Fancies and Flocked See Thruz

What are they and how do I use them?
We are asked this question a lot. 
Fundamentals Fancies and Bella! See Thruz are pieces of foiled or flocked acetate that you attach to cards and scrapbooking layouts to embellish your work. 
Each packet has 6 sheets of acetate, all different designs! 
Foil Fancies come in Gold (FNF10),  Red (FNF34) and Silver (FNF41).
Flocked Fancies come in Chocolate (FNF29), White (FNF58) and two Black designs (FNF27 and FNF36)
Bella! See Thruz come in White flocked (EA55)
With my head firmly in Christmas mode, I chose a packet (6 sheets) of Red Foil Fancies (FNF34) and made these Christmas Cards.

How do I attach them?

Cut out a frame. Position the Fancy on the back of your piece of cardstock and trace around it, using a craft knife, cut the frame 5mm smaller than the outline. Using normal sellotape attach your Fancy inside the window frame.




Cover adhesive with bling. Using liquid glue or dots attach the acetate to the card and cover the adhesive with bling.


 Use bling to attach the acetate.



Use the design to hide the adhesive Using liquid glue or dots, place the adhesive behind the design so it doesn't show from the front.


What adhesive should I use?
I used Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue (the blue one) or Glue Dots or Bella! Bling to attach them to my work.

Enjoy!  I am mailing out my Christmas Cards today....what a wonderful feeling to have them all done and on their way.

These cards are all great Sue. I used the Gold foils and put a spot of ribbon glue behind a pattern. That seemed to work well. On others I used bling as well.

I may just copy some of your ideas. I've been to the Post Shop as well with all my cards. Still some special handmade ones to make though. Did a huge yikes when I was told what all the postage cost was. Trust me for connecting with family all over the world.
