But want to learn as much as I can as my funds are limited and I hate to waste my funds for crafting. So I loved your video, learning as much as I can about foiling. Loved your referenced to products and machines available in the UK. That has been invaluable advice for me. Very comprehensive. Thank you for your sound advice. 😊❤️

Paper was my first love years ago and still is today but I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate it into my woodworking and such. You’re an excellent teacher, you did such a detailed job that I’m very tempted to look more into this type of craft. I’ll be checking some more of your videos. 🙂

I'm so glad you made this video. I have a WRM foiling quill and I wasted so many sheets because I cut through a whole packet, not realising the foils had clung together, despite me trying to separate them. One tip is to use low tack tape on a waste area and lift the sheet away.

By chance, I saw your thumbnail for this video and immediately had to click on it. This is such an educational video, Nancy! I can't tell you how much I learned from you. One thing I wanted you to know is this. About a year after the Minc Mama came out, I emailed Heidi herself to ask her how many rollers were in the Minc and she replied that there were 4 in total. Most laminators you buy have 2 rollers so that fact convinced me to purchase the Minc. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, Nancy? No matter, I just wanted to give you a huge THANK YOU (I am now a new subbie)

Hi Nancy! Really enjoyed this presentation. I’d like to say for Aussies, join the spotlight club as they send out 40% off discounts regularly and the minc machine is really affordable that way. Secondly couture creations makes the go press and foil and I’ve never had a problem using the gopower and emboss with the couture creations foil press. No over foiling or anything! I’ve also used my couture creations foil with toner and minc with no problems! It’s probably not recommended, but I’ve had great results! However, I can’t use minc foil with the press! ( which everyone probably already knows!) Happy new year Nancy and foiling snobs!

I bought and used a laminator for years. It worked fine. I had a birthday this last year and my husband found the Minc, on sale. He purchased it for me. It works better than the laminator for me. I believe there are 2 rollers in it, not one, and it gets hotter as well. The laminator is not bad, just not as good. So, u have to consider will u foil often? Will u have enough budget? If u r unsure, I would start with laminator because it is so inexpensive and find out. Good luck!

First things first I got to be a goober, I so wish I had noticed the timestamp, because you did an excellent impersonation of the sound a Gemini Junior makes LOL Seriously I watched almost 3 hours start to finish took a lot of notes because I forget things easily. I had most of this right in my head from watching your other videos, but you definitely cleared some things up for me, and answered some questions I didn't know I had. So thanks for that! I don't know that I'll ever get the toner ink and try it with the Brayer, but in case I do, do you think it would wash off photopolymer stamps or only Red Rubber? I'm thinking it might ruin photopolymer. Several years ago I had to sell my Big Gemini and my minc machine, I now have a Gemini Junior but still need to get a minc again. I have friends that I introduced to foiling that purchased a laser printer so now I can help them even more by directing them to better cardstock and foil. We just haven't been able to get together because of the virus as they have a compromised family member and since my son who I live with is an RN whose entire unit currently and at times has been entirely covid + patients we can't take the risk. Speaking of disease, why is it I have probably more than I will ever use but still have several thousand dollar wish list lol Nancy thank you so so much for doing this. This is a fantastic resource that is going to help so many people!! And you can quit repeating the same things a thousand times and say go watch the video. 🤣 J/K. Big Hugs!!

I am going to get the spellbinders glimmer system because I have a bigot. If I get the Anna griffin electronic empress mini die cut machine will the hot foil dies go in it. Also I have a minc. Do I understand that I can use those laminator pouches to laminate a document since I don’t have a laminator. Also I had just order #110 reflections paper from Michael’s with a coupon. Should I return it and get the hamilco paper. I don’t know how glossy the reflections paper is. And maybe I don’t need the #110 paper. Thanks This was a great video as well as another of yours I watched. I feel like I am now somewhat informed. I had never used my minc with the die cuts it came with and now at least I have some understanding of the difference between the machines and foils.

You can laminate with thr minc, yes. Those are not laminator pouches they are non adhesive carrier sheets to keep everything protected. No 110lb paper won't work. It's too thick.

No, hot foiling does not work in the Ann's Griffin Empress machine. Those are not dies, they are hot foil stamps and you need to use them in the Glimmer which won't fit in the Empress.
