Welcome to the third installment of my YouTube series Man Card Mondays! Today I am focusing on adding a touch of metallic on cards with foil. But, I am not using foiled cardstock. I went to my kitchen and got out some good ‘ole aluminum foil!
The silver front is embossed aluminum foil.
If you are not a huge user of foil, then you just might not want to buy a whole pad of paper, or spend $2 on one sheet. Well, aluminum foil can help you out. It can be embossed, die cut, punched, alcohol inked, and as I found out, can be cut in an electronic cutting machine.
Here is the first panel. I embossed the red cardstock with a metal plate pattern.
The card fully opened with a pocket for a gift card.
I also made a second card. I don’t have a sentiment on it as I don’t know what I am going to use it for yet. But I cut the tools out with my Silhouette Cameo. They came out great!
The tools are cut from aluminum foil.
I give a few tips and show how you can color the aluminum foil in my video below. Thanks for stopping by!
