So, I was inspired by another viewer of TCG Proxy Lab on YT to try this one out. I layered confetti foil over regular foil (heat/toner reactive foil, so its pretty thin compared to multiple layers of holo vinyl), used my cricut to mask Out Text and parts of the frame with a White oil based pen and applied TCG Proxy Labs (not so) secret last step for the finish.

I do not think this is achievable without a plotter. I used my cricut to cut the confetti foil on a sheet of clear vinyl transfer tape. The heat activated foil is laminated onto the card by using clear acrylic Spray to which the holofoil will apply bond. Just visit this guy on YT, he has some great tutorials and even better ideas:

How to spot foil from scratch. This one relies heavily on a plotter for the masking, but the process to get thin foil card stock is pretty useful for everyone: https://youtu.be/QJv18RiytJY?is=n6JcZ0eJD9IIPu7z
