Step-by-step guide to creating gold foil text



One of the most desired effects in the crafting world right now is the gold foil look.

When cutting with the Cricut machine you're certainly able to cut actual gold foil. But what if you want to print a faux gold foil effect?

This guide will show you a quick and easy way to do just that!


1.

You're going to insert a  gold foil gradient that you have uploaded into Cricut. I used this gradient for this project.

2. Then you're going to choose your font (I used Love Affair) and enter your text. Resize your text to fit within your gold foil gradient.

Size your text according to the gradient that you wish to use. Some might avoid the white part of the gradient if you intend to use this text on a white background. I included the white part because my background is grey.

3. At this point you're going to select both your gradient and your text. When both are selected, you're going to slice them.

4. Then delete the gradient.

5. And delete the original text.

Voila! You have a gold foil font for printing!
