Repurposing older patterned papers with Couture Creations heat activated foils
Today I am sharing how I use my older patterned papers together with my Couture Creations heat activated foils to create a bright and shimmering card. In a few easy steps I transform my patterned papers into something that is hardly recognizable. Showing you that even older paper ranges can be useful and make amazing projects. And by simply scrunching up your foils you automatically add some extra interest with a fun and playful texture and patterned effect.
I used my 6×6 “My Secret Love” paper pad and selected one of the patterned papers to use. Next I added a piece of Cut ‘n bond tape to the paper.
I selected 3 colours of foils to use and cut a piece from each colour. Then I scrunched u the foils. This will give me a fun and texture end result instead of a smooth foiled finish. Place the foils and then peel them off – using one colour at a time. Repeat until you are happy with the effect.
I use my anti static pad to remove the remainder of the tackiness – in my experience there is always a bit of stickiness left.
Now you are free to create a gorgeous card background.
An amazing effect is if you take this piece and punch it into shapes, die-cut shapes and elements or even stamp onto it. So many options in just a few easy steps. Have fun until next time….keep on foiling!
