I’m super excited to share my card with you today. I’m bursting out of the seams with excitement. You want to know why? Well, check it out:
(Photographing this technique was a bit of a challenge because when I stood the card up the foil looked black so I had to lie it down.)
Yes, Foiling!!! I did some foiling!! It was super easy after I got the hang of it!! I messed up a couple of pieces of cardstock but what is perfection without errors!!!!
My first mistake was putting the foil on my image upside down. LOL!!! I ran it throught the laminator a bunch of times and couldn’t figure out what to do. Then it dawn on me to turn the up face side up!!
Magic!!! I ran it thought the laminator a couple of times to make sure I was doing it right and BAM!!! It was!!
Now I need every color they own. Especially since I bought a laser printer and laminator just for this technique!! Don’t judge me!!!! I’m addicted to crafts.
So how did I create my card:
1. I printed my Hero Arts Special Birthday Digital image and sentiment from my new Brother Laser Printer. There is a newer model to this printer but I didn’t need up to date since I will just use it to foil.
2. I cut my Deco Foil sheet to fit the size of my sentiment and image. I place each piece on top of the sentiment and images, gold side up and ran it through my Royal Sovereign 9-inch Laminator. I used regular printer paper to run my cardstock through the laminator.
Note: a2z Scrapbooking will carry the Heidi Swapp Foil which has gold and silver on one sheet!
3. I attached my foil cardstock to my black card base and that was it!!
Super duper easy. What do you think? Will you try foiling now?

the card is beautiful. I kind of liked the half black/gold too. Made a different kind of statement.
I haven’t tried the foiling with machine. I have the foil to glue down but haven’t tried it either.
