Hi. Thank you for the great video. Could you please share what foiling machine you used first the second step to print on the black cardstock?

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hi! So glad that you enjoyed the video! If you check out the video description under the “my filming equipment” section there are links to the brother printer and the minc foiling machine that I have used in this video as you’d need both to foil in this way. Thanks so much for watching! ❤️

Hi Gemma, Thanks for this awesome tip! I have the Maker but it's very finicky when it comes to how dark my cardstock is when I do print then cut. Also, do you have a brand of colored cardstock you like best for printing? I'm in the middle of a project but it's not super smooth cardstock, so my toner is printing a bit blotchy. Thanks so much!!!!

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hi Patti! Thanks for watching - I’m glad that this helped you, I use Hobbycraft card mostly when I am printing. Although I don’t tend to do much really 🧡

[@pattibaileydesigns]

Thanks!! @@GemmaElisabeth

Hi, do you have a tutorial on how to make the foil business cards please, they are beautiful!!

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hey Barbara! There’s one coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled for it! Thanks for watching 💛

[@barbra429]

Hi Gemma, did you ever do the foil tutorial?@@GemmaElisabeth

@barbra429 hi! I did yes it went live a couple of days ago How to Make a Toner Foiled Ticket / Voucher for a Gift this Christmas kzbin.info/www/bejne/faq4oXZ4oNN0l8U

Can’t wait to try, but I have score lines to,, hopefully it works. I have a Maker3 and yesterday it cut my purple sheet, but score lines were not in the right location and today it won’t cut at all.

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hey! Sounds good! I’d probably try adding your score lines manually afterwards as I think you may find it hard to line up otherwise, also if it’s scanning but not cutting you might have a glare off your paper so try turning off the lights in your room and see if that helps the machine to work out where it needs to cut. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 💚

[@danib711]

What kind and brand of card stock do you use ?

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hey Dani! The black and the pink used in this video is from Hobbycraft’s premium cardstock range - not sure if you’re in the uk? You can find it www.hobbycraft.co.uk/rainbow-card-a4-200-pack/6664721000.html#hc-060-2-pdp thanks for watching 💜

[@janehuff2434]

How did you get the registration marks on the colored paper? Is it necessary? I'm trying to make wedding invitations on light colored paper using print and cut.

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Hi! Yes you still need them in order to place the ones from the white sheet otherwise the machine won’t know what it’s cutting and where. Thanks for watching! 💛

[@2GLash]

Thank you. I was just about to throw my cricut out the window😂

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Ahh don’t do that! Just keep watching & we can learn so much together! Thanks for watching 🧡

[@Foilfaced]

Just stick white labels on each of the corners of the dark substrate before printing - then the printer will print direct on to the the corner white labels :)

[@GemmaElisabeth]

Fab idea! Will give it a go!

[@barbra429]

It seems you would have to waste a lot of ink if you are printing a lot of different projects?

[@GemmaElisabeth]

I tend to keep a set of the "corners" handy now if I am doing another project I just save them for when I need to use them on a darker project like this one, there's no waste that way - thank you for watching :)

[@barbra429]

@@GemmaElisabeth If you get some white correction tape and put it just on the inside and outside of all four corners, and it cuts. You won't have to waste ink on double printing, nor cutting anything out. I hope this helps. Let me know if you try it or if you need a photo of how to do it

[@GemmaElisabeth]

@@barbra429 great idea!

[@barbra429]

Since correction tape can be unpredictable, I am also going to try little strips of sticker paper.@@GemmaElisabeth

[@barbra429]

@GemmaElisabeth that's a great idea. It seems simple and easy, I didn't realize I could do that.
