Come and use nail foils with me in card making.

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!).

Place the dull/non-shiny side of the foil onto the sticky surface.

Rub firmly to transfer the foil onto the cardstock.

Slowly peel the foil sheet away to reveal your shiny, foiled design!

💡 Tip: If a spot didn’t foil completely, just reapply adhesive and repeat the process until you're happy with the result.

The ladies loved the technique, and I was thrilled to share something a little different with them!
Below is a picture of the completed card with the foiled bow

Happy crafting!
I'd love to see what you create—follow me and leave a comment!

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester. The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate. For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have. I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work. It didn't. Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic. Mix them together into a jar (I used a maso...

Stamping Foam! Craft With Me! You can heat this puppy up and press anything into it to make a stamp. This is the first time I have used this item and it was super simple to use.

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinder's with me!

Come and use the Betterpress by Spellbinders with me! A few months ago I went to a 2 day event that was sponsored by Spellbinders and it was so much fun. We got a ton of spellbinders dies and toured the offices and warehouse. We did a couple make and takes at the office and one was with the Betterpress system. I fell in love with the crispness of the press and how beautiful the cards turned out. Its rally hard to see unless its in person but the image is pressed into the cotton paper making it look like a professional print. The better press works with a lot of different machines including the BigShot, Vagabond, Sizzix Switch, and Spellbinders Platinum. It really just needs to fit the Betterpress through without an issue. I would imagine if you can fit an old steel rule die, you can fit the Betterpress inside the machine. I am involved in a monthly card swap and decided to use my Betterpress for them. You first put your metal press plate on the...
