Foil Quill Layout by Paige Evans


Tuesday, August 18, 2020

Hey there! I have a new layout to share today using the Foil Quill by WeR Memory Keepers and my new Go the Scenic Route collection!
Check out the process video to see how this layout came together from start-to-finish:

To begin, I used the Floral Flip Flops from my 20 Days of Summer Cut Files as the basis for my design. You can use any image from your library and have the Foil Quill draw it! There are also USBs filled with designs that you can choose from. SO MANY FUN OPTIONS!

I cut a piece of Rose Foil to almost completely cover a piece of smooth white cardstock, stuck it in place with washi tape, and plugged in the Bold Tip Pen to begin heating it up. Let the pen heat up for about 5 minutes. Then I loaded the mat into my Silhouette Cameo 3 and the machine drew the Floral Flip Flops design. After unloading, lift up to remove the foil, and “Oooh!” & “Ahhhh!” So pretty!

For the background of my layout I chose the ombre B-side of Paper 24 which reminds me of a sunset, which I thought was appropriate for a beachy page. I wanted to use the Floral Flip Flops more as die-cuts, so I fussy cut them out and layered them on the background using foam squares for dimension.

I printed a photo of me and Fox and added it to the bottom right side. At this point I started embellishing with stickers and die cuts from Go the Scenic Route, keeping things in clusters and layers from the top left to bottom right side to draw the eye all around the page and create momentum. I used Puffy Phrase ThickersPuffy Word StickersCardstock StickersChipboard StickersEnamel DotsFloral Die CutsEphemera Die Cuts, and a phrase from the 2x2 Paper Pads. I kept the top right side of the layout empty to balance everything else going on.

To finish I wrote journaling on an oval Ephemera Die Cut and stamped the date below. I LOVE the sparkle & shine the Foil Quill adds to my layouts! And the possibilities for different shapes and designs is truly endless! I hope you are inspired to pick up the Foil Quill and my Go the Scenic Route collection!

Here is another look at the finished page:

  2. Gads, this LO is soooo pretty! As you know, I'm big on sparkles and I love those flip-flops. I've never used my quill on anything that big! Why? I don't know, cause it's really fantastic. I always love the little vignettes you build around your photos and journaling, it all draws your eye right there. I'm totally in love with the Enamel Stickers, more sparkle 😀🥰
