Don’t start foiling until you watch this video!

[@beverlygannaway5046]

Thanks, Nancy. I know this video is 3 yrs old, but very informative.

[@angelatorres2181]

I came across your videos and it was perfect. My daughter has asked me to help with her wedding invites. So here I go learning a new craft. Thanks for all this amazing info.

[@elizabethkeeling-carreau1873]

I learned so much! Thank you for taking us down this rabbit hole. I know I would have made mistakes if I had not taken the time to learn all of these details from you. 🤗🇨🇦🤗

[@suzannelanglois8153]

🇨🇦 same for me

[@RobertaSharpe]

OMG. Finally finished the video. Learned so much. I joined the FSC a year ago, but finally went to the site and started looking at the Guides. What a great resource. Still wandering around in the learning curve, Still having fun and still loving every minute hanging with You and the FSC. Thanks again.

[@shellyrene5708]

So exciting - I just watched someone clean their transfer carrier using a damp magic eraser - removed toner and foiled images - good as new without any chemicals 😊

[@roseannem.tockstein8140]

Even if one has been foiling for years your video is a MUST VIEW.

[@NancyStamps]

Thank you :)

[@Thatbaddie_620]

I was gifted the Glimmer system. This video helped me to understand that for now stay in the hot foiling lane! When it is safe to change lanes(hot foil to toner foil) put on my blinker and execute lane change😁

[@aletheamcintosh2538]

Thank you for your video. I am new to foiling, have not yet bought a machine. I am in the UK and am looking at buying the Gemini Junior and foil press. 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. 😊❤️

[@yvonnegalan1595]

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺, Perth. So helpful to receive this tutorials!

[@fionnawheatley9095]

I’m from Perth too!

[@veramats]

I have the Minc and I just bought the Glimmer. I am excited about what I can do, but intimidated by it all. Thank you for taking the time to educate us all!

[@cindydecker57]

This is a fantastic full and complete review of foiling options and best practices! Your knowledge and experience is phenomenal and you explain it very well so that it is easy to understand. Thanks for all you do ❣️💞🥰❣️

[@cship9701]

I hit the wrong button. Again, thank you for all of this info. I have the AnnaGriffin minc. Think it might be time to try to use it? I think I might be addicted to buying the stuff not so much using it. You are an excellent teacher.

[@annagray6491]

I totally agree with you! It is so exciting getting the new stuff, then you see something else that looks amazing and you just have to get it! Then you want to make something and there is so much great stuff you don’t know what to do first …. Then you see something else you NEED to try! 😂

[@tanjadickmann3989]

I am the same 😂I love all the supplies and that beautiful stuff and don’t have time to use it,but I love it so much

[@vickisq6041]

Wow, this was such an informative video. Thank you for sharing. Just started foiling and I learned so much from this video! ♥️

[@MissMala]

This was absolutely fun! I don’t know how your video showed up on my feed but I watched it and I was mesmerized! I do wood products and signs and wreaths, and actually a little bit of everything but I’ve never done foiling. 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. 🙂

[@artebee905]

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.

[@pattiepan]

Great Lesson Nancy...........so glad I saw this first. I have a small mink machine. Great program and I took a lot of notes........thanks Nancy....lots of important tips pat

[@lyndahollins2881]

I bought my big Minc off marketplace, works perfectly. the lady I bought it from, even included foil for me to start.

[@debbiebaker7613]

Nancy I don't know how you manage to keep everything straight! My head is swimming!

[@wondaeleven]

wow I am so glad I watched your video I learned a lot from you thank you so much for your teachings you are excellent at explaining foiling. great job now I know what to buy and not to buy I will be watching all of your videos. I just can't say thank you enough.

[@juliehardy7510]

Woo! That took me two sittings but you are soo experienced. 🥰

[@NancyStamps]

I hope you enjoyed. Yes, lots of info to share.

[@MichelleColeCreates]

I got a big momma Minc for Christmas! I 150% agree that the Minc is better than the laminator, after personal experience! Love your channel!

[@witty250]

Hello, I discovered foiling a couple months ago by chance watching your videos!😀 Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏 I'm learning a lot!!!

[@benniebroo]

Thank you, I’ve just purchased my first minc machine thanks to your recommendations.

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Thank you Nancy. Really helps.

[@RobertaSharpe]

Thank you for such a thorough foiling lesson. I have all of the supplies , now to experiment. I have a long way to go but will be watching and learning along the well. Just to let you know I am bowing down to You, Empress!!!!!! BTW, Joined the FSC.

[@jennifergamblin1547]

omg you are AMAZING! So glad I found your page on my foiling journey! :)

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

This is a great video, thank you for sharing. I just purchased a mink 2 days ago and wish I had found this before I purchased the stamping ink kit and all the extras I purchased that I obviously do not need. Oh well I will figure it all out. Off to join your FB group now so I can learn more.

[@mercedescampbell813]

Love this video and the second video, saved both of them. First thing I did was run up to see which minic machine, yay, it a HS with the dots, cost $30.00 from TM many years ago. LOL, I also have a hundred todo dies and a gopress and foil. Oh well. I did fabric foiling with deco foils many, many years ago (it was a fad) in the 90's. I did purchase the "duo transfer gel" I haven't a lot of foiling but it is fun. I will join your group, sounds like fun. I think I have every color of deco foil. lol Great videos and so much information. Got too many machines to buy a new gemini. Happy Crafting!!!

[@dlphra]

It's taken me a couple nights of watching to get to an hour but I'll keep continuing to watch because you include so much necessary info! Tysm for taking the time to explain everything! btw H&H is awesome but I've also found ProWorld too. Too soon to tell which I'll like better but excited to find out.

[@TheSwatxmr]

too much product placement to skip just to get to the point of the video.

[@j8oxas]

Thank you Nancy, very informative, very grateful to you giving up your time again

[@CravNCraftN]

Hi Nancy!! 😃

[@NancyLynn]

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)

[@NancyStamps]

I always say a Minc over a laminator, but I know not everyone can find one or afford it.

[@vayes7958]

Well, I'm working on four pages of notes...😁👍💓 Wow, I'm impressed with your supplies. Boy, I wished I'd waited to buy my go press and foil.... We'll see

[@valbrenneman9071]

My stamped and embossed images foiled perfectly in my Minc.

[@kathymurach1719]

Hi Nancy...thank you for this show! I just ordered the blue bonnet foils...wish they had that raspberry sparkle color...sigh but im excited to get them. I cant believe how fast the owner was to respond. lets see how soon i get them.

[@franckelatter9829]

Thank you so much for all your time and information! I haven’t purchased any yet! I think I will go toner as I already have the printer

[@juanitaf5879]

Just recently found you and think your vides are so fun and informative. Thanks so much for sharing so much with us. Love your bubbly personality!

[@debbiebaker4515]

Ready to get started correctly using my foiling systems (Minc and Glimmer). I sure hope my results turn out better than they have been!! Fingers crossed.

[@carmenarzuaga3733]

Watching 2 years later, wanting to see if its worth the investment and which machines/materials to buy.

[@yvonnejonker3969]

Thanks you explain things very well and I even understand things now that I have not known before .

[@katieiddon5839]

Thank you so much for all the information. Will definitely save this video. Jennifer McGuire heat sets the embossing powder before running it through the laminator with the toner foil and seems to get great results. I have yet to try it. Xx

[@NancyStamps]

Yes I found if you use lower heat on the minc setting 2 works well.

[@corinnetonelli489]

Just found you.... wow! Thank you .... Awaiting my hotfoil quill pen, now I know what foils to choose, plus. Di on Facebook... from the UK . I will look at your other videos .

MAESTRA! Greetings from Quito, Ecuador

[@stephanieheiler2327]

The transfer gel now comes in a white version too so you can use the they're called enamel foil I guess on colored card also 😊.

[@NancyStamps]

Yes they are not that easy to transfer. The white Blanco gel only works with heat.

[@anitalegasse4144]

found you a little to late! when one of our local craft store closed they had all this foil for sale I bought them out. Yes and now I have a GLIMMER machine and a lot of the wrong foil.. But thanks to you I now know why muy machine wasn't working. It wasn't me, but the foil. So I will try again with the right stuff. Thank you. PS you know anyone who wants to buy some foils?😄😄

[@jessicay8207]

i saw a comment on another video that putting a piece of thick cardstock under your foiling with a normal laminator, it helps with the pressure. havent tried it myself but i am planning to as i cant justify spending £130 on a minc right now

[@jeanettereynolds3151]

So as a newbe just doing basic foiling on a card no need to use powder as foil wont stick to the happy birthday letters. Thank you really when you think about it is that same for when you but the white ink pad and tip the gold dust on.if i put static powder the gold powder wont stick to words.sorry if i sound stupid but im dyslectic and just making sure i got it right thank you uk

[@NancyStamps]

Do not add any powder. It interferes with the foil

[@wingandaprayer7777]

Thank you for this live from 2 years ago. I am JUST NOW discovering the joy of cardmaking and am interested in foiling. This detailed info about the differences in foil have helped me avoid making some costly mistakes right from the get go! Appreciate you and your channel. I do not use FB or I would become part of the FSC. Thanks again for the detailed info!

Same here. Just getting into foiling now and this video is a wealth of info.

[@fionnawheatley9095]

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!

[@glocat1963]

Thank you, Thank you for this Great tutorial. I have so much Deco foil and don't know what to do with it. I will try the laminator first then I might invest in the Minc. THANKS AGAIN ❤️❤️❤️

[@99zanne]

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!

Also the use shims don't use shims. When would I know that? I have the Hot Foil and Press machine. Would like to join your Foil Snob Club to learn so much more. I also have watched several of your foiling videos. Thank you for all you do.

I purchased some toner cards to foil over. I have foil on the blank areas as well. How do I prevent them from going on the paper and only going on the image? Thank you so much!

[@NancyStamps]

Check your foil, I suspect you could be using HOT FOIL, instead of toner foils? Or your heat is too hot.

[@jeannethompson5564]

Thanks so much!

Hi Nancy

[@cardstockcollector]

Thank you

[@DebadooCreates]

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!!

[@NancyStamps]

Yes Red Rubber is best on the toner ink

I just want to foil my invitations. I foiled on heat resistant acetate and it worked. I did it right at fed ex. When I tried it on my card stock it didn’t work. I ran it through the laminator multiple times and it just didn’t work on card stock. It stuck a little but barely.

[@NancyStamps]

Your cardstock needs to be super smooth. Try Hammermill Premium Color copy with the chameleon. 80lb or 100lb.

[@denicehernandez8583]

Can you overlap the foil so you don’t get a line

[@NancyStamps]

No. The foil is so thin the line will make a line of black.

[@bonnieshapiro3511]

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.

[@NancyStamps]

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. Use 65lb Recollections if you have a laser printer to print toner prints. You can not use an inkjet. Please join the Foiling Snobs Club on Facebook for additional resources.

[@NancyStamps]

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.
