\nHello!<\/div>\n
\nI have been addicted to foiling ever since Craftangles has released their brilliant foils!<\/a><\/div>\n
\nHere are some Diwali cards and tags that I have made using these foils.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nTo make the shaker tag below, I have heat embossed the Ganesh image with clear embossing powder before using the gold foil.<\/div>\n
\nAfter many trials, I found that I must ensure that the clear embossing powder is even and not splotchy. Only then does it get covered evenly with the foil, when put through the laminator.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThere has been a lot of discussion about the way to apply the foil. I have achieved best results by putting the laser printed image or heat embossed image through a laminator, along with the foil.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nI created another Shaker tag using playing card die cuts as shaker elements. For the background, I heat embossed and foiled the fireworks and Diwali sentiment <\/div>\n
\nfrom Craftangles Happy diwali stamp set.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor this card, I die cut the sentiment from a sheet of black toner paper…which is nothing more than a sheet of black that I printed out on my laser printer.<\/div>\n
\nI then used the Craftangles copper foil<\/a> which covered this die cut so beautifully.<\/div>\n
\nI diecut the same sentiment from a background panel and then dry embossed the panel with paisleys.<\/div>\n
\nFinally I inlaid the diecut to complete the  simple card.<\/div>\n
\nI finished it off by adding a few Craftangles clear sequins.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis card below, is by far my favourite!<\/div>\n
\nI die cut this beautiful diya from toner paper and then used the Craftangles rainbow foil<\/a> to cover it.<\/div>\n
\nOnce done, I diecut a piece of white fun foam with the same die and used it to pop up the diya on the dry embossed background.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHere, I used the negative piece of the rainbow foil<\/a> that I used above to create another diya.<\/div>\n
\nFor this diya, I first clear heat embossed a piece of paper and then run it with the negative foil piece  through the laminator. Once done, I trimmed the diya  and popped it up on the dry embossed Craftangles sapphire blue card <\/a>background with some foam tape.<\/div>\n
\nI finished both the cards with some Craftangles clear sequins.<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI hope I have inspired you to try out some foils  and have some fun!<\/div>\n
\nThanks so much for stopping by!<\/div>\n
\nHave a great day!<\/div>\n
