Here's how to create Valentine's Day Cards with Foil:

STEP ONE

I always start out with a blank piece of printer paper and a pencil to sketch my designs. Since this was a set of cards, I folded the paper in half and then in half again, which gives me the correct size for an A2 card front. Once I am pleased with the sketch, I layer the super smooth printer paper on top of my Cricut BrightPad. This serves as a lightbox, so I can ink in the images with the Tombow Dual Brush Pen N15, and not have to erase pencil lines later. Then I scan the images and convert them to a PDF file for sharing here on the blog!

STEP TWO

Making a copy on a toner-based copy machine will also work. The foiling technique WILL NOT work with an inkjet printer. Selecting super smooth cardstock will also assist in a successful foil transfer. I love the bright rainbow colors of Foil Transfer Sheets from the Laura Kelly for Therm-O-Web.

STEP THREE

I used white cardstock for these samples, but have fun, and experiment with different colors. Cut out the card fronts with a paper trimmer. Lay the Transfer Foil, color side up on top of the card front, place in a folded piece of Therm-O-Web Parchment Paper and insert into a preheated laminator. Create a one-color foil transfer, or cut out shapes and layer the foil for a multi-colored foil transfer.

STEP FOUR

Draw a rough outline of the are to be foiled with the MONO Twin permanent marker. Cut out the foil shapes with scissors, layer on the card front, and run through the laminator. I like to run the foil transfer sheets through the laminator twice. Remove card front from the Parchment Paper and peel back the foil transfer to reveal the MAGIC!

STEP FIVE

Once all the card fronts are foiled, build the cards. I always keep a stash of A2 white card blanks and envelopes on hand. Cut a piece of colored cardstock to fit the front of the card blank and attach with Therm-O-Web Adhesive Runner XL Permanent. My trick is to outline the card front with the same color Dual Brush Pen as the cardstock, so any slight measurement issues will dissappear. Layer the foiled Free Printable Valentine Cards with Therm-O-Web 3D Foam Squares.
