Snowflake winter holiday card making with laminator Deco foiling for shimmer and shine

This large snowflake holiday greeting card was made using stamps, a preheated laminator and Deco foil for shimmer.


Hey friends. Welcome to my blog.  I’m Gaylynn.  We don't get snow here in Florida, but I can make snow cards. This is a large snowflake on a winter holiday card. It was made using stamps, a laminator and Deco foil for the shimmer. I used stamps by Unity Stamp Company. See the details, short video and the supply list linked below.

Here is the short video.




Helpful Tips:

  1. Preheat a laminator at the highest setting for at least five minutes before foiling.

  2. I recommend you test this process using a small stamp before moving on to larger ones.

  3. Prep dark blue cardstock with a powder or antistatic pouch to prepare for heat embossing.

  4. Stamp the large snowflake and the sentiment onto 2 pieces of dark blue smooth cardstock, using embossing or watermark ink.

  5. Add clear fine embossing powder over the stamping and then heat emboss the snowflake and sentiment using a heat tool.

  6. Trim the sentiment and the snowflake panels.

  7. Trim a frame layer in darker blue cardstock.

  8. Trim a large piece of Deco foil (not hot foil) to cover both the snowflake and the sentiment panels.

  9. Sandwich the snowflake and the sentiment panels and top with a piece of silver transfer sheet of deco foil (pretty side up), all between a carrier sheet or parchment paper.

  10. Run the sandwich through a preheated laminator to set the foil. Then, remove the foil to reveal the shimmer.

  11. Optional: Decorate with splatters or tiny pearls for accents.

  12. Adhere the layers and the sentiment over the card base.





This is another look at the completed card.
Sentiment: Here's to the wonder of winter and the warmth of the holidays.
