Foil Magic is an instant WOW to cardmaking, and this week the Taylored Expressions team is showcasing beautiful new foil designs, and a fabulous Magic Shim that works in conjunction with your Minc or Mini Minc to evenly distribute heat and transfer flawless foil to your card fronts and sentiment panels.
I’m starting with the Daisy Dreams Foil It and coordinating stencils. The foiling was done in Pewter, and it was super easy to add color with Blender Brushes and inks through the stencil.
I stacked two foiled panels, one color with stencil ink and one plain underneath for a telescope effect. My layers are cut with Mini Slim Stacklet dies and accented with the Stitched Stacklet dies. After my panel was complete, I spattered some white across the front for texture and added foiled sentiments.
So excited to introduce the newest innovation from Taylored Expressions: the Foil Magic Shim! Take the stress out of foiling and achieve high-quality results with this new tool. Made from a flexible epoxy laminate, the shim conducts the heat of your foiling machine directly to your foil and cardstock to ensure smooth and consistent foiling results.
Look for short demo video on the TE blog and YouTube channel for the Foil Magic Shim as well!
You make the world a better place! You do!
Here my illustrated Sketchbook Bouquet floral pattern makes it’s Foil It debut. The flowers were foiled with Pewter foil and are colored with OLO Marker, and then a blender brush and coordinating stencil make fast work of ink blending the Cookie Monster colored background.
It’s easy to add impact and interest to a flat card without bulk when you use a gel pen and metallic watercolor to splatter and dress it up!
