cleaning Cloth
- Put a coat of red acrylic paint on chipboard heartbeat symbol, let dry thoroughly
To apply Transfer Foil:
- Spread a thin layer of Best Glue Ever on chipboard and let dry TO CLEAR (it will be tacky)
- Place Transfer Foil (color side up) on your chipboard with glue and press and rub with your finger or a craft stick, remove foil sheet
- Glue heartbeat symbol to card
- Glue Hearts Dew Drop to card using Embellie Gellie for precise placement

Look at that lush metallic coverage!

- To finish off card, stamp a heart inside
- And don’t forget to “sign” the back of your card
- Tapping the Perfect Crafting Pouch on your paper before stamping helps to get a nice crisp image!
Thanks for stopping by the blog today – After seeing how easy this technique is, I hope you are inspired to try the beautiful Transfer Foils to add a bit of “WOW” to your craft projects!
Have a creative week!
