Foiling with the Fuse- Laminator Foiling Tips & Tricks

[@gaylesanders936]

I’m so excited to finally get my machine! Thank you so much for allowing a second run so those of us who didn’t get it when it first came out. I love that you care so much for us viewers.

[@pamelamoniz608]

Ditto! I hit my KZbin late tonight and as soon as I saw it was back in stock I ordered it! I’m so excited! Thanks, Gina!

[@RedArrowTinker]

@@pamelamoniz608 LOL! That's what I did too!

[@RosyJalifi]

Me too

[@Sharie609]

Mine arrived today on my Birthday & hubby didn’t even have to wrap it! Took it from the mail person & handed it to me in the driveway. I’m so excited! Watching the video and then plugging it in. 😊

[@deborahbuchanan2995]

It’s November 10 2024. I got my fuse out of the box and started foiling step by step with this video. Thanks so much… I was so intimidated.

[@vinematzke8422]

Watching a rerun of this video and the time was not wasted. I learned sooo much about foiling and the different foiling options. Thank you so much, Gina for taking your time to make this video! You are appreciated!

[@lgries6752]

I can't wait for my machine. I love purple. I have an cheap laminator and it works but the purple made me really want the machine. 💜

[@antoinettefleser7198]

I love the look of foiling and would like to get the machine but at 85 years old I can’t justify getting into a new phase of card making. But I love watching your shows and I love the beauty of your cards ♥️

[@dizzinese]

I talked to your very kind customer service rep who I just adored! Janelle? Something like that. I asked her to be sure to really thank you for making this machine so cost effective!!! We have to buy so many foils and toner panels and so on, so it was fantastic! I know the average person thinks most ppl making cards are using their extra money or are retired and are not alone and it’s just a thing they spend their extra money on. But for me and many others, I was disabled very young. I don’t have extra money and neither do many retired single ppl. For some of us we have to give up food to buy craft supplies-no joke. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for making the price point on this very fair!!!! You easily could have charged what the mini minc is which is just so expensive. Thank you thank you thank you! It’s so hard to keep up when you love giving cards. I can’t thank you enough!

[@denicehernandez8583]

I love love your live shows and foil mates n foiling

[@lindapence838]

I missed the first part of the show. Thankful for the reruns!

[@keeptheinsanity]

Best Valentine gift ever! Was going to buy for my bday last October, by the time I saw it in my email you were sold out!!!! It's been a wait, but I am so excited it's on the way!!!!

[@joannecollis1543]

Thank you so much from Australia Gina, l am very excited that your Fuse Foiling machine is coming to Oz. My name is down for pre order and l'm ready to receive mine. I have so many foil mates waiting to be done. ❤ Can't wait. Your cards are always beautiful. I hope you had a wonderful birthday🎉🎉❤❤

[@dizzinese]

I also wanted to thank you for making a wedding and anniversary set with Thermoweb!!!! Out of all the toner foils and panels NOT ONE person but you thought to do a wedding/anniversary toner sentiments! I thought that was crazy? Because if you ever wanted to foil anything it’s for a golden or silver anniversary, or a wedding! Especially ppl that make their own invitations! In fact, I would recommend you build up that theme so ppl can make their own wedding invitations or reception cards! I was stunned that there wasn’t others doing that theme! So thank goodness you thought of it! My sons getting married so I was thrilled to find your wedding set!!

[@pauletteberkshire4226]

Wow Gina!!!!!!!!! I am finally going to get my own Fuse. I am very excited because I have never foiled before and decided I wouldn't start until I get my machine. Thank you for reordering and letting us have a chance to get the same deal as the first batch. Love you and Tom. You're the best.

[@dizzinese]

This card is just fabulous! I’m so used to having so many layers of texture and paint, inks, pastes, that just foil looks so plain to me. This is great because you have great direct objects!!!! Very well done! I love it! You’re so brilliantly talented!

[@janiceshields1639]

I finally got my Fuse Laminator, and now I am ready to use it. Thanks for all the tips and tricks Gina. I loved the card design you made.

[@lynnereeder7117]

Thanks for doing this video! It’s great for a refresher course. It makes more sense to me now on how to use the different sheets!😊

[@maryannewillequer3305]

You are a spectacular teacher! Thank you for your clear instructions and descriptions.

[@nextdoorneighbor1669]

Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to call mine the dream machine because I was up really late & thought I’d check email. I had to wake my husband up to help me remember my password & with task completed I told him to go back to sleep, it was just a dream.

[@dianemendoza3010]

I am SOOOOO excited. Today 2/13 is my birthday and what a great gift for me. Can't wait.

[@janetdavidson166]

This was a good refresher for using a foil machine and foiling techniques. Thank you Gina. I am so glad I ordered the Fuse. I couldn't remember if I went on the notify list or not.

[@sydwuth1408]

Yay, I can hardly wait to get my order! Thank you Gina, Tom and staff for all you do!

[@CravNCraftN]

I have many Birthday cards to send out in Feb so I'm loving the Lovely Lavander & Amazing Amethyst foils along with my Wild Wisteria heavy weight card stock! I need to get some Lovely Lavander heavy weight card stock also. 😊

[@dizzinese]

I finally got my fuse! Much to my surprise I had a lot of trouble at first and I’ve foiled before with my laminator. I’m not sure if I’ve figured it out or not, but out of 10 panels I tried, I got 4 in the end. I first had it too cool because the manual said for thick cardstock use 3 but those toner and polyglaze panels are NOT thick. So I used setting 2. Then on 3 I had crazy overfoiling! The whole toner panels were covered and ruined. So I’m glad to hear you recommend the settings. Thank you. I ended up foiling on 3 in the end and got 4, 2 panels with toner print and polyglaze and 2 with toner paper.

[@barbaramckenney5946]

Yippee…..I got my notification this morning…..it’s ordered and will be on its way soon……I love the Color’s. My birthstone is purple too……can hardly wait to play

[@conniematteo3463]

Very helpful tips!

[@brooksdogdays]

❤❤❤ Can't wait to get my Fuse! I'll be able to spot it in my craft room easily because of the beautiful color.

[@simonthewelshman]

Can you please tell me where i can get that ink holder for the ink pad and lid? What is it called? Is there a direct link to purchase one? Thank you. :) @ video position: 35:07 (35 mins - 7 seconds).

[@cathycosier7870]

Thanks for the review of the foils! It was so helpful!!!♥️

[@rebeccah1635]

Yippee Skippee! So happy it’s back in stock! I got my order placed! I’ve been wondering how Nate’s show went! I really, really him! I’m so happy your daughters got u tickets. I hope it was oodles of fun and laughs!

[@leewaghorn5148]

Wanting to try foiling and can’t wait for the international ones to become available. Thank you team for the awesome videos.

[@jennifermills8412]

My fuze came 2 days early. Can’t wait to play.

[@lindaariengeutte7383]

Love the card Gina, my birthday is the day after yours.

[@DeanieW.-uk4jd]

I saw this video, heard the fuse was back in stock (notification came after I’d checked my email), paused the video and ran for the computer to place my order. So excited! Thanks again for the second chance to order. I can’t wait to play! I already have some Polyglaze sheets that I ordered awhile back. A belated happy birthday and merry Christmas to me!!! 💕

[@LindaCrowder10021950]

And you hit right on payday! Great ideas. Great machine. Tom’s even great!! Thanks

[@pattieddlemon6067]

I purchased my Fuse the very minute you sent the email. I didn't want to miss out this time. By the way, my birthday is in February also, Gina!

[@pattieddlemon6067]

It has arrived!! Can't wait to use it!

[@1LetterLove]

Very nice stamp and chat show! Beautiful birthday card.

[@juliez1539]

That was a very great description and explanation on how to foil! Thank you so much. I’ve already ordered my Fuse and poly glaze sheets to use with it.

[@momoclangford4673]

I ordered my fuse today! Happy Valentine's day to me! 💜

[@kimwagner1345]

Such a beautiful card! Thanks for all of your tips.

[@momoclangford4673]

Card is so cute! I'll be making it. Thank you for your direction. Can't wait to use my Fuse. 😊

[@surfinjan]

Can't wait until my order arrives! Thank you so much. I've watched all the videos on the Fuse so, hopefully, I can avoid beginner pitfalls.

[@susandillion9614]

so excited they are back in stock. My order is in. Thank you.

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Got my machine ordered. Thank you Gina!

[@lyndasterling9716]

I just ordered my fuse from Gina K so happy! Thank you for all the infor I am taking notes. Thank you Gina!

[@deborahmassey8687]

Amethyst is my birthstone and I just missed getting this version - shoot! 😢 Hopefully it will come back around but if not, I’ll just have to wait for the next one that becomes available 😊

[@deborahmassey8687]

I forgot to say thank you for ALL the great tips! I’ll be ready next time😊

[@susandillion9614]

thanks for doing a retake/reminder.

[@lindaveal1204]

Beautiful card my birthday is this month too!❤🎉😊

[@bettygorman4545]

[@jeanetteelliott9527]

Beautiful cards. Love it!

[@kathypatterson4630]

Got my email about the Fuse and ordered it right away!

[@whichwitchhazel]

Wonderful card xx

[@JodiSwirczek]

Whew!! I got one thru Thermoweb!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️. Thank you, Gina!!

[@jonnalantz5345]

Colorado here

[@janetapp126]

Beauriful

[@cynthialong7008]

Hi I love all your videos. I don’t get a chance to watch them life because of work. But I go back and replay them over and over again. I have a brand new laminating machine, what can I use as carrier for foiling?

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

The carrier sheets comes with the machine. We sell the carrier sheets a la cart as well. And you can also use Thermoweb carrier sheets. :)

[@cynthialong7008]

Thank you I’ll check your website for it

[@dizzinese]

I wanted to ask if you had even thought to make carrier sheets that are big enough to do mini slim cards and slimline cards? I wanted to foil a slimline card toner panel and I couldn’t. The opening is big enough, but we need a carrier sheet for the other sizes.

[@Fireyvedel]

I’m gutted I missed out but hoping to get a fuse in the future ❤ Edit : yes I was on the waiting list but I live in the uk so I didn’t have a chance lol 😂 but looking forward to seeing everything every one makes ❤

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

UK ones come out in early March!

[@Fireyvedel]

@@GinaKDesigns-StampTV perfect for my birthday whoop whoop 🙌🏻 thank you for letting us know 🥰

[@dizzinese]

I noticed when feeding the carrier sheet into the fuse, several times I was bumping into something and had just a little bit of a time getting it to go into the right spot. Is that normal?

[@admientje]

Dan hoop ik dat jullie ook een keertje zwarte en gekleurde poly glaze sheets laat maken.

[@TraceyGouldsberry]

I have a question? Do these toner sheets or poly glaze sheets degrade with time. An example would be finding some in the bottom of a craft stash at an estate sale.

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I am not 100% sure. Humidity can certainly affect them.

[@sharirogers7206]

Can this work with Cricut foil?

[@hollykraft2202]

what Swiffer do you use?

[@lindaball403]

I can't comment on my own, so I will use your question. I have seen her use like a cloth swiffer thing. Gina, thank you so much for that way of storing and cutting your foil! I also love the amethyst colors. The foil, that way you don't have to fuss and get it all out cut one piece at a time. Love, it love you too! ❤❤❤

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

I use the cloths.

[@sherry8882]

I am afraid I missed it, again. I lost my job on Friday and was not keeping track of my emails. Any thoughts on how many months it will take to get it back in? I am so disappointed

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Sherry, check a couple of stores- A Cherry on Top and Scrapbook dot com. ACOT has them now. SBC will have them very soon!

[@kmaxwell8783]

I cant get my order to go through!!! Says problem with card!!! HELP!!!!

[@denisedenton148]

Why can’t you use any foils … thanks

[@GinaKDesigns-StampTV]

Some foils are meant to be used with a laminator. They need a hot press type of foiling machine.

[@sonyabunkum6212]

It’s gone already. Argh!!

[@linneasommer-weddington6853]

They show in stock for me on 14Feb at 0800
