Lots of new Redhotbed / Michele Marsden sheets are now in store at Foil Play this weekend. These include new flitter glittered or foiled topper sheets like the one above.
Clutter - but with a difference! These Christmas sheets are die cut, and there are six designs available. Pop out the individual elements printed and layer up with 3D foam or silicone glue to produce the finished image. The sheet includes a plan which you can follow, if you wish - the plan can also be used as a topper.
Cute Christmas Waterfall designs - A4 die cut sheets designed to produce a waterfall effect for your Christmas cards, with foiled greetings and accents.

Each sheet is die cut, so no scissors are needed. A step by step instruction sheet with pictures will also be sent with all purchases of waterfall sheets.

Last but not least, a great selection of die cut foiled topper sheets, featuring a range of Christmas motifs.

Cards made by Corinne Bradd of Lets Make Cards magazine

Card designer Corinne Bradd made these gorgeous cards for a Foil Play advertisement in issue 18 of Lets Make Cards! magazine.

The right and middle cards above are made using Kanban Christmas foiled toppers. The card on the left above was made using a Kanban Christmas concept card.

For the card on the right below, Corinne has used foiling, glitters and ribbon to create a beautiful mixed texture card. The card on the left has a blue foiled stripe, topped with a foiled tree topper and foiled circles at the bottom of the card. Card Art greetings toppers complete both cards.

Foil Play DT challenge: a glittered card by Phree

Phree has produced this gorgeous glittered card for the Foil Play Design Team Challenge.

The tree topper is printed from the Artylicious Season's Greeting CD and Phree glittered the trees and the stamped greeting using a Sakura Quickie glue pen and green ultra fine art glitter. She also used a few tiny spots of Star Dust Stickles to enhance the falling snowflakes on the topper.

Phree mounted the topper onto some green Mirri card and chose some icy blue shimmery card, which she stamped with metallic snowflakes to make the main card.

Check out Phree's inspirational blog for a detailed step by step explanation of how she made this card, and many more beautiful projects.

Thank you, Phree!

Foil Play DT challenge: foiled and glittered cards by Marzipan

Here are some beautiful foiled and glittered cards produced by Marzipan of the Craft Telly forum, for the Foil Play Design Team challenge.

The corners of the card above are decorated with snowflakes punched from double sided self adhesive film and foiled with silver holographic rub on foil. The gorgeous centrepiece of the card has been created by paper folding - check out Marzipan's Craft Telly workshop on paper folding.
The tree on the card above was stamped using black Versafine ink, and the outline of the branches traced with a Sakura Quickie glue pen. Marzipan then sprinkled on crystal holographic ultra fine art glitter, to look like snow.
The star on the tree in the card above was covered in holographic crystal ultra fine art glitter to make it sparkle.

Thank you, Marzipan!
