More Ways to Apply Transfer Foil WITHOUT A MACHINE! Deco Foil, Foil-Mates, & More

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I paid $16 at Walmart for a laminator and it works great. I also bought some toner from Amazon. I mixed the toner with glue and made a toner paint. You can draw and paint with it, let it dry and use the iron or the laminator to add foil! It works perfectly!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Yep that will work.....I have a cheap laminator too. But my favorite way to use Deco Foil is without a machine at all (not a laminator or iron or printer).......you should watch my video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE". Perfect for when you want to add it to dimensional things like home decor projects and such. Have fun :) Hugs...Janie

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Janie - The Craft Princess I’ve been watching all of your videos about using foil and I have learned a few things. You are very interesting! Thank you!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@BeatlesFanSonia Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear you are learning a few things....I hope you are enjoying the videos. I have learned some new things from you too and forgot to address that in my original comment because I was interrupted by a phone call. I find it intriguing about mixing toner and glue to make a toner paint.....sounds fascinating and I might have to try that sometime. There is also something called Deco Foil Transfer Gel that works similar to the mixture you made only no toner......it dries tacky and can be used with or without the laminator. I will probably make a video with it in the near future. Thank you for sharing that. If there is anything else you need feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer :) Hugs.....Janie

I love this idea! Ironing foil on. Yes!!

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Yay! Thank you! And I'm guessing if you like the idea of ironing it on, then maybe you also would like to know how to foil without a machine, without a printer, without an iron, without a laminator? I have 2 videos on applying foiling without a machine and they are both linked in this video description box and also on the end screen of this video....one has 7 ways and the other has 5 more ways 😊 Enjoy!

Hey I've been working with my foil too, so much fun. Made my husband a card for Fathers Day.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I love that you don't have to have a machine to use the foil.....in fact I've using transfer foil before any of these machines came out. I started with YuDu foil (for Provo Craft's screen printing machine) and that's how I found the techniques I used in my first video....7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine. Later I learned about the laser printer but didn't have one....got one finally....and luckily I have a YourStory laminator but wanted to show that an iron works for those that don't have a laminator. But I really love all the ways this foil can be used to add that special touch to cards and craft projects :) Hugs...Janie

[@KateriBurnett]

jjgz4ever I'm not sure if I told you this or not, but you can use a glue pen writer but wait for it to dry and run through the laminator or iron. If you have a stamp you really like you can trace it with glue pen let it dry and then apply the foil or if you have pretty handwriting you can trace it with your glue pen. I learned this from Jennifer McGuire. Bye Hun.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Hi....you must not have watched my other video that I told you about (it's from 9 months ago but I can give you the link if you want).....in that video I show how to stamp and also use a glue pen.....no ironing or machine needed.....as well as 5 other ways to use transfer foil.

[@GettinBye1]

When the Minc was first released, I had to have it, it's not the big one, but that's ok since I don't really foil much or make anything larger tan card size anyway! I love the iron option, what a great idea since the Minc is pricey. I also heard fairly recently (about a year ago) to use a fuffy make-up brush to dust off your laser images before you foil them. That helps not get any extra foil where it shouldn't go! A lot like using a lint roller on your fabric before sublimating. Anyway, thanks for these great ways to foil! ❤

[@janiethecraftprincess]

The make-up brush is a great idea. As for the Minc machine......I don't own won, I never saw the reason. But I do have a laminator and that works great. And we bought a laser printer for some craft projects and office work, but didn't buy it for this even though it came in handy until it stopped responding. But the pre-printed toner sheets are nice for those that don't have a laser printer and want to do stuff like this. However my favorite ways to use foil are still the thechniques that don't need a machine or heat 😊💗🤗 Hugs....Janie

[@GettinBye1]

@@janiethecraftprincess when I bought the Minc it was during a time in my life where I was collecting and not really creating - which is a completely inappropriate reason to buy stuff. I have since become smarter! I have used the Minc a few times, certainly not as much as I should have and I have to agree with you about the non-heat options and the reason is that there seems to be so many more options to getting that foil to your projects that a heat machine just can't do (like the stencils). I also have a laser printer and not utilize it enough! I think you have been inspiring for me reviving a lot of the craft items that I have and have had for years to start using again. Thanks for being an amazing crafter and YT person! I just love ya ta bits!!! Xo

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@GettinBye1 I'm so happy my videos are inspiring you 😊 The awesome thing about the non-heat no machine methods are that you can apply foil to things that can't go through a Minc machine or laminator or other foiling machines. Machines limit it to flat flexable items......but with the other techniques you can add to dimensional objects like jars, frames and other fun things 😊💗🤗 Hugs.....Janie

I have the couture creations heat press foil and I have a mini press, would I use the iron method with that?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I honestly have no idea. I only shared the iron method as an option, I personally don't use it. I mostly use the techniques that I share in other videos that don't require any machines or heat at all, and when I do need to use an option that requires heat I use my laminator. I know nothing about Couture Creations heat press foil. And since you said you have a mini press (guessing that's a heat press) you can always try that. But if you want to learn other ways to use transfer foil, I have other videos and you can find them all in my Playlists.....the playlist is called Deco Foil Transfer Foil Techniques.

I have to try this. Can you use something other than parchment paper?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

I would answer your question but not sure which thing you're referring to. If you are referring to use in the laminator then you can use parchment paper or a folded piece of printer paper. If you are talking about ironing, then I suggest the parchment paper or teflon sheets. The pre-printed toner sheets come with a piece of parchment paper. Better yet, watch my videos that show how to foil without a machine at all.....no laser printer, no laminator, no iron. I have one called 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE! and another one called How To Use Deco Foil WITHOUT A MACHINE - 5 More Ways!

Hello, I have a question, So you can use a inkjet printer with foil, just as long as you print in black? Thanks for the reply

[@janiethecraftprincess]

No.....there is something about laser printer ink that adheres to the foil. But I do have other videos on using the foil without a machine......without a laser printer....without laser printed images....without an iron.....without a laminator....without any special machine. I have 2 videos.....one with 7 ways and one with 5 more ways. Those might interest you :)

[@daqunnj]

When applying the deconl foil do all backgrounds have to black based.? Or can it be white.?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

From you question it appears you did not listen to or understand this video. For this particular application the Deco Foil adheres to laser printed images. Since there is no white ink for any printer then there is no ink for it to adhere to if it's white. And since the foil covers the image then I'm not sure why you would care if it is black or white because it won't show. I think you need to watch this video again and this time actually pay attention. If this is not the application you are lookking for then maybe you might be more interested in what is in my other video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE"

[@kariniemannfuss9208]

what is the foil sticking to? I'm only familiar with the method used for clothing.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Did you watch the video? As I show in the video, the foil sticks to the laser printed images. I also have other videos that show many other things it sticks to :)

[@jkafie]

Hiii I don’t fully understand how does the foil come up only on the paris designs and texts? Will this work if I print out just anything in black ink or is that ink on it something particular

[@janiethecraftprincess]

As stated in the video, it is printed with a Laser printer and not an inkjet printer. There is something about the black ink from a laser printer that the foil will cling to when heated. However if you would like to learn how to foil without having to use a laser printer or laminator, I have 2 videos that might be of interest to you. 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts - WITHOUT A MACHINE!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DQfZWhjtmGrZY And.....5 More Ways To Use Deco Foil WITHOUT A MACHINE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYvUdYydasiqp8k I hope my answer has helped, and I hope you find the other videos helpful.

Thank you for the ideas on using foils. Thank you for sharing. What kind of iron is best for this?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you for watching.....I see you watched one of my other videos on transfer foil. I actaully have several videos on using transfer foil (Deco Foil).....I hope you check them all out. As for what kind of iron is best for this......the answer would be any good iron. I have used a full-size iron (but mine is old and I'm not sure it the greatest).....I have used a small craft iron (they usually don't have heat settings)......and I would have to say for smaller projects my favorite is the Clover Mini Iron II - The Adapter Set (it comes with several attachments) and it has different heat settings. However I happen to have a t-shirt press which I like best for applying to fabric, but a full-size iron works good too. So basically it depends on what you are doing.....size etc....but whatever iron you have should work. Talking about fabric.....I hope you watch my video on applying the foil to fabric....I think you will like it :) Hugs...Janie

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Hi Donna.....thank you so much for watching and subscribing!!! Your sweet comments mean so much to me...THANK YOU!!! It sounds like you have an ink jet printer, and I'm so sorry to say but as I said in the video it needs to be a laser printer or the pre-printed sheets.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Donna I do hope you watched the other video.....and I should have another one later this summer. As for not wanting to run to the store everytime you need images.....you can get several pages of images printed at one time and just keep them in a safe place (maybe a file or folder) for future use. For me it was worth it to get a laser printer because I also use it when I want to transfer photos onto tiles and wood (check my videos on doing that)....and also we live in the middle of nowhere at least 1 hour to the nearest Staples. But as you will see in my other video, there are MANY ways to use transfer foil with out having to use a printer or machine of any kind. I hope you have fun experimenting :) Hugs...Janie

[@xiomaraluciano9557]

Thank you so much for all these excellent tutorials . I have 2 questions, Yesterday I bought a “glimmer plate” thinking it was a cutting die, when I read it was to use with a hot foil system (no idea about that). Looking in KZbin I found you(thanks God) and became interesting. I have seen so far 4 great tutorials. My questions now: can I use that plate as a cutting die with my cuttlebug ? And then use the foil on top of the image with the iron or laminator? If so, what is the order of plates on the cuttlebug? I’m afraid to ruin my machine. 2. Can I use any designed paper (commercial) and put the foil on it to make it sparkle? I will appreciate all your expertise, lot of blessings. .

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your sweet comment. I'm not sure which of my transfer foil videos you have watched as I have several (you can find them all in one of my Playlists), but I think you might be interested in 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHNE, and 5 More Ways To Use Deco Foil WITHOUT A MACHINE. So with that said.....I'm sorry but I can't give you any advice or tips on using the "glimmer plate" or hot foil system. That is a completely different type of foil and has a special machine to use the "plates" with. I don't own any and have never tried it. There is also a special heat tool for your Cricut if you use that type of foil. But transfer foil (Deco Foil, etc) is different and can be used with or without heat. But back to your question.....I have no idea if you can use the "glimmer plate" as a cutting die or if you can use it with an iron......however I would NOT try putting it through a laminator, I think that would be a disaster. If you want to use the "glimmer plate" you will need to buy the foiling system that goes with it and the type of foil that it works with. If you want to use transfer foil you can use that with your laminator or without as shown in my videos. There are links in my video description boxes to where you can get the foil. Good luck :) Hugs....Janie

[@xiomaraluciano9557]

Janie - The Craft Princess thanks for your prompt response .what about the use of any designed commercial paper.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@xiomaraluciano9557 You can foil on anything you want and any paper / cardstock you want. Without using a machine I have foiled on all kinds of home decor projects. I even have a video on how to foil on fabric and it's washable. I have foiled on napkin crafting projects and more. If you use the laminator method you can only foil things that fit through the laminator like paper or cardstock. If you use a laser printer (and laminator) you can only use what will fit through that as well. But the methods I share in the 2 videos I told you about can be used on anything. As I told you before I have a playlist with all of my foiling technique videos which should give you plenty of information. Maybe I'll think about putting together a playlist of videos where I am foiling projects......but you can still find those videos if you scroll through my videos. But first I think you need to binge watch my Deco Foil Transfer Foil Techniques playlist. I can tell that you are going to have many questions and I think most of them would be answered in my videos :) Hugs....Janie

Is that a special craftmat for high heat (the iron)? Thanks for sharing.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

It just a craft mat I think I got from Ranger.....or it could be a different one....BUT....it is teflon and the same thing used with heat press to protect the fabric. Craft mats are made from the same stuff, teflon, because it's non-stick. Here is a link to some on Amazon for great price ($7.99 for 3 large sheets). www.amazon.com/Teflon-Sheets-Press-Transfers-Resistant/dp/B06ZZB2BPR/ref=sr_1_21?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1525721050&sr=1-21&keywords=craft+mat And here is a link to the samething from Ranger....2 smaller sheets for 5x the cost www.amazon.com/RANGER-NSC20677-15-Inch-18-Inch-Inkssentials/dp/B0774ZJHK2/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1525721297&sr=1-2&keywords=ranger%2Bcraft%2Bmat&th=1 You can decide but they are both teflon sheets and great craft mats :) Hugs...Janie

Can I do with chocolate golden foil

[@janiethecraftprincess]

This is transfer foil......as you can see in the video, the backing does not look like the foil that wraps candy. However you might as well give it a try but don't get your hopes up. This is a special foil created to transfer a few different ways......in this video I'm showing it adhering to laser printed images with heat. But I also have videos on how to use it without heat or laser printing......my favorite way in fact.....by using tacky adhesives. If you want to learn more you can look in my Playlists for the one with all of my Deco Foil / Transfer Foil Techniques. Thanks for stopping by.

Where did you get the heart image? Thank you

[@janiethecraftprincess]

LOL....Kelly this video is a year old and I had to watch it all the way through so I would know what you're talking about. The only thing that might be a "heart image" would be on the sheet I showed at the very beginning but didn't use in the video (unless I missed it). Being that it was a year ago I have no idea where that image came from. I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of digital images and rarely use the same one twice. I actually looked through some trying to find that for you and didin't find it but saw many images I had forgotten I had. I'm sure you can find many cool heart images if you just look. Also, if you haven't already watched 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine I think you would like it.....and I also have a video series Fun With Deco Foil.....and a video on applying transfer foil to fabric (and it's washable). Transfer foil is so much fun. Thanks for watching :) Hugs...Janie

I couldn't find out which setting you set your iron on. Is it the highest?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you so much for watching and I hope I can answer your question. My iron is old and has issues to I don't trust the settings but I would say a high setting....I might have used Cotton. I have used a craft iron with no settings on and another craft iron that I set on medium. My best advice is to experiment and see what setting works best on YOUR iron. Every iron is a little different.....and so is the time....it could even be a little different between using Foil Mates or using your own laser printed images....but I know you will find what works best for you :) Hugs...Janie

@@megs1768 Every iron is different and the one I used there is old. And if I use my craft irons, one doesn't have a setting and the other has high, mediium, and low.....with that one I usually start off with mediium and if that doesn't work I go to high. You just need to see what setting works best with your iron (or use a laminator). And yes you can print any image you want......it's not about the image it's about the laser printer. The heat makes the foil stick to the toner. Or you can purchase pre-printed toner sheets.

How the foil sticks to the design....is it just the inkjet printer ink or seperate glue to be applied over?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Crafter's like myself put a lot of time and money into making videos for their viewers and I take the time to show each step and provide all the info so my viewers don't have to ask me how I did it. It is obvious that you didn't watch the video because in the first 90 seconds I tell you what type of printer to use. And I also show step by step.....so anything needed would be shown to you.....which means if glue was neccessary I would show it to you and show you how to use it. In this time I have wasted replying I could have easily answered your questions, but instead I would like you to show some respect and watch the video to find your answers. If it's not worth your time to watch then just remember it's not worth my time to answer questions that are answered by watching the video.

Janie - The Craft Princess It wouldn’t take but a few seconds to answer her quickly. Maybe she’s got a lot going in the background, or was busy reading comments or whatever and missed the first 90 seconds. I just think kindness and compassion is the best way to be with people as we never know what’s going on in someone’s life. You’ll definitely gain a greater audience rather than turning people off.

First thing you need to do is watch the video....I show how it works. I made the video so I wouldn't have to explain it it repeatedly and you can actaully watch it in action which should make it easier to understand. Also, you do not print foil.

[@jf5316]

Did you print your own designs on regular paper or cardstock? What kind of surface did you iron on?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. I use my laser printer to print on both copy paper and cardstock....whatever my needs are...but mostly cardstock. I use a firm surface to iron on......and I make sure it is a safe surface that can handle the heat. I usually have my teflon craft mat under what I'm doing.. And you didn't ask but most people want to know what heat setting to use for their iron and my answer to that is, it depends on the iron you are using but typically a high setting. You will have to experiment with your iron to find out how hot and how long (just in case you were going to ask that later). With laminators being so inexpensive now days I suggest looking into getting one if you want to do this a lot. Also, if you have't already watched it, I have another video (link above) 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts WITHOUT A MACHINE......no iron, no printer, no laminator, no foiling machine....you will probably love it.

Is the foil paper reacting to heat or does it need some adhesive to it? Did you just cover your print out ones and then iron or did you have to put adhesive on it and let it dry?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you for watching. To answer your question....as you can see by watching this video, no adhesive was used. I do however have another video on applying transfer foil that uses a variety of adhesives (link is above). In this video I'm sharing a method that uses pre-printed (laser printed) cardstock and also images that I laser printed myself. There is something about laser printed images that the transfer foil adheres to when heated by an iron or put through a laminator. For future information.....I will always show each step so you don't have ask questions like this. Watching the video you never saw me use any adhesive or talk about adhesives....so there were no adhesives involved. I just want you to know that in case you watch other videos of mine, you will then know that I didn't leave out anything important :) Hugs...Janie

I tried the iron method yesterday, but was NOT successful. I got really frustrated. It didn't transfer evenly. I tried to patch those areas, but it transferred black to parts of it (maybe it picked up the ink, and then laid it down?). I might have to buy a machine.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Sharon there are so many variables.....were you using images you printed yourself with a laser printer or were you using Foil Mates? What brand of transfer foil did you use (I am not pleased with MINC brand at all)? What setting was your iron at and how long did you iron? I have never heard of or seen it "transfer back"....can't even imagine how that is possible as it does not stick to other things except laser printing or adhesives (as in my video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts - WITHOUT A MACHINE"...or other adhesives. If you plan to invest in a machine I got a laminator from Amazon....it has 2 settings and is jam proof......it was around $30 and is the Scotch PRO Thermal Laminator.

[@mcescher1957]

I enjoyed this video, but for most of these you were using a machine....I am a bit confused...was the iron the no machine part?

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Yes as far as I'm concerned an iron is not a "machine" like a laminator or MINC machine, and most people own one so it's not like they have to go buy something special to use transfer foil. Also the other "no machine" part was the pre-printed Foil Mates which are nice for those people that don't have a laser printer (another "machine" that not everyone has). So if you use the Foil Mates and your iron then you don't need to have special machines like a laser printer and laminator or MINC machine. However I also showed the other options in case someone does have those machines. Maybe you should watch my other video, 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine, link is above, you will probably be happier with that.....but beware, I use my Cuttlebug in that one even though you don't need to use one. My goal is to show options to my viewers.....some have machines, some don't....I like to show that it can be done either way. If you don't own an iron then you will definitely prefer the other video.

[@mcescher1957]

Thanks... I was just having some fun with you! Actually, I have been looking at some inexpensive black and white laser printers so I can create my own "Foil Mates".

I like doing my own too.....my hubby bought me a laser printer for some other crafts I do (videos on transfering photos to ceramic tiles and wood) so it comes in handy for the foil too.

Hi Susan, thanks for watching.

The Royal Soverign laminator recommended by Thermoweb is on Amazon for $30 with Prime shipping. It works very well, better than the mini Minc I wasted money on. And the family laminates for school.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

You can actually get laminators on Amazon for as little as $17. I have had my YourStory laminator & heat binder for years, but a lot of my viewers don't have a laminator and don't want to spend the money on one so I'm always trying to show ways that people can do crafts with products they might just have around the house. Therm O Web has never suggested a certain brand of laminator to me and I would never suggest a certain brand to my viewers. But yes, one can be picked up fairly cheap at Amazon for those who want to spend the money.....or they can just use their iron.....or better yet use none of that, like I show in my other video "7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine" (link above) because not all crafts will fit through a laminator and may not be able to be ironed either. So there are options for everyone :) Hugs...Janie

[@deesthings9536]

If you watch Creativation 2016 and see the Thermoweb booth and tutorials, they themselves prefer the Royal Soverign laminator and it's what they sell on their website but any heat laminator works. Last year, I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a Scotch brand laminator for $14.99 (includes: laminator, attached cord, a couple of free laminating pouches, easy release switch in case your project gets stuck, timed shut off, 3mil and 5mil settings) and it does an amazing job on everything that I've put through there so far and I've used mine weekly for 18 months. Thermoweb does recommend using the suggested mil setting on the Deco Foil instructions for better adhering. My Scotch brand is only a 9in. wide laminator because most paper is 8.5x11. I would honestly search around before just buying any laminator if nothing else for the price. You may be able to find one at your local craft store using a discount coupon or even Wal-Mart. I liked finding mine at Wal-Mart because I went to their site and I received a $2.00 discount for picking it up in store. I know only certain items are discounted that way at different times and different stores. I hope this gives you a little bit more information about the Thermoweb preferred laminator vs. a basic laminator from the store. You never know when that saved dollar may come in handy for more craft supplies! That's always fun..I hope you have a bless day or night depending on when you read this. :-)

LOL...this whole chain of comments just makes me wonder why either of you were even watching my video to begin with. I have a series of videos on using transfer foil WITHOUT A MACHINE for a reason...and the reason is not because I'm clueless....it's because I have viewers that don't have machines (laminators or MINC or any other similar machine) and they don't want to spend the money to buy them. So I'm not looking for a laminator for myself....I'm quite happy with the one I have....nor am I looking to sell them to my viewers. I would also like to add that Therm O Web is quite aware of my videos and has never suggested to me that I buy a Soverign laminator so I think they are less worred about it than you two are. But the fact is this video and the other videos on this matter are and will remain about using transfer foil WITHOUT A MACHINE and my viewers are loving it and leaving me wonderful comments thanking me for the info. I appreciate that you watched my video but if your only purpose was to try to sell a laminator or to make my viewers and myself feel inadequet for not using a machine, or the "right" machine, then you have come to the wrong place. However if you enjoyed the video, learned something from it, and have something positive to say about it please feel free share that :) Janie

jjgz4ever, I wasn’t bashing your time and creativity. This is the 1st video I’d seen of yours until I followed the link to your other videos. Please don’t bash me because I was simply explaining the different between the R.S. And other laminators. Trying to help a fellow crafter should be welcomed. I read every post on this video before commenting and I didn’t comment to upset you. I wasn’t trying to get anyone to purchase any items. I was only informing her of the price I paid for mine and what functions it had vs the other types just in case they were still interested in buying a heat laminator. It’s difficult to see what’s in a youtuber’s series if it was a recommended video. However, I did watch the 2nd video after this one and I enjoyed it greatly...the card was adorable! I wish I had seen the video before I sent out my card swaps. I didn’t use any foiling but I saved your video in my playlist so I can refer to it in the near future. I think using foil on my Easter cards would be awesome. I’d love to cover lil cardstock eggs with the foil. Anyhow, I didn’t mean to upset you but as of last night I became a sub! TFS

[@janiethecraftprincess]

My sincerest appologies. It just felt like you and the other person thought I had no idea what I was doing and that I needed to be educated. I have been using transfer foil for years before hearing about Deco Foil or MINC or any of that and had figured out many ways to use it. There was no way I was going to by a MINC machine and discovered that there are many others that feel the same way.....even about a laminator.....because having to purchase extra equipment makes things more expensive. So because of many requests I started making these videos. Therm O Web is quite aware of them and has never suggested a certain laminator, and I have read their packaging which also does not mentioned a certain laminator. I understand now that you explained that your comment was actually to the other person and not to me. I'm sorry I took it wrong. Personally I have so many craft machines and products....more than most people can imagine....but I just don't buy things I don't need if something else I have is working just fine. Not to bore you but here is a story of about people thinking I was doing something wrong and told me it couldn't be done. I have been on deisgn teams that use digis (digital images) that had to be colored, and I had been printing them with my inkjet printer onto 110 lb cardstock that I buy by the ream from Staples, and coloring them Spectrum Noir alcohol ink markers....I had no problems. Then everyone, including my neice who had seen my work, informs me that you have to use a laser printer or the ink will smear. Even when I said I had been doing it the other way they said "Oh no that won't work". It blew me away because it had been working for me. One day I was at Scrapbook Expo taking a Copic coloring class, the lady told everyone the same thing.....so I told her my experience and she smiled and said "yes it will work the way you are doing it, you just need to wait for the ink to dry"....and she actually let the class know that then. Later I found it also works for me because I have a Canon printer and Canon's black ink is different than other printers and works for coloring. So according to everyone else, it couldn't be done,,,,,I was doing it wrong....but it worked beautifully for me. So sometimes people hear that something is suppose to be done one way and so they believe that is the ONLY way to do it.....but it's not. So with that story being shared with you, it might shed a little light on my defensiveness when I thought you were trying to tell me I was doing it wrong and had to do it with a certain machine. So thank you for explaining your intensions and thank you so much for watching my other videos and for subscribing. Have fun playing with your Deco Foil :) Hugs...Janie

Thanks for stopping by 😊 If you enjoy foiling, I have a playlist with some of my foiling videos in it, inlcuding videos that show techniques that don't require any machine.....no laser printer, no iron, no laminator, no toner sheets.....not like this video 😊 Hugs....Janie

[@vestamcdonald7238]

So sorry that you took my comment about the laminator the wrong way. I truly enjoyed your video and appreciated seeing other methods. I thought I was being helpful by pointing to a low priced laminator that I have found works well. I certainly did not mean to set off any negative discussion. I will try to be clearer in any future comments. I am planning to try a glue pad and Scor-tape to apply foil. Thanks for your video.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Thank you for explaining. It appears from your explanation that you thought you were doing me a favor and didn't realize I already have a laminator and the purpose (as the title says) was show ways to use transfer foil without a machine. That was very thoughtful of you, but my viewers had asked me to show ways to craft that don't require special tools because a lot of them are beginners or can't afford craft tools even if they seem inexpensive to some of us. I pretty much have craft tools for every need I might I have....but I even try to show card folds that can be done without a scoring board even though I think everyone should have one I realize that everyone doesn't. I like showing ways of upcycling to save money, and I usually don't walk people through the decorating process because I don't want them to feel they need everything I have, I want then to use what THEY have. It's just who I am....and who most of my viewers are...and I do my best to not scare them off with things they don't have. I hope you understand....just as I understand that you thought you were being helpful. Thank you so much for watching my video and I hope you have fun trying some of these techniques :) Hugs...Janie

P.S. I hope you watch my other video.....7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine as it is full of ideas that might interest you. I also have a video on How To Apply Deco Foil To Fabric (Washable).

[@gloriabennett6585]

Will this work with an inkject printer? If not, then it won't help a lot of us. But good video.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Gloria I'm sorry but this will not work with an ink jet printer.....and I'm not the one that created this way to apply transfer foil, I'm just the one that is sharing ways to use it without having to use a MINC machine. HOWEVER....those pre-printed Foil Mates sheets I showed in the video will work for you because they are already printed and ready to use. OR....you can always go to your nearest stationary store, Staples, Office Depot, etc. and they will print as many pages of images as you want for about 69 cents (or less) a page....then you can just keep them on hand for when you need them. So when you say this video won't be of any help...you're wrong....you do not need to have a laser printer. ALSO....I have another video called 7 Ways To Apply Transfer Foil To Crafts Without A Machine.....none of the ways I show in that video require a laser printer, so you may be interested in that. Links are above for Foil Mates.....and if you prefer Amazon, they have them for $7.86 for a pack of 12 pre-printed sheets....give it a try :) Hugs...Janie

No this will not work with an inkjet printer.., laser printers only will work. If you don't have a laser printer, you can go to a print place and ask to them to laser print your images. Be sure to ask that the images be printed with laser printer.

I used Crafter's Companion deco foil with zero luck with a new laminator I bought. It leaves foil all over the piece of card.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Elly Davis I have never used that brand of transfer foil… I have the best luck with Deco Foil or any brand made by Thermoweb. However I have never heard of anything like that happening because the foil does not come off unless it has something to adhere to such as a tacky adhesive or double-sided tape or a laser printed image… Other than that the foil does not come off… So that is mind boggling for me. But I highly suggest using Deco Foil or Gina K Designs....Both are made by Thermoweb :) Hugs...Janie

[@kellieklupfel1612]

These are pretty hit and miss with the quality of foiling.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Kellie KLupfel it all depends on if you are using an iron or a laminator… And the iron I was using has issues but you also have to just keep ironing until you get all of the foil onto your image… If you do not like ironing use the laminator… If you do not want to buy a laminator watch my other video on seven ways to apply transfer foil without a machine… Thank you for watching :) Hugs...Janie

[@ellydavis2066]

The title says 'without a machine' then you proceed to do all the foiling with a machine.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Elly Davis actually I am showing that you do not need a laser printer because they sell the pre-printed cards to use and I am also showing that you do not need a laminator because you can use your iron… If you want to call an iron a machine please feel free to do so but most people own one and so it is not a craft machine that you have to go out and purchase. So that is the “without a machine” part ...no laser printer and no laminator or Minc foiling machine. Maybe you should watch my first video on seven ways to apply transfer foil to your crafts without a machine… But beware I do use my Cuttlebug to cut out images but please feel free to use your scissors or tear it by hand if you don’t want to use anything at all.

[@ellydavis2066]

So 2 ways to do it 1 of which is a machine. Title is misleading but feel free to get yourself worked up instead of just changing it to better reflect the content of the video.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Elly Davis sweetie I’m not worked up...I honestly don’t let comments like this get to me. I showed how to do it without a machine and within the first minute of the video I said I would be showing several ways to use transfer foil INCLUDING a way to do it without a machine....and a couple minutes later I show what I will be using. So if you didn’t like that info you had the choice to stop watching...no one forced you to watch. But my title reflects what my video is about. Sorry it bothers you so much that you felt the need to leave your comments but that is something I guess you need to get over and move on. Have a good day :)

[@ellydavis2066]

Just giving you some feedback, that's par for the course in a comment system on YT. Sorry that bothers you so much. Of course you're free to not take it on board.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

@@ellydavis2066 LOL I finally figured you out.....you keep accusing me of being "worked up" or that it "bothers" me and I realized that is your goal and that is why you keep accusing me of feeling that way even when I say comments like yours don't get to me. Well I'm so sorry to disappoint you but you have failed miserably...LOL I take comments like yours with a grain of salt. With over 41,000 views and over 100 comments, yours is the second or third one that commented about "machines"....and you guys are too ignorant to enjoy the part without machines or are just so bored that you like to try to stir things up because it makes you feel good. The truth is I'm loving all these comments from you becase the more comments I get the better it is for my video.....so feel free to comment all you want. And if it makes you feel better to imagine me all worked up or bothered then just keep believing it and have a good day....LOL :)
