Card foiling 2 ways ~ Heat and Pressure Techniques

  Hello.  Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing card foiling two ways on two cards.  This is a new and easy way to transfer foil onto card panels, with or without stamping.

Sentiments:

Happy Birthday
and
Congrats on your happy day.

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

These cards were pre-stamped and colored with room for added foiled sentiments.  Using card foiling two ways adds the perfect touch to this set of floral cards.

This birthday card was foiled using pressure from my die-cutting and embossing machine with the same plates as for wafer thin dies.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips to create using card foiling two ways using sentiment adhesive style foil transfer sheets.  First, prepare two stamped card panels, leaving room for adding the foil sentiments.  Then, cut out all of the sentiments you want to foil from the Therm-O-Web transfer sheet.  Also, preheat a laminator and have your die-cutting machine handy with the same plates used for wafer thin dies.  Next, add foiling to each stamped panel in two ways noted below.

Pressure foiling:  Remove the film from the back of the sentiment, place the sentiment on the panel, gently rubbing it in place.  Then, sandwich between parchment paper and between the die-cutting machine plates.  Run through the die-cutting machine.  Then gently remove the top film.  Finally, place the trimmed foil pieces over the adhesive transfer and run through the die-cutting machine again to set the foil using pressure.

Heat foiling:  Remove the film from the back of the sentiment, place the sentiment on the panel, gently rubbing it in place.  Then, sandwich between parchment paper.  Run this through a preheated hot laminator.  Then gently remove the top film.  Finally, place the trimmed foil pieces over the adhesive transfer and run through the hot laminator once more to set the foil using heat.

Here is my congratulations card with foiling using heat from a preheated hot laminator.
