DIY Foil Effects: NO Foil Machine Needed!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Let me know if this is a technique you are going to try.

[@cherylpress8216]

Love this . Can’t wait to try this technique

[@annesefton8305]

This is new to me and is a great idea, thank you for sharing 😀

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! Have fun!

[@Jax52reg]

I bought a sheet of glass (10x10”) at the hardware store and put masking tape on the edges. I taped graph paper on one side for a guide. I can glue, paint and stencil on the one side and clean up with an exacto knife and baby wipes. For glueing die cuts, I use scrapbooking double sided tape. Just remove the top sheet, apply your paper and cut it out. Remove back sheet and press down.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Excellent use of resources! Hand sanitizer is also great for removing glue from glass boards. Thanks for your tips! ❤️

[@rebeccasmithwick7001]

Very resourceful Jan! I paid &3 for the largest glass microwave tray I could find at the thrift store/ works great and the price was right.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

@rebeccasmithwick7001 terrific find!

[@nonayubusi266]

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! ❤️

[@sherylcahill4576]

I bought a second Minc machine; thinking that it was a fluke that the first one didn't work well at all. Wrong; the second one didn't work any better. I am so glad to have a way to use up all that foil I bought to use in a laminator. THANKS.

You're a great instructor. Thanks for sharing this.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Glad it was helpful! You’re comment really made my day! Thank you!

[@kerryevans3695]

I am thrilled to have found your hack! I am a beginning card maker and was a bit overwhelmed by the huge cost of all the gadgets and machines. When I finally get a die cutter I know now that I won't have to get a toilet too.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! This is not a cheap hobby that’s for sure! However, there are lots of ways to use what you have to achieve a similar look. I love foil, but cannot justify the cost of all the dies needed to achieve the look. I have a bunch of videos for beginners as well as options for foiling. Have fun crafting! 💕

[@cydneejaneargumedodawson8650]

🥰 Loved all that you shared in this video. Thanks so Much

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! 😎

[@angrosvenor2967]

Thanks for your lovely videos! I keep watching them despite how much I loathe Disney and its aesthetic. That you can pull me past that distaste is a big compliment to your clever ideas :)

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you!

[@carolhamm3394]

Thanks for the tips on foiling. Watching replay from Kelowna, BC, Canada 🇨🇦

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You are so welcome! It’s lovely knowing how far a video can reach someone! ❤️

[@janiceblough]

I admit I probably won’t do this, because I like the raised look. But I always enjoy seeing new techniques!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you for watching!

[@looploop60]

Thanks for the video. Between you and Lou, you’ve saved me lots of money and given me new ways to achieve that foiled look.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Excellent!

[@kirriesummers5219]

I can't justify the cost of hotfoiling, which is besuti5🎉ful. However, I can see there are good alternatives. So, thank you so much for your demonstration in this video. I'm thankful to be able to use foils in an inventive, inexpensive way. 🌹🇨🇦🌹

[@villagecardandcrafts]

As much as I love the look of hot foiling, I can’t justify the cost either. I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! 💕

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You are so welcome! Any metallic cardstock will work for you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch! 😊

[@markandcindihoskins6925]

Great!! I have a laminator but not the hot foil machine!! I don’t have a printer that does toner so the laminator is limited!! This will be so fun to try!! Thanks for sharing! ❤❤

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You and I have the same things….well the laminator is my mothers, but I’m borrowing it for the time being.

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

You should try the Stick It Sheets… I love it

[@1156Treecat]

Thank you so much for these ideas for faux foiling! I especially loved the Christmas tree card with the background you had! This is my first time on your channel and I definitely will be back. Subscribed so I won’t miss any of your videos? ☺️

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed the videos 😊

[@Buncobuddy]

Thanks for all the new ideas. Gonna try them tomorrow.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Have fun!

[@jogriffiths4797]

New subscriber here ... somehow your video popped up in my suggested list, and I love it! I also see you've exceeded your target of subscribers, so congratulations 🎉. I'm wondering what it would look like if the cover plate was used on the background panel with the tan mat first to make an impression, and then glue the cutout over that impression. I'll try these out when 7 month old grandson isn't taking all my time and energy 😂

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing! Give it a try and let me know. Come over to our little group on Facebook and show us. We would love to see it! My second grand daughter will be making her way into this world in less than a month. So exciting! ❤️

[@joh8982]

That's exactly what I expected her to do first!

[@karicoleman3548]

What a great idea!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you!

[@LyndaSakai]

Loved this I have loads of foil so now I can use it ❤️🤣

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Have fun!🤩

[@maureenherrera483]

These are really neat, thank you for taking the time to try them all out and share them. They all came out so good that I'm going to have to try them out. My machine didn't come with a rubber mat or a metal shim, I'm guessing you have the bigger one, but the cork technique sounds great I'll have to get one.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you very much! I have the Spellbinders Platinum 6 which is the small of those machine. It did come with the rubber mat, however at one point I put the mat away and couldn’t find it. Of course as soon as I ordered a replacement, I found it. 🤷🏼‍♀️. I bought the sheet of cork for something entirely different, but I works perfectly for this. I purchased it in the craft section at Dollar Tree. Have fun with this!

[@dariasikorski7217]

Looks interesting, TFS! I’ll have to give it a try.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Please do! I actually picked up some beautiful foil paper to do more. 😊

[@sylviaallnatt4641]

I was searching how to do hot foil technique. Thank you for an affordable way to do it! It looks really great!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! 😊

[@martamccool2740]

I like your video, simple, clear and direct to the point.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you so much!😊

[@PhilomenaCarolan-i9u]

Thank you, I am glad there are ways you can foil without a laminator as, it is touch and go.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Glad it was helpful!

Ohhhh I'm going to have to try this!!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

[@amkarei]

Ooo ... C L E V E R use of CORK!!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thanks! I have a few backups just in case I can’t find any when I need to replace it. 😊

Thank you

[@villagecardandcrafts]

You’re welcome!

[@susaneliot9242]

I’m wondering if the type of paper/cardstock that is the base (that the mirror cardstock is glued to) makes a difference with how much the die cuts get smooshed in (technical term 😊). What did you use? And thanks!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Great question! I use Recollections (Michael’s) brand 65# cardstock for my layers. I currently use Accent Opaque 100# (271 gsm) for my bases. I have not tried it on my heavier card. If you do, let me know what you think!

[@edithshaw2473]

This is very interesting! You said "foil cardstock". Is this a lightweight cardstock & not actually foiling sheets? I have some Cardstock in silver that would be nice diecut deco corners to try.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Correct! I am NOT using foil sheets. I’ve used metallic cardstock for all of this. I hope you give it a try and have fun!

[@vickygreen8064]

I enjoyed this video.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@amigasi]

I just found your channel, and is was great! Now, I will try this way of having foiled cards. Thank you❤

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@rosaryaruta3241]

Do you do classes on scrapbooking?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you but I’ve never done scrapbooking. I’m sure that many card making techniques crossover to the scrapbooking world though!

[@debramiller1150]

To use your foil you can run your cardstock through a 3D embossing folder. Use your makeup sponge an sponge on the white glue. I use Deco foil lay it over the glued area and rub!!! Turns out pretty darn cool. I don't like the Tombow "green" glue because it remains sticky. I made a card with that and a year later it was still tacky!!!! Yep. Have fun!!!!

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Yes that is definitely another way! Thank you!

[@carlagrayson1810]

Clever! I only use the green glue when I want a removable adhesive. Otherwise everything is sticky

[@edithshaw2473]

So what glue do you use pls?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Depends on the situation, but my primary glue is Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue. At times I use Ranger Multi Medium Matt. I love using Artist Tac micro dots for small die cuts. I believe I’ve included links to those products in my description , if you would like a closer look.

[@stormyswann6177]

I have the we r memory keepers.foil.also. what are you going to do with those?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I’m waiting for bonding powder to become available again from scrapbook.com. That way you can stamp the image and coat in bonding powder. Melt it as you would embossing powder then use the foil over the melted powder.

[@janetg.]

Ok, so why is it when I get glue on my metallic card stock, it ruins the entire card. When you get glue on your metallic card stock it's okay and doesn't affect the look of the card? I'm not using a lot of glue either.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Hello! I have a few thoughts on your issue with glue. You can try a baby wipe to clean up any glue on your metallic card stock. If that doesn't work to your satisfaction, then look at the type of glue you choose to use. I was using Ranger Multi-Medium in Matte finish. The finish is the key here. Matte finish blends into just about everything a dries clear. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching and reaching out!

[@stormyswann6177]

Do you have a specific day or time you post?

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Hi! I try to post on the weekend. This video I managed to get out on Friday, but generally either Saturday or Sunday. Do you have a preference?

[@stormyswann6177]

@@villagecardandcrafts no preference unless you are doing lives and looking for participation.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Thank you! I haven’t done Lives yet…someday perhaps! Let me know if there is something else you’re like to see. I’m always looking for inspiration 😊

[@anitaadams2193]

You do have a machine!,

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Not a hot foil machine! 😀

[@kerrymcgregor9771]

❤

[@elaineboyer7632]

Was it no foil machine or any machine??

[@villagecardandcrafts]

No foil machine.

[@ManuelaPatzel]

So, you still need a machine for it. Not all that cheap after all.

[@villagecardandcrafts]

Hello! A foiling machine adds a big cost and takes up additional space. Using what most card makers have (a die cutting machine) allows us to use what we already have for an additional technique. You can use double sided tape to create lines/ stripes and place foil on top of the adhesive. Additionally, you can use a tacky glue (one that leaves a tacky surface upon drying) to freehand or “color” with it. Once dry, rub your foil on top. No machine needed for those two techniques, but you will not get similar results to my video technique or true foiling. I hope this helps!

[@susanjr1202]

so messy

[@villagecardandcrafts]

I’m sorry. I’m not sure what you are referring to.
