5x7 folded foil greeting card- foil only?

I don't see a way to keep a color background and just have foil text on this particular card.  Is that correct and intentional that this is a "foil only" product?

If that is correct then the only color + foil options are all flat cards?  I looked through all the foil options that came up in the create menu and I didn't see one.  Or did I overlook folded foil + color cards somewhere?

As an experiment, after no luck the usual way, using your linked card my creative brain said there’s gotta be a way. Try this, circle shape—white border and fill. Top layer —Font geometric x black. Use a Hollow font. Result is not what you want, but a way to get a foil font, white background on card.

Thanks for looking, but, yeah, not what I am looking for.  I want my art as the background of the card front with foil text.

It’s do-able. I tried it using  art on front and had a choice of several filters,interesting but not anything I would want to sell. Worked ‘eh’ okay. Do-able. It “foils” the art literally. Tried a script font on the top layer, above the art layer, another ‘eh’ result. (Past lithographer, so I view it from that perspective, don’t have my press anymore tho, still I press on…pun intended )

The foil holiday card : https://www.zazzle.com/pd/spp/pt-zazzle_foilflatholidaycard?cornerstyle=normal&envelopes=none&foilco... has a separate layer for the foil elements.  You can load your art on one layer and then add foil text on the foil layer.  The problem (potentially) is that these aren't sold individually.

It is the only option I see that may work for you??

@PacifierCity it’s just a flat card. I don’t mind selling in a pack of 5 but I was hoping for a folded note card type card where someone can write inside.  Thanks, though!

I'm having the same problem.  I wanted to create a greeting card with a foil and artwork front, but I'm only seeing foil as the option on the front layers.

Yeah, the folded card is only foil printing on the outside (regular printing on the inside). For color & foil together you need to use the flat ones.
