Ready for some elegant yet simple cards? Shaded Summer has a shabby chic vibe and since I was in the mood to make something metallic I came up with these cards! The fun here is heat embossing on foil sheets!
Fun (but random) fact: It was tricky photographing foil sheets so my cards are at an angle! Sorry! I'm not a professional photographer but I'll get better at pictures I promise! If you don't mind the angles... read on!
CARD MEASUREMENTS:
Foil Sheet Layer: 4 x 5-1/4"
Card Base: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2"
Sentiment Layer: 3/4 x 4"
TIPS FOR HEAT EMBOSSING ON FOIL SHEETS
- I recommend an anti static tool. I used an embossing buddy
- Be gentle with the foil sheet surface because it can scratch or mark easily
- If using a clear block then stamp straight up and down with VersaMark Ink so it doesn't slide around the foil
- The heat tool (depending on which one you use) may curl the foil sheet slightly as you emboss the powder. You can bend it back into place as it cools down
- Wait a few moments before touching the embossed images. Let cool
- Wipe away any residue from the anti static tool or powder (Anti static tool helps to keep the powder from sticking to anything other than the VersaMark ink)
- I recommend a stronger adhesive with specialty paper when adhering to card base like the foil sheets
- Place the adhesive on the card base and not the back of the foil sheet so you don't make impressions in the foil sheet
The look in the end is GORGEOUS! And the card layouts are simple. This stamp set is so versatile with all of the sentiment options as well. One card has a stamped background and the other a simple focal image.
