A Foiling Game Changer!!!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hello! I MADE AN ERROR IN THE VIDEO! I meant to say I printed the text with a LASER printer, not inkjet. I am so sorry!!!! I felt terrible while doing the voice over and feared I would make a mistake. I am sorry. YES, you use a LASER printer with decofoil!

[@lyngoldinger1056]

What brand laser printer do you use?

[@jennifermcguireink]

I have an old, inexpensive brother printer. similiar to this... amzn.to/2XTz2l7

[@sjameson7100]

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well and hope you're feeling better now. You work so hard for all of your followers and the passion that you have and how it comes through in your creations, always leaves me in awe. Thank you for all you do.

[@analaughlin1071]

No need to apologize Jennifer! Thank you for sharing and teaching us so much! You may have given me the final nodge to buy the glimmer system!

[@kathysingh1510]

You are the QUEEN of Card Making, ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jkupsh]

Well, $500 later…🤣🤣🤣 An amazing video, Jennifer!!! I’ve really come around to the value of stencils. I think the new brushes are what changed my mind. I’m so lucky to have such a sweet husband who never tells me no on crafting goodies! 🥰

[@shellyrene5708]

It adds up quickly - I feel your pain LOL

[@spremier9626]

😂 $$$ indeed, plus I may have to put an addition onto the house for all the craft stuff I keep buying. Lord help me!

[@DianaNorman]

The reverse foiling effect can be achieved using the glimmer foil on cardstock in the laminator. Surround with parchment paper just like the deco foil example. No need to print anything first. No need for the new plate if you already have a laminator.

[@kerrya3111]

Thank you!!!

[@cindym9851]

Do you cover the cardstock with the Deco paste in order to achieve this? How is it done….I’m very interested?

[@kimdad8831]

No need to use the paste as this foil is activated by heat the foil used with the Deco paste is only 'activated' by adhesive, it is the heat that makes the deco paste sticky. I'd you try to use heat activated foil with the paste you will get a poor result as the foil will grab everywhere it can when the heat is applied with laminater. Hope that helps

[@lisastewart6373]

My Gemini Foil Press came with a metal plate, which should produce the same negative foiling effect - I have not tried it yet, but will soon. Anyone else try it yet? Were the results the same as shown in this video?

[@shellyrene5708]

Appreciate the tip - I’ll give it a try

[@created2bless322]

This is very impressive! The teacher is going to be so excited but she may have trouble parting with them as they are beautiful!

[@rubiespaperpieces3140]

That is what I’m thinking….I would have a hard time parting with these beautiful notecards.

[@marigoldStudio]

The principal of my kids school told me many years ago that she couldn't give any of my handmade cards away! 😅

[@mitzidavis7486]

Love, love, love that there’s little waste! Thanks, Jennifer.

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

OH MY GOODNESS! I haven't really been on the fence... I've just been trying to convince myself I don't need this...I have clearly been lying to myself! I actually paused the video to warn my husband that I do in fact need the Glimmer machine! The cards are absolutely stunning. I do soooooo love shiny things! I also love your enthusiasm...absolutely contagious!

[@shellyrene5708]

You MUST have the products - trust me on this one!

[@bunnylands916]

I've been on the fence because the major expense of the machine would open the door to the potentially major expense of adding hot foil dies to my stash. After watching this video, I'm still in the fence but closer to falling onto the "save up and buy the machine" side.

[@Via_Von]

Beautiful cards and I just know Lila's teacher will be blessed by them! Thank you, as always, for every detail, big and small that you include. ❤️😘

[@DeeCreates]

You are incredible, I’m blown away. I’ve been a SU hobby demo for years. Covid helped me find You Tube, which led me to you, Gina, and Kristina among others, and an amazing new creative world. I can’t say thank you enough times for sharing your amazing talent.

[@jennifermcguireink]

I'm so glad! Welcome to the club!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kathyesquerra2085]

You’re such an awesome mom, always thinking of your kids as teachers and always being so thankful. But then again you’re just an awesome person all around.

[@kimdad8831]

I have the go press and foil and Todo have does a plane metal plate too and has done for several years. Also anyone wondering that has a electronic cutting machine ie scan n cut the WRMK foil quill is brilliant but reduce reduce your draw pressure to a minus for best results and slow the speed down. Thank you for all your tutorials xx

[@leeminer1939]

Wow. Fabulous examples, superb video. We know you meant laser printer , not ink jet. You've told us before and to watch you once is to watch you always!

[@xyndarella]

I am in love with personalised stationery and those cards are just beautiful. Your videos are opening my eyes to an entirely different side of crafting that I had no idea existed.

[@CraftyAntics]

Very cool! I have been "foiling the waste" with my gemini foil machine. Many KZbin videos show how to. Do this without the need for the solid plate.

[@Vambiergott]

Yeah, that's right. And every metal shim from a die cutting machine can be heated up to foil the waste. Really no need for this plate...

[@spremier9626]

😂 I already bought the solid plate after the first time I watched this video however I really appreciate you and others pointing out how it’s not needed. Saving money is always in fashion plus it’s one less thing I have to store and inevitably misplace when I need it. Thanks again 🙏🏽 ♥️

[@kristikortman5443]

The foil shine on these is CRAAAZZY. Love it!

[@KWicksable]

“Woo Hoo” , thank you Jennifer. I love your creativity and that you share. This is a game changer. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@lindalincks6187]

What gorgeous cards!! Lila’s teacher will be thrilled! Pinkfresh has such lovely products 💕

[@brendaheins3191]

Cannot say enough about how beautiful these cards are and I really want to start making foiled cards now!

[@pennyf9886]

This video has definitely pushed me over the edge for foiling.

[@pams3887]

Heather Hoffman is a GENIUS!!!!!! I've been collecting my leftover foil but had no idea how I was going to use it........and now we have a solid foil plate!!!!!!

[@louellastephens9046]

The cards are beautiful! The teacher will be so blessed to receive them.

[@shellyrene5708]

I received my solid hot foil plate and foiled the alphabet then proceeded to foil the letters then used the negative to foil a second set - you said it best “GAME CHANGER”!! Best set ever. I didn’t stencil with all six stencils - just used the first 3 and they’re still beautiful!

[@jennifermcguireink]

So glad you love it

[@joyceheinis5125]

Jennifer, I love watching your classes. You make it look so easy. I have learned much from you. I have a hot foil machine and quickly ordered that plate. Great idea. Now I can use all of the pretty foil.

[@shariharvey3137]

I enjoy your card making and uplifting attitude

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Great cards and a wonderful gift. I’ve been rethinking the foil machine for some time and with the addition of the Pink Fresh solid plate, really makes it a game changer. Thanks for enabling my thinking! LOL!

[@yvonneboucher9306]

Oh my gosh, I love this technique. What a wonderful product! I love the versatility and the economic aspect! Thank you, Jennifer.

[@sallygreiner9939]

Another awesome video-thank you! You know we were all paying attention as we “caught” the inkjet vs laser! 😉

[@jennifermcguireink]

😁

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Beautiful cards. I’m always rethinking the need of a foil machine. Love that Pink Fresh came up with the solid plate.

[@jetbossard7923]

This was amazing. To imagine years ago, The only way we had to make foil cards, embossed or otherwise was a Letterpress. We have certainly come a long way. I love your flair for Card design. Thank you for this video.

[@conniepyle904]

I just bought a Gemini Foil Press to use with my Gemini Jr. and I love this video and the work that you put into sharing another way to do foiling. I'm still new at this and your videos have helped me a lot in creating my cards. Thank you

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so welcome!

[@dianemcdonald3900]

Thank you Jennifer! I got a foil system for Christmas! I ordered some of the Pink Fresh dies to try your wonderful ideas!!!!

[@mungalowcrooningswithabian7831]

Your golden must be very loved by the teachers! I know that I would. Teaching is such a hard job so it is lovely to be appreciated the way that you do. I hope that many parents watching you learn this. Your techniques are so easy to follow, I'm definitely looking into the solid plates so that I can extend my foiling you have skills me completely on the stencils. I can't believe that I used to avoid them before. Thank you for all your demonstrations, you have truly helped a generation of crafters become so professional and be able to make better money. Your very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@donnamerriman8475]

OH MY GOODNESS!! This is perfect. I have always hated losing such a cool design on the left over foil! Thank you for sharing and Pink Fresh for wonderful way to conserve and use that foil. My next purchase will be that solid plate for sure!

[@rettalutte9666]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I watched this video early this morning while I was still in bed. I jumped up and ordered the plate. I know they will run out quickly. Can't remember when I have been so excited about a new product! I do a LOT of foiling and this plate is a real game changer, as you said.

[@shellyrene5708]

I know the feeling - I was only minutes in to the video when I switched over and ordered the goodies!

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

These are absolutely gorgeous! I don’t own any foil of any kind (other than aluminum foil! 🤪), but have often watched foiling videos & thought that the leftover pieces were also pretty & should be used! I have so many things in my craft room that I don’t use, I just can’t justify spending more money. I still enjoy watching the videos & always learn something! Thanks so much! 😊❤️

[@AshlynsCardShop]

Oooooohhhhh, that foil plate is brilliant! I love it - and just have to have it! TFS. ❤️

[@annettefertitta6868]

Spectacular!! And you saved my favorite for last!

[@38justmakescents]

OH-I just love the blue one! You do such beautiful cards, I am so envious!

[@ThuyLe-ve2kz]

I absolutely love the personalized cards you made. Gorgeous! I cannot wait to do this. Thank you so much for showing us this!

[@loripus4955]

Pink fresh studio is amazing, they’re sets are so creative and this hot foil plate OMG OMG OMG already ordered.

[@corinne1691]

Absolutely brilliant, had to stop the video to rush off and order it before they ran out! Don’t forget that when you die cut your image out of the negative foiling all of the rest of the solid foil can be used to die cut regular sentiments out of or can just use the solid plate to foil an entire piece of card stock and keep it to die cut anything from, sentiments, flower parts from layered flower dies, cut thin pieces as accent strips etc. So many uses! As soon as I get my ordered plate I plan to do a solid foiled card of every color of foil I have and just keep them as “foiled cardstock” to store with my specialty cardstock to use for accent strips on my cards

[@lornawilburn3605]

Love these cards❣️ Thank you so much for this awesome demonstration and sharing your creativity ❤️ I sincerely appreciate all the effort and time you put into your videos and blog. You are a very talented, thoughtful, and kind woman.

[@judyjones3769]

I am over the edge! So beautiful & you are the secret sauce that makes these ideas so creative. Thank goodness you had a career path change years ago!

[@michelea9142]

Jennifer I can only image how much fun you had with these amazing cards and the new plate! Pink fresh is amazing!

[@beverly2hearts]

Simply amazed by all this goodness!!

[@Phianett]

These are gorgeous! I'm imagining Christmas and Holiday cards ... 🤩

[@janellekm]

That plate means less waste of your foil, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing this with us 😊

[@arlenepowders4989]

These are absolutely beautiful, what a wonderful gift!! Thank you for sharing!

[@shellyrene5708]

This is probably one of my favorite techniques to date - I love all the products and your incredibly beautiful results. A beautiful gift idea!

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Jennifer, I do hope you will have more videos on hot foil techniques! I learn so much from you. I have asked Santa for a Glimmer machine and a little elf told me to buy some accessories for it. Can’t wait to see what I get! Using a laminator is fun but I have so much wasted foil. I’m so glad that I have kept those pieces. Thank you for always sharing your wonderful ideas with us.

[@deeswyt]

Am so happy that you shared your preferred paper for using foil. Thanks Jennifer!

[@HeyYhu101]

Oh my goodness!!! Love this solid plate and the letters.......I have to!! Dang it Jennifer McGuire you did it again! And I am glad!

[@beckygreen3733]

WOW!!! THANK YOU JENNIFER! GORGEOUS CARDS!!! ;)

[@RosyRosie42]

HOW WAS THIS NOT INVENTED SOONER?! 🤩 Ok, in reality, I can’t justify investing in the whole Glimmer System for my craft space just yet, but I still go google-eyed over your foiling videos. This week I printed a bunch of sentiments in toner and used up some old foils that I had, and just yesterday I was thinking how much foil I wasted from the negative space, even though the pattern was still pretty. Watching this full-foil plate at work was so satisfying, and definitely solves a problem and creates less waste! BRILLIANT!! 👏👏👏

[@catherinegiordano4830]

You were right! This video did convince me to try foiling and stencils! I am going to take a stab at it.

[@dollylabelle4101]

Absolutely stunning!

[@shirleyphillips8936]

You have just saved me $200 as I was going to purchase an additional printer (laser) just to foil as I hadn’t realized an ink jet print out would work. Yay. Love your KZbins Jennifer. I have learned so much from you. 🤗😊💐🌺

[@jennifermcguireink]

I totally made a mistake and misspoke. It does only work with laser printer. 🙁

[@susanbender1191]

Absolutely stunning

[@Kazzandshazz]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for your inspiring tips & tricks

[@ankesart2515]

Absolutely amazing. I could resist so long. But how can you don't want to have a foiling machine with these gorgeous options? Your cards are so amazing. 👏👏👏

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Thanks for sharing! Love the little jig at 13:11! Lol😊It’s wonderful that you’re still passionate about your chosen profession! It shows clearly in your videos!

[@eastendcrafter19]

Beautiful cards! Thank you! Definitely taking it up a few notches in terms of $$$ though. I’m thankful for your ideas that I can adapt to using what I have, although Pink Fresh is really knocking it out of the park with their amazing sets.

[@shellyrene5708]

I agree - Pink Fresh is delivering beautiful products - so hard to resist!

[@PatriciaGunn1966]

Absolutely love it. This is a great idea for some Christmas gifts for my Sunday school class. Thank you for sharing.

[@patriciagoode6280]

Such a beautiful collection of cards - absolutely gorgeous and such an inspirational tutorial, with so many excellent ideas. Thanks so much.

[@debbieford6862]

I was on the fence about buying a hot foil machine but after watching the video I bought the solid hot foil plate and a glimmer machine!

[@marthashaw-sylvester2281]

Jennifer, your videos are just great. The information is clear, timely, and inspirational. Thank you so much for all your efforts and enthusiasm.

[@shirleypryor9397]

Jennifer, thank you for sharing PinkFresh solid foil plate. It is a game changer.

[@ellenbornstein7203]

LOVED THIS VIDEO! You have turned me from a terrified to foil into a foiling monster! I just ordered the new foiling plate! You continue to be such an inspiration.

[@shellyrene5708]

I think Pink Fresh just saw their sales skyrocket! The Jennifer effect !

[@annettereed6146]

I like this plain foil plate. It is a great idea. You've used it to make wonderful cards.

[@selinamcginn8749]

The THANKS card is absolutely stunning. Just got my Glimmer hot foil machine and adding items to my wish list after watching your video. Thanks 🙏

[@donnarankin8888]

Lila has one lucky teacher! Better than anything store bought! 💜

[@cinderspapercraft89]

Loved this! I have been able to use up the left over as I have the Gemini Foilpress and the metal plate does it, but even so I purchased this, and the Inna collection and others! My bank manager just doesn’t understand the ‘I need that’ of crafters! Thank you 💕

[@joanwilliams7105]

Pink Fresh is absolutely brilliant...and Jennifer, your cards are gorgeous!

[@pattiepan]

Wow Jennifer these are all fantastic............thanks so much for sharing and demonstrating...I always learn best by seeing it done. pat

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Gorgeous cards! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kathyhutchinson3058]

I’m sure the teacher is going to be thrilled with that gift, they are so beautiful. I think I may need to get a glimmer foil machine, I shall start dropping hints now as Christmas is not far away.

[@susieqmartin2746]

You got me, I found the glimmer machine on Amazon for $84.00 great buy. Also got the Pinkfresh Studio’s solid plate can’t wait to get it.

[@vanessabrown28]

I didn't notice your note above and went ahead and tried using an ink jet printer. It actually worked to an extent but besides foiling the lettering it left a 'spray' of foil where the lettering wasn't. It gives it a kind of grunge look and for some projects this is fine. Thank you for your mistake as I wouldn't have tried using the ink jet printer if you had said laser!

[@jennifermcguireink]

I'm surprised it stuck at all. But I bet it looks like a fun grungy look if any of it stick!

[@maryguikema4698]

I have had a hot foil machine (Gemini Foil Press) for several years and haven't used it much. This new plate will change things for me. I like the reverse foiling almost better than the original foiling. Thank you for sharing this and your many great ideas.

[@lisaainscough2465]

Oh Jennifer That hot foil plate is just amazing. I've tried booting powder with reasonable success but this is just at a whole new level. Cheers Lisa

[@daphnecummins8228]

Wow this plate is fantastic. Thankyou.

[@emodablest]

Total game changer!!! This is so awesome, Jennifer! And a great use of all the pieces. Tfs

[@janmarch5039]

I’ll bet the teachers at Lila’s school fight over having her as a student…between her sweet little personality and creativity and have Jennifer McGuire for a Mom…wowsa…Homerun! These cards are beautiful and all the info on foiling is so helpful. I have this letter set but didn’t realize they had stencils and foiling plates to go with, what fun!

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

I always wondered what you would do with the leftover foil. This looks great. TFS

[@jillslocum5413]

I haven’t wanted to foil until today…..wow wow WOW! These are beautiful!

[@rosslynpierce6207]

Very beautiful cards!

I have a foiling machine and have ordered the plate and the alphabet foil, dies, stamps and stencils!

[@debbiel890]

oh wow -that reverse technique is fab - love stencils too -thank you for all your effort on this video

[@4nikkimay]

Wow what a neat way to foil. Thanks for showing both ways. 💕

[@harshgurl]

This has blown my mind 🤯! I already own the SB foil press but haven’t used it much. Now I have to take it out and use it again 😃💗! As soon as I can, I will get the new foil plate so I can stretch my foil supplies. Thanks for always sharing your fun techniques 💗!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Brilliant, game-changing, THANK YOU, Jennifer 💘

[@ceceliaspencer4976]

OMG! That is absolutely awesome! I have been reluctant to buy the large hot foil plates because I was concerned about the waste. This is genius and I will most certainly buy this and some larger plates! Thank you for sharing!

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Me too!
