Good job, Mona! In the late 80's, I had a job in a bookstore where I would use stamps like these to imprint customer's names on leather Bible covers with gold foil. Each Bible would take at least 15 minutes to complete. More recently, I worked at a print shop, where foil book cover imprints took a fraction of a second with digital foil stampers.
Wow!!! You have many talents! I’m guessing that you would use a ruler to make a straight line & really do a professional job! So how do you do the foil? What’s it called? I would love to stamp using foil!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts You can buy gold foil stamping rolls online for about $15. The foil has to be hot for it to bond with the leather. You can also buy hot foil stamping machines online. The new ones have digital screens, but vintage ones are available with just the arm press for under $100. I am not allowed to say which websites. My comment keeps getting automatically deleted.
@@andrewlawrence1834 interesting that the comments are deleted! 😮I’ll do some research- might be interesting to just see how it works! I love the look of foil stamping! Thank you for the info!
@@KitchenCounterCrafts You can shop for those items on the big sites. Apparently, there are restrictions against naming them here. By the way, I was talking to Mohamad Faridi about your testimony and he will probably be contacting you about interviewing you on his channel.
I have all the tools and leather too. Bought the metal embossing pegs at Harbor Freight, the long arm punch on clearance (mine’s pink), and the leather pieces came from Scraps KC. I don’t have the block though. I finally found out what that cut on the end of your bookmark is called - it’s a fishtail. I’ll have to refresh myself on the punch by watching your video. I have the hammer kind of eyelet setter and actually prefer it over the large arm punch because those eyelets always seemed to fall out.
Wow! Sounds like you are all set! Yes- the hammer set for grommets is better but for these little ones, this works too. Didn’t know that Harbor Freight had the embossing pegs!!!
