Now that it's spring, it's time to switch out my my seasonal printable frame (you can find Valentine's Day here, winter here, fall here, and Christmas here). For spring I created a This is the Day printable.
Did I also mention that I got a new toy to play with, too!?! I picked up this laminator and a lot of different colored Therm O Web Deco foil from A Walk Down Memory Lane. Here's a picture of how the whole frame works.
I printed the Psalm 118:24 picture in black on white card stock. To get this to work with the Therm O Web it needs to be printed in toner (so printed from a laser printer or run through a toner copy machine, a regular ink jet printer won't work).
Then, I ran the printable through my new laminator with Therm O Web's Gold Deco Foil (I'll make a video of this process soon, but it's really easy). The only small change I made was to run the foil through on the low temperature. To get a smooth, perfect transfer, I use the high temperature setting. I wanted to see what would happen if I used the lower temperature setting. What I got was an imperfect transfer that looks like cool, vintage gold leaf. The black is peaking through in places, and I love it, so I decided to use the imperfect transfer instead of the perfect one.
