Hi everyone! Diana here today sharing a fun junk journal page. I've had this Dina Wakely journal form a while now and wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it. I had it and some Rinea foil out on my table and thought why not!

I started by adding some clear gesso to the page to help the different mediums stick and to protect the back side of the journal page. 

Once I spread that over the page and let it dry I pulled out the colors of foil from the misfits pack and started to tear strips.

Over the top of each layer of foil I added I used distress collage medium to adhere them to the page.

Once I had all the foiled pieces where I wanted I started adhering down some tissue paper saying squares. I did trim some down as I didn't want them to completely cover the foiled areas 

I really like the idea of mixed media projects but never seem to know where to go with them. I just started adding different things like spray inks and embossing glaze to add dimension and color without adding tons of bulk. I used a number stencil and ink spray for my next step.

I then added some distress embossing glaze to the wet sprayed areas and embossed them. Being careful not to burn the tissue paper or foiled areas.

I absolutely love how it turned out! I can't wait to start using other products that I have to add to this journal book!

Supplies:

Rinea Foil: misfits pack

FATHER'S DAY APRON CARD

 

Hi everyone! Diana here to share a fun card using Rinea earth tones variety pack and Honey Bee stamps and dies.. I was in need of a Father's Day card, so I made this fun BBQ apron card. 

I started by die cutting the apron pieces from Rinea foiled paper and the accessories from white cardstock. 

I then adhered all the pieces to the background cardstock panel that I stamped in two different shades of green/blue and inked the edges with the darker of the two.

I then started coloring all of my accessories with my copic markers. For the utensils I used the same three shades of grey. I used two shades of brown for the bristles. (I now realize I should have moved my glass mat).

I wanted to add some additional color so I added a catsup and mustard bottle. 

Next I stamped, heat embossed, and die cut the main sentiment for my card.

Finally it's time to put the whole card together!

Here's the completed card!

Rinea: Earth Tones Variety Pack

Honeybee: apron die, apron bbq dies, kiss the cook stamps/dies

FOR YOU! FOILED RAINBOW

 Hi everyone! Diana here today to share a fun card I made using Rinea foils and a rainbow die. 

I was going though my dies trying to decide what I wanted to create for this weeks post. I haven't done any rainbows, like, ever. So why not start! I love how the Rinea foils make a perfect rainbow. 

I started by choosing five different foil colors from the starstruck designs (these came out of my misfit packs). Once I had them picked I started cutting them out one by one. I loved seeing this rainbow on my work table. 

You can make several different cards with the amount of pieces you get out. I then cut a white set so I could have the border for my rainbow. I followed the natural rainbow order for this card. 

Once all the foiled die cut pieces were added in I trimmed out the excess from the end and adhered it to my card base. the last step was to find the perfect sentiment. 

I used the color block rainbow die and modern messages stamp set both from Pink Fresh Studio. 

I hope you like this card and it gives you some inspiration to create your own rainbows.

Supplies:

Rinea: misfit packs, gold/gold starstruck, violet/violet starstruck, sapphire/sapphire starstruck, marigold/marigold starstruck, emerald/emerald starstruck, ruby/ruby startstruck

TULIP LOVE FOILED CARD

 

Hi everyone! Diana here to share a fun spring card using pastels variety pack. 

It's been so cold this last month that I knew I wanted to create a fun spring card. I pulled out some dies and started cutting out my main focal point, the flowers.

I used all three colors in the variety pack to create the flowers. Using the colors and different textures really gave some dimension to them.

Then I used a gradient cardstock set in green meadow colors from Altenew to create the leaves and stems. Here I'm starting to adhere all the pieces together. 

I wanted my flowers and sentiment to pop so I used a fun cover plate in white and layered in onto a white card base. Once I had that put together I started adding my flowers. 

To finish off the card I die cut out the love sentiment and adhered it on the lower right hand corner. I decided not to add any other embellishments as I wanted my foiled flowers to be the center of attention. 

I hope you'll give this fun easy card a go! 

Supplies: 

Rinea Foiled Paper: Variety: Pastels

Other supplies:

Altenew: green meadows gradient cardstock set, script words dies, the right angle cover plate. craft-a-flower: tulip dies

FUN VINTAGE CARDS WITH RINEA FOIL AND TIM HOLTZ

   

Hi everyone! Diana here with a fun vintage style card. Make sure to go all the way to the end as I have a second card as an extra project for you.

I started this fun card by embossing my gold/gold foiled paper with a 3-d embossing folder by Tim Holtz. I haven't used one of these before and have to say I love how, with the foil, it added a bit of vintage appeal with the texture. 

    

To make this panel more sturdy I did adhere it to a piece of white cardstock cut to 3 1/2" x4 1/2". I cut my card base out of vanilla cardstock and used vintage photo distress ink on the edges. I then cut a dark red panel and adhered it to the base. 

    

After I had all my base card elements put together I pulled out a bunch of different ephemera pieces and started choosing my design pieces. While I did this I decided to add a 1/2" strip of copper/copper foiled paper to the left side. 

    

I also distressed the edges of all my flower elements with the vintage photo distress ink. 

    

    

And here is my bonus card. Truth be told, I made this one first and then realized I had NO pictures!! So, I made this second one. I love both of them but this one is my favorite.

Hi everyone! Diana here today with a fun mixed media layout using Rinea foil, paint, embossing paste and some good old fashioned paper punches. 

I found this old pic of my oldest son with his Grandma and Great Grandma on his 5th birthday and knew I needed to create a layout with this treasure. We've lost both in the past 10 years so this is such a special gift. 

I started my layout by cutting this great title cutout from the sillouette design store. I then glued it down to my foil and started cutting it out. I then prepare my background cardstock by adding white gesso.

I left this to dry. Once it was I picked out a fun confetti stencil, embossing paste, and a fun yellow ink refill to create texture on my background.

  

I then smeared it on my background through the stencil. I moved it around three times. After it dried I realized there just wasn't as much color as I was hoping for.

  

I pulled out some yellow/gold paint and added some water. This paint has such a great shimmer to it. I started adding it over some of the embossed background. I then did some splatter with what I had remaining on the pallet.

I pulled out some of my "birthday" themed punches and some different patterned papers and started punching different shapes. I then adhered my title and picture down. 

Here are some close ups of my finished layout with all the elements added on. 

I love the how shiny the foiled paper is. Really adds a little more pizazz to my layout. 

I used two different patterned papers under my photo as well as some gold foiled paper with a torn edge to give some texture. 

This is the first time I've used a cut file like this on a layout and i must say I am hooked! I can't wait to cut some more and see what comes of them!!

Supplies:

Cobalt/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

balloon, tag, and pennant paper punches, paint, water, embossing paste, confetti background stencil, patterned paper.
