Hello again! I’m back with a second card to give you a heads up that Paul Church will be on HobbyMaker TV tomorrow with a new set of Clarity’s Hot Foils and the Christmas BOW-WOB (black-on-white, white-on-black) collage papers. I decided to spend a bit of time this afternoon foiling some of my BOW-WOB papers and here’s one of the results.

I used the gold foil on one of the papers. First was to run the BOW-WOB Christmas tree paper & foil through my laminator, using the waxed paper sheets that come in the kit. All Clarity’s papers are laser-printed, so the foil fuses to the black areas are ink. What’s brilliant, though, is that several sheets of colour laser-printed paper are also included in the pack, so you can then foil the ‘negative’ piece that’s left from the first run onto it – two pieces from one foil.

I decided to chop up the foiled pieces so I could use both of them on one card, with the outer strips from the green ‘negative’ foiling and the centre one from the first run on the BOW-WOB paper. I glued them onto a square of card with a Pritt stick and neatened the edges with my guillotine.

That was basically all the work done! I used a square embedder to emboss a frame on the front of a 6×6 card blank and attached the topper to it. I popped a Christmas Rub On sentiment onto a spare bit of the green paper from the pack, added a mount of white card and sat it on the card front.

The shine on these foils is just fabulous! You can catch Paul at 2pm tomorrow on HobbyMaker TV with more inspiration. Meanwhile, I’m heading over to share this in the galleries at Atlantic Hearts (I rotated their sketch for my layout) and Merry Little Christmas
