Happy New Year Cards + Video
Hi everyone! It’s Ardyth here today and I’m making the same card twice, so that I can compare two methods of adding shine to a card using a stencil.
I started by blending two panels with blue and black inks to create a night sky. I trimmed the panels with the stitched rectangle die from Stitched Notes.
Here’s a video with lots of tips for inlaying die cuts and a comparison of the two ‘foiling’ methods!

I used the Happy New Year Script die and cut it out from the 2 blue panels, as well as twice from white cardstock, so I could inlay the white die cuts into the blue panels.
When the inlaying was complete, I used the Fireworks stencil on both panels – one with Deco Foil Transfer Gel and Foil (with my Minc machine) and one with Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era.
The results of both cards were really pretty, but you may prefer one or the other. Glacier paste gives a beautiful shine in one step, with no machine involved. The foil leaves more of a mirror shine and it’s a slightly warmer tone of gold.
I hope you have a great 2020. Thanks for stopping by!
I think I like the Glacier Paste better… also I don’t think I would use this technique enough to bring myself to buy another machine. Would it work with a laminator? Great video and thanks for the tips.
Really Gorgeous cards!!! Happy New Year to everyone at PPP!!
Beautiful card
I never tried the paste before but would love to try it
I don’t know which one is better, I think they are both fab! Happy New Year and the gold looks great either way it you ask me!!! I think what I really dig is the bold, black, background, it makes such a great impact on the card!
