Product Description:

The Nautical Stripe Background Hot Foil Plate includes an A2 sized plate, that hot-foils a nice nautical stripe pattern. Use your favorite foil on your favorite cardstock and create gorgeous striped patterns in the exact color palette of your choice to match your projects. Offset the stripes for a narrower stripe pattern or crisscross the pattern for a diamond shape or even a checkered or plaid background (when foiling multiple times). This is a stash builder that can be used year around (think candy cane stripes for Christmas or use your school colors for cool graduation cards etc) plus this is a gorgeous addition to any of your summer time craft projects.

• High-quality hot foil embossing proudly manufactured here in the USA
• This hot foil set coordinates with our “Set Sail” collection
• Just pick your favorite card stock and your favorite foil color and enjoy the gorgeous details you can only achieve with hot foiling

Directions for hot foil plate use:

1. Gently remove the hot foil plate from backing sheet
2. You will notice that hot foil plates are slightly thicker and heavier than traditional dies
3. Hot foil plates emboss images onto your card stock versus cutting into your card-stock
4. A hot foil heating system is required, such as the Spellbinders glimmer plate foiling system or the Crafters Companion Hot foil plate system for the Gemini/ Gemini Junior (please follow manufacturer's instructions on how to use your foiling machine system)
5. Hot foil your image on desired paper or card-stock (textured, specialty or contoured card stock may not provide the most ideal results)
6. Use “hot foil” not “transfer foil” for best results
7. Don’t overheat your hot foil
8. If your hot foil plates or dies also have cut blades, please ensure to use them correctly (usually facing up, but please check your machine’s manual to avoid cutting into your hot foil machine)
9. The shiny side of your foil should face away from the card stock to ensure the foil transfers correctly
10. Share your beautiful projects with us at #scrappytailscrafts
