This is a video I wish I could thumbs up more than once! Thank you for getting right to the point and showing everything as you went along!

I just had GREAT success using the scoring stylus in my Maker with Cricut foil and some random textured cardstock I had. It worked with both a writing font and an image. I changed to line type as Score. I set the material to deluxe paper thinking it would apply more pressure than thicker cardstock and made two passes. Brilliant results. Also, you can just hand write using the scoring stylus too. Thanks Kay for your inspiring videos! If we only watched the Cricut instructions, we would never get anywhere as far

[@cleversomeday]

thank you for this data point and details!

[@roffie]

Came across this video because using the foiling tool that is designed for the Joy is a bit of a struggle at times. My favorite part about this is how bold the lines came out. Thank you so much for this alternative!

[@pinkgirly713]

Can I just say Thank You?! I just bought the foil attachment blade for my Cricut and have been disappointed so far. I just tried this technique with my score tool and am really pleased with the result! Now I wish I would have seen this video about a week ago...

[@roffie]

"Disappointed" captures my feelings on the foil attachment blade too! Thanks for the laugh :)

[@kathiehayes865]

Thank you for sharing. I had no idea this was possible. I thought only a minc machine foiled. You have made me one very happy crafter. 😊

[@fondukov]

Does it work with other termofoils?

[@HilaryHope-Sotherton]

I have recently bought a Cricut and want to use it to do slightly more unique and sophisticated projects to incorporate into my art and paintings. Just found your videos and working my way through them. Hallelujah! Your instructions are clear, concise, and easy to follow. I can use the principle and adapt them for my artwork although I am sure I will incorporate them in my cards and craft projects as well. Straight to the job at hand with no boring chatter and annoying pop-ups. Thank you so much and please keep exploring new techniques! Maybe I will become CleverSomeday too.

[@madelineford2906]

That was so easy to follow! I’m making table cards for a friend’s wedding and she wants foil accents, all of your tips will make this super easy!

[@tiffanysepiphanies9177]

I love this method, thank you for sharing. I liked the idea of the Foil Quill but this just seems so much more practical! Excellent video!

[@brinojos]

So happy to have found this video. Was looking to getting a laser printer just so that I can foil. No need for it now. Thank you. 🙂

[@SuperDoodleable]

I did not know the Cricut could do that! Thank you for sharing.

The instructions are given verbally as the machine is working, but I'll try to get a dedicated tutorial on this up in the future.

[@punkidunk]

Hi! I just found your video! I have tried almost everything that I have found online to do a design that I have to use for wedding invitations, but most methods are too complicated for me. Finding this video, I think, will be the answer to me. It looks so easy, and with beautiful results! I placed an order tonight right after watching your video. Although my design is pretty intricate, I’m hoping that it’s going to work! I have a Cricut maker, so I’m wondering if the scoring “blade” would work the same as the scoring stylus. I will have to wait for the transfer sheets to come in the mail, so if you have any thoughts on this, I would appreciate it very much! I will let you know how it works as soon as I do a few samples!

[@user-ht2gp9df6g]

Thank you for the short video. I like videos that get to the point so I can get to my project. Will this technique work with Cricut Joy?

[@jennifervelasco6846]

What is the tool being used? A scoring stylus tip? Can it be done with the scoring wheel tip? Sorry new to this.

[@cleversomeday]

I am using the scoring stylus. The scoring wheel would work, but really only for straight lines, not corners, curves or anything like that. Same as when you try to emboss with it.

[@jennifervelasco6846]

Would a the new maker debossing tip work?

[@cleversomeday]

@@jennifervelasco6846 I would think it would work well for this.

[@royaldiadem762]

Wow! Didn’t know the scoring pen can do this. So can you use the scoring pen with the Cricut adhesive foil? That foil is so tricky.

[@cleversomeday]

This only works with the Silhouette Transfer foil.

[@martii1226]

Will the new Cricut Foil Transfer Tool work with the Silhouette Transfer Foil in the same way the scoring stylus does?

Yes

[@21worldview]

This video really excited me, got special projects coming up. BUT. :( The Silhouette foils are unavailable on Amazon and sold out on your other link. I hope it becomes available sometime soon, somewhere.

[@RainorShine1]

This is pretty cool looks nice, I have a question you said that you Explore Air which that is the one that i have had an update, is the update in Design space or in the machine, haven't used my machine for a little while, I hope that they fixed the pressure of the score blade as it was so horrible and pointless, thanks so much, Also another question not sure if you know, I made a svg file of a letter D as I wanted the bottom of the D to have no lines when I imported it in design space it puts a line at the bottom can you tell my why?

[@CALABRISELLA24]

Hi! Would you be able to do a tutorial or advise how i can make wedding invitations and foil just the bride and groom’s names with the Cricut?? You would be a life saver!!!

[@cleversomeday]

Cricut's restrictive system would make it very difficult to do this precisely, unfortunately. Easy on a Silhouette, however.

[@Vampo09]

If you have an Apple product, iPad in my case, you can align the mat with the back camera, KZbin some videos from Cricut on how to use it. This to me would be the easiest way to do this. I’m unsure for Android products since I have not had the chance to do so

[@nataliwilliams]

Hi There, thanks so much for this video... I've just made this step by step, but when I pulled my foil off, it ripped my paper :-( any suggestions as to what I did wrong?

[@cleversomeday]

hmm. I didn't experience anything like that. All I can think of is that you might be using too much pressure. So try a lighter pressure or maybe a different paper.

[@Bbabygirl4]

I love it 😍 thank you!!!

[@BiggAshley]

I guess this is a slightly older video however, very informative! Quick question - is this essentially embossing the paper in which you place the silhouette foil sheet onto? Thanks in advance, I am a Cricut Newbie and still learning terms, techniques and of course, the Design Space software!

[@cleversomeday]

the Cricut doesn't really have enough pressure to emboss card stock/paper directly with the stylus like this, but yeah, its the same idea as if you could.
