Foiling Techniques!
Hi everyone, it’s Shari here with some fun foiling techniques to use on your cards.
I thought I’d take this opportunity to show you a few was to use thermal foils from Thermo Web and Heidi Swapp with a laminating machine ( I used my small Minc) and a quick non thermal technique with a glue stick.
My first example uses thermal foiling. Thermal foiling is a process of using a reactive foil with a heating element machine such as a laminator or Heidi Swapps Minc machine.
I was thrilled when I found Toner Sheets from Thermo Web where I could use my die cuts and foils! Talk about exciting! This card also uses a double foiling technique and some black foil on a die cut.
Have you tried foiling with a glue stick to create a quick background? It’s really easy! For this I used the regular Vintage Foil from Ranger.
I also traced the circles of a stencil with the Heidi Swapp Minc toner pen to create a background on a die cut heart.
I have put together a video explaining how to use a laminating machine and also show you how to do that quick glue stick and foil background. You can watch the video below or on our YouTube channel.

Great cards! ;-)
Enjoyed this post
Gorgeous cards! I didn’t know you could use foils with a glue stick -I was given some foils a while back that I’ve never used so I’m gonna give that a go :)
Love that you shared all the different ways to use foiling, Shari! So fun and the cards are gorgeous! ♥
Fabulous techniques – thanks for breaking it down so simply for us! Beautiful cards too!
Awesome. Cool cards. Michelle t
I love foil so thanks for the tips and techniques
Foiling looks so much elegant, I definitely have to try this (new to me) technique.
Oh my gosh, I need a Minc.
Beautiful cards. Thanks for showing both methods, fun to see them side by side.
So elegant looking
Love all that layering and dimension!
Ok Shari…the enabler…I so didnt want to get on the foiling bandwagon. I was scared that the foil would scratch and look ugly. You say is does Not scratch…so therefore, I’m changing my mind in this new year 2016. I want my foiling bandwagon to drop me off in front of Hobby Lobby or Joanns or even Michaels. My birthday is next month and the mind machine will be on my birthday wish list for the hubs. Lucky me.
Oh these cards look fantastic with the neutral shades, and loving the scripted and die cut letters, pretty cards.
Love this layered look with lots of different techniques used!
Awesome!! Love it!!

Beautiful cards. I love how the heart turned out!! I’ve resisted the foiling urge, but I expect I’ll be wanting to try it really soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

Oops. So that I can do this!
Ready to splurge on a Minc, seeing these cards has finally convinced me:-) Now just waiting for the mini to get back in stock!!
I do love foil & your cards are so artistic & beautiful! Currently my favorite technique is foil with self-adhesive foam.
