Rubber Stamping & Heat Embossing With Foil
Week #2 of the Deco Foil Series was so awesome! I have wondered about all the foiling products on the market and how best to use them. It's so great to find a video that will walk you through each question.

If I can use Deco Foil Adhesives through a stencil, can I also use a stamp to create an image to attach the foil too?
Yes, apply a small amount of Deco Foil Adhesive to your craft mat and spread evenly. Use it like an inked stamp pad and stamp your image onto your piece of cardstock. Apply foil, always shiny side up!

Will foiling work over ink?
Yes! The Hampton Arts 'Joy' Stamp Set was used to show how flowers were stamped with a solid color. Then a second stamp was used to add detail by applying Adhesive and then foiling!
Will Aileene's Tack-It Over & Over Adhesive work like the Deco Foil Adhesive on the stamps as well?
Yes! Just like the stencils, you MUST have a tub of sudsy water near you or rinse your stamps immediately after use to get the Adhesive off quickly.

But I don't have a laminator!
Not a problem! As in WEEK #1: Simple and Easy Foiling Techniques, smooth, even pressure worked very well. The Cuttlebug was used this week as well and with satisfying results! Many techniques can be done without the use of a laminator.

Do I have to have a Heidi Swap Minc Machine in order to add foil to my cards?
We are positive the Minc Machine does what it was built to do but is there an alternative? Yes. An inexpensive laminator, like the one used from Amazon, works the same as a Minc Machine.

To protect your project and the machine, it is suggested that you put the item to be foiled inside a 'carrier' sheet. Kitchen parchment paper folded in half works perfectly. A piece of regular copy paper folded in half works fine as well. Simply tuck your paper and foil inside the carrier and slowly feed the folded side into the machine first.
Now, what do I do with these beautiful foiled pieces?
Cut them apart as embellishments or use them as a background, chose which best fits the type of card you are making. Even bold sentiments can be stamped, foiled and cut into a label or banner.

A little planning ahead of time will help conserve foil. Don't feel you have to plan right down to how many leaves you want but it is great to have the leaves ready, at hand, if you wish.

Go through supplies you have at home and try some of the cool techniques you see done on the video! Maybe some will work better for you than others.
