AUSTRALIA. Love Crafty Critta. Great that a giveaway is available to people from Aus

Thanks so much Pamela, I love CC too!

[@genevievemilot8187]

I have to confess i have a foil addiction. Thank you for igniting it again and full confession lots of foil coming my way 😍😍

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha maybe we need to have a 'Foiler's Anonymous' club lol.

[@genevievemilot8187]

@@lostinpaper on it but there is no cure but to actually foil so let’s foil on

[@lostinpaper]

@@genevievemilot8187 I totally agree lol

Alberta Jameson from Dayton, NV in the USA. I have never foiled so I sm happy yo know you can foil without a machine 😍🤩

[@lostinpaper]

There are many other ways to foil without a machine, I have just touched on the surface Marie. One of my faves is add it to alcohol ink backgrounds as a highlight.

Hi Therese...... I enjoyed watching this today, & hope you have a wonderful & safe holiday with your families!

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Cheri!

[@juliehenderson1990]

I have leanrt so much from you today Thank you for sharing and showing us so many wonderful ways to use foils. I have previously been kinda scared to try foiling but now can't wait to 'play' as well! I make cards for residents at an ages care facility and this foiling technique will help me make more special cards for them They love to have home made cards to give to their family members and friends. Now they will have some very stunning cards soon So thank you for your clear and wonderfuly friendly video.

[@lostinpaper]

You are so welcome Julie! What a great way to share your craft and I too struggled with foiling and am so happy to be able to work through the wins and mistakes with you so that we can both learn. Honestly I am just a little addicted right now and I'm so glad you will join me too lol.

[@patwilliams9730]

I'm new to foiling and I to found Crafty Critta from Nancy's group and have already placed 2 orders and love foiling!

[@lostinpaper]

I have only had the best service and fast shipping from them, they are a delight to buy from!

[@Taitcreates639]

Love Nancy, that’s who showed me all I know for card making. She is the queen of foiling for both kinds of foiling. You have created some beautiful cards. Tfs

[@nancyprobst6311]

I missed the live, but I really enjoyed watching the replay. So many beautiful foiling projects. I have toner foil as well as hot foil. This has really inspired me to get it out and get busy! Thank you. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. See you when you get back. ❤

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you so much Nancy, isn't it nice to have options. And these foils are so pretty, now I have lots of options lol.

[@janellegraham8896]

Heidi Swapp now has toner ink that is used with a stamp pad for stamping/stencilling and uses the Minc for toner foiling. So cool!

[@lostinpaper]

Good to know!

[@57bev]

Ok Therese! I hold you responsible for my Crafty Critta order, plus my mini minc that’s coming to live in my craft room shortly! 🤣 Fantastic video by the way, and I can’t wait to play! I think the postman will have to swim here tho…..sooo much rain again. 🥰

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha Yes, you will love them Bev! I had no luck at all with the cheap machine but the Minc is truly a game changer, I wish I had the Mini version myself but I can't complain I got a great price and luckily my room is large (wink). Hope you have fun with them!

[@yellowroses15]

Hi Therese - watching replay. I thought I was Live with you, I was so excited, until I realized I wasn't! LOL! :-)!! But so glad I can still watch your video. Thanks for all the Foil Tips!

[@lostinpaper]

hahaha you totally made me laugh out loud, so glad you could join me on the 'Live' lol.

[@dorthybarber8771]

Great ideas for foiling. Thanks for sharing.

[@lostinpaper]

Glad you like them, thank you Dorthy!

[@CrazyCrafter821]

Hi Therese, hope you have a lovely vacay, enjoy the time off! Also a Nancy Stamps follower (& FSC) - I loved your video. I started out with the Cricut Maker and slowly but surely got sucked into card making so now have the Mama Minc & got the Glimmer for Christmas. So many machines, so many lovely possibilities!

[@lostinpaper]

I totally hear you Carly, these 'machines' give us so many possibilites... I'm feeling like the holiday would be to stay at home and play with them more lol. But I do seriously love to try out new things and always have fun trying, sounds like you are very similar! Thanks so much for your lovely comment and visits here, Crafty hugs Tx

[@delinaquilter1418]

love your video! Most important to show how you are processing each piece - not sped up and flashed by us! Love that - learning so much! Thank you!

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Delina, I'm so happy you enjoyed this, these foils were such fun to play with!

[@rebeccah1635]

What a great & informative video! I’ve done some toner foiling in the past with a laminator- very inconsistent results. I came across a Minc at a really great price too and couldn’t resist. At the time it cost significantly less than the mini, so I got it. It is huge! That was a while ago and haven’t even played yet. Now I’m definitely inspired! After you showed us your swatch card with the 3D clear foil I had to pause the video and follow the link to Crafty Critta! I’m in the US and never ordered from AU before so have no idea how long it will take to arrive, but I’m excited for when it does! Like you, I got a bit giddy when you revealed some of the items! I’m gaga over the flower powers & the 3D. Although I didn’t just stop at ordered those particular foils (oops!). My mouth dropped when you were able to foil over the embossed stamp image using the Minc - I had no idea! Several years ago some one came out with a glue pad (like an ink pad) that was supposed to work for foiling- but it wasn’t very effective & was pretty messy. This method was awesome! I hope you have a safe & wonderful holiday!

[@lostinpaper]

Yay! So glad you enjoyed this Rebecca, I almost forgot I was filming I was having such fun with everyone! Glad you were inspired and hope that everything works as well for you as it did me. And you will love the Minc, it's a game changer!

[@Mary-eo2iu]

Hi Therese - I am enjoying the replay - really interesting info. I had given up on the mink machine but will have to dust it off and try again with this new stuff.

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks so much Mary! Did you have problems with the Minc? Or do you think it was the foil or cardstock that you were using?

[@glendanaumann780]

I love toner foiling it is so addictive. It is hard not to buy all the foils

[@lostinpaper]

I know, I was checking out the new foils at Crafty Critta yesterday.... I know what I will be doing after I get back from holidays lol.

[@carissaworkman4928]

New to your channel! Love your colorful card!

[@lostinpaper]

Yippee! A Big welcome to you Carissa, I do hope you stop and check out some more videos and find a little inspiration!

[@gailgale2375]

Thank you. I am Just starting Foiling. Your video was very helpful and delightful to watch.

[@lostinpaper]

Glad it was helpful, you are so sweet, thank you Gail!

[@janellegraham8896]

I will say that when using toner sheets etc, the fresher they are the better they work. As the toner ages, it starts to go patchy/streaky.

[@lostinpaper]

I didn't know that either... maybe that is why my other ones didn't work so well Janelle

[@viviantongue1250]

Hi Therese , i missed the live and am watching the replay. This was fantastic and very informative! Thank you!

[@lostinpaper]

So glad you enjoyed it Vivian!

[@dfwscrapper]

Love, love, love foiling and can’t wait to try this brand 💕💕

[@lostinpaper]

It's so good! I had already ordered from them before they reached out to me and they were fabulous so I was very happy to collaborate with something I already loved lol.

[@TheAjjupiter]

Fun video, Therese. Ooo, that hot pink and the clear foiling is amazing! I dropped my minc machine last week while cleaning (I knew that cleaning was a bad idea), it broke the housing off. It still works. It'll drive me crazy and I'll have to replace it. I'll get the small one or a laminator this time.

[@lostinpaper]

I hear you, I almost gasped when I opened the packet and realised the size and weight of it lol. I didn't know they had the Mini ones in Australia until recently.

[@CardsbyMaaike]

i'm willing to pick them up ;-) great stuff. love the flower power pink and the 3d clear!

[@lostinpaper]

You should, I'll pop the kettle on!

[@craftysandyscards]

Hi Therese, I have the small Heidi Swapp machine and her foils, its a fun thing to play with and I really should use it more 😂. My machine also came from spotlight on special a few years ago I love it. Thanks so much. Stay safe Sandy 🌸

[@lostinpaper]

Definitely worth waiting for their sales, i got mine at a great price... I just didn't realise I was buying the 'big' one lol.

[@craftysandyscards]

@@lostinpaper haha, these things happen, it must have been a great price for the big one! Have fun. Sandy

[@janellegraham8896]

Just a hint: make sure that any toner colour is covered by foil, otherwise it will stick to the carrier sheet and transfer onto future projects.

[@lostinpaper]

ahem.... I did notice that lol. Rookie mistake for me Janelle lol.

[@traceysleeman2836]

Thanks for sharing, it all looks amazing

[@lostinpaper]

Thanks for watching, I'm so happy you are here Tracey!

[@kirstentanner179]

Thanks for the discount Code Therese, I just ordered some supplies that you used in the video. You so must get a gelli plate - they are so much fun.

[@lostinpaper]

ooh I know Kirsten, that Gelli Plate looks scary to me... but you must check out Nancy Stamp's recent video where she used layered stencils to create a beautiful floral background with Pan Pastels, it's stunning!!

[@justlm316]

Cool techniques tfs

[@lostinpaper]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cuddlykoala5992]

Thank you for the Prize Therese :) received it this morning and so excited to try a few things out :) I hope you have not been caught up in the Floods either at home of while on holiday. Please let me know you are all ok :) PS absolutely love your card, my partner Peter looked at it and put it in the crystal cabinet for safe keeping lol

[@lostinpaper]

So glad it arrived safe and sound. My apologies it was later than I planned to send it but we were flooded in for a few days and didn't have any internet either. So I couldn't let you know. We live on a hill so our house is okay. And we did manage to get away on holidays. I am now catching up on my messages on the internet at a B&B on the Yorke penninsula. We did have to change the way we travelled as the roads out West were flooded as well, but we were happy to get away as planned and feeling very lucky knowing how much others have lost.

[@cuddlykoala5992]

@@lostinpaper so happy to hear you are all safe n sound and that you got your break :) I have been worried :) so many have lost everything, its heartbreaking :( i am currently working 12 x 7 trying to get emergency payments out to everyone to try to help at least a little. There are thousands of us doing the same, but so many to help… anyway I hope you have a great holiday and get back home safely! :) hugs!

[@lostinpaper]

@@cuddlykoala5992 Look after yourself too, you are going to be exhausted, but your work will be truly appreciated, I couldn't believe just how many people's houses were flooded just in our area and we weren't hit anywhere near as hard as some areas.

[@janellegraham8896]

Hello, Therese, again. Lovely to see and hear you again. As you know I LOOOVE foiling, so it was terrific to see your topic today. I think the Minc is superior to the laminator for foiling.

[@lostinpaper]

Totally agree, it foils like a dream, but the price point and the size of the one I have is a little scary lol. Lovely to see you here Janelle, I hope that you and your family are well. x

[@annekelly6354]

Hello all

[@lostinpaper]

Hi there Anne, Welcome!

[@Jelly-rj8fz]

can you use any glue, and why do you need to let it dry?

[@lostinpaper]

Great tip, thanks so much!

[@rebeccah1635]

I think you have to let it dry enough to get tacky. The foiling won’t stick to a glue while the glue is wet (vs sticky). I’m not sure if all kinds of glue works, but you could try!

[@olivia8979]

Great. i love Minc foiling videos :) Simon Hurley had a fascinating video just yesterday. He foiled a stamped image that he had heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I tried it and it works. I need to play a bit with it to get it perfected, but it is very interesting and very promising. If you are interested check Simon's video from yesterday.

[@lostinpaper]

Yes I only found out about this technique recently from Lisa Arana (Dahl-House Designs) on her video and tried a quick version myself at the end of this video. she also used her Glimmer to add toner foil which was brilliant, so I must try this myself too. Thanks for the heads up about Simon's video, I think he's amazing and love his style so will definitely check it out!

[@olivia8979]

@@lostinpaper Oh, I thought I saw your whole video, but I missed that you tried it. I'll look for Lisa's video. I don't quite understand how she used her glimmer to add toner foil, but I am sure I will after I see the video. Thanks for the extra info. And quite a few months ago I made a purchase from Crafty Critta and love their foil. I pretty much have a lifetime supply. I hope it doesn't have a shelf life!

[@lostinpaper]

@@olivia8979 I don't think the foil itself has a shelf life but someone did say that the toner sheets can get 'old' and may not work as well... but truly I think as long as they weren't left out in the sun they should be fine for YEARS, so I think you are A-Okay lol. Yes, it was interesting to see her 'toner'' foil on the glimmer I had to watch it twice myself!
