COME AND USE NAIL FOILS WITH ME! I’m part of a super fun card-making group that meets once a month to exchange cards. In September, I volunteered to lead our “Make & Take” project. I was a little nervous since these ladies really know their stuff! Then I remembered a technique I tried ages ago using nail foils and thought—why not bring that to the table? ✨ Foiling with Nail Foils – Quick & Easy! ✨ What you'll need: A piece of cardstock you'd like to foil Nail foils (I found mine on Amazon) Adhesive – I used my Xyron for full coverage, but a tape runner works too 📌 Here’s how to do it: Apply adhesive to the area you want foiled—like I did with the bow on my card (see below!).
