Fun with Waffle Flower and Hot Foiling!

April 5, 2022

Fun with Waffle Flower and Hot Foiling!

Today I’m sharing a fun hot foiled card project featuring some wonderful new products from Waffle Flower Crafts!

The new Sunburst Foil Plate is a GORGEOUS and huge plate which could be used for so many things. But the key to today’s card? Hammermill cardstock! I have never had great results with hot foiling until trying out this much talked about paper. It really IS a great match for hot foiling projects! I have never had this type of result before.

The photos don’t do the car justice! The shine combined with the simple ink blend is so pretty!

Here is the video walking you through the process:

    What a Beautiful card!!! I need to get some of the Hammermill paper as well as the creative detailer tool. I have the sand eraser, but it seems to take more of the paper and not the excess foil when I use it.

    Yay, Cathy Z! So glad you found paper that worked for you. I always use Gina K. Designs Layering and Heavy weight cardstock. It is so smooth!! Simon Hurley also has a great cardstock for every use imaginable. Love your cards and all your fun videos. Kudos!

    Just lovely. The sunburst, hot foil die that you used, is sensational. Lots of new tips and techniques. I bought that foil cutter and haven’t really used it, nor have I foiled much. Have to get the machine out and do some now that I’ve seen your foiling video.

    Love your card. The sunburst foil plate is amazing and I love the way you made the sun “glow” even behind the die cut. I bought some Hammermill a while back to try but haven’t used it yet. I hope my results are as amazing as yours.

    Your card is really gorgeous! I have no doubt it looks better in person, but you did a great job of capturing the shiny-ness, which I know is not easy to do. Bravo!

    Thanks for the tip on the Hammermill cardstock. I doubt I’d have ever figured that one out on my own, although I actually have some of that paper in my stash at the moment (funny coincidence!)
