Fun With Therm O Web's Fairytale Foils!

Hello, friends! I have a confession for you… I am not a shopper. I don’t like to buy new products that much, and would rather use what I have on hand. I’m more of a less-is-more kind of gal. I love the look of foiled projects, but have resisted the urge to spend a lot of money on a foiling machine, so I thought that I would never be able to create foiled designs.

That all changed this week when my friends at Therm O Web sent me their new Fairytale Foils and Transfer Gel Duo* to play with, and I was able to try out this new-to-me technique. Let me just say, I am in LOVE!

I had some baby-free time one evening to experiment with the Therm O Web Transfer Gel Duo, Fairytale Foils and the Vicki Boutin Let’s Wander Starstruck stencils from my stash. The results were amazing!

This technique is simple and easy! Using a stencil and my new Therm O Web Stencil Pal, I applied a thin coat of the Transfer Gel Duo to the stencil. *Note: If the coat of Transfer Gel is too thick, it will increase drying time, and you won’t have crisp, clean results when you foil. You can see the difference in my video below!

After the gel had dried overnight,, I applied the foils to the design, ran the card front through my Revolution die cutting machine, and VOILA! I had an amazing, foiled card background! No special printer, or expensive foiling machine required. I’d love to show you how I did it in this process video:

I’m not much of a mixed-media technique gal, but I am now a foiler! I can’t wait to try out the Deco Foil adhesive pen next. Oh the possibilities! I hope you’ll give these products a try, too. I promise you won’t be disappointed with the results!

Be sure to check out all of the products I used in my video, either in the video notes or in the shoppable gallery below. Thanks for stopping by today and happy creating, and FOILING friends!
