Hey Crafty People!
I’ve been having so much fun playing with the newest Fab Foil colours, and I’ve got a wealth of backgrounds I’ve foiled just waiting to be made into gorgeous cards! Today, I’m inking up a Fab Foiled Fab Foiler for this adorable birthday card.
Inking Up a Fab Foiled Fab Foiler!
- Using low tack tape, I tacked my foil onto the back of the panel so it wouldn’t get caught as it was pulled through the machine. I fed it into my hot Laminator. I didn’t use any kind of shim or sleeve because you really don’t need one.
- Once it cooled down, I peeled back the plastic release sheet to reveal a gorgeously Fab Foiled panel! I didn’t get rid of the excess either because you can use it with our Solid Panel Foilers to get a whole other background!
- Next, I moved on to making the card using that foiled panel. I picked out a Catherine Pooler ink that matched this color foil, and I went direct to paper, inking up the entire panel in just a few quick swipes! The cardstock our Foilers are printed on is perfect for this, especially when paired with Catherine Pooler inks! I used a dry cloth to buff away any excess ink sitting on the foil, then set it aside to dry before cutting or gluing it.
- After the panel dried, I trimmed it down to give me a nice border on an A2 panel of Neenah Solar White 80lb, and I adhered it roughly to the center.
Magical Unicorns!
- For my focal images, I had already stamped these adorable Alex Syberia Unicorns in black Versafine and embossed them in Clear Gloss before die cutting. The same went for the little sentiment too, which was from the same stamp set.
- I quickly colored them with some Copic Markers that I had already picked out. I went for a soft and limited color palette that would pair nicely with the background. For the bodies, I mostly left them completely white, adding only light shadows in places before blending it out with my 00 marker.I mixed and matched between the color blends on my three images, making them cohesive while still having different looks.
- I used a glitter gel pen for the horns and their little Cutie-marks to add some extra magic!

Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
