3. Scissors
4. Tombow mono liquid glue
5. Bamboo skewer

How to make a Faux Flaming Heart Tin

Hi Everyone,

     As you know, I love, love, love anything to do with Mexican Folk Art.
There is just something so classic and romantic with the embossed tin look.
Doesn't this look like the real deal? Can you believe its not?
Follow the instructions below to create your own....so easy...You'll love it!

Supplies used:

1. Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
2. Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
3. Violet/Violet Starstuck Foiled Paper
4. Marigold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
5. Copper/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
6. 12" x 12" Chipboard
7. 6" x 6" 
8. Pencil
9. Hot glue gun with narrow tip
10. Tacky glue
11. Q-tips and a blunt embossing tool
12. Embossing folder and machine
13. Modeling paste
14. Colored permanent markers in Yellow, light green and dark green.
15. Scissors and craft knife

Starting with the 6x6 square, draw a design with pencil similar to mine. A border, a heart and rays of light. No need for perfection since we just need a general 'idea'  of where the heart should go. Use the hot glue to trace the border, nice and thick and straight (as possible) rays of light. 

Slather the square and hard lines of glue with your adhesive. Use your fingers to push the tacky glue into every area. Wash your hands before going onto the next step.

Cut a piece of the Silver foil larger than the square itself. Place foil onto the glue  and use the base of your palm to quickly press the foil down over the whole area. Glue the extra foil onto the back of the square. Use a Q-tip to gently press the foil along the lines of hardened hot glue. If you press too hard, the foil will tear. 

Color in the rays as shown with yellow pen first, then the light green. 

Finish coloring with the darker green pen.

Hand cut or die cut a heart from the Ruby foil and one slightly larger from the Violet starstuck foil. Emboss the heart and fill the back of the heart with modeling paste. This will dry hard and preserve the embossed design of the heart. Glue the two hearts together. Cut flame like strips from the Marigold and Copper foil, flipping some flames to reveal the gold backside of the foiled paper. Adhere these flames to the heart duo before attaching all to the center of the rays. 

Trace the square onto the larger chipboard. Then draw your design. As you did earlier, trace the design with the hot glue gun. 

When the glue is cool to touch, use the craft knife to cut away any mistakes. Don't worry too much about all those glue trails, you won't see them under the foil.

Repeat the same process you did earlier for the smaller square. Make sure to cover the entire square/design with glue. 

Alternate between the Q-tip and embossing tool to bring out the design. Use soft pressure as not to tear the foil. 

Use the tacky glue to adhere the middle square in place and press down gently. Leave this flat to set over night before displaying on a mantle or hanging on a wall. 

So, what do you think? Let me know in comments. Thanks!

Foiled Paper Desert Scene

Hi Michelle here to show you how you can make a tranquil desert scene with foiled papers!

Supplies used:

1. Blush/Glossy Gold Foiled Paper
2. Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foiled Paper
3. Gold/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
4. Fushia/Fushia Starstruck Foiled Paper
5. Marigold/ Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
6. Jade/Jade StarStruck Foiled Paper
7. Copper/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
8. 12x12 Chipboard
9. Tracing paper
10. Pencil and scissors
11. Watercolors
12. Coarse sand paper
13. Quick drying adhesive

Start by drawing a desert scene onto your chipboard. Make sure to a have a focal point- your cactus and a background such as the hills and mountains.

Trace the cactus onto the tracing paper and cut out.

Paint your background with the watercolors.

Fold a strip of the Fushia Starstruck into 3 squares. Use the pencil to freehand draw a simple heart. Cut through all 3 layers. Do this again, but slightly smaller for other blooms.Glue your hearts in place as shown.

Use your tracing as a template for the main cactus. Trace the entire cactus onto the Emerald Starstruck as a whole, then just the torso 2-3 times and cut out. Fold torso pieces in half length wise.

Distress the foiled paper with the sandpaper, starting in the center and out at a angle.

Glue the folded pieces to each other, then to the main shape of the cactus.

Crumple your Marigold, Blush, Gold and Copper foiled papers.

Cut them into strips, then small triangles and squares. These are your desert rocks. Glue in place around the cactus and down the hills.

For the spines, Cut a strip of gold foiled paper and fold it in half. Then cut up little strips.

Dot the cactus with glue and leave to set up a bit, then attach the spines.

Add more desert stones, scatter some and feel free to mix up the colors.

Add more Fushia hearts if you want your flowers fuller. 

Sit back and enjoy your beautiful desert scene!

Here's another idea of what you can do with your scraps of Rinea Foiled Paper!

This idea is similar to the address book I up-cycled.

Supplies used:

1. Rinea Foiled Paper of your choice. I used a variety Glossy Foiled Paper. Basically  embossed scraps from leftover projects.

See the entire project here!

Embossed Foil Address Book

 I wanted something bright and colorful to hold all of our friends and family addresses, Birthdays and any other special occasions. This project was a great way to use up all my scraps of Rinea Foiled Paper.

 I used a combination of Glossy Foiled Paper and Star Struck Foiled paper.

For this project, I only embossed the Glossy Foiled Paper.

Vintage Inspired Christmas Tree Light Reflectors

I've always loved the look of vintage tree light reflectors and I love how Rinea Foiled Papers can help achieve that look with out any fuss.

Because I was using the reflectors on our Mexican folk art tree, I wanted to use colors that were bright and festive. I used Rinea Glossy Foiled Paper because one side was colored and the other side was gold.

• Emerald/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
• Ruby/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper 
• Silver/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
• Turquoise/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
• Sapphire/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
• Violet/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
• Fushia/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper

Cut your foiled paper in 1 ½" strip and score at the ½" mark. Use fringe scissors to cut up to the ½" line. Cut strips into 1" pieces.

Pick out 2-3 colors to layer. 

Place 1/4" strips of double stick tape at the top of each strip. A ball point pen is about the same size as a Christmas tree light, so use that as your wrapping base. Wrap a un-taped fringed square around the pen. Then add the 2nd squarewith tape and then the 3rd square.

Before slipping these over any lights, fringed reflectors. 

I personally love how these look on colored lights, they remind me of childhood trips to mexico during the holidays with my Dad.

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas!
