Hello Kitty Gets Foiled

Last Saturday was the 8th birthday of my Hello Kitty lovin' youngest DGD.  Like her older sister, Miss G asked for gift cards and I was happy to agree since who knows what is tucked away in their closets and toy boxes?

I cut a couple of little purse gift card holders from SVG Cuts 'Luxury Handbags' in pearlized paper and trimmed them to fit inside the clutch purse.  Looking through the Hello Kitty carts for something to embellish the card holders, the idea of a foiled Kitty popped in my head.

I selected an outline of Kitty holding a heart and placed it on my canvas.  I changed the color to black and then flattened.  I printed Kitty out on my laser printer and cut the outline with my Explore.  Carefully, I moved the outline into the carrier and added the dots for the nose and eyes.  Using a pretty pink foil, I ran it through the Minc and adhered it to the card holder.   How cute is that?






  And the inside:-





For my second image, I chose Kitty holding a flower.  I added the flower centers as the image looked unfinished without them.






Here's Miss G's little purse made from Recollections glitter card stock, which although sturdy, is very difficult to adhere together even with scor tape!  (I ended up using a ton of glue dots.)






Hope you had a lovely birthday, Gabby!  : )  Grandma Christine

  1. Just fabulous. I know Jennifer McGuire did Hello Kitty Valentines and didn't mention the "eyes" I have to go find that and see what she did. I swear it was a stamp or she printed it on her laser printer and foiled it.

  2. I'm back - yep, she found the same image with the heart online and printed it on her laser printer and foiled it. It's at the end of her video called Easy Gold Foil.
