Foil — especially gold foil — was a hot trend at CHA (the Craft & Hobby Association show). It was on so many supplies and projects and the Heidi Swapp's Minc foiling machine was one of the most talked about items at the show. It got me thinking that maybe I should share some of my favorite techniques for using transfer foil! It's easy to do and the supplies are readily available. I had everything I needed for the techniques I'm going to show you in my stash. In fact, every day this week I'll be sharing techniques for foiling! Wheeeeee!
First up: Rubber Cement and Stencils. So easy to do with great looking results!
        |
Please note: The transfer foil I used is from a company that no longer seems to be using business. I have provided some alternative suggestions in the supply list above. The stencils I used are new releases and are not yet available! The names of the stencils are: "Rug" and "Repeating Pods." Available Balzer Designs stencils with a similar feeling are "Stacked Triangles" and "Blazonry," which I've included in the supply list above.
Thanks for stopping by!
Wonderful technique!!! Now, I just have to find my foil!

I love the way you do video fast. I’ve watched videos (or part of videos:) where they make you watch the glue or paint or whatever dry before moving on!! Thanks for the fast forward! Cool technique too.

Love this technique. I have some foil in my stash that I bought years ago for a long forgotten purpose. Now I know what to do with it! Thanks.

I like how you used tools we probably already have to do this foiling technique. I don’t think I need to purchase a special machine which I have neither the money nor the space for. Looking forward to seeing what else you do with foil. thanks as always for sharing.

Lovin your new stencils! What a terrific technique. Did not have a clue how to do this and am thrilled to have learned how from your video. I love the look of just the rubber cement on the black tag, too. Wonder if it ever would dry hard enough to use it as is or if it will always stay somewhat sticky? Also if left at that stage, if it might rub off? I checked on line but couldn’t find a definitive answer. If you know Julie, thanks for advising me. 🙂

I tried using this technique but somehow it didn’t work. I don’t know if I used enough rubber cement or maybe it is the different brand of transfer foil or perhaps I just didn’t rub hard enough with the bone folder. I’m going to give it another go, but wondered if the rubber cement technique would work in the laminator? Wondered if perhaps you already tried that and how it turned out?

Thanks for the tip! I never would’ve thought to use rubber cement. FYI the link to the paper cement is a broken link, where can it be purchased?
