Foiling after heat embossing tutorial ~ Love You Card.

Hi, it's Gaylynn.  For Technique Time at Unity, I am showing a way to add laminator foiling after heat embossing.  I share a few tips to make adding foil more successful.

Sentiment:  Love you.

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.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
