To say I’m in love with the Heidi Swapp Minc Mini machine would be an understatement!  I haven’t stopped using it since I got it and absolutely LOVE how it has opened up so many possibilities for creating truly personalised cards that look like they came from a shop!

The cards I’m sharing today were a last minute request from my son Dan last night.  He asked for 3 cards for his music teachers – no other teachers, just the music ones!  He respects and admires them so much and wanted to give them a card and a little gift for Christmas (thanks for the one days’ notice though son!!).  I thought it would be nice to give them a musical theme so found a free file on the web with sheet music and printed one of my favourite pieces, Carol Of The Bells onto some vellum using a laser printer.  I fitted 4 to a sheet and ran two through my Minc with silver foil and 2 with gold.  I die cut some foliage using the Memory Box berry twig die and a couple of the new foliage dies from My Favourite Things.  The sentiment was printed again using a laser printer – I downloaded the free fonts and just typed the sentiment I wanted!!

I have lots more foiled cards to share – still churning out last minute ones – never really have enough!!

Thanks for stopping by xxx
