Foil Stamping is something I've long loved to incorporate into my designs and this year I managed to get hold of my own hot foil press! Which means it's time to start experimenting with how I am going to transfer my own designs into a die.

Photopolymer is one method that I have seen work and today I'm going to be experimenting with some Toyobo Photopolymer plates to see if you can foil with them.
