This is my 2nd and 3rd card made with my new Minc Foiling machine machine (see below for links)


This is the design sheet i used for both cards you can find it here on the website -https://shop.obyd.co.uk/b/bupqk


I resized it using my printer settings and printed it onto my laser printer and foiled with Rose Gold Heidi Swapp Foil (see below for links)




If you would like to watch the video on youtube so you can see a larger screen you can find the video here:

The cardblank was made by folding a sheet of 300gsm super smooth Craft UK card in half to make a A5 Card.

The card on the left was matted and layered onto a beautiful Spellbinders Die Cut Panel with Mirror card behind it

I used some ribbon under the foiled panel and some flat back pearls for the corners of the card

A pretty little embellishment was added just to give it a touch of elegance.

That is about it really..

Super simple and easy to make


The Card on the Right.. is even simpler.. i coloured the butterfly in using some pastel alcohol markers.

Added some ribbon and a gem


I have tried to link to as many of the products as possible for you so you can see what i use.. there is a Minc Category and a Cardmaking basics - cardblanks, adhesives, embellishments etc..


I often get asked what tools, equipment and accessories i use so to make things easier to find i have created an Amazon store front for the products i use in my videos, classes and tutorials.

  Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received! I’ve had so many lovely comments, questions, and private messages about how I created the flowers — thank you so much 💙 It has got to the point where it’s just physically impossible to reply to everyone individually, so I thought the easiest (and most helpful!) way would be to put everything together here in a blog post for you.
