Masculine Birthday

I'm joining a new challenge this week.  The group is called Cardz 4 Guys.

I just opened my SU! newest delivery and I had this Stamp set that I was so excited to try: Circle Celebration 

I continue to try foiling and still seem to run into problems.  I am using good quality foil, I have a laser printer, and I wait until the laminator gets hot.  I still don't get perfect results. Any tips are appreciated.

I used Blueberry Bushel- a retired SU! color because my Pacific Point seems to be all dried up.  I think Pacific Point (SU!) would give the similar colored look.  I also used silver embossing powder for the stars and starbursts.
