Foiling with different mediums & stencils

Foil using: mod podge, texture paste, Heidi Swapp reactive paint & spray adhesive.

[@Sashaisnotgoingtocrybcofu]

Hi, let me just say tfs, I have tried diff mediums as well, after seeing your video. I even tried modeling paste, and was the best, better than the structure paste! 😮 I took my items out of my Amazon cart!!! 😆 Also I put it through my reg laminator. Ty, ty, ty.

[@demiyvonne982]

I know I'm 2 years late to the party lol. This was so satisfying to watch. This was the exact video I was looking for. I have both the texture paste and mod podge! You saved me some $$$ because I was seriously considering ordering some foiling products for my stencils! Thank you so much for this video ♥️

[@KayDejaVu]

Thank you for this! Nothing like a KZbin crafter. I never thought of using Mod Podge. I use it to stiffen my nylon while cutting and for transfering images to cloth. now I can use it for foiling! Wonderful.

[@jamiekaus1037]

Excellent comparisons. Saved me from making some unnecessary purchases. Who would have thought Mod Podge?

[@NancyStamps]

Jamie Jo I know! I was so surprised. yay!!

[@thecraftyladybug5064]

This was so helpful I’ve spent a fortune on Heidi swapp minc items and mediums xx

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Very helpful & great to see how each product works. I have Mod Podge and Texture Paste in my stash so I don't need to buy anything else - yay!!

[@barbarathompson2314]

Man this is the first time I am seeing a foiling machine in action. I am a huge crafter. I kind of wish I didn't see it because now I want it. LOL that was seriously thank you for introducing me to foiling!!

[@krisfrankel6424]

This is amazing. I love all of your comparison videos!

[@l.marsman8256]

Thank you for testing! Like you said, no need to buy new stuff if you have mediums that work! Thanks again!

[@mariacolosimo1728]

Awesome product comparison! Thanks, Nancy!

[@ThePaperCastle]

Thanks for testing these things! Great to know that I can use other mediums I have instead of products that were designed just for foiling. TFS, Heather

[@Taitcreates639]

So glad I finally watched this video, had bought all the Heidi swap things for stamping, love how well it turned out with all the other products. tyfs

[@newfabs170]

Wow Podge what a surprise Thanks Nancy for your demos

[@tanjayne5633]

Oh my~~~ thanks for this comparison vid! I only have mod podge and now I know I need not buy other mediums just for foiling! Love you!

[@TheLadyWoreBlack73]

Thank you for this. It's nice to have options that work.

[@bevacole]

Just scrolling through my card making videos and saw this. This video is fantastic! Thanks for sharing. (9/20/2017)

[@NancyStamps]

Thanks B. I recently did a whole video series on foiling. Enjoy!!

[@Challenor1]

Thanks for testing the different products!

[@Sharperthanu1]

You can cover those extra spots up with a fine point permanent black marker.Covers up stains on black clothing also!

[@vmcdesigns-nl]

Wow, this will be a money saver too. Mod Podge (or crea podge) will be my next try. :) I tried it with my D.I.Y spray glue I made as a pixie spray replacement and that one worked very nice too. Now when I spray my stencils I just place a piece of card stock under it so then I will have a foil version too. I made the spray paint with 1 part Aleene's tack-it over and over - 1 part water, though I think 2 parts water might work too.

[@RobertaSharpe]

Great comparison video. Thanks for sharing. Good to know what products are interchangeable.

[@DorneDawn]

Brilliant video. ~Thank you so much for showing us.

[@moosedawg71]

I was very surprised at the Mod Podge, good to know! Honestly though, I think the texture paste and the decofoil transfer gel are the same thing, which I think is just gel medium because I've seen people use gel medium and it works just as good as the decofoil transfer gel.

[@NancyStamps]

I think you are right Terri, same stuff.

[@samrcat4077]

Great video. Nice to know since I have that texture paste

[@ldg0324]

Thank you so much for this video! I tried the Mod Podge version tonight, and let it completely dry like you said, and Perfection! Couldn't believe it worked for me. I used a foam paint brush to apply the Mod Podge and a Heidi Swapp screen, which has a light adhesive on the back. Worked like a charm! Opens up a whole new world for more uses for my Minc and foil. I may try Tsukineko Glue Pad to try with my stamps and see how that turns out. Versamark did not work, but I wonder if the sticky embossing powder would? May try both.

[@NancyStamps]

If you take some minc mist and dab it on your craftmat and stamp with it, let it dry completely and then foil. Look at my new video "creative vision foil and what you can do with it".

[@craftysquirrel2958]

Thank you as I had some sad paste for foiling in my basket but it’s so pricey & I was like ouch 🤕 so now it’s out of there & i can use stuff I already have 👍🏼🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@veramats]

I was just playing around with stencils and I had such high hopes for the Heidi Swapp product and it was just too runny. So frustrating. I may spread some on my craft mat and let it dry a few minutes and then try spreading it.

[@NancyStamps]

She has a new mibc texture paste now. She discontinued the runny stuff

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

Thanks, Nancy! I think the Heidi Swapp product just melted too much and smeared all over. Seemed like the consistency of the product + heat level just do not work together. Maybe it would work better if it was used with a foam applicator to a rubber stamp, stamped onto cardstock and then foiled... that way it’s a much thinner application, and less chance of running when heated and melted. Perhaps another demo? Also, you have just saved me lots of $$. I have three jars of Mod Podge, so I’m totally going to use those up!

[@krystinsawyer]

I watched this several months ago, but didn’t have any foil. Now that I do, I’m going to try this out.

[@Reelstampfreek]

Hey there, Nancy!!! I’m a new subscriber and it was a happy accident that I found you. My first video that I watched was the one that you did where your Nuvo Mousses {or is it MICE, 😂}...I hope you can appreciate this story. So I’m bebopping along to to your video and I’m finding myself feeling protective of Nuvo and slightly annoyed at you {and please before you even think it, I already realize how irrational that is and that I should seriously call and make an appointment with a shrink!!}, but about as fast as that thought came into my head, another pushed it out and then it was dawning on me that you were making this video FOR people like EXACTLY ME!!! I’m fairly new to this side of the stamping and paper crafting world {REALLY long story short, I was a Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator for 10 years and had NO idea this parallel universe of a stamping world existed}. So while I’m very seasoned in stamping and many of the techniques that go along with paper crafting in general, I’m learning about all the products available out there and where they all sit, if you will, on the totem pole. To wrap up, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your videos. You are looking out for those of us who don’t have a money tree on our apartment patios {my hubby and I can’t even afford to live in a house, we rent an apartment 😢}, so videos that you do are INVALUABLE!! I must go now, I have many of your past videos to BINGE WATCH!!! Forget Netflix...I’m watching Nancy Stamps!!!

[@NancyStamps]

Thank you Michelle. If you put press and seal on them you will be fine. I love my Nuvo Mousse too, just don't want them to dry out. Thanks for watching and your kind comments!

[@aprildomer422]

Thanks for the AWESOME infovid Nancy! So very helpful for those of us new to all-things-foil! And Michelle Brown... I think you & I should be BFFs! I love your sense of reality humor & enjoyed your story almost as much as I enjoyed Nancy’s video. I’m so happy to have met you both today and wish you many happy days of crafting and creating!✌🏽😊💕

[@lesliedavis2497]

TFS. Great comparison!

[@anastasiapaggett3848]

Fantastic I now Mod Pod would take it full, the Hedi would have been ok if you had work for then to dry I always enjoy just don’t always agree but that the nice thing we are able to agree and disagree loving the work but my Mode Pod is the winners for me thank you for sharing

[@rehangoury9463]

Excellent thanks for all the best

[@spiderals1]

what a great video!

[@andrealavigne7824]

Great comparison! I honestly think the Minc reactive paint would have been better than it was if you had both 1. applied a thin coat, and 2. let it dry completely before running it through your machine. I don't know what you used to apply each medium, so it's hard to say for sure if you could have done better. For the paint, I would have used something like a makeup wedge to apply it through the stencil. And yes, it does have to be completely dry, or it will seep when you put it through the Minc. Hope you didn't ruin your carrier sheet. I certainly wasn't expecting those results from the Mod Podge or Texture Paste. I wonder how gloss gel medium would work, since it's a lot like the gloss Texture Paste? I may have to try that. Thank you for showing these products! :)

[@NancyStamps]

that's the fun of making these videos. We get to see what works and how. :)

[@kelsysalmon5660]

Thank you so much❤️. I love that I can use my foil with other mediums. Question ❓ Maybe you said this already was this heat foil or toner foil?

[@NancyStamps]

These were toner foils, but many of these techniques you can use hot foil without heat.

[@rehangoury9463]

Excellent

[@tinaleebear1]

Great video!

[@candacec60]

Great video. I found this too late , already ordered the deco foil.

[@cristinaljones]

Great video! Thank you!

[@AutismJourney_BeKind]

So cool, I'm so glad u did this!! I would have never thought to try the modge podge and texture paste. Awesome. Can you stamp an image with modge podge and then add foil? Thanks for sharing!! Soooo helpful 😀

[@NancyStamps]

Hi Robyn, I've had success with stamping & embossing with Ranger's "glue" embossing powder. It gets sticky when heated and then the foil can transfer. The mod podge and any liquid glue gets too messy. Thanks for watching.

[@mariposafria]

RobynLovesPedro Silva I saw a video where you can stamp with something called flitter glu and you don't need heat to transfer the foil. I think you can get it at Joanne's.

[@vickirn613]

tysm for this, awesome job!

[@gregthegreatofficial]

I am trying to use my own paint/ink which has metallic particles. I couldn't find that color in any foil available. Is it even possible to like have top layer and you paint it with your own paint then the bottom "release layer" painted on the dried up paint?

[@NancyStamps]

the problem with paint and foiling is that the paint could reactive and the foil will stick to it, you can try colored cardstock and then use the paint? Just try to experiment with it? We have a new foiling company now with a nice selection of foils: www.hhsignsupply.com/productcart/pc/Textile-Foils-c853.htm?idaffiliate=154

[@Jkk55]

Thank you brilliant!

[@reginahay5211]

Shouldn't even need heat on the spray adhesive. Apply the foil and wait for it to dry.

[@NancyStamps]

The adhesive is temporary stencil adhesive

[@Victoria19572]

Great Video. I am so glad it worked because I have the Modge Podge and the Ranger Texture stuff..But can you tell me, did you stick your entire stencil down with some of that removable spray adhesive or did you just tape it down on the side with painters tape and use a craft knife??? I am new at this foiling thing but I sure love the look of it. I have everything I need, EXCEPT, I would love to get that star stencil! Very Pretty! Sorry to keep asking, but do you know if there is anyway to foil with embossing folders? Thank you. Thumbs UP!

[@NancyStamps]

This is a great question and I'll see if I can work out a video answer soon. Keep tuning in.

[@hellekimery9537]

Can I use my heatgun instead of the machine ? How about an iron with waxed paper as the protective sheet ?

[@sharon94503]

It really needs the pressure from the laminater to press the foil onto the melted medium.

[@NancyStamps]

And wax paper will melt. Use parchment paper. A laminator or minc us recommended, not a heat gun or iron.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

That was awesome! Do you think that any texture paste would work?

[@melissaedwards7431]

You just saved me a small fortune! I had planned to order the Heidi Swapp because I just got a Mini Minc at Tuesday Morning for $29! I have alot of Minc foil but didn't have the machine until yesterday! Are you using the Deco Foil or Minc Foil?

[@NancyStamps]

I use both foils in my mini minc. Thanks for watching!

[@janicem8956]

Very interesting tests! Thanks so much! What else can the Texture Paste be used for?

[@NancyStamps]

Making glitter paste.

[@josspoulsen4550]

hi Nancy, I have just watched your videos and I was wondering where you got your. Carrier sheet from. It looks like a laminator sheet but doesn't stick together.

[@NancyStamps]

They sell them at AC Moore with the Heidi Swapp foils. You can buy the bigger ones and cut them down. Also check Tuesday morning if you have one around. Usually in a 2 pack.

[@stamps4fungin]

I have some foil left from a class years ago. I think we used some glue, but no heat (minc machine). what can I use now? I believe the glue I used was dried up or used up at some point.

[@NancyStamps]

You can use double sided tape with die cuts, or modge pod. Minc machine uses heat to activate the glue. You can also use a glue like Zig that dries tacky.

[@nancyludlum2646]

(watching in 2019) TFS....good to know!

[@dinaelsherbiny1727]

How long to leave the texture paste to dry before applying foil on it ?

[@NancyStamps]

let it dry completely

[@dinaelsherbiny1727]

Nancy Stamps appreciated 💐

[@bmadives53]

What foiling machine do u use?

[@glchild251]

What did you use for your carrying shield?

[@NancyStamps]

Hello Tara, It's a minc foiling folder. You can find them at AC Moore and cut them down to size.

[@IAMGiftbearer]

What brand of texture paste did you use?

[@NancyStamps]

I like Range Texture paste Transparent gloss the best.

[@carmenpazmartinezkramm8861]

Do I need to have the mint?

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

You can use a laminator machine.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Have you tried Odicoat for foiling on fabric

[@NancyStamps]

no, i've never heard of it

[@FoundandRedesigned]

Did it stay tacky with the mod podge? I found when I use adhesive for foil it is still tacky after putting the foil on...kind of like nail polish that is not quite dry and can get finger prints in it and paper sticks to it. Was yours tacky after putting the foil on and passing it through the minc?

[@NancyStamps]

No, it worked great! I also did it with ranger transparent gloss texture paste and worked great too. Just wait until they are completely dry before foiling.

[@monicaaprilia5321]

Can I use the iron heat to active the Mod Podge? (because I don't have any laminator). Please help me, thanks!

[@NancyStamps]

Monica, I wouldn't recommend an iron. I would say buy a cheap Scotch laminator from walmart.

[@krystinsawyer]

This video shows comparisons of foiling with household objects, like an iron. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2qpY3uOr5KgpaM
