Hello, Gaylynn here. Card foiling is double the fun by using negative foiling for a second card. Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing two cards using toner card fronts with foil and a laminator. I go an extra step to show a way to use the negative of the first foiling plus added double foiling.
Making a set of foiled cards is easier using negative foiling. An added bonus is double foiling. Here is a look at how it is done.
Sentiments:
Wishing you beautiful things.
A mother’s love is measured in timeless moments.
Here is the moth toner card front with the first foiling pass using a gold shattered glass foil sheet.
Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for making this card set using negative foiling. To begin, pre-trim or die-cut the toner card fronts and the black toner sheet to desired sizes. Also, stamp, color and prepare sentiment tags for each of the cards. Next, preheat your laminator. Then, trim one gold foil sheet and one purple foil sheet a little larger than the panels that you are foiling on. And, have a carrier sheet ready, like a smooth folded piece of parchment paper. Next, sandwich the toner card front face up and then the gold foil sheet pretty side up between the parchment paper. Then, run this sandwich through the hot laminator and then gently remove the gold foil. Next, repeat the process but use a black toner sheet plus the negative of the gold. You should get a gold background with the moths in black. If you want the moths another color, foil once more using purple or another color. Finally, assemble the cards, to finish.
Here is a second card made after using the negative of the first moth sheet along with an added third pass using negative foiling in purple foil.
Here is my video tutorial for this project. It will detail the full process.
