I have seen lots of different ways to add foil to my projects but didn't want to make a huge investment. I found the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System at my local craft store and used a store coupon. The foil comes in lots of different colors and is very affordable - $3 for a 15 foot roll means you can foil LOTS of projects.
You just heat the die on the platform, add your foil and card stock and then pick up the platform and run it through your die cut machine. Simply pull off the excess foil and then die cut the image as normal. The Glimmer Hot Foil platform worked great in my Sizzix Big Shot.
I made a colorful pink and purple background of distress ink. I added some stenciling - a Jane Davenport floral stencil. I love using Pixie Spray to hold the die in place for a crisp inked impression every time.
The Besties die cut is from the July Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club. For $12.50 a month you get a die set that includes lots of dies. This is what's in the July club....
