Fun, Shiny, Metallic! I’m super excited to share a paper craft: foil embossing technique with you today! Turn your cards into some foil paper art!!
Foil embossing provides an easy and elegant look to any paper crafting project. Better yet – it won’t cost you more than a walk to your kitchen!
Today’s quick tip video will provide lots of tricks on using household aluminium foil with your embossing folders for a unique and textured background. I’ll show you how to properly emboss, adhere, and layer the foil embossing technique for maximum results.
I’ve included pictures below, along with cutting dimensions and supplies for the completed card featured in today’s foil embossing technique video. I’ve used the brand new Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage stamp set and coordinating Classic Garage Designer Paper to create this simple masculine card. Whether for a birthday card, graduation card, new drivers license or Father’s Day card, the Classic Garage Suite of products is a must-have addition to your stamping stash!

Hi Lisa
The car you used on your card isn’t the one in the stamp set – can you tell me the name of the set you got that car, on your card from please? Or, is it cut from the DSP?
The reason I ask is I’m from Australia and the car on your card is similiar to the old holden cars we had in this country many years ago and I have two brothers who are great Holden car fans.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Lynn! I think I pointed this out in the video but if I didn’t, I apologize. The car is from the Classic Garage designer paper stack and the simply used my scissors to cut it out. I hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by.
OMG!! I love this technique! Hubby’s birthday is next month, so perfect timing! Thanks for the video!
I’m so glad you like the technique, Jeanette. It’s so easy. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment!
Great idea Lisa. Can’t wait to try , on birthday and Father’s day cards.
This technique is so much fun, Ruth! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Lisa, Could you cut the foil to match the size of your card stock & emboss them together? I think I would try that first. Just a suggestion along with my question. Thanks!
Hi Bonnie! You’ve asked a great question and although I haven’t tried I would imagine that the foil would rip. You’re welcome to give it a try and let us know. Thanks for watching.
First one of your video’s that I have watched in almost a year……………… hope to get back in the swing of things soon. It is a great one as all of yours are. Really miss the IN !! Thanks for the information!
Hi Becky!I’m so glad you’ve watched. Thanks for coming by to comment, too. I hope this new year has you back in your stamp room creating. The IN attendance was dwindling so we’ve moved them to all online. Be sure to watch Live next Wednesday. I’ve emailed out a link. We do meet quarterly when someone is willing to step up and organize it. We met in October and again in December. We sure miss you!
Lisa, love ? this foil background with embossing folder. It makes the card shine! I truly enjoy receiving these tops so much. Keep ‘em coming!
I’m so glad you like it, Mary Lou. I hope you’ll give it a try.
