I love that you just go for it. I waste so much time checking things out my energy and creative sparks gone before I get on with what I wanted to do. Your style has encouraged me to dive in and see what happens. I love seeing a true crafter at work. Thank you

I took a class from one of my favorite designers, and that was my biggest take away. Just go for it and if it is not perfect, it will still be perfectly fine! It was SOOO liberating. Not to say I no longer ever fuss and do the very things you are describing. LOL I do. :)

I’m thinking of doing this on small flat boxes ( a former student smoked a lot (🤮) and when I saw the boxes they came in, asked him to save them for me). They are the perfect size to cover in embossed foil ( sticky back paper the best) use alcohol ink and embellish. I’ve been making ornaments for friends and family for years and am in need of new and different ideas! Thank you for helping me with this year’s ornaments! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

Hi I’m a newbie to embossing but I used foil and put a double sided adhesive a4 sheet on the dull sided enough to cover the whole piece. Attach it to cardstock that you want to emboss and just peel off the other side and place it on the card you want to use.

Use contact paper instead of cardstock - matching colors/patterns or clear. Works like a charm!

This looks really nice, I've done this last year or maybe 2 years ago already, and when I saw you putting the foil/paper in the folder, I was talking to you: you are going to have glue coming out of it... you have to wait for the glue to dry..😀 I just recently purchased those exact same three bottles of alcohol inks, I haven't used them yet, but that is a great way of colouring the foil. Thanks for another great video!!

Can you please tell me where you got the beautiful medallion die? Are they also Tim Holtz? This aluminum trick is fantastic. I want to try using them on Christmas tree balls as decoration. 👏👏👏👍🏼👍🏼 Perhaps if I spray water on the cardstock side I can get them to bend enough to use on a styrofoam or plastic ball.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

A thought. You could use ‘plumber’s’ tape ( what my brother’s called it) . It’s a roll of tape that has a thin layer of real aluminum and is very sticky. I think it is heavier than kitchen foil. I use it a lot for various crafts.

@BirdNestBooks
@BirdNestBooks Жыл бұрын
I have found if you just glue it to the paper and let it fully dry it is perfect! I think if you use a thicker foil but have wet glue you are going to still have glue come through because of micro tears from the embossing. Have fun!

Glue did not sleep through the tinfoil. You applied it when you used the same card to smooth the glue out.

Hello! I bought them at Hobby Lobby, but you can get them from other crafting stores as well as from Amazon. These are Tim Holtz ones, but there are some that other companies make...I just don't remember the name/s. :) They can go through a normal machine. like a Sizzix.If you have something like a Cuttlebug (I think that is what it is called, they only do the thin dies or regular folders) I am not sure if they would work. I have never tried it though. I hope that helps!

Why don't you put some antique white wax over it? Or just some white paint rub it over top. Hit the hit the hotspots and it'll make it look really pretty if you do snowflakes. If you do the embossing with snowflakes that will look Beautiful with the hotspots. Yeah painted blue and then do white or glitter on it would be really pretty

I don't think the glue came through the foil, I think it was on the card that you used to smooth it out and when you smooth out the foil, you can see the streaks of glue on top.
