 Γεια σας my crafty friends, I hope you all have a lovely week and today I'm back with foiling. I have here the new spellbinders foiling kit and it is perfect for the season. It comes with plates that do foil as well as dies that cut out all those images. You will get a mushroom, an acorn, lots of leaves, a sentiment for you to foil and a copper foil roll which is perfect for the season. So let's start playing and as I'm playing today I was wondering do you have a foiling machine? Leave me a comment down below and let me know. I love playing with my foiling machine and first I was very skeptical about it. I thought that it would be yet another machine that I would never use however I find that once you get used to it you will end up with projects that are looking very elegant and very professional and if you are a card maker I'm sure you are going to have lots of fun with it. I think it is a great thing to put it on the list of your Christmas presents. Now I'm going to foil everything and I do have a brown cardstock with the sentiment. I will change it into another color later on but for now I'm creating my sandwich, pressed the button, I was waiting for that light to stop flashing and now I'm going to run it through my die cutting machine twice, back and forth. I don't use a paper sim in between those sims, I see that other crafters may use it or don't. It depends really on your die cutting machine, I don't need it, I find that I get a perfect result with the sandwich as it is. And here is my sentiment foiled on this brown cardstock, however I didn't like how that was looking on top of the finished card so I will change it into craft later on. In the set you do get dies to cut out all your foiled images and I did repeat the same process to end up with a bunch of those die cuts since I'm planning to create a wreath. I also foiled a panel, this is in brown cardstock and I did use a foiling set that I have from I believe February, rest of February, I did use the same foil, the copper one that looks beautiful on top of brown cardstock and I think these are perfect colors for fall projects. So all I need to do now is to add some color on all my die cuts. For that you can go with distressed oxides, that's exactly what I'm doing here and to make it easier for me I'm just using my finger dabbers. You can also go with your Copic markers, your alcohol markers if you like, keep in mind that when you go over the foil lines they are going to resist alcohol markers which is great as well as any distressed ink. For coloring everything I'm going with my favorite color compost for fall I'm mainly working with AIDS mahogany and fire brick for the reds, pilt paint for greens and wild honey for yellows. I am going to throw in a little bit of vintage photo as well as some fossilized amber, these are all beautiful distressed ink colors for your fall projects. Once you color everything make sure to go over them with a clean towel or a paper towel just to make sure that you don't have any extra ink laying on top of your falled areas. In a set you will also find dyes to cut out those little branches that come with a lot of tiny little flowers, I am putting them together at the back just because I think that was easier. One of those branches have yellowish flowers, the other one will end up with red ones. I'm not going to use them as they are, I will cut them out later on but I need to have a bunch of those die cuts since I'm planning to create a leaf and I don't know from the start how many of them I'm going to use. Now since I want to create a leaf to make it easier on me I created a ring out of brown cardstock, I just used two circle dies, one inside the other and this is not going to show at all, it's just a guide like a template for me on where I'm going to stick my leaves. And now it's just a matter of sticking everything around that ring, I'm working on a scrap piece of white paper here so you can see better what I'm doing. Of course you can stick that ring directly on top of your background panel and then go ahead and stick everything down, I just decided to do it that way and I'm not going to stick the leaves completely flat. I'm leaving the tips a little bit curved up so that it gives some dimension and I'm just going to go all around the wreath and completely cover it up. Once that was ready I did that tiny little foam tape pieces at the back for extra dimension and I'm going to place it on top of my foiled panel, I'm also going to add a few more extra leaves to make it look rounder since I do have that kind of a flat area on where that mushroom is and I'm just chopping off a leaf so that it fits right there. For the sentiment I went with the one from the kit and I did fold it one more time on craft cardstock this time because I felt that the brown one wasn't standing as much as I wanted to on top of the same colored cardstock as my background. So now I'm going to add those flowers and I did cut them out to be tinier, smaller and I will find that when you use a dark background it always helps the images that you add on top, the colorful images, to look even brighter. However these are not really bright colors since I only used muted kind of muted colors from the Distress Oxide line. At the back of the brown panel I did use foam tape, I'm going to stick it on top of a card base that is four and a quarter by five and a half in craft color matches the color of the sentiment. It's a lovely fall card, perfect for Thanksgiving or for any other occasion really this time of year. You can stop here, it looks absolutely stunning as it is but if you want to take it a step further like I did you can add tiny little gems in copper color or in any other color that matches the colors of the leaves. So that was the project for today, I hope that you had fun, that you got inspired, just like always you will find a full list of all the supplies that I used down below in the description area. Don't forget to like the video, to leave me a comment, I read them all. I hope you all have a lovely week and I'll see you all tomorrow with my new Mixed Media Tuesday.
