Foil - This is where metallic foil is applied to the paper via a of couple methods. The first method is where black toner is applied to where the foil is wanted. Then the foil paper is placed on the card and heat is applied. Once removed the foil is left only where the black had been. The other method requires an entire template to be made that is then heated and pressed into the foil on top of the paper. This leaves the foil imprint onto the paper! Glitter- There are many ways to get a glitter effect on cards. The most basic is applying glue and sprinkling the glitter directly on the card and tapping off the extra. However, there are new ways of applying transfer sheets of glitter and using a heat source. This type of printing is fantastic for flake free designs and my favorite. No more glitter on everything. |
