Supplies you will need:

This card puts on the glitz by combining two colours of transfer foil in one design. By using Jones Tones Plexi glue, the design dried three dimensional! It's a wonderfu effect, but all that glitz is hard to photograph!

 

 

Instructions:

  1. Cut a piece of double-sided tape about 2" long and stick it lengthwise to the green cardstock. Remove the release tape from the topside of the tape.
  2. Place the gold Transfer Foil with the shiny side up onto the exposed sticky side of the double-sided tape and rub with your fingers to burnish the foil onto the tape. Don't use your nails or anything sharp as it will leave marks in the foil. If you didn't get all the tape covered, just move an unused part of the foil over the exposed tape and rub.
  3. Partially fill the squeeze bottle with the Jones Tones Plexi Glue and put the metal tip on. Shake the squeeze bottle upside down. You want as many of the air bubbles out as possible. If you aren't doing a fine design, the tip of the Jones Tones bottle comes to quite a narrow point and you wouldn't need to transfer the glue.
  4. Squeeze your design onto the transferred foil rectangle and allow the glue to dry. The very nice thing about this glue is that it will dry 3D. It is dry when the design is clear.
  5. Place copper transfer foil over the dried Jones Tones Plexi glue and burnish it with your fingers. Take care to rub the sides of the 3D design to get complete coverage of the raised surface.
  6. Layer your foiled Christmas Tree on other cardstock and paper as shown. Glue onto a prefolded card.
  7. Letter or stamp your greeting if desired.
