Foiled Leaf 'Thankful' Fall Card

 I'm really in love with the Pink and Main 'Autumn Splendor' Foilable Sheets. I guess it's because when I think of autumn all I can see are pumpkins and leaves...LOL!  Anyway, together with my Minc machine I was able to make a panel of foiled leaves. With the leftover used foil piece I made another panel running a Fall Ombre panel through the Minc machine.  It is this panel that I used to make this card. I love the muted fall colored background with the shiny bright leaves.  Using my Hero Arts Autumn Leaves Fancy Die on the foiled panel, I cut a window.  I made a little bag of confetti (foiling leaf pieces) and adhered it behind the window.  (Heiko cello bags work better with the foil leaves than zip bags which have too much static. If I decide to use foiling pieces again, I will add small beads to the bag so that there will be more movement within the bag.)  

The panel with the confetti window was attached to a gold foil card blank and a 'Thankful' green ribbon glued at an angle. It was hard to photograph this very shiny card, but I hope you can see how lovely it is to shake the confetti within the leaf window.  I didn't photograph it, but on the inside of the card I glued the leaf that was die cut from the front. The HA leaf die cuts out veins in the leaf so it looks delicate and realistic.

The first foiled panel was large enough to cut two tags.  It was easy-peasy to make the tags using the Hero Arts Infinity Nesting Tag Dies.  My favorite part of making tags is finding just the right yarn or ribbons for the ties.  I'm very pleased with what I found in my stash and 'grateful' for being a hoarder. Hahaha!  If you are a crafter then you are probably a hoarder, too! Take pride in your crafty habits and make beautiful things for everyone. Celebrate Autumn!
