Sweet Tooth Tuesdays - Metallic Foils

Danielle Pandeline here did you miss me?  I was off the hook last Tuesday and I know you are dying to see the latest video I have up my CRAFTY sleeve. Well, I am digging up an old technique that might have be lost and forgotten in the stamping world. FOILS! Yes, I said Foil.  I was just reintroduced of the technique and went digging through my stash and found my Foil Kit.  With the trend of the color Gold coming back in full force this technique is perfect and EASY to ad a bit of Gold or other metallic color to your project.

Admit One

Today Was

Let's Recap!
 You will need the following..
- Zig 2 Way Glue / Tombo Mono Multi / Quickie Glue (just one of these)
- Foil Sheets in any color
- Sweet Stamp Shop Stamps
- Project

Start by stamping your stamp where ever you want it.
Trace the image with your choice of the glue I mentioned.
Let the glue dry. It should be tacky to the touch, and DRY.
Lay your foil over the area and press around the raised glue with your finger.
Pull up the foil.
SURPRISE!!!
You now have a beautiful shiny metallic image.
If you see any missed spots that the foil didn't stick to, just place the foil down and rub again. You can do this to any missing spots.

Isn't this just a FUN, Old School Technique.  I know I totally forgot about, but now I am having a blast adding Metallic touches to all my projects.

Let me know what you think is the best image to Foil in the comments below!

Happy Stamping!

Sweet Tooth Tuesdays - Glossy Accents

Hey Everyone! It's Danielle Pandeline here with your Sweet Tooth Tuesday fix! I know you have been at the edge of your seat waiting for the next tutorial.  Well, then today you are in for a SWEET TREAT! I am going to show you how to add a GLOSSY touch to your cards.

For this card I had fun with it and randomly placed items with lots of layers.  I used Afternoon Delight and Today Was from the Sweet Shop. 

After Noon Delight

I also created this fun card using the same technique! I made this car with the idea that it would be great for a Science Fair Winner or a Straight A Student!  

Check out the dimension from the glossy accents! I know you want to Gloss everything now! lol

Chemistry

Lets recap on how to use Glossy Accents.

1) Use small circle motions
2) Never pick up the tip out of the liquid, to prevent bubbles
3) Tap on the underside of the cardstock to level the liquid and move bubbles
4) If you have bubbles, use a pin to pop them
5) Allow, to dry over night for best results

Several Sweet Stamps that would be fun to GLOSS up!

- The Splat on Chemistry set
- The Tea Pot on Afternoon Delight
- The Balloons on Admit One
- The Glasses on Geek Chic
- The Camera Lens on Lil Sweet Peps
