Hello. It’s Gaylynn with my Technique Time series. Today, I am showing a way to add foiling after heat embossing. I share a few tips to make adding foil more successful.
This is a great card for love occasions like anniversary, I love you, Valentine’s Day or just because. It can be used as a masculine card or for most anyone.
Sentiment: Love you.
Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for foiling after heat embossing, using a laminator. To begin, preheat your laminator at its highest setting. Then, pre-cut or trim background and flag layers. Also, precut the sentiment panel. Next, stamp with either a juicy VersaMark ink pad, a juicy and sticky dye ink pad or by adding dabs of deco foil transfer gel. If you stamped with a juicy ink pad, add embossing powder, then heat emboss the sentiment using a heat tool. Also, once the sentiment is set, cover the prepared sentiment panel with a trimmed piece of foil, pretty side up. Next, carefully, run them directly or with a carrier sheet through a preheated laminator, pretty side up. Allow to cool a bit, then remove the foil sheet. Another tip is to use a thinner paper or cardstock for foiling, the thinner the better. Finally, assemble the layers to finish.
