Foiled and Embossed ornaments – video

Recently I made a video for Grafix which involved some experimenting with their Metallic Foil board. I created some sweet little foiled and embossed ornaments and a card. I was very impressed with the way the foil board embossed. You can see the whole process in the video below.

The double tack mounting film worked very well also adhering the foil board to the chipboard. It made for some simple but very shiny, eye-catching ornaments. If you don’t have dies that cut chipboard you could always die-cut several baubles from cardstock and stack them to make a firm base for the foiled layers.

I added a single layer embossed bauble to a card front too and the shine of the foil board looks lovely on the very neutral vintage music paper. The ornaments and bow were all cut using the Sizzix ‘retro ornaments’ Bigz die and the word ‘joy’ was cut with the Penny Black ‘joyful winter’ die.
