Sticky2 and foil demo & Giveaway #2

I am not one to buy and buy the latest craft products. I like to use what I have to the fullest. But here is one I may need some more of: Sticky 2 and foil by Christine Adolph.



They are so simple to use:

Step 1
Choose the surface you want to give to a decorative shine to.



Step 2
Trim the image from the Sticky2 sheet that you want to use. I have the Romance collection designed by Christine Adolph.



Step 3
Peel off the backing and lay the image on the surface. Burnish the image. It turns a darker blue as it adheres. Discard the clear plastic cover.



Step 4
Lay the foil, colored side up, and rub with your finger. I have the foil packet called 'Sunset' which has red, pink and orange foil sheets.



Step 5
Peel off the foil and find it has stuck to the image, so now you have a shiny version of the image.





You only use the image once, so here enters the need to purchase another packet! Oh well, it is all in the name of crafting ;)
(and no, I get no commission on these, I simply want to share what I am using)

I used these products to decorate a mini valentine book that I have sent off to Stampington (I know, it seems unseasonal of me, but when you for planning and shopping purposes you have to think seasons ahead)



Here is a tutorial by Christine herself:



Next tutorial I will be doing is 'altered photos', as requested by Trudy, so check back next week, the day after Christmas, or Boxing Day as it is called in Ireland!
