A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

For My Best Friend

The Day of the Month Card Club wants us to celebrate Best Friend Day by making a card for our best friend.


My best friend's favourite colour is blue so I used blue foil.  I put the Transfer Gel through the stencil, let it dry for a bit as per the instructions, laid the bright blue foil on it, and ran it through the laminator.

Peeling it off to reveal what is left on the cs is quite wonderful. And it is so shiny! Hard to capture in a photo.

I added a sentiment (unknown - it's been in my stash for years). Then trimmed the panel and bordered it with black shimmer paper.

    What a spectacular result you achieved with that method of foiling! I never had any luck with the gel. This looks amazing and the sentiment is one of the most beautiful fonts I’ve seen. Your friend will LOVE this card as I do.
