Foil in CuttleBug??

[Mcclain718]

Oooh too cool! Do you think the Ranger Alcohol inks would be a great effect on this technique or not?

[DebbieL530]

Great idea!!! Love non-traditional scrapbooking -- especially for cards!!!

I just tried this and i don't have a Cuddlebug i used a embossing fold and a rolling pin and it came out grate. Thank You.

try using leather in the bug, see what you think of it. see what ideas your son could come up with using the leather. Wet is before embossing if it is thick and stiff

[roostercrow1000]

Hi, I wanted to share this tip with you also. Try running leather through the bug, it turns out beautiful. You may want to wet the leather if it is really a stiff leather like men's belts. Your son may have more ideas in his creativity using leather!

Smart young man in your family! Children don't restrict themselves to rules, just to what happens if? Thank you for presenting it.

[HipHopcheerleader]

Hi. Can u please tell me where you got that crimper. Please somebody. Thanks

[craftymagnets]

Great idea! And thanks to meandmychickies for the tip about sharpening the cricut blade!

[meandmychickies]

Cool!! Foil can also be used to sharpen your cricut blade!! Awesome for after cutting glitter paper! It de gunks and sharpens. Just fold up into a cube or thick ball and continuously poke in and pull out! :0)

[CCNutella]

Thanks to your kid! I love the card!!

[h1ybear]

neat idea! very creative. thanks.

[deaultusername]

the foil is quite good.

the thin version can be filled with moten hot glue wax or epoxy to make it solid.

It can also be embeded in the epoxy for an interesting effect.

this is great!

I was actually told that running foil through your Cuttlebug with your Dies keeps the dies healthy and extends the life of your dies. The same for using foil with your punches. One last thing when you emboss and you don't have thick foil, you can put glossy accents on the underside of your embossed foil let dry. The embossing is super sturdy. We used the foil/glossy accents/Embossing for Christmas ornaments.

awesome! tfs ~Hopelynn

Try coloring over the piece once it's been embossed. Use a brayer or a finger

dauber rubbed from an ink pad - think how pretty that Xmas tree would be with

some color - even white!

[KonaSitkaRose]

Way cool for your son to think up such a great idea!

[kansasa1]

[vthai12345]

[loverdave7]

thank you son us a great mind and a great heart sharing is ideas w us..

[JamiesSwagg]

if you glue the foil to a piece of card stock with plain old glue stick, you wouldn't have to use so much foil.

[Debbiemag]

Love this idea!

[MsHopem]

[amjPeace]

I had tried using foil in my CB, but wow! It works so much better if you layer it like this! TFS!

That's cool. I'm going to emboss some foil. I wonder if my heart punch will go thru the foil?

[Deltonsmama]
