I love a bit of sparkle, especially when it adds a touch of texture too!

I finally got around to trying out a foiling technique that Jamie Pate showed on her Instagram. It involved foliage and sparkle, so it went straight on to my to try list. But you know, life gets in the way and some things just get pushed down on the to do list and much to my chagrin, this was one of them. 

To create this tag set, I cut out some tags using the Carta Bella Home Again stitched tags die set out of a few colors from the Scrapbook.com A2 peppermint smooth cardstock pad (which is today's freebie over at Scrapbook.com!!!). I also used their new sprigs die set. These leaves and flowers are so delicate and pretty and I of course used my magic mat and mint tape to cut them out with so I got nice clean cuts each time. 

I then prepped my foil sheet in the way that Jamie showed, using a Scrapbook.com double sided adhesive sheet to adhere my copper foil flakes to. I love that this technique adds texture to the foil sheet! I then cut out several sprigs and then used a star punch to cut out three stars from the copper foil sheet. 

I then assembled my tags, using smart glue to glue the sprigs down in a cluster on the tag. I Used a few foam squares to pop the star up  and then added a few Pinkfresh jewels and a rose gold sticker from one of my old Scrapbook.com sticker books (I've purchased a few of the new ones, but I'm determined to use up these old ones as much as possible before handing it over to my niece to play with.) 

Finally added a little bit of baker's twine to the tag. Super simple and super cute! And these can be used for unconventional Christmas colors, birthday gifts or a just because gift! And don't forget to head over to Jamie's Instagram if you haven't already to show her some love on that post! Until next time, happy crafting!
