How to Make a Foil Print on Zazzle to Sell or Buy


Fascinating foil prints or posters for Zazzle creators to make and sell. Or a customer to create and buy. Zazzle is constantly coming up with new product launches. One of the latest ones is foil prints of gold or silver. These come in sizes from 4" x 4" to 16" x 16". Of course, you can be a customer and would like to create your print or poster. Here is the link to get started for the foil print.

Follow the step-by-step instructions. Further down is a video that covers this a bit more thoroughly. Read and see both to learn how to create your foil print.



I am using a text image and a colored background for this print. You can add a background image as well. The video further down will show more of how to do this from a laptop. Please note that it may look different when making this from your mobile device.





After you click on Customize This Design, it will take you to the Tool Design. Click on Layers. You will see two layers, Front and Foil. I will add my text image in the Foil layer. An Etched Filter will pop up. There I can choose which one looks the best for my design.

Adding text only to the Foil Layer will be gold or silver text. Add a solid black Element shape behind the text, then the text will be clear within the gold or silver shape added. Next, click on Apply.




Happy with my foil design, I open the Front layer and add a background color. Black is always a good option. You can choose any color you want. If you are a customer, Zazzle offers background images. Those are not available for the creator to sell. 

I made the 16" x 16" size with the Gold Foil and the Faux Mat Border. The customer can choose a different size, Silver Foil and no Border. Then click on Add to Cart if you are a customer. 

Otherwise, click on Sell It and fill in your information. Hit Publish and see the final product. Below is what the final foil print looks like and is available to purchase. Personalize the image. Edit it to change the colored background or add a background image.



The inspirational quote of "Excuses" with a colorful background and no border on this print is shown below.

Ceramic Knife Box Set Review


The Ceramic Knife box set comes with three different sized kitchen knives (3", 4" and 6") and a ceramic potato peeler. The translucent protective sheath covers over the blades. A sleek black box with a cushioned area for the knives and peeler to fit it all in, makes a nice storage place to keep this kitchenware in when not in use. It is easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher, and so lightweight.

This "must have" kitchen set was sent to me free in exchange for my fair and honest product review. I have reviewed many products. Free just for trying it, or items which I had purchased. If I find something not so favorable about a particular product, it is included in my review.

Though I had seen demonstrations with knives like these, this is the first ceramic knife box set which we have owned. I cannot compare it to other ceramic brands but it can be compared to the steel blade cutting knives. Stainless-steel blades do get dull over time. We have had the handles corrode on some steel knives. The ceramic knife will never rust nor corrode. It is much sharper than an ordinary knife. The ceramic blade hardness is rated at a 9.5 and will not have to be sharpened as often as the steel type. It could be several months or years, depending on the usage before you would have to sharpen it. To keep it sharp when needed, you will need to use a Diamond knife sharpener for ceramic knives which comes with a diamond sharpening wheel.


Let the Testing Begin!

We began testing these ceramic knives with cutting up pork chops. The knife cut through the meat in nice bite size slices with the ease. Just like cutting through smooth creamy butter.

The best way to see these kitchen tools in action was making a video of it in action. More than anything I wanted to try the potato peeler. Having bought many steel peelers which dull right away and are what I would call throwaways, the ceramic potato peeler looks like something which will last for years from now. Below are some videos of how easy it was to use in our demonstrations.

Ceramic Potato Peeler 

Demonstration how easy it is to peel the potato, my husband also showed that men do work in the kitchen.




Ceramic Knife Cutting Potato

In this demonstration, the potatoes are being cut up with the ceramic knife, after using the ceramic potato peeler. These are being up thin for American fries.


The Pros and Cons


Pros
  • Sharp blades that won't corrode, easy to clean, stain and rust proof.
  • Easy to grip handles that have an ergonomic design for less hand and wrist fatigue. (A plus for someone like me who is a long time CTS sufferer.)
  • The company offers a 100% money back guarantee it not satisfied.

Cons

  • Not so much a negative, but does not come with a pamphlet with use and care instructions. Would be a good add for this product.
My Recommendations

Quite please with the ceramic knife set. It performed nicely and stayed sharp. It would make a nice gift for Father's Day or any occasion.
