How to Beautifully Embellish Chipboard with Foil Accents

Hi there, Karen here to share how easy it is to embellish chipboard with metallic foil accents.  This is a cost effective way to add a bit of bling to your projects with buying expensive chipboard sets and it allows you the freedom to control the amount of foil you would like to have.  I usually prefer subtle foil accents that just catch the light and provide a hint of extra twinkle.

4.  Remove the foil to reveal the foil transferred to the tacky glue.  If any areas of glue did not get foil, place the foil over the area and rub over it again.  Continue the process until all the glue has been foiled.

6. Apply BGE to select parts of the chipboard to accent the shape or outline and highlight a certain pattern. Wait 2-3 minutes for the glue to turn clear and tacky and then apply foil over the dry glue.

7. Adhere the foiled chipboard to the top left corner of the layout. Add a few clusters of die cut embellishments. Create a ruffle by using a needle and thread to sew a basting stitch along the edge and gathering it up. Attach the ruffle to a tag and embellish with a small ribbon bow.

8.  I repurposed some foam crafts for children that had many self adhesive dots in the design. I carefully removed the backing paper and placed each sticky foam dot directly onto the foil. Create home-made glue dots by applying small dots of BGE to release paper.  Finally, remove the foam dots from the foil and use the Embellie Gellie tool to select and transport each dot to a tiny BGE glue dot. Place the foiled dots randomly on the layout to look like scattered confetti.
