Remove the adhesive protective strip and again apply the Foil Craft with the dull side down, on the adhesive strips. Give a rub and lift off the Foil Craft. Now you have a fancy border. By Megan Kapma One of the Trends for 2015 in scrapbooking and card making is the use of foil. The polished metallic look is an elegant look, but how can you create it for yourself. We are going to look as some fun ways to use Foil Craft. Some of you will remember this product, but I have some new ways you can use it to. First lets look at how we use to use Foil Craft. First you will need a 2’n’1 glue pen. 2’n’1 is when you stick something down while the glue is wet it is a permanent stick and if you let the glue dry (go clear) and then stick it is repositionable. Start off by taking your glue pen and writing at title, sentiment or just a fun doodle on a piece of cardstock. Let the glue turn clear, then take your piece of Foil Craft and with the silver dull side down place it on top of the glue. Give it a good rub over the top, then lift off the Foil Craft. Ta-da, a lovely foiled look. Our next technique uses Jac paper (an A4 sheet of double sided tape). Diecut a shape form Jac Paper (here I cut the word Hello using my Silhouette Cameo). Take off the backing paper and adhere to your card or layout. Next take off the front adhesive backing to reveal the sticky part of the Jac Paper and add the Foil Craft again being sure the dull silver side attaches to the adhesive.

It can easily be removed when you have finished cutting. By Megan Kapma Creating a chalkboard effect with a white gel pen and black cardstock. Start of by punching out a shape from black cardstock. Rub over that piece of cardstock using a piece of white chalk. Rub off some of the chalk using a dry napkin. Write on the black cardstock using a white gel pen.

A fun quick tip for those of you with a Silhouette or Circuit and your mat is losing stickiness you can use Here is another washi tape tip you can try. Start off by adding vertical strips of assorted washi tape to some kitchen wax paper (on the waxy side). Then take your choice of craft punch that fits the width of the washi tape and punch on each of the washi tape strips. Now peel the wax paper off and you have a washi tape sticker.
