Gemini FoilPress post #2

Evening all, back with another post and sample with different Foil Stamp and Foil Cut and Stamp Dies, this time along the lines of a butterfly.

Check yesterdays post for all the links and information about release dates for the new Gemini FoilPress machine from Crafters Companion.


This was a very simple card to showcase the foiling capabilities of this machine. Quite an impact for such a simple aperture design, with foiling on pearlescent card and acetate using the following supplied:

Centura white card with a hint of silver.
Gold mirri card for layering 
FoilPress items (these are part of the HSN bundle)
Ornate Frame & Corner Foil Stamp + Cut Die
Elegant Motifs Foil Stamp Die
 Butterfly Swirls Foil Stamp + Cut Die
Sentiments & Accents Foil Stamp Die
Gold Foil

Lots more photos, again with different light angles so you can see the effects.


As you can see, I have foiled the acetate corners and will be showing another acetate sample in the next couple of days..






Tomorrow I will be back with TWO samples, one in the morning and one in the evening, here's a sneaky peek of one of them, some border foiling.

But for now I'm getting my things ready for a visit to the NEC tomorrow!
