Amy, I give you a lot of credit for trying different techniques. I have not invested in any foiling products. I just use embossing powder… because I have about a million of them!😂

[@itsapassion]

Hi Amy, I’ve had similar results with the sticky and embossing powders. Not surprised but happy to see I’m not the only one. I know not everyone has a laser printer (hubby chose it) , but hands hands down, down, printing in black ink (or copying a stamped image using the Copy feature of the printer) yields the best and most consistent results when I want to foil something. Just wanted to share that in case others with laser printers hadn’t tried that yet. ❤

[@traceyallen8286]

Thanks for showing your experiments. You just saved me buying another product to try when I can get double duty from something I already have. You're a very crafty lumberjack🤣🤣

[@victoriagardner5144]

Amy, I love foiling but like you just proved it’s a hit or miss game. When it works, it is beautiful. I have had good luck with the toner sheets Gina K sells. Your card turned out very nice anyway!

[@AScrapOfKindness]

Kudos to you for showing us the dark side of being creative and that a pretty card can still be the result of our less-than-perfect attempts. I have a hot foiling machine used solely for weddings, anniversaries, and Christmas. It just seems to elevate the cards or projects. I like the look of heat embossing and do have the clear and basic color powders. They are used rarely because cats are perpetually in, out, and on my space, and I fear they will eat, breathe in, or get it in their eyes. When I do emboss, it's an all day project with the door closed and audio loud enough so I can't hear the scratching and crying. Sigh...

[@k9crazyWpg]

Beautiful end results - love your card! I, too, struggle with stamping/foiling and stick to laser printed foiling. Sigh... I'm eagerly awaiting the day we can successfully use our favourite stamps with foil...

[@Mari-cre8s]

Thanks for sharing a great technique comparison video with us. Sadly I have not had consistent good luck with any technique so far trying to foil from my stamps…. I am also becoming pickier about who’s pre-printed panels, and the designs, that I use. Somewhere I picked up using a swiffer-type cloth quickly over panels and foil sheets before putting them through my minc. Which imho really does work better than a regular laminator, for me! Foil, and heat embossing really does elevate a card. Agree with others, the hot foiling fad is too much of a rabbit hole for my budget!🧑🏼‍🎨😀🍁

[@amigasi]

As many crafters I don’t do foiling, there so many things I can use to do handmade cards. Thank you so much for showing your real experience with foil ❤

[@LisaVornhagen]

That was a very interesting experiment with interesting results.

[@laurenz.-queenlorecreation668]

Come at it like a like a lumber

[@susandavenport9257]

Thank you for your honesty! ❤❤❤

[@reneeallen1118]

Amy! Thanks so much for this video and thanks for doing all of the investigative work for us. You’re the best!

[@Honeybee1975..]

I appreciate you trying this out and sharing it with everyone. It’s good to know and I’ll definitely be giving this a try!

[@bethjeans3780]

I hope you were wearing your lab coat and taking copious notes in your science journal. And how cool that the card you made looks lovely despite your trials and unthrilledness about foil! (I have a hot foil machine that was on a crazy good sale, even though I really wasn’t into foiling or the look of it. I took a class and don’t use it. It 100% works, just not my jam so much.)

[@michelegourd5742]

I have the same thing happen to me!! I never know if it will work!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@MarcyM_]

Great comparison!! 👍🏼😃

[@mandy.austin]

I like that look of foil which is a little bit patchy, especially in the background. I don't use foil much either - I love die cutting- but i have found the best resuts if you cant be fagged with laminating it and you don't have a hot foil machine, is the Decofoil DecoGel Duo which can be used cold in your die cutting machine, and also in your laminator.

[@debs55695]

Very pretty card!! I struggle with foiling too and get very frustrated. Either it doesn't foil the whole design or I get lots of over foiling so I don't use it as much as I would like. So I'm with you on that girl!!!

[@melissazabower339]

I've never heard of sticky embossing powder. Definitely the clear worked better. You might not have knocked off foil with the ink blending -- if there was embossing that didn't stick the foil, those bits are embossed and they'll resist the ink. 😊

[@nancyglaspie6735]

I won't be investing in any type of heat foiling. It's gorgeous but, another $ sucker! Lol TFS
