How to Add Quick and Easy Foil Accents with No Tools


I've got a post on the ScraPerfect Blog demonstrating the EASIEST, FASTEST way to add foil accents to your craft projects with absolutely beautiful results using Designer Transfer Foils from ScraPerfect.



Designer Transfer Foils from ScraPerfect – NO TOOLS NEEDED!

A little background... I am creating a scrapbook cookbook of my "go to" recipes.  This recipe comes from the plaid, Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook - my very first cookbook - a Christmas gift from my mother when I was still a teen (who else owns this cookbook? give me shout out in the comments!)

Using Designer Transfer Foils from ScraPerfect is just SO EASY!! And a foil accent just gives such a great POP of WOW on your layout!

  • Apply Best Glue Ever to area to be foiled - a thin layer is all it takes
  • Let BGE "set" until it changes from white to clear
  • Place Designer Transfer Foil over area to be foiled - SHINY SIDE UP!
  • Use your finger to rub foil
  • Pull foil paper away quickly
  • ENJOY your gorgeous results!

While finishing this layout - I always add Best Glue Ever to my "self stick" Alphas -  better safe than sorry - add that extra bit of glue to make sure your titles STAY STUCK!



Layout Details:

  • Base: 8x8 Kraft/Silver Foil Cardstock - Stampin Up
  • Accent Strip:  4 x 8 Foil Cardstock - Stampin Up
  • Optional:  Machine stitching around both cardstock pieces
  • Recipe/Journaling: 4 x4 white cardstock, black cardstock mat

Embellishments:
