It's time to give you a pretty little nudge to remind you to join us at the CAS Mix Up Challenge!! If you've already joined us, why not make another? The CAS Mix Up team made a second round of gorgeous foiled cards - you can find them all here.
We're foiling in October - and I had a second round of success, yay! This time I tried foiling a sheet of paper with double sided sticky paper AND a piece of designer paper from EH made for foiling, as the design is printed with foil-friendly toner ink!
stamped sentiment + foiled paper two ways + die cut
Here's how it came together:
- Apply a double sided sticky sheet to a piece of heavy cardstock [I used Neenah 110#] remove one backer, top with a sheet of silver foil, run through Minc machine
- Cut the sentiment from that foiled piece
- Cut a rectangle from a quarter sheet of designer toner paper with an MFT Wonky Rectangle
- foil with aqua foil
