					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You would think that house supplies are only for house, but some of the paper-crafters are just so creative to use house supplies for paper-craft projects. And this week I had a fun experiment with foil. Thanks to many amazing people who share tutorials on YouTube! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
<p>I embossed the foil for this card background.</p>

<p>First I run the cardtock panels through Xyron create a sticker max. This is an easy way to add adhesive all over bigger panel cardstocks.</p>

<p>Second, I added the foil on them. Make sure to do it on the flat smooth surface to have the best result.</p>

<p>Third, using my micro-tip scissors I cut the extra foil. Then I embossed them using WRMK Next Level embossing folders, WRMK Tribal pattern embossing folder, and Darice snowflake embossing folder with my WRMK Evolution Advanced machine.</p>

<p>I love how they turn out, especially the ones with Next Level embossing folders.</p>
<p>To put the card together, I added the tag and ribbon first on the embossed foil&nbsp;and then added the panel on the card base. Using my WRMK Corner rounder, I rounded the bottom corners.</p>
<p>This card I link up at the HLS August Mixed Media Challenge with theme &#8220;Metal&#8221;.</p>
