How are you getting on Maggie with the stuff I sent you?
I thought I would add this pictorial on how to make a basic card using hot foil.

Material.
Lo heat Stylus
Fine nib
Hot foil (available in various colours)
De-tacked Masking Tape
Brass stencil
 

This card is also using embossing powder,embossing ink pad,heat gun,card etc.

.Ink up a stamp and heat emobss to give a raised effect image.

.

.

.Cut out your stamped image and score and a5 card to make an a6 card,de tack a piece of masking tape

.place loosely your image in desired place on card and using a brass stencil place in the place you require the greeting securing at the top with the piece of de-tacked masking tape.

.place a piece of hot foil,colour side up,carefully under the stencil

.using your lo-heat stylus follow round ,SLOWLY,the stencil as if using a pen. Gently lift and remove the stencil only.

.carefully peel back the foil,keeping for the next bit, there is the greeting, line the piece of foil under the image on the left with equal amounts around the edges. Using the stylus again, draw around the outside,using the image as your guide,

.

.Again carefully peelback the foil,there should now be a frame in which you can place your finished image

.finish the card as desired and there is a hot foil card.
