Foiling the waste!

[@nancymsimmons573]

This is one of the most informative videos I have seen. Many tell you to not throw away your foil scraps but no one has show us what to do with them and how to do it! You are awesome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

[@yvonnebond9795]

Agreed. So very Helpful 😊

[@dorothycattanach6470]

I really enjoy your videos of the foiling. I purchased the Gemini foiling machine 2 months ago and then saw your videos and watch them over again many times. I just realized I have a Laminator so will try with that too. I hail from South Yorkshire in the UK and I am a lonely crafter, and so enjoy watching video's for hints and tips. Off now to watch another of yours I found and then to turn on my Gemini's. Many thanks for sharing with us all. Take care Dorothy

[@gretchenwilson1482]

Absolutely the best information that I have received in along time. When to a big crop and took a class where we used foil, the gals were throwing out foil sheets, ugg, I hit the trash bins! I love to be creative, but love to save my bucks for something I really need. THANKS NANCY, you are a gem!💜🤗

[@Pebblesmas]

So agree, ans sooo smart, that using others bin stuff 🤭 love that 👍

I learned so much. Thank you 😊 😊😊

Fabulous recycling 😘

[@vmcdesigns-nl]

I have been saving my scrap foil ever since I started foiling, The full negative sheets with patterns I use for making new backgrounds and then in the black I ad a contrasting colour of foil. All the little scrap pieces I use for adding foil to texture paste etc for a more grungy look. ;) I forgot to thank you for the duster tip. I always asked myself why the foil didn't stick every now and then.

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

So glad to have found this video! I just got a Glimmer machine from Santa and hated to throw away the waste. Today I got my toner sheets and used your method with my Royal Sovereign laminator. Worked perfectly!

[@kathyweiser5808]

May I share....I used a magic cleaning eraser and cleaned one of carrier folders that I had a lot of over- foiling on. Very easy!

[@carlarogus1055]

[@penelopebo]

WOW!! What an informative video! You showed in an earlier video how to use the waste using the Gemini (which I did try) but this is so much easier & by using the toner sheets you can double foil which I didn't know. I think this is why your new subscribers (like me) are growing...we search KZbin for help with our new foiling machines & when we find you...well all I can say is" done deal"..you're the best!! Keep them coming..I just binge watched :)

[@elizabethnovak4951]

Thank you for your video. I haven’t done foiling in a crafty sense (only on certificates at work about 30+ years ago) and now that I’ve seen this video, I am encouraged to give it a try. Thank you again. Happy New Year!!

[@pjfoltz8810]

I bought the minc when it first came out. I do not have a laser printer and I am so happy to see that there are toner sheets! Just bought some! I will be buying the Gemini foiling machine after Christmas.

[@Perivale]

A big thank you Nancy for sharing this information. I bought a bunch of foil for nail art purposes but since I don't do my nails anymore I wanted to find a way to use them. This is the answer! Also, you are the only one who I came across who made a video explaining that there are TWO types of foils. I was going nuts trying to use the nail art foil, which is the hot foil type, with an iron. Foil was everywhere on the paper, so I bought a laminator only to have the same results. Well, with this method you saved my sanity and day. Thank you!

[@dianec3279]

Love the pink die cuts! So many little pieces of foil can be used with die cuts. Great tip! TFS!

[@civilizeddiva]

Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@LJVD58]

Just found your video. Thanks for a great tutorial ! I use my HP Laserjet to make toner sheets.

[@RamoArt]

Isn't it cheaper to buy toner sheets instead of printing so much on your own printer?

[@judyestrada1446]

Nancy - thanks for showing us what to do with the foil scraps & foil ! Very useful information! We appreciate you for your wonderful work and your information! 💕

[@krissyskreations]

Use the hot foil first since it's heat activated and going to stick anyway, then use the toner foil as the second layer of foil since it will only stick to the visible toner.

[@three2onemum]

Super helpful, i bought some hot foil but i dont have a machine to use it with so now i can use toner sheets which i do have but didnt know what to do with them! Thank you so much!

I bought the special plate to allow me to foil leftovers on the Go Press & Foil machine, but find it very awkward. I also have a Minc laminator and will definitely switch to using my leftovers this way. Great job. I always learn so much when I watch your videos. Thank you.

[@yungzubass9648]

I just find you. Thank you for the demo and sharing. I have mica by AG.

[@mar2tells]

I have been using this method ever since you advised me a while ago. So glad you have bought out an informative video for everyone xx

[@elaineselaine607]

thank you for a great video i have just ordered a foiling machine

[@WendigovanStudio]

I tried this technique some years back when I first got my foiling machine, but sadly I don't like how the foil dulls when u do the second layer. Such a shame, as it is a super cool way of using up what would normally be wasted. But if you don't mind the satin look on the 1st foil, after you have put the 2nd foil on, then it's all good. Really good to see this being put out there again as it has been a good few years since I got the original foiling machine to come on the market and it was shown this technique then. All the best, Diane UK xx

[@judithguthrie7335]

I use file folders from the Dollar Store to store foil waste separate from leftover cut foil. Both stay neatly flat and smooth.

Make sure you give that a good heat up and use some transfer sheets and shims, I have seen spotty results from it. Your foiling should be 99% perfect.

It’s important to take care of your leftover foil to avoid creases and and scratches as it has a direct effect on the quality of the project when using it again. Thanks for your tips.

But the hotfoil does not need the expensive tonersheet, does it? Can't u just stick that on a paper sheet as it already got glue on it and run it through the laminator ? Or do i misunderstand! And thx so much 4 all your awsome videos, u learn soooooo much from you! 👍 💋

If you have a foil with adhesive built in, it won't normally stick and be "messy" if you use it for the second layer of the double foiling? (like that gold starburst foil did) Why not?
