Hi, everyone! Don’t you just love the look of foil on cards and scrapbook pages? Teri here and I am going to show you today these Take Care Card Duo. These cards show you how to combine Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors, and Crafty Foam Tape 54ft. with embossing folders for a really fun, unique foiled (and textured) look!
Take Care Card Duo Background Design
Apply strips of Crafty Foam Tape 54ft. across several white cardstock panels. Trim any excess tape over the sides of the panels. Next, place your panels in embossing folders and run them through your die-cutting machine.
Designer’s Tip: You might want to try this out before actually making a project. Pick a variety of embossing folders to see what takes to the foam tape best. Also, a good time to adjust your machine’s plate sandwich to ensure a good pass-through!
After your panels are embossed, remove the release paper from one foam tape strip. Apply a piece of color foil (your choice) from Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Celebrate Colors, Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Nature Colors or Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets Pastel Colors on top of the exposed adhesive (color side facing you). Gently rub to transfer the color. Refoil in missed areas. Repeat this foiling process until each strip is covered.
Turn Your Panels Into Cards
First, die-cut sentiments with white cardstock, and its outline in vellum. Adhere them together with the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Dispenser. Pop up the sentiment with Crafty Foam Tape White 54ft and place them on the panels.
Add two gold corners from the Creative Photo Corners Mix Pack to opposite corners on each panel. Make sure they are nice and secure. Apply the E-Z Runner® Petite Permanent Dots Dispenser to white cardstock card bases and secure the embossed panels on top.
Finish your cards by adding a few small embellishments to them. Gems, sequins, and pearls all work well for this.
I hope you are inspired by today’s tutorial to give this Metallic Transfer Foil technique a try!
Happy Creating!
