Heidi Swapp Minc Machine - Foiling A Stamped Image

[@justasoldiergirl]

The thing that had stopped me from buying the Minc, was I would have had to get a laser printer too for how I wanted to do my work. I cannot express how pleased I am that you came up with this method! The Minc is now on my list of things to buy! Thanks so much for your creativity and your sharing! LOVE your work!

[@TaheerahA]

+Priscilla Andrews Thank you so much!

[@cglass32]

Thanks so much for sharing! I used Michael's Brand, Recollections, clear embossing powder, set my Minc on 3 and it worked beautifully! No messy toner powder, so cool!

[@pdelmercado]

Donna Phelan Do you have heat set the clear embossing powder first?

[@petmomful2260]

@@pdelmercado I think you do. Then you wait 30 minutes for it to harden thoroughly. I am experimenting with this and found that it worked with setting 2. Have you tried it?

[@Bee-2bee]

I had a bottle of toner at hand and knew it could be used for foiling but didn't know how. Thanks for sharing! God bless you!

[@TaheerahA]

+Beena Roy You're welcome! So glad you liked learning this technique! :)

[@CarefreeSue]

I am absolutely blown away! Thank you SO very much for sharing this technique.

[@TaheerahA]

+CarefreeSue You're welcome, and thank you! :)

[@faizakhan9253]

How amazing is that! love how you've used different shades to give depth to the rose.

[@jodster4293]

wonderful idea which I tried today after I sourced the toner powder. As I couldn't buy a bottle in my small country town I asked my go to printing place if they had any used toner cartridges (they send the empty ones off for recycling), They gave me 3 so I came home and emptied the remaining powder in a bottle and let me tell you there was more than enough powder left in them for this project. Best of all I got them for free :)

[@TaheerahA]

+Jodster 42 Free is awesome! Hope the technique worked well for you!

[@tracyearly6341]

That is a clever and much needed idea. I ordered the minc but haven't received it yet. I felt a bit stifled with the possibilities as I would have to purchase a laser printer or go print.. This opens up so much more!! Thank you!!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Tracy Early Thank you so much for your kind words! They really mean a lot!

[@letellier1990]

OMG..... Why didn't I think of that? Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I was a close to my heart consultant and have thousands upon thousands of stamps. I can't wait to try this technique! Thanks again

[@TaheerahA]

letellier1990 you're so welcome! hope you have fun with the technique! :)

[@suetownsend1932]

You sound so excited about your discovery! How can we not be thrilled as well! Thank you so much for sharing. I don't have a laser printer, so this would be a good technique for me to add!!

[@Rebecca-wf5mu]

I am new at foiling and am thrilled with this tut! Thank you so very much

[@scrapcosy]

Thanks for sharing. It's the best technique I've seen so far. I'm definitely going to try it!

[@TaheerahA]

Thank you so much @scrapcosy! That really means a lot to me!

[@tammy5590]

That turned out super gorgeous. I love it. Thank you for taking time to share.

[@allthingsmagical-myedition]

Thank you! I love stamping too, and have been trying to figure out how I could foil them without using tacky glue on my stamps.

[@JimmyLani]

There is a sticky embossing powder special for foil and other items to used it with and gives the same result and it same steps, Its awesome you figure cheap solution and a very use of personal stamps!

[@lisageorgiou3402]

wow you r a genius I bought the minc and have been trying allways to foil a stamp but failed I didn't know toner powder exsisted thanks for sharing x

[@TaheerahA]

Sue Townsend thank you so much for your kind words! :)

[@petmomful2260]

Soooo pretty! Heidi Swapp has now come out with an ink for stamping and foiling. I have not tried it yet, tho. I just got my Minc.

[@juicyfruits61]

Thank you for sharing your winning ideas!

[@dawnbecker8643]

Just beautiful. I have this set am going to try it!!TFS

[@jintyoo7]

Very clever, Taheerah - brilliant video with lots of marvelous tips :-) Another way is to stamp your image with a black ink and make a photocopy using a zerox, then foil - it works well too :-)

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Yep definitely jintyoo7 but this way you can skip that step! :)

[@jintyoo7]

Taheerah LittleMissT Hello Taheeral - my Minc finally arrived (11 days ago) but I am only just getting it out of the box. I will definitely be trying this technique though - it does give a lot more versatile - THANK YOU for doing the experiment and fine tuning the technique1

[@samanthamann1523]

fabulous idea! so clever!!! you're super ingenious and this technique is AMAZING! bravo!! :D

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Samantha Mann Mwah! Thank you for your kind words girl!

[@caseyslove]

Great idea. What a clever method. You can also use clear embossing powder over the stamped image using embossing ink and heat set it with with your heat gun. Then you can foil in the Minc machine. The heat of the Minc melts the embossing which sticks to the foil. However your method may produce a better detailed foiled image. The method I mentioned does not produce a clear image using very detailed stamps as the embossed area spreads a little when it is foiled and heated thus making a less crisp image.

[@karend9720]

Great idea, thank you for sharing it!

[@janecrisci2658]

Brilliant!!! Thank you for the video.

[@adri4nails]

you are sheer genius! i tried this today and it totally worked! one problem, even though i used an embossing buddy, my white card stock still looked dingy from the black toner. How do you keep it from staining your paper? btw on black card stock, it was absolutely perfect!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Hi Adri! Thanks for your sweet comments! For me I found that the smoothness of the cardstock makes a big difference. Using a very smooth cardstock helped minimise the stray toner powder for me. Also, try using a much smaller scoop of powder and pat in lightly at first - that should help reduce the dispersal of the powder a bit too. Please let me know if these tips help you! :) The idea to use black cardstock though is also a great one!

[@AshleyWorld057]

wow mind blown. i had tried stamped images and all were fails. now glue pens worked. and that was fun because i was able to write in my own handwriting cute or name or something and just rub on the foil color of my choice. of course i had to let the glue dry a little so it was tacky. but this is just wow.

[@TaheerahA]

Thanks so much! I hope you have fun with it and that it works for you too! :)

[@jacquelineserrano349]

What is the powder called that you used on the paper before you stamped with the Versa? I love this!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Thanks Jacqueline! It's a powder tool by EK Success - you can find it here: bit.ly/19YrnnJ You can also use baby powder or a tumble dryer sheet to the same effect, or an embossing buddy. Hope this helps! :)

[@Hopinforpeaceonearth]

What a great idea!!!!! Thanks so much. Now I don't have to buy a toner printer

[@callimedved9189]

thx...I did find it from Amazon too. did you know tt amazon was started in the city I live in...seattle/bellevue!!

[@paulage1art]

Thanks for making this video! Ordered my toner powder - can't wait for it to come in the mail. Thanks for discovering this technique! Can you make "paint" or "ink" out of toner and something with a binder - like gum arabic and can re-wet like a watercolor and then Minc it! Did I just invent a new technique, or has someone already done it? You could probably paint with embossing pad reinker or glycerine (which is what you use to reink and embossing pad) or mix any polymer glue with toner powder to paint with. Wonder if it would come off of rubber stamps and / or acrylic stamps?

[@naticristellavi8236]

I was thinking the same. I don't have the machine, but can somebody with the machine try a let us know, please? Thanks

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

paulage1art I actually have thought about that already but just not had a chance to experiment with it yet! Actually thought about it before doing this video but I figure this is the simplest way. But, I do still intend to try this out and report on the results! Watch this space!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

paulage1art That's actually one of the reasons I hadn't experimented yet - I was worried in case it might affect my precious stamps! But I might have a cheap stamp somewhere I could try it with! I'll let you guys know once I've had a play! :)

[@luzgarcia52]

ty so much for sharing.i's absolutly lovely.

[@TaheerahA]

Thank you so much!

[@stephanieespinosa946]

You are so Smart!!! have you tired using the foil they sell at Michael's? Or does it have to be the Heidi Swapp foil?

[@samanthamann1523]

Stephanie Cardona Hi! Taheerah's having problems commenting on KZbin but she asked me to post a reply to you! She thinks this technique should work with cheaper, toner-reactive foils, but she doesn't have a Michael's in the UK to try it out! Thanks so much for your comment!

[@johndepaolo6919]

Stephanie Cardona

[@anne-mariegaglio1461]

That’s a great trick. However, when I put my toner, my paper stayed dark grey around the image after brushing. Did any one had the same experience? Any idea why? Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you.

[@callimedved9189]

Where did you buy your toner in that small .container. I'm in the US and I can't find it

[@TaheerahA]

+Calli Medved Hi Calli! I'm in the UK so got mine from amazon.co.uk - but I just looked on the US Amazon and they have plenty of options! www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=toner+powder Hope that helps!

[@paulage1art]

This is great! What is the brand of toner powder you are using? Someone else wrote below that their's didn't work, so I would like to use the exact same stuff you used. Thanks!

[@WendyJPeterson]

Have you tried just embossing with Clear embossing powder? I watched a video yesterday for the Minc that did that and ran it through the machine at setting of 1. I got the machine on order so will try it after that. But this is great so if that doesn't work i'll definately try this.

[@TaheerahA]

+wendalynh I did try that but it really didn't work for me I'm afraid. Hoping you have fun with your new machine! :)

[@CraftyEllenH]

You should show Heidi Swapp your video, I think she will love it!!!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Crafty EllenH. thank you! I shared it to her FB Page after I made the video but it wasn't shared out, maybe she didn't see it? Maybe I should send a link directly! ;)

[@CraftyEllenH]

YES I should do that!! You deserve a big YAY!! :)

[@AlexandraMcLain]

Do you find that the process works better on coated vs. uncoated paper? I would prefer to try this on uncoated paper, but am wondering if it makes a difference.

[@TaheerahA]

+Alex McLain Hi Alex! I used uncoated cardstock in my video. Coated cardstock or paper would probably work better for sweeping the excess particles away, but it does also work with uncoated as well. Hope that helps! :)

[@candacekieper4354]

have you tried reactive ink? I would not breathe the powder in as a nurse have seen to much stuff in lungs cause major problems....

[@LisaLisa-fx1qb]

You could do the same thing with Wow bonding powder saw it on Jennifer McGuire video yesterday and it would be safe. she also showed a pen you could use that was oil based by pilot to use on stamps.

[@TaheerahA]

+Lisa Gross Hi Lisa! Thanks for the suggestions. :) I tried embossing powder but it didn't work at all for me. Bonding powder doesn't usually work with fine detail but might be worth looking at. Do you have a link to the pen please? Overall if you take precautions then toner is safe enough, I did a lot of research on it before trying the technique. Always good to have a variety of techniques for projects though! :)

[@mariannepetralia478]

Where do you purchase your toner and do you have to purchase a large quantity or can you buy just one bottle?

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Marianne Petralia I got mine from Amazon here: www.amazon.co.uk/Powder-Brother-TN-2010-TN-2210-TN-2220/dp/B00967648K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421668654&sr=8-1&keywords=toner+powder - the bottle has enough powder to go a really long way and you only need the tiniest amount so I'd just go with that for now! Thanks!

[@notimetowork]

Fantastic idea! Where do you get your toner?

[@samanthamann1523]

notimetowork Hi! Taheerah's having problems commenting on KZbin but she asked me to post a reply to you! You can buy toner powder quite cheaply on Amazon. Hope that helps, and thanks! :)

[@monaevans1500]

Can you use embossing powder instead of toner powder? If that was indicated, or not indicated, I missed it.

[@TaheerahA]

+Mona Evans I've seen some people use embossing powder which they've heat set and then foiled with. I personally had zero success with that method but you can always try!

[@surrereys]

can you please give me the name , of the toner. i like to buy the same you used, make me very comfortable , the idea of buy the same. please and thank you

[@HollyMiller1958]

Fantastic!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Holly Miller Thank you! :)

[@pamparker68]

Have you tried plain old fine detail embossing powder instead of toner. Jennifer McGuire has just recently posted a video on using that to foil a stamped image with her laminator and it worked well. Maybe something to experiment with.

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

I saw that Pam Parker and might give it a try. Toner has been working really well for me so far though and given I have a bottle of it I might as well use it and save my embossing powder for embossing! ;) I might try it though just to compare the results. :)

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

Pam Parker Just wanted to reply and let you know I have now tried this technique and it didn't give me good results sadly. I used very fine embossing powder but the heat and the pressure going through the machine flattened and widened my lines so I got a splodgy result. :( I'm happy with my technique and will be sticking with it! :)

[@pamparker68]

That's a pity, the Minc obviously has more heat and the rollers more pressure than the laminator. Oh well least you know now and thanks for replying x

[@rosanneperla]

Can you use embossing powder instead? I don't really want to use toner powder.

Oops, just found my answer below, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shereentimmerman4164]

Anyone found this toner in the us? I wonder if a liquid could be added to add it to a blank rubber stamp.

[@TaheerahA]

+Shereen Timmerman You can get it from Amazon US. As for adding a liquid, you need to be careful you don't add something with the wrong formulation in case you cause a reaction. Water and toner will separate, water and alcohol kinda works but basically you don't end up with an ink. I saw someone mix toner with glue and end up with a paint they could stamp with, but you won't get any detail. BUT, hold tight as I know Heidi Swapp are developing an inkpad! It's not easy but they are working on it!

[@shereentimmerman4164]

Here's what she's said: I'm so sorry to hear the technique didn't work for you! I'd love to be able to work through it with you, please drop me an e-mail at taheerah(underscore)atchia(at)hotmail(dot)com and I will do my best to help - thank you!

[@taheerahlittlemisst2791]

***** Hey Caroline. So sorry it didn't work for you! :( I have your e-mail in my Inbox, will be replying to you this weekend hopefully! But Versamark is definitely the best and stickiest watermark ink out there and I'd definitely recommend trying it!

[@jenniffervelasquez4543]

***** Hello! My problem was that the toner powder did not adhere to the cardstock I think because the foil did not adhere. I got three differents Embossing ink and the two that work are TOP BOSS and VERSAMARK. The "Emboss it" by RANGER did not work for me. Now my problem is that I cant get to clean the borders of my stamped image!! eventhough I´m using a embossing powder prep by Inkadinkado. If I clean it with a paper towel it ruins my stamp! =( Any advise? maybe a different toner powdered? (SORRY ABOUT MY ENGLISH) =|
