First Look at the Heat Foil Pen with the Silhouette Cameo 5 🔥

Let's get to unboxing the new heat foil transfer pens from Silhouette! I show you how to set up the project in Silhouette Studio, get through the Send panel, and insert the pen into the Cameo 5.
In this set, you get 2 pens - a fine tip and a wide tip, plus enough material to get you through a few projects! You can grab yours here!

Super excited- just got my pen today- can’t wait to play. Thanks for sharing all your tips!

[@silhouettesuccess]

So exciting! The results were amazing. If you feel like sharing your work, you can join the Silhouette Success group over on Facebook. I would love to see your projects.

[@Salialto]

So cool!

[@silhouettesuccess]

I love that there is no cord!

[@yesiamsharon]

Mine arrived yesterday so I am thrilled you posted this. I haven't opened it yet. I'm excited for the cards I hope to make.

[@silhouettesuccess]

I'm not much of a card maker, but this might change my mind on that! The results are amazing!

[@GrooveYouVerse]

Just ordered my cameo 5, and it’s my first silhouette coming from a Cricut explore 3. This is definitely on my list of items to get. 😊

[@silhouettesuccess]

It works beautifully! I'm not usually one for card making, but this little tool has changed my mind on that.

[@lisalind4813]

I just got mine 5 minutes ago. Can't wait to use them!

[@silhouettesuccess]

The new tools are so cool! How exciting 🥰

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

I’m going to try this.

[@silhouettesuccess]

Have you joined the Facebook group? I'd love to see the finished project.

[@user-wz7tt8sq3j]

Beautiful card!!!! I did not know about the project tab!!!! I am learning soooooooooooo much from you!!! Thanks🥀

[@silhouettesuccess]

Thanks! 🥰 Did you watch 5 Features you Should Be Using? That one has a few hidden secrets. Lol

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

Me neither! I’m fairly new to it so I guess I wouldn’t know.

[@silhouettesuccess]

@@arleneaugustahair8393 I still learn new stuff all the time. That's half the fun!

[@traceybartlam7737]

That’s lovely foiling. Great to not have a wire to look out for!

[@silhouettesuccess]

That was my first attempt at foiling, and I think I might actually enjoy making cards now!

[@arletivieira7491]

loved, thanks for posting. Is it possible to print on fabric with foil too? or what would be the best way to do this type of work/printing?

[@kathymanzo4061]

Thank you! Love your style of teaching. Do you have the embossing tool and embossing mat for the Cameo 5? I would love instruction on how to use them.🙂

[@silhouettesuccess]

I do! They gave me a bit of trouble when I got them and life was seriously hectic at that time. I had set them aside until I could focus better, then forgot about them. I'll give it another go!

[@kathymanzo4061]

Good luck with the embossing tool .I know you can figure it out 🙂 @@silhouettesuccess

[@phoebekarr2232]

I just received my new Cameo 5, trying out the heat pen.. when I first installed it it asked to turn it on.. by the time I was ready to SEND to print the heat pen was off and I do not see that little thermometer to turn it on. Any idea how to turn it on?

[@wookori]

I am wondering if we can emboss or deboss and then do foil over the top. Do you think that is doable? Would love to see a video on that if it's possible.

[@silhouettesuccess]

It should be possible! I haven't done a video on it, but I can add it to the list, for sure!

[@star9422-x5b]

If I want to make projects with vinyl but also engrave on faux leather. Do you think I should get the curio 2 instead of the cameo 5?

[@silhouettesuccess]

Sorry for the delay. We just got back from vacation. I have heard that you will be able to engrave with the cameo 5 and the punch tool, BUT I haven't tried it, and I've heard the results are mediocre. I've not really had a minute to look into it. The only downfall with the curio 2 is that you're limited to a 12x12 cutting area. The cameo 5 can cut much longer projects.

[@scrapdemu]

Bonjour et a nouveau merci pour vos merveilleuses videos..j ai juste une question j ai achhete la curio 2 vu que j ai la caeo4 plus et la pro.ce nouvel outil va aussi fonctionne sur la curio 2. Merci pour votre aide et reponse. MURIEL ( BXL BELGIQUE)

[@silhouettesuccess]

Yes. All of the new tools will work with the Curio 2! It's the only machine that can use all of them. Great choice!

[@lisalind4813]

Is there a way to determine which fonts are single line? I bought some from so fontsy, but cant remember which. I may go to my account with them to see if i can tell what I bought

[@silhouettesuccess]

Not that I'm aware of. I wish there was a good way to organize fonts in Silhouette Studio.

[@dotbylee]

Can we use this tool in cameo 4

[@silhouettesuccess]

The power tools only work with the newest models, but you can use a different brand of heat foil pen. I think We Are Memory Keepers is the most popular brand.

[@valthompson1952]

I have creative fabrica what is the name of the font bundle?

[@silhouettesuccess]

It was a design. I think I had to modify it, but I searched birthday card line art.

[@Scatterbrain47]

Hi Brenda, do you know if QVC will be carrying the new Silhouette 5?

[@silhouettesuccess]

I'm not sure how they are dealing with distribution. I haven't even seen them in stores yet. There are some online retailers that have them, like Swing Design and Amazon.

[@Scatterbrain47]

Thank You @@silhouettesuccess

[@sylviaminter4247]

Good Morning Brenda, I love this could you please tell me the design number for this Happy Birthday as I cannot find it. Happy Sunday, Sylvia

[@silhouettesuccess]

It's from Creative Fabrica. www.creativefabrica.com/product/single-line-happy-birthday-bundle/ref/3248309/

[@sylviaminter4247]

@@silhouettesuccess thank you

[@julierossbrickley146]

Can the Heat Pen be used on the ES mat? Thinking it could help hold foil in place. Same question regarding Embossing toolsMy C5 arrives Sunday, and I'm pre-learning

[@silhouettesuccess]

I haven't tried either, to be honest. There is little to no information on the Silhouette website, so it's mostly trial and error at this point.

[@trader860]

I used the heat pen today (several times) on the ES mat. It works great, without any tape! The ES holds the foil like glue if you run it 1/2" off the card stock.

[@silhouettesuccess]

​@trader860 thanks for the info!

[@julierossbrickley146]

@@trader860 good to know...thanks. And what do you mean by run the foil 1/2" off the cardstock

[@trader860]

@@julierossbrickley146 The ES mat will not hold the cardstock well (it's too thick). However, if you make the foil slightly larger than the cardstock (about 1/2" is fine), the ES mat will hold the foil tightly and the cardstock underneath it. I hope this helps.

[@paulwatrobski8277]

How much foil comes in the set? Their website says 3ft of silver and gold, but their amazon details say 33ft of each. It's a big difference and im not sure if they're different SKUs or just one of the webpages is wrong

[@silhouettesuccess]

I bought the one from Silhouette. It was definitely 3ft. I was a little disappointed because it was kind of expensive for the cost. I would suggest going with a different brand.

[@paulwatrobski8277]

That's very helpful! Thank you! When you say to get a different brand, you mean a different brand of foil, not the heat pen, right?

[@silhouettesuccess]

@paulwatrobski8277 yes. The actual pen is amazing!!

[@susieme9045]

I still can’t get heat pens to work no matter what I do

[@silhouettesuccess]

What part isn't working?

[@Angelika5378]

I just wish the pen set were a bit more affordable. It's 110€ (almost 120$) that's so expensive Has anyone tried the memory keepers pens with the cameo 5?

[@silhouettesuccess]

That is a little crazy! They're $90 here. 😪

[@Angelika5378]

@@silhouettesuccess they were around d 80€ when I checked in December I don't know why rhe price changed so much

[@SirRonmit]

That's the biggest issue with the new pens ; too new that the software doesn't have any working profiles, so you have to make your own to have custom settings saved :( .. I do like how you can control the heat pen from the software, though. I did a dragon in my demo vid. Lettering turns out way better, like your card!

[@silhouettesuccess]

Yes! I was told that we could use the new tool panel in Silhouette Studio, but when I looked there, I noticed that it says it's for the Curio2 only. I'm sure they are working on it, but feeling your way through the dark is nerve wracking sometimes.

[@silhouettesuccess]

And I just subscribed.

[@edwardholmes91]

​@@silhouettesuccessI noticed a lot of the new tools, heat pen, embossing, etc. say Curio 2 only in the software, so I hope they update it soon. Do you think the heat pen will also work with 'Foil Quill' materials too? As they come in lots of different colours, and sheets up to 12"×12"!

[@silhouettesuccess]

@edwardholmes91 they should work with the foil quill materials! And I'm sure they will eventually update the software. They are adding new settings, it's just a slow process. I think they're more concerned with the Sonoma issue at the moment, but I'm just guessing. Lol

[@papierkowocom]

Great video, but for me this company is a prank. It is their own machine, their own foling tool, their own material set up and still it is not working as it should be.😂
