Great teamwork you two. Wow, this is so brilliant, it is a game changer. Now we can make store bought ephemera unique, with our choice of stencils & foil patterns & colours. I, like many others I am sure, have older ephemera that sits around, unused & now I want to get it out & give it an update that will coordinate with the projects I will use it on. It will be a great way to use up some of that stash. I am even thinking about making bookmarks from some older stash, decorating with this technique & donating to my grandchildren’s school for their Father’s Day stall. Thanks for your wonderful inspiration. I hope you will still be able to go on your family holiday, now that things are starting to get back to normal all over the world. 🙂
Very nice!!!! I definitely need to work at which foil paper works in what technique. I have toner compatible or also known as textile laminator and heat compatible foils. A dozen plus a smaller set of 6 solids. But also I have foiling sheets and rolls for my glimmer foil dies and machine technique which that foil also works with the foiling pen by We R Memories. Not to mention foils with adhesive backing and HEAT Sealing foils for fabric which is not the same I understand as the toner compatible textile foil but you would think it might be. The difference is the HEAT applied foils for fabric have an adhesive side as well. YIKES. Lucky me I do have multple drawers I made out of towers 10 high and 18 high using Sterilites large triple drawer plastic drawers in clear. The drawers are large enough to hold 12x12 card stock and a good 2 inches deep or maybe more so it holds all my different rolls of foils. I try to keep up with labels and HOW TO instructions that I laminate and stick inside the drawers with the specific type of foils too. (Oh and I also have Sizzix foiled Texture rolls that is very stiff and you can sew with and soften with water and kneading techniques to emboss etc. But it helped ruin 3 brandnew 3D Tim Holtz emboss and cut dies.) All in all keeping all the foiling rolls and sheets separate takes some work. I make stickers for friends and so like to use a monochrome black laser printer that handles cardstock. Then you can run it through the laminator using the foil you have here or it should work. But that's where it gets a bit tricky. Some of the foils that work wellwith the hot foiling gel really is more like the foils used with the glimmer or hot foiling plates and machines than the toner or textile foils. So sometimes you need to experiment with a small sample before thinking a whole sheet of labels 11 x 8.5 for example will be fine with that foil. It may not. But so love foiling and still working on grasping and understanding all the different and specific types. If I do discover a foil works with a different technique not made for I make a note of that and put that inside the drawer with the other instructions too so if I forget what that was I can find that note and be reminded. Oh I almost forgot there are foiling flakes too that work great with several of these adhesive foiling gels with some cold and some hot. OH MY GOSH I am hoping no one else decides to create any more foils and methods. WOZA...but isn't it all fun? And so pretty....
If the leather is thin enough to go through a laminator. Otherwise, you can use the Tacky when Dry paste that doesn't need a laminator. I would test it first to see if the results are what you wanted.
Thanks Christine. Very cool. Love minc-ing.

Those tags are extremely beautiful, the round card (ephemera?), the card backgrounds, that is amazing!
Very nice! 👍🏻
Hi Christine, do you think this product can be used on leather?
If the leather is thin enough to go through a laminator. Otherwise, you can use the Tacky when Dry paste that doesn't need a laminator. I would test it first to see if the results are what you wanted.
Do I have to have a laminator to work with this project?
Yes
Yes - but there is the Tacky When Dry paste that do not need a laminator.
