Foil with your stamps WITHOUT a hot foiling system or laminator!

[@amyswares]

Have you tried foiling without a laminator or hot foiling system? I will admit I have a bit of a love hate with foil. I will keep at it though. Have a great day!

[@nmft7900]

I just got a minc and foil and the sticky embossing powder. It worked great the first time and I was excited! Then after doing the same stamp again, it over foiled. Now, I can't figure out what happened. I'm wondering if you heat the back of the paper after you have the foil on it, maybe after you run it through the die cut machine, and then run it through again, if that would help. Now I have to try that.

[@amyswares]

@@nmft7900 oooh please let me know how it works and if it helped.

[@kirriesummers5219]

I have been interested in foil for some time, but am not interested in buying another expensive machine. So thank you for this video. It is just what I wanted.

[@amyswares]

So glad you found it helpful

[@moosedawg71]

One of the tricks I learned and saw Tim Holtz talk about with the sticky embossing powder is have your foil read to go BEFORE you melt the sticky embossing powder and lay the foil on it the second it's melted, while it's still hot. You get better results.

[@amyswares]

Ooh good tip! Thanks

[@AimeeFleck]

Great idea! I think most of us have that sticky powder hidden somewhere 😂😂😂I wonder if a glue ink pad would work, too.

[@amyswares]

Ooh yea maybe! Let me know if you give it a try!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone suggesting covering a card panel with double side adhesive and then adhering the foil to the adhesive on the card panel. It’s simple, yet brilliant! Add the sticky embossing powder for stamps and a foiling system and plates are unnecessary!

[@amyswares]

I'm so glad that you like it! I don't have any experience with the glimmer or plate system so I can't speak to if those results are better or not. But this is a fun alternative regardless with stuff we likely already have on hand. Thanks so much for watching!

[@ebriggs3498]

Amy, I have been stamping since the mid-1980s. Sticky powder was a big thing in the early 2000s. We would stamp with it the way you did, and then sprinkle glitter on the sticky powder. You do want to use a very fine glitter, such as Art Institute Glitter. That’s what that Art Institute Glue was originally designed for, to fill in flower petals or designs with very fine glitter. Hence, the fine tip on the glue bottle. And yes, the foiling works well. Since you didn’t feel that it was quite as smooth as you would like, make sure that your embossing pad is really wet. The wetness of the embossing pad is what activates the powdered glue. Also, try running it through your laminator and your embossing/cutting machine to see if that improves the look and smoothness. Happy stamping! TFS!❤

[@amyswares]

Ooh great tips! Thanks so very much for taking the time! I appreciate it!

[@LadyLeda2]

I am so excited to try this Amy. Thank you !!! I think it may work better if you put a shim like another piece of paper or cardstock under the piece you are foiling than run it through your die cutting machine, would make for a tighter fit and the foil would not have gaps in it.

Good idea thanks!

I also enjoy cutting words/shapes out of a sheet of double-sided adhesive, sticking it onto my project, and then pressing foil onto it. This way, you don't get the ridges and holes show up when die cutting the foil, plus it works with glitter too, which looks great! So much versatility. Thanks for sharing your fab suggestions!

Fabulous!! 😀 Thank you so much for offering this ‘solution’ for a great way to foil without the expensive heating device (and associated plates). I too have some of that embossing powder just sitting somewhere since I bought it years ago!🤣🤣 Your tip to not heat it too much was much appreciated as I am thinking that’s why it has sat in a drawer all this time as a ‘fail’ … because I likely did heat it too much back then. I recently heard using regular embossing powder but running it through a laminator will also work, but this technique is much easier! Your process with the die cut sentiments was also helpful!! They look great. I can’t wait to get out my foiling supplies soon and try this! Thanks again for all you share, I really appreciate your content, creativity and style of teaching! 🌻😀👏🏻👏🏻🌷🦋👍🏻 ⭐️

I have tried it before running it through my cheap laminator after using the sticky embossing powder. It's been a long while but I don't remember it working well.

I'm wondering if it would cover even better with a smooth cover/cutting plate? I feel like the little nicks are from the cutting plate grooves. I also saw a gal use foil paper with her dies, glued it onto her card panel then run it through her die cutter using the rubber shim. It basically smushed the papers into one layer making a faux foiled card! Lots of different techniques to try. I'm new at this, but my foil arrives tomorrow to try the non heat techniques! I am also going to try to cut my foil with a rotary cutter since its so thin and wiggly.
