Hi! Today I am having fun with foil. I created 3 foiled backgrounds and then turned them into cards. Foiled backgrounds make an interesting background and since you have all tha shine there you really don’t have to do a lot with your focal points. It always take your cards into the next level.

  1. Love the foil! My favorite is the floral design, but the waves are great as well.
    I just received my foiling system, but am a little intimidated with the process. You made it look easy, so I think I will dive in and give it a try.

  2. Beautiful shine on all the cards. It really makes a statement. I would love to receive one of these cards. Who wouldn’t !! Thanks for sharing and “God Bless”

  3. I have been a bit intimidated with my foiling machine – but you inspire me to get it out and get busy. Love all the cards you showcased today.

  4. Great cards Vicki, love foil. I have had no experience with it yet and I don’t know if I could afford the heating platform but there is foil out there that you only need a sticky surface, so I am now going to try that, thank you for inspiration Vicki. Have a lovely day. Stay well.

  5. I just love your cards! I have the Glimmer Hot Foil system but I have trouble getting good results. Whenever you use this in a video you inspire me to give it another try. Perhaps I just need more practice. Thanks for the inspiration Vicky!

  6. I learned so much about my Glimmer Foil system,, which I rarely use because I have bad luck with it. I never thought of using Washi Tape to hold the pieces exactly where I want them. Now I have lots of time with this pandemic going on to try my Glimmer Foil system again!
