I didn't know where to post this question ..........
I need to use two kinds of paper together ........... one is silver and shiny like foil ....... the other paper is dull regular cardstock ...... but i need to make it shiny ........ this may be an impossible task ....... but I figured I would ask. I'm hoping that there is a spray or something out there!
I would do embossing ........ but I have to do 4 hundred numbers ........ so I need something QUICK!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

The best way I have found is to cover it with self-adhesive laminate. The one sided stuff they sell at walmart.

A few years ago I bought some Liquid Glass. Here is a url that explains it.

I live in a small town and needed shiny purple paper quick could not find it (in the color I needed) so I got foil tissue paper way to thin to cut. so I put it on sticker paper for the computer.I just peeled the back off the sticker paper and put it sticky side up. at first I just tried to lay it on and came out all wrinkeld cool effect but not what I was going for. so then I rolled it up on something and rolled it onto the paper worked like a charm I was aable to cut the shapes I needed. Foil tissues was about 2.75 for 8 sheets and I just used pain card stock. hope this helps.
