Multi-Colored Fractal Foiling + Simon’s Born to Sparkle Hop!
If the video does not display, please click here to watch on my YouTube channel, or refresh the page.
One of my favorite ways to use foil, is to create multi-colored foil designs. Using more than one color of foil levels up your project and gives a totally unexpected look! I’m using a few new products from Simon Says Stamp’s Born to Sparkle release to make colorful, multi-colored slimline cards.
Using Therm O Web Transfer Gel, I applied paste through the stencil and let it dry completely. The drying time took a couple hours, but this can vary depending on how thick of a foil application you have. You’ll know the paste is dry when it is completely clear and the paper does not feel “cold” on the underside.
After the paste was dry, I selected 5 different colors of Therm O Web deco foil (Wild Cherry, Gold, Green, Copper, and Bronze), and I carefully layered them across the stenciled design in a triangular fashion. This will provide a gorgeous, fractal effect when it has been transferred to the paste via a laminator.
To finish up my foiled cards, I added sentiments and sequins – the greetings I chose were the Just Because die and Reverse Get Well sentiment strips. The sequins are the new Sterling Scarlet mix from Simon’s Born to Sparkle collection. These colors matched beautifully with the foil. Both cards are also paired with a Simon Says Stamp Teal slimline envelope.
Be sure to watch the video at the top of this post to see exactly how I created this multi-colored foiling project! If you want to see even more multi-colored foiling ideas, check out these two posts where I used this colorful technique! Click on the images to see the videos.

Beautiful cards! I’m just starting to make slimline cards and you gave me great inspiration and my favorite things to stamp is flowers.
Thank you for sharing such a creative technique! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Great idea… thanks for sharing the technique. Also love how you embrace the ‘mistakes’. It’s good to remind ourselves that this is art, not brain surgery! Not mistakes—happy design adjustments!

Really clever idea. I look forward to giving it a try. Thanks for sharing and for the helpful video!
I have a lot of foil scraps and this is a perfect way to use them! Thank you for the inspiration.
Love the foiling technique and end results of your slimline card.
Great way to use up foil scraps. Definitely want to try this technique this weekend!
So cool! I have always been afraid to overlap foil… good to know only the bottom layer will “stick.” Great technique!
Wow. Wow. Wow! I didn’t even THINK that you could foil through a stencil and I LOVE stencils! What an avantgarde technique and your cards are so shiny and beautiful. Love them! Definitely will get a laminator and thanks for showing that you used both a palette knife followed by the stencil pal because I struggle with that.
Wow! I love how you foiled the first card! All of your cards are beautiful! I love the bright colors!
I love the look of foiling and mixing colors up like you did with these cards is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
