AUGUST CHALLENGE AND JULY WINNER !!!

Posted by Marion Emberson on
Hi Guys,

For this month, we have challenged you and the design team with the theme "FOIL IT" We would love it if you play along with us :) You can link up your entries using our link below ! The closing date for this challenge is 24th August 2017. and the winner will receive a gift voucher for £15.00/$15.00 to treat yourself to some WOW! goodies via our website. You MUST use Foil in your entry !!

For your chance to win a selection of WOW! Foils and accessories, leave a comment saying why you want to win.... it's as simple as that !!!

 Here's my take on the challenge...

 I absolutely LOVE the WOW! Fab Foils !!! Yes they work with a toner printer, a laminator, our Bonding Powder but for that quick simple card they work wonderfully with adhesives.

 I received the most gorgeous thoughtful gift recently from a lovely young lady called Casey, so I made her a thank you card, I know she loves shiny things, so foil was perfect !!

I started by cutting black card to the finished size I wanted, then a white piece slightly smaller than the black.
Using a hexagon die and a piece of Stix 2 Double Sided Adhesive Sheet I die cut it and kept a few of the solid hexagons and the outline.
I cut a few extra pieces of the outline off to give it a more interesting shape.
This was then adhered to the white card stock
Remove the backing, place the Fab Foil colour side up on the adhesive and rub, lift and repeat, you can keep using your foil until there's no colour left.
With the same die I cut a few scraps of patterned paper and glued these in the design. I also adhered a few of the solid hexagons from the double sided adhesive.
Carefully peel the backing off and again, colour side up, place over the adhesive and rub to transfer the foil.
I stamped the 'Just to Say' sentiment on a piece of white card and cut into a banner, mounted it with foam pads and added a few sequins to add to the shine !!

Thanks for looking.
Hope you have fun with Fab Foil !!

    Love this project, I love sparkly things and have followed people in shops to see where they have picked up sparkly clothes from......I would like to try foiling on my own clothes, can the WOW team advise me please?? If I win some of the foils I could experiment and let you know how I get on with them.

      Hi, my guessing would be, it could be done on fabric, but I doubt you'd be able to wash it, when I'm next on with HQ I'll double check for you xx

    Congratulations to the winner and honorable mentions! Great way to use those foils! I would love to win these, because if the quality of your foils is anything like your embossing powders, then WOW! they would be great to try! Also, I have no foils that work. Thank you for the chance to win them!
