Frugal Foiling! FOIL without a laminator & toner printer!

Frugal Foiling! FOIL without a laminator & toner printer!
Today I will show you how to use adhesive sheets and tape from our sponsor Craft Chameleon (formally Punch Place Plus) to create awesome foiled effects, you can get the adhesive sheets and rolls here: www.punchplaceplus.com/
Supplies: Adhesive sheets & Tape: www.punchplaceplus.com/categor... (rolls start at $2.50 and a 5 pack of sheets is only $5)
Cardstock
Foil and gold leaf (glitter, embossing powder, microbeads and flock can also be used!)
Die cut machine or xacto knife/scissors if you want to hand cut your designs.
Directions:
1. Cut a design from a sheet of adhesive.
2. Remove the backing and press on cardstock. Remove the other backing paper.
3. Press foil shiny side up on adhesive.
4. Remove the excess foal backing. If using metal leafing remove the excess and save it for another project.
Try this with glitter, beads, flock and more, it is such a fun technique!

Love the idea of a "frugal crafter" it's not possible to just keep throwing money at the hobby and such a relief to find someone who understands that thank you. Love the tips in the video will be using them!

[@shabnomnom]

i was in the middle of researching a moderately priced inkjet printer and foil transfer machine, feeling defeated that i'd have to spend so much money... and then here you are!!! this is awesome!!!

[@1LineAtATime]

Love, love, love, LOVE this! Thanks for your labour of love in frugality!

[@gaylelandry5087]

Absolutely wonderful! Been looking for a way to do this without having to use heat laminating. I love the way using the tape and sheets work. I have a very small crafting area to work in and I don't really want extra equipment that only does pretty much only one thing. I love your crafting ideas. So glad I found your videos. Thank you for sharing. ❤️👏🏻❤️

[@jeanieferretti4203]

I need to try that with my old foil and leafing also. Thanks for the wonderful video and beautiful card!

[@maggiedudley8756]

Thanks for the alternative to using a laminator. Love the adore!

[@vikibanaszak4881]

That is awesome! I have some old foils too. I just never used them much so yay for stuff comming back in fashion.

[@terripennington9934]

Thank you for this! I was considering a Minc, but since I don't have a laser printer I was hesitant because it is limited to their designs unless you use a toner-based printer. You saved me a boatload of money!

[@thomgirl71]

I want to come live in your craft room for a few weeks and just have you show me all your tools!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge in a fun and frugal way!! I am always so happy when I search for a technique and find out you have a video on it. I know I will enjoy it.

[@yungzubass9648]

Thank you for sharing. I'm going try this method. Even I have minc. Thank you Lindsey. You are so smart and clever

[@christierella]

Great to know I can have fun with the foils without the heat! Very helpful information! Feel better soon! 👍🏼

I have just bought a pack of foils at the pound shop so it is great to see I can use them without having to put it through my laminator, so thank you so much for this informative and inspiring video, hugz, Anne xx

I think your way of doing this is great and less expensive. Thank you:-)

[@marileemck]

Thanks so much for this video. I recently discovered I can use foil without a machine and was delighted to find you have a video on the techniques. I know you will show me how-to in an easy to follow, frugal way. JoAnn had some foil on clearance and I am having such fun with this shiny new material to add to my projects. ~Marilee

[@margarethouse9128]

Thanks Lindsay, great tips.

[@deeptiharsha]

Lovely....gorgeous....loved it!!! thanks for the video

[@Susanna79.]

Fabulous video!! I was going to try the laminator version (still might) but you are right you do get more bang for your buck using this method. Love it!!

[@Speedy9765]

Oh woooooow... I will invest in some adhesive sheets. I wanted to make cards with foil THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@milliecolon8532]

Looove the video thank you for sharing I do not have any fancy machines to foil this video is exactly what I needed it Thank you :)

[@ashleyhaskins6673]

Nice job Lindsay

[@maureencharlessparrow8230]

never thought about using the spare sticky to stick on card bases and other things, will be saving it in future. I bought the big sticky sheets for use with foil and I love them.

[@JeanninesCraftroom]

Great projects Lindsay!! Thanks for sharing!

[@misssarahswan]

Thank you so much! This is absolutely fantastic!

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I recently found a jar of variegated flakes I've had for 15yrs and planned to play with it. Glad to know it doesn't spoil. Also glad to know the Mink rolls can be used without the Mink or laminator cuze I refuse to buy more equipment. But did notice JoAnns still has jars of flakes for sell & can use coupons there for extra savings. Yippee!! Thanks for the daily lesson! Hope you feel better soon. And no your voice was not irritating.

[@reigna963]

You have all of the prequels to the latest gizmos in your brain! Frugal crafter on fire! THANK YOU!

loved this thank you

[@lymez79]

Thanks for such a great vid! I don't have a minc/etc or toner printer so I've never done much with foil. But I have a bunch I got on clearance ;). Also like the idea of using the tape bits to adhere the card base.

[@Kmore919]

Great advice!

[@lbchristensen8732]

grat idea thanks for sharing

[@sharonfrench1087]

Great video, I love the foiling effect but don't have a lam. machine so this is a perfect answer for me. Thank you so much. 1 have to find your videos for my daily dose of Lindsay Logic.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Sharon French thanks Sharon

[@martiejohnson4387]

Awesome ideas !!!! I can hardly wait to use these ideas on my cards. Thank You Lindsay !!! Happy Cinco de Mayo !!!

[@susanyee1]

Wow...seems like a great, multi-use tape!!!

[@mummywrightify]

Great idea to use the scraps of tape, I never would have thought of that, It would have gone into the bin! Frugal all the way!! :D xx

[@bonnie4526]

pretty card

[@SamanthaStevensSamTam]

I just bought foil and didn't know how to use it haha thanks for sharing!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Since you are the frugal crafter, I thought you would like this idea. I saw on a KZbin video that some people were making toner paint so they wouldn’t have to use their printer. I made toner paint with one tablespoon of PPA glue and 5 little scoops of toner on the end of a popsicle stick. I stirred it really well and painted it on a sheet of cardstock. I cut out shapes for foiling. I found out you can use that toner paint for stamping and foiling!! It works perfectly. It also washes right off the stamps and doesn’t stain them. Make a video about that! You will love it!

[@tc247]

I didn't want to buy one of those new machines and this is a perfect way to do this technique. I have the Cricut, the tape and even the sheets, so I am going to make some cute bd cards for some of my great nieces and nephews. Again thank you!

[@ForeverMyPraise]

Did you try this on your cricut? If so, what setting did you use and where did you get the ashes of sheets?

[@tc247]

Riki, no I haven't tried this yet on my Cricut. If I were you I would call Cricut and ask their support team. They have answered all kinds of my crazy questions over the past...lol I am sorry I couldn't help you as I have had so much going on lately, I have had to put my projects on hold for a bit. Good luck and let me know if they helped you..Cricut also has a site on fb and you could ask one of the ladies on there if they could help you..I am not sure what you meant by "ashes on my sheets" anyway, good luck!

[@gangster._.slimes9233]

Great video love you so much

[@michelegourd5742]

Thanks for another great video. :)

[@univastrife9196]

So glad I found this. I wonder if I can use this trick on a candle.

[@BadShadow13]

gosh I like that Ideaa!

[@LilCraftyNook]

I have a laser printer (I make flyers for advertising square dances) but didn’t want to have to get the laminator. This is awesome!!❤️🎄

[@corinnecowper1339]

Thank you, Lindsay. I've wondering what to do with the metal leaf I've had in my stash for about a hundred years - now I know.

[@triciasutton7322]

Lindsay, I just went to Craft Chameleon to buy some sheets and I just want to double check with you. It's the 10"x12" sheets in quantity of 5. The adhesive that I can glue to cardstock and still have the adhesive I can put foil or micro beads. Thanks ahead of time for your help and this video.

[@luvurobert]

Oh, that looks like fun! I've never "foiled" before. That's what I love about your tutorials... I'm always learning something new to try. Thanks for all the awesome videos, Lindsay! And hope your throat feels better real soon. =)

[@ItsMeAnitaDee]

thank you! I was researching laser printers so I could do foiling but now I won't need one!

[@SuzieBender]

Oh my!! Lol!! I have a roll of the foil you used on the adore card!! I bought it awhile ago!! I thought it was thin metal sheet rolled up! LOL!! WELL THATS COOL I HAVE SOME!! LOL!!

[@undine117]

Haha! That's completely amazing! :////) So pretty results! :)

[@MelaniesShabbyChic]

Great ideas Lindsay!!! I'm kicking myself right now......years and years ago I used to use a similar foiling product for clothing. I had a huge box left over after those days were done (and before I got into papercrafting 11 yrs ago) I think they went to a donation place. jeez, who knew it would 'come back' on paper?! heeheehee ;) I probably donated them about 15 years ago :0

[@JustaGTO]

So loved these projects!! I have Stacey Tape from Scrapbooking Made Simple. You really put some new ideas out for me!! Love your 'waste not' attitude, like mine!! Cheers to the new year. Thanks for your emails & blog, too~Marsha

[@thefrugalcrafter]

that should work!

[@hermionejarvis648]

Thanks for this how-to video! I really wanted to try/do this but I didn't want to buy a laminator as they are so expensive. This great idea will allow me to give it a whirl without losing to much money, especially if I don't like it afterwords. Always love your videos, thanks a lot Lindsay!

[@prettypaperthings]

I've seen laminators for as low as 20$ but I love the idea of using the foil without one as well. good way to start while I buy a laminator but still plan on getting it . the laminator is good for printing your own designs if you wanted some designs from online.

Thank you Lindsay, I bought the Go foil machine, and have never used it.I have been looking for some way to foil without using any machine.

[@michellehu2524]

amazing video! :)

[@katewilliams8125]

Wow another wonderful idea! Not keen on buying the foiling matching here ($200 AUD just silly) but I got some cheap foil on blitsy. Can't wait to try this!

[@BraveblueRaven]

Fabulous tutorial Lindsay, thanks for all those great tips!! Cheers, Ginny :o)

[@idajeanette1893]

Cool

[@janinewoodhull3611]

Thank you for this tip! I love the look, but didn't want to invest in a laminator, nor do I have room for one.

[@dianewilliams7866]

Now I know what I've been doing wrong ThankYou Lindsay

[@sandragillanders2425]

Wonder if that would would on glass stones to make pendants instead of using nail polish. Looks so pretty.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Great tips. Now I know I don't have to purchase a machine to do this. Thanks so much!

[@rebeccamiller3248]

I like this but I was wondering if you could use a craft iron ? Because I have a tape that is heat activated and was wondering if it might work better?

[@rosemaryyoboby2994]

Very helpful!!! I am so glad I don’t have to run out and buy a laser printer or mind machine

[@rosemaryyoboby2994]

*minc machine

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for a great video, with those foils, I love your card, Have you every thought every doing a video with your electric cutting machine? I have a Portrait machine had it for about 4 months and love it, of cause still learning but a lot of fun, Cheers Anna.

[@valfrye2629]

Would an inking brayer help apply the film firmly? I love all of the ideas you shared; thank yoy!

[@bejayroles5820]

Hi Lindsay, how cool! A lot better than having to get something printer by laser printer and then laminating. I think even I can manage this method with no problems :). Now I can look for reasonably priced foil and even look for faux gold/silver leaf. Thanks so much for showing us how to do this.I've got a frugal question for you...over the Christmas holidays I used a lot of tea lights so now have loads of the little metallic holders the wax is poured into. Any ideas if they can be used in a crafty way??Bejay x

[@HairDiaryBlog]

What a great idea! Would this technique work on glass?

[@bornX2dieX1]

Hubbs laughed at me, we went to buy ink for an HP printer, and found that it was only slightly more to by a wireless laser printer and the toner replacements are the same price as the ink jet ink. I was excited to tell him that i can foil now the pages printed on the laser toner. But i will be trying this too!

[@karenthompson895]

Hey Lindsay, I've been going nuts trying to find the exact same watercolor mop brush (white bristles) that you used in this video. PLEASE, PLEASE share the make, model number and/or size of this brush and, if you recall, where you got it. A million, gazillion thanks!! As always, LOVE the tips! 💖😉
