Embossed Aluminum Foil Card 1

I've been wanting to try this technique and finally found the time to!  I used aluminum foil straight from my kitchen and ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder to get this look.  (If you want to try this technique, I did put a layer of cardstock behind the aluminum foil to make it sturdier and easier to work with.)  I added the tag using the Four Frames and Petite Pairs stamp sets and easily punched them out with the Decorative Label punch.  Watch tomorrow for another version of this card!

  1. Love this technique! Did you say there is another version? Can't find it. This is really neat!

  2. Thank you for the kind words. I guess I didn't post the next day-oops! Here are two links to other cards using the aluminum foil, although one is almost identical in design:

  3. I've added the "aluminum foil" label over on the side too, so all of these will be easier to find. Here is one more sample:
