I found the foil available in copper, brass and aluminum, and my local craft store also had rolls of foil that were red on one side and silver on the other. Green and silver rolls were available too. It seemed a bit thinner than the others, but for some things it will work as well. In the past we have embossed on paper using a rubber stamp, embossing powder and a heat gun to make the raised design. When embossing tooling foil, you use a ballpoint pen or stylus and press down on the foil to make an indentation, and when you turn it over the design is raised.
Experimentation is the name of the game.
This adds a great touch. And if you want to start now, go to the kitchen cupboard and take out the heavy-duty foil. Use spray adhesive to glue two layers together, and follow the tooling-foil directions previously provided. Embossed tooling foil can be used for everything from decorating greeting cards to making bookmarks to covering boxes, notebooks and empty cans. We chose to do a box top, notebooks and cans on the show.
