Gold foiling using FRIXION erasable pensketch, quickie glue pen

Finally found a really good crafty use of the erasable characteristics of the FriXion Clicker 07 pen. I used the Silhouette Cameo to sketch happy birthday sentiments on a page of my label paper, Then I used the Quickie glue pen by Sakura, to trace over the sketched text I then let it dry and then applied the foil. The wonderful part about the FriXion pen is that if I missed a part of the Black Ink, that is,  I did not completely cover it with the Quickie glue pen it doesn't matter,when it's all finished and the foil has been applied,


 I just used the heat gun and the ink that was under the part I traced disappears so all I'm left with is the text that I traced in gold which is exactly what I wanted you can see the process in this video

More experiments using Frixion erasable pens and markers

I am uploading this video but have to apologize in advance, I had a horizontal flip setting on my cell phone camera app on, so I am mumbling in the beginning since I had trouble figuring out why printing was backward, and every move I made was opposite, the camera was recording in mirror image mode and it totally confused me as I looked into the viewfinder, I used the app (Video FX) so I could stop and start video, not all cell phone cameras can do that.  So then I had to find software that would enable me to get the video flip horizontally so you could read the writing without having to reflect it off a mirror.  Aaargh, ya learn something every day.  OK, so here is the flipped correctly video, but it still shows how discombobulated I am.  I didn't want to recreate all the steps and do a new video, would have been running back and forth up and down to the refrigerator, so in this video, you get the ideas.

Create your own Adult Coloring Books/pages

Only better since you will end us with stickers to use on cards, gifts, packaging etc.
Because my printer is not cooperating with me doing Print and Cut, I have found another way, I call Sketch, Cut then Color. I have found it is a lot of fun to color the designs myself with things I have on hand, I use Watercolors, (Derwent Inktense Blocks), but you can use almost any coloring medium, ink, crayons, markers etc.  I find the full sheet labels I get from Online Labels take color nicely, you may want to experiment.,

this was design before I added black accents with a pen. In the video below you can see final image.
You might want to make up sheets, oh OK, you can use your printer and do regular print and cut if you have a reliable printer, but you don't get to use whole page because of registration marks, but now you have two options, so for the budding artist in your world, pages like these with their favorite images, cartoons, animals, etc. for them to color, then use their art as stickers might make nice gifts,. 
Here is last video, I made

This is the erasable pen I used for my last sheet of stickers.



These are images I traced, from Hungry Jpeg, Vintage Floral Pack, only $3 and I believe they are having a 20% off sale now.
