Foil Hand or Foot Print Keepsake

Step 1. Place your order, selecting whether you need a print kit to capture that little hand or foot.

Step 2. If selected I will post your inkless kit first, print kits are processed and dispatched within 2 working days. Once you receive the kit, please take prints and photograph them following the instructions provided. Then simply email them to hello@atriauk.com along with your order number.

Step 2a. If you selected "No print kit" please take a photograph of your chosen print from directly above and include a ruler or measure next to your print, this enables me to recreate your prints at their actual size. Email your image to hello@atriauk.com along with your order number.

Step 3. I will recreate your hand or foot print in foil - please note this product includes one hand or foot print per foil keepsake.

I hope this is straightforward however if you have any questions please get in touch and i'll happily walk you through the process.

Your foil keepsake will capture all of the little details from the print you provide. When supplying your own prints (by selecting -No print kit) we recommend using an inkless print method (wipe or pad). Alternatively you can use non-toxic ink pads or paint. If using paint, thin layers of paint produce prints with more detail whereas a thicker layer produces more of a silhouette style print.
I think it goes without say but just in case, please make sure whatever method you are using to take your prints is non-toxic and suitable for this use. We recommend our kits as they were originally developed to record new born prints in hospital, therefore we can be confident that they are non-toxic. There are also mess-free paint pads available from various websites, where the part of the body being printed does not physically come into contact with the paint – these are also a great option.

MATERIALS:
I use a hot sublimation foiling process. This method uses toner ink, real metallic foils and heat.
To achieve the cleanest foil possible, we only create foil prints on to smooth cardstock.

The cardstock we have chosen to pair with foil prints is 240gsm weight. Basically, it's a thick, smooth paper - think magazine cover without the gloss finish.

It is also FSC certified, which means that not only is it both biodegradable and easily recyclable, it’s also sourced sustainably.

Our Foils are a smooth, real metallic finish. Once adhered to the cardstock (by applying toner ink and heat) they create a smooth, metallic, reflective finish, just as you would expect.

SIZE:

Our foil hand or footprint keepsakes are 5x5 inches square as standard. If your hand or foot prints are too large to fit on this size, I will contact you to discuss finished paper sizes. Alternatively, if you would like to request a different size, perhaps you already have a frame to fill, please add a note of the required size at checkout and detail portrait or landscape orientation.

Keepsakes are absolutely the perfect gift for yourself at any time of the year, or perhaps to mark the milestones in your little person's life.

Using the print kit or taking your own prints, is the perfect activity for Mother's or Father's Day, with the bonus of then receiving your wonderful foil version after too!

Order additional foil prints by selecting the no "print kit required" option and adding your quantities and you’ll be ready to gift precious foil prints to grandparents and other family members at any time of the year.

Or perhaps you’re heading to a baby shower? Gift a print kit confidently knowing that you're gifting a precious keepsake that won't be replicated. The parents to be will have both the joy of capturing those scrunchy new born hands & feet and then they can send me their photos and I’ll double check the colours they would like for their foil version too!

They’re the gift that just keeps on giving. Your memories and precious moments, on paper, to cherish forever.

All of our items are sent securely, paper items are backed on to board to prevent creasing and damaged corners and enclosed in a translucent paper envelope.

All items are wrapped in tissue paper and tied with a bow (just how all gifts should be) before being nestled into their box for delivery. On occasion we will recycle boxes used for delivery purposes and we'd love for you to recycle our boxes and packaging materials too.
