Not only can you use the same piece of foil twice but you can make double the projects!
I was so excited when I learned about reverse foiling and today I am going to show you the cards I made with some of the foil I saved from my first blog post on July 17th!

I saved the foils from the Sweetly Sentimental hot foil dies and the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil dies that made this card below! You will see that the butterflies are gold outlined and not foiled on the inside. When you reverse foil you take the same piece of foil so that the hot foil image will be totally reversed!

(The foil in this picture is one that folded on itself during the process and is just being used here for the photos as I forgot to photograph the actual foil!)

Once this beeps all the lights will be on and you can place the Hot Foil Shim over the die and then the Hot Foil Plate on the top of the sandwich. Unplug and run slowly through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

#170043 Reverse Hot Foil Die $27.00 this is flat on both sides and is made solely for the reverse foiling technique.

The Garden Silhouette works for most reverse projects and you get the bonus of a lovely image on one side to use for beautiful cards!
Your choice!
#170041 Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die $37.00

(Watch for what I do with the regular Garden Silhouette foiling next week!)

I ran both through the machine using the Reverse Hot Foiling Technique and this is what I got!

I embossed one of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ layers with the Fern & Flora 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the Basic White Base card for a great white on white background.

I adhered two of the larger reverse Butterflies and four of the smaller dies to the card along with the Sweetly Sentimental sentiment die in the middle popping up everything on Stampin’ Dimensionals except the four small butterflies.

I used the reverse Garden Silhouette hot foil in silver and cut the individual flowers out.

I embossed the 4″ layer with the Forever Plaid embossing folder and adhered it to the card base. I layered the flowers some popped up and some tucked behind and added a Classic Greetings hot foil sentiment underneath the bouquet. I added Basic Rhinestone Jewels and finished off this bonus reverse card.

Have you had the opportunity to see it – I will be demonstrating it at my August Studio Stamp-a-Stack on August 24th. Come and stamp with us and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
