How to Make *flawless* Foiled Stickers // Sticker Guru

[@sierrarichter6797]

WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS SO MUCH HARDER THAN IT IS!? THANK YOU!! About to do my first set of foiling!

[@ravenrosewitches]

I can't wait to hear about your results!

[@mylifewithbabys947]

This video is so helpful and we can really see how much hard work it is to make stickers . Thanks for sharing . please do the foiled kit one aswell .

[@StickerGuru]

Thank you!

[@villemononen5303]

That was very nice, with good results and few pro tips. Very well done and results speak for themselves. Thank you!

[@StickerGuru]

Thank you for watching!

[@yesiamsharon]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I foil some for the fun of it but still purchase from shops. I have your monthly sub box too! After I started doing a bit of foiling, I was so appreciative of shops that offer foiled kits and stickers.

[@1991Psmith]

This video was definitely helpful. I hope you do one on your foiled kits as well.

[@StickerGuru]

Thanks! & it's in the works :)

[@JessiokaFroka]

Thank you SO much for putting this together! And yes I would *love* to see your foiling technique for your kits. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@TheStickerGarden]

Thank you so much for all the great tips and sharing how you foil your stickers! I found this video so helpful for making stickers for personal use. I would love to see how you foil your kits and any other “how to” videos!

[@StickerGuru]

yay!! Thank you for your comment :)

[@ivysun1734]

Im not a sticker maker but a sticker user. this was really informative on how they are made. Also damn those are cute!

[@StickerGuru]

So happy you found these informative!

[@HarryMcKenzieTV]

hmmmm im curious, why 30 minutes preheat? the greenlight turns on once 120 degrees is reached. on my laminator it takes around 5 minutes to reach that temperature. so i don't understand why you have to wait 30 minutes.

[@gigipaquette]

WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this video and your process. This is so helpful to make my own stickers. You are an Angel! Have a wonderful day!

[@StickerGuru]

You're welcome! We're so glad you found this helpful!

[@hayhay8915]

Can you do a video where the stickers have colours and you foil only the areas that you want

[@tweetypieplansandreads]

I must say, I purchased from you guys for the first time during Black Friday of 2021 and have since made two more purchases for your mega foil grab bags. You guys have quickly become my favourite foil shop. Your sticker sheet selection and quality of products are amazing. Thank you so much for making this video and guide. I also grabbed some mega ooops black bags from another shop and was thinking of trying to foil some of them on my own. Really appreciate it x

[@StickerGuru]

Thank you so much! That is so sweet!

[@AngieDly]

Thank you for sharing! I just purchased a laser printer, MINC and a cameo to make stickers for myself and my daughters. I would love to know how you foil/design your kits!

[@MrJBA79]

Your cutting machines look amazing. Can you foil 3D holographic stickers using the same methods?

[@RTCDigitalS]

Great video, have you tried printing over the foil?

[@arifsoeprijono8128]

# I Ask 1. Is the sticker media you are using specifically for laser printers made of vinyl stickers? 2. Are all monochromatic brands of laser printers able to print on sticker media materials specifically for lasers? 3. I saw the initial video, it looks like there are 8 cutting machines, did you mass produce those label stickers? 4. how much does it cost to produce 1 sheet of A3 size to print until it is finished and ready to be sold? 5. in your sales system based on orders / custom or indeed there is a design from you. 6. How is the sale piece or sheet, is it enough profit if it is used in a small business? ]thank you for answering and sharing

[@MichaelaBurks]

Hello. Are you using wooden rulers under your cutting machines as paper support? And have you fixed them to the units? Great idea, whatever you've done 😀 x

[@peachpiano]

Great, helpful video. Thank you

[@shinyrayasmr]

Love the final result❤️❤️❤️what printer do you use for the initial printing? laser or inkjet?

[@josiejq]

Is toner in the black ink used on a laser printer? Or is that something separate? Ans does it matter how long you foil after printing? Like can u foil a couple days after printing or does it need to be right away?

[@choublakcandle]

Thank you for this video. I really wanted to foil my candle labels. And this video is very helpful.

[@MagicallyResin]

Fantastic video, I found this very helpful. I am using a mink to foil with and I am having trouble with the foil sticking to the unprinted part of the sticker, as well as the toner part. Is this a heat issue?

[@StickerGuru]

I'm so glad this was helpful!! It's hard to say without troubleshooting, but it could be a heat issue!

[@nilzeteaguiar7163]

Diminui a temperatura.

[@muskan4eva]

Why is my foil being transferred on non printed areas?

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

Thank you so much for this info. Always wanted to know how to achieve this. Do you have a video on foiling just part of a design?

[@StickerGuru]

Hey Alfred! We do not, but we cover specifics in our foiling e-course, which also gives you a chance to access us during our Office Hours to ask us specific questions: stickerguru.teachable.com/

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

@@StickerGuru Thank you just looked into it! I'll definitely attend soon. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of niche I really wanna do.

[@StickerGuru]

@@Alfred_the_doodler there’s definitely a niche for everybody out there!

[@lekhasewingnpatterns4656]

Awww thank you so much.... Can't wait for future videos....

[@StickerGuru]

Thank you!

[@meikiarizona8715]

Hi, is it all laser printer able to print on transparant sticker like yours or there is a specific type?

[@maximjd3404]

Thanks Guru . Perfect name match

[@naynaynailsxo]

Hi lovely how do you prevent the foil from getting on other parts where the ink is not? I am using clear label stickers but it gets smudged on the clear parts

[@merycetasarmlar337]

😢They didn't answer

[@Bespokecrafting]

Hey, what is the clear sheet you put inside the machine. Like is it a protective cover. Does it have a name

[@StickerGuru]

[@marilynjohnson1915]

What kind of cutting machine do you have because I've liked that

[@StickerGuru]

We used a Silhouette portrait in this video

[@vulkr6143]

Can we use inkjet printer to stamp gold leaf instead of laser

[@NicoleTong-tt9jc]

Thank you for your sharing! It is helpful 😃

[@StickerGuru]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching Nicole!

[@AmyLeaPlans]

Can you use any laminator to foil? Or does it have to get to a certain temp/have to be an industrial laminator?

[@StickerGuru]

Any laminator will work, but if you want a consistently good foil then you might want to consider investing in an industrial laminator.

[@SuhasBandal-cv4pt]

Hi.. please tell me which laptop and printer you use and the cutting machine

[@RiotGirlMUA]

Omg please share your tips for foiling kits ya girl over here is struggling so much lol I have one foiled kit I offer now and it took me forever to do hahah

[@nash-a-one]

Hi can the foil sticker being printed on, say you want some black detailing on the foil?

[@seanptaco]

So how would I foil something that has multiple colors? Not clear like what you did. Like what if I wanted a multi color sticker design but certain spots foiled?

[@satva777]

Thanks for you video! I am wondering do you send tasks to all 8 Silhouettes from same computer?)

[@StickerGuru]

Hello, yes! We use a USB hub!

[@ms.c3977]

Beautiful ❤

[@aphrodisiaxe]

If I use my inkjet printer (since that is what I have and can currently afford) can I use that to still make foiled stickers? Or do I have to have a laser printer?

[@amyharris3489]

Wondering the same thing?

[@nekonette]

No, it has to be laser printer. Inkjets don't have toner for the foil to stick to.

[@lparanhos]

Thank you so much, it helped A LOT! Now I need to discover how to configurate my laser printer 🥲 hahaha thanks again!!

[@paoladearco9566]

Hello, beautiful, a question, when u cut first the stickers don’t get imperfections because of the dust of the paper? That happened to me

[@111lxx5]

What's the background song called in this vid? Love it

[@Chiabelss]

I have cricut machine can I use that too it has foiling settings too

[@StickerGuru]

We've never used a Cricut before, we are mostly familiar with Silhouettes, but I'm sure you can foil with them too!

[@gjpugal]

For the foil from binding101 would you recommend setting it on 120 still?

[@x1dl]

can you use clear vinyl as sticker paper? will it work with foiling w a laminator?

[@maryschlafly5717]

Great video, but what software did you used, from where did you get the illustrations to cut out. Thanks for any info x beginners.

[@StickerGuru]

Hi Mary, we are happy to share that we share all of that information and a comprehensive course on how to make foiled stickers in our new foiling e-course here: stickerguru.teachable.com/p/flawless-foiling

[@mariamyousif2580]

Thanks for this video, it helpful, but i have issues when with Result, so my words not covered all with foil, still i have like a black dots.😞😞😞😞 I tried many different way, but I don’t know what i do. Please please I would appreciate if you answer me . Thanks so much

[@abstermiester]

How would you make a dual tone foil sticker?

[@magichand-oz5lw]

i want to know if is it better to print in A4 or A5 for foil ?? my printer remain lot of toner on the paper why ?

[@Paperinparadise]

I am having a problem getting the cut lines to line up if I do color with my inkjet on parts and then want to foil. Maybe I just need to make a more simple header for my stickers and no color on the items.

[@craftymom7883]

What are some of the foil makers that you recommend?

[@StickerGuru]

I linked a foil company we've used in the past!

[@Winkie_Designs]

@crafty Mon hhsignsupply foils are great

[@shelbyobrien6952]

Is it possible to print over a section that you foiled. I have a logo that I want a icon to be foiled but the business name on top of it will just be standard black toner.

[@jennifert142]

Beautiful Stickers ☺️

[@resinhandmadecrafting1815]

till now the laminator still working ?? i iuse cameo 4 and i was thinking of buying foil quill but too expensive , what do u think ??

[@andreaadams1888]

Looks fab. I'd love a cracker printer like this... if possible could give me details of it please xo

[@latulipepapeterie4088]

Does it work with ink jet printer or only with lazer

[@sportiegurl101]

I am in the market for a laser printer and just curious if the one you posted in the links only prints black and white? I’m new to the whole laser printer concept and want to be able to use it for waterslide as well.

[@tastesandtravelsnounee]

What do you use to cut the stickers? Thank you

[@StickerGuru]

Silhouette portrait, it’s linked in the description!

[@TheLoveOfGodPodcast]

Thank you soo much!! I needed this so much

[@StickerGuru]

You’re welcome! We now have a whole ecourse out about making foiled stickers, if you’re interested in diving deeper! bigplansacademy.com/p/home

[@Justlawl]

What’s minc?

[@0oisao0]

Thanks a lot! I’ve done stickers like this in the past but the foil came off when I scratched them. Does this happen with this paper/foil?

[@sem0086]

can we use any software to print for foiling? Ex; photoshop, illustrater, word or cricut design

[@Jaime_plans]

What cutting machine do you recommend for personal use? Looking to buy on either the new year. For stickers and vinyls

[@satva777]

They use Silhuete portrets and its good for personal use as well as Silhuette Cameo

[@Warriorlover69]

Hi, what vinyl cutter did you use and did you have to print via vinyl cutter software as "print to cut" ? Everything else you showed were simple and crystal clear. Thanks.

[@StickerGuru]

We use a silhouette portrait machine to cut our stickers. It is connected to our computer through the Silhouette software program! We are able to design, print, and cut from the software.

[@anaemelo4045]

I have a question, the foil is toner reactive or standar hot stamping foil?

[@nekonette]

Toner reactive

[@shyensoy]

Do you recommend your Laser printer?is it colored?

[@StickerGuru]

Yes and yes!

[@CelestialHeather]

While I appreciate the time it took to put this video together the brand of foil you use is a MASSIVE element of how successful your foiling is. It’s a bit like making a video on how to make the best roast potatoes and then not sharing the type of potatoes you use. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@StickerGuru]

In our personal experience, we don't see a significant difference in foil quality based on the brand of foil. I have linked in the description a brand of foil we've personally used in the past. They sell a wide variety of foil colors in a smaller amount that is perfect for personal use. We don't disclose our current foil manufacturer because they only sell foil in bulk, and I wouldn't recommend that to anyone who doesn't need that much. x

[@STYLESBYLIFEBEAUTYNMORE]

It’s looks like binding 101 foil their foil more weighted like this

[@joshmat6178]

If you buy the foils in bulk from Alibaba they are $9 per roll instead of paying $28 for a roll from binding 101.

[@S3piocomputersCanada]

@@StickerGuru nice video but for me is good to buy in bulk is possible to recommended your store where you buy?

[@sandrabrown8733]

​@@StickerGuru

[@TheHsallaway]

what is the reason for using laser vs inkjet? I hope I didn't just miss that part ha!

[@Nathasja1]

Some foil react to toner, not ink. That means you need to buy toner-active foil. It's not always the best quality but look around at ebay and aliexpress and get some cheap sheets/rolls and play with till you find the best way.

[@julienelissen9482]

Is it mandatory to use a laser printer and not an inkjet? Maybe a silly question 🙋‍♀️

[@StickerGuru]

Yes, foiling will only work with a laser printer

[@SassieStephanie]

This was a fantastic video

[@jaedd_plans]

Did I see Neenah Paper?! That's made near me 😁

[@maryulicab]

Hello, how do you make Print and cut work for you in portraits? I have one and I have never been able to do it

[@StickerGuru]

It's hard to say without working with you 1:1, but through lots of practice and troubleshooting we were able to find a process that works for us!

[@marvincrisostomo4821]

what is the use of the hp printer? i think that is just laser printer how are u doble printing it? when u are done printing using canon and printing it again to tha hp lazer printer what is the reazon for just asking ok thak's

[@StickerGuru]

The laser printer is what we use for foiling. The foil adheres to the toner from the laser printer. I recommend checking out our foiling e-course to learn how to make foiled stickers! www.bigplansacademy.com/flawless-foiling/

[@arhalia]

Muy claro, gracias por la explicación, por favor podrías poner el nombre de las otras marcas de foil

[@StickerGuru]

Thanks for watching! I've linked a brand of foil we've used in the past :)

[@YourTreasureForever]

now this is a question I dont think has been asked but is very important to me.... where or what type of shelves do you use to save space like that? I have 12 cricuts and 8 scan n cuts and I NEED this space saving hack but am so concerned with the shelves moving while the machines are in use. Please help if you don't mind. I would really appreciate it so much. Thank you in advance. Aurora x

[@StickerGuru]

They are actually shoe racks!

[@lucyj2580]

Thank you!❤

[@StickerGuru]

You're welcome! :)

[@kqxx]

Does it matter which laser printer I used? The one you used is quite expensive 😕

[@gracewiesen7047]

where did you get your designs again? I couldn't understand what you were saying

[@i62637]

Can you please mention name of machine which we need other than printer and all material

[@StickerGuru]

It’s all linked in the description of the video :)

[@perkyspaperie5455]

Are you using the high density toner?

[@ozkan7364]

Hello, I'm trying the same way, but it's flawed. What is the reason?

[@ginkersehhyouuseeduuh2804]

do you know how to remove the silver foil and turn some of it see through?

[@analuciaaguirreesparza3576]

can it be possible with an injection printer?

[@yvonnetucker1416]

I Love this

[@StickerGuru]

Thanks Yvonne!

[@teelagway3284]

I have a question I am about to sign up for your class will this help me I am a cricut user?

[@StickerGuru]

Hi!! Our course covers all the steps of foiling (design, cut, print, foil). The printing and foiling part should be the same regardless of Silhouette or Cricut. The design and cut part will be different since the software and machine used will be different. So if all you are interested in is the actual foiling part, then this course still works for a Cricut user! I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions!

[@JasmineSJuman]

That was so simple and beautiful ❤❤❤thank u for sharing

[@nonever3713]

Would a heat press work?

[@cjgrafixdesign]

what do you call the cutter that you use to cut the foil

[@resinhandmadecrafting1815]

hi im back , i bought PLATUM LASER PRINTER , what do u think ??

[@mayurikulkarni5739]

Nice!!!! 😊😊👌👌🎊🎉

[@tanzimahmed3860]

Does it have to be black ink?

[@meurefugioeomeular]

Is this paper clear vinyl? don't they run the risk of melting in the lamination? ☺️ so cute!

[@Sooz-gh7fb]

Thank you so much. I'm so glad you didn't give away trade secrets for the brand of foil that you use, it's always best to protect your business as best as you can. I know only too well, how much time, research and expense goes into sourcing quality products to use in our own small business. I'm considering moving into foiling and I've been looking at buying an industrial foiling machine because I've heard that some 'designer' ones only last 12 months through heavy usage...which isn't ideal. Thanks so much x Liked and subscribed x

[@StickerGuru]

Thank you so much for watching! We do share our brand of foil with the students of foiling ecourse! 😉

[@AnasGaming752]

Where from i can get the foil roll

[@Winkie_Designs]

@Saifullah Butt best foil is from hhsignsupply

[@lisaharrison1153]

Thanks this is amazing I appreciate it

[@kqxx]

Which laser printer brand and model do you recommend? I’ve tried brother and it doesn’t work

[@StickerGuru]

Great question! We share this in our latest Office Tour video where we walk through everything we use in our studio in detail and have it linked, so I would definitely recommend checking that out! ☺️

[@planningbyb5549]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I was wondering, how is it possible for you silhouette to scan the marks on the clear paper? With my silhouette it doesn’t work! I always have to make little corners with white sticker paper so my machine can scan them. 💕

[@StickerGuru]

Our portrait 1's also have some trouble scanning sometimes- usually, it's because the clear glossy sticker paper reflects light which interferes with the scanning. We try different placements of the cutting mat when loading it onto the silhouette machine. Another trick we'll do is to lift up the cutting mat while it's trying to scan the first corner- this seems to help the clear paper from reflecting light.

[@sumairanwer5325]

Is it applicable on metal
