If you are like me, you are always on the look-out for a new way of creating handmade cards. This technique uses aluminum foil to create an embossed look. Use your creativity to create an embossed design!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

5" Square of Aluminum Foil
5-1/2" x 11" of Card Stock
Yarn or Jute
Craft Glue
Pencil
Decorative-Edged Scissors

Step 1

Gather your supplies.

Gather all of your materials. Cut the aluminum foil and card stock according to the dimensions provided here.
Step 2

Be sure edges are even!

Fold the card stock on half lengthwise, ensuring that you line up the two edges perfectly. You may want to use a ruler to press the crease firmly.
Step 3

Using the pencil, sketch a design of your choice onto the front of the card.
Step 4

Add yarn/jute.

Glue the yarn/jute to the sketched design.
Step 5

Trim the edges of the foil.

Trim the sides of the foil square using the decorative-edged scissors. Be careful not to trim too much off from the square.

Apply glue to the card and yarn/jute. Press the foil over the card firmly so that the design of the yarn/jute shows through.
