OR, take it that little step further and Hot Foil with them. But, what’s the Magic Trick, to widen the lines? It’s a simple piece of acetate (I used heat resistant) layered between the hot foil stamp/die and hot foil. It’s true!

  1. It’s a brilliant technique Terese. Never seen it before. It’s going to be fun trying out different designs.

  2. I hadn’t heard of this. Great tip, will make dies more useful. I will definitely try this.

    1. It’s a great technique and it’s just a matter of working out which dies work best with which sandwich/ paper/ foil etc. I know you will rock it as you are a technique guru!
