Tips from the show

• Use a carrier sheet when foiling to prevent the foil from sticking to your machine.
• The embellishments are printed in true black, which helps the foil adhere and melt onto the surface effectively.
• Store loose embellishments in a small tupperware container for easy access and organisation.
