The story of the Deco Foil.
When Hobby Lobby was going through there major paper crafting clearance time not long ago I found two rolls of Deco Foil for $1.25 and had to have them...never mind i had no idea what to do with them!
While looking through MFT Stamps website I found a deco foil adhesive pen and bought it.
When the “metal” challenge came up I thought this would work.
The base card is white linen card stock.
The large gold circle was made by cutting out a circle with a piece of double back tape.
I removed one side and placed it on a piece of gold Deco Foil.
I ran it through the BigShot with no dies and removed the excess.
Now I placed it on the card front.
The black card stock strip is stamped with a verse from MFT Stamps “Secret Santa” using Versmark ink and heat embossed with Old Town Crafts, Inc “white jewels embossing powder”.
On a piece of white card stock I stamped the elf from MFT Stamps “Santa’s Elves” with StazOn jet black ink and colored him with Prisma pencils.
Using the Deco Foil pen I applied the glue to the circles on the elf and then the gold Deco Foil.
After trimming him out with scissors I applied him to the card front with glue dots.
Love your gold foil accents. Such a cute card with shine from the foil. I also bought a whack of thermal foil and I don't have a laminator. I use it the same way you did. Works great! :) Thanks for sharing your card with us at CAS Mix Up!
