Must-Try Hot Foil Techniques!

[@roslyngore5925]

My heartfelt thanks to you, Jennifer, for making me try hot foiling again. I bought my machine when they first became popular, with the intention of using it to make the majority of my Christmas cards that year. I got the machine company's foils in as many colours as I saw and proceeded to do the foiling.....what a disappointment and I was frantic to find out what 'I must be doing wrong' by contacting the company to get their help. Their answer was that they didn't get the incomplete and partial foiling I was getting so they couldn't help with whatever my problem was, and that was that! I ended up putting that machine and foils away, although I continued to by their new coloured foils when I saw them, as they were so pretty, and added them to my box. After watching you foiling without the errors, I was thinking it definitely 'must be me' and didn't try again then as I didn't know what I could do differently from what you were doing. I happened to be scrolling through some tutorials at random, when I saw a lady who was previewing different foils, so I watched her. It was here that I discovered 'foils aren't the same quality' and don't work the same. She basically 'called out' some brands as being useless and not worth buying. What a revelation to me! I tried my foils, with the same result, then tried the glimmer foils, yes, I had started acquiring them, thanks to your success with them, although I hadn't thought to give them a go before, and they worked!!!! I guess I shouldn't say the many rolls of foil I bought were a total waste of money as I gave them to a friend who is trying to find a way to make them work, but the process was pretty soul destroying for me while I couldn't make them work. I can now hot foil with ease and do so when I can and enjoy the results. Thank you for this and the many other tips and hacks you have shown us, you are very generous and so talented

I appreciate you taking your time sharing with us your skills and knowledge. 😊

Foiling is another pretty good chunk of money. Seeing more ideas on how we can use it in different ways is very useful for many of us. I do not think you should feel sorry for making as many foil videos as you can. KZbin is for variety. If someone doesn’t want to see another foil video, they can move on and chose not to watch. But we can not make a foil video out of no where. There is always new products out there, we are all adults. We know videos are for learning and seeing new ideas. No one needs to buy everything they see in any video. I am constantly reminding myself, hey, I actually have a set similar to that one I could try right now. Even better, is making yourself a challenge while watching new videos, a challenge to go find a similar stamp set that would work to make similar design/technique that I have just seen in the video. Either way, your videos give us all so much inspiration, please do not feel bad for all that you do, no matter how long any video is. It is us who should be always thanking you for your time and high quality creative work you share with us.

Don't stop demonstrating the hot foil. I love it!

[@cisvolk]

Taping the sentiments to a panel, making a frame for the hotfoil machine and double foiling 👏awesome tips. Thanks for your video Jennifer.

[@maggieyager1840]

Beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas.

[@sandieduggan5613]

I am getting the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System as a belated Mothers Day gift. You have given me lots of tips and tricks and I can hardly wait to try them! Thank you for the great informative video!

[@lindalincks6187]

Oh my word!! Foil on foil on foil!!😍😍😍 These techniques are awesome 👏. Putting that frame around the heating pad is genius! I need all the help I can get to line things up. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!! I appreciate it so very much! 🤗

[@mariettlinger8965]

Wow, I think this is my favorite video ever! The cards are sooo beautiful. I'm just beginning to use Glimmer plates, and I love them. Your tips about hinges and the frame solved a lot of my problems. Thank you, can't wait to try these fabulous ideas! You are the Queen of Cards!

[@katkards456]

Gorgeous cards, Jennifer. Got my Glimmer machine this past Christmas - along with Spellbinders Glimmer of the Month... so I am venturing into the deep end a bit. Love the Hot Foil Videos! Appreciated.

[@judystophel1904]

You should know by now, anything you do is fantastic to us. Keep doing what you do, you are great! As always, great cards.

[@jennifermcguireink]

i SO appreciate this comment. thank you. :)

[@TheKaydie]

Great cards and new techniques for me. Please don't stop doing foil videos. Foiling is so much fun and so pretty..

[@ankesart2515]

Wonderful assortment of foiling techniques. Thanks for putting these together. Your cards look awesome. 💙💙💙

[@juliedet8121]

I love that you do a lot of foiling cards. They are innovative and beautiful and Inspire me to use up my foil.

[@sk8lady]

Hello from sunny AZ. These techniques are invaluable! I’m new to the Spellbinders Glimmer hot foil machine so this was a step by step tutorial for me….much appreciated! I also joined the Spellbinders die of the month club. I love to embroider so why not transfer that skill to my card making? Thank you for all your videos….you are a number of steps above the rest when it comes to technique! 😎

[@barbborja1910]

Love, love, love… LOVE! Amazing inspiration, Jennifer. Thank you.

[@PrideP8]

Ericka (below) says it all about your creativity, Jessica. I love it!!!!!

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Amazing ideas Jennifer. Oh my goodness. I had no idea you can foil on top of the foil, I’m so excited about that one! I love how you combined the regular foiling with reverse foiling. I just got the solid rectangle plate from Spellbinders, just to give it a try. But I can tell from your video here that I need the other shapes as well, & prob the large one from Pink Fresh. Again, amazing ideas! And the cards you made are beautiful, as always. Thank you so much for the time you spend to share so many ideas with us. You are so creative & talented, & I always learn from watching your videos. Thank you.

[@kareneaton433]

Rewatching and learning even more

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Wow wow wow.... Fantastic cards Jennifer. The one with the silver circle and blue foil peony layering... My absolute favorite!! Thank you for sharing all these tips and many options you have with foiling. Awesome!

[@lynellevanboening9078]

Beautiful cards. I just love the hot foiling especially the layering. I can't wait to try some of these. Thank you for taking the time (weeks) to make your videos well thought out and a great teaching tool.

[@maggieyager1840]

Beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.

[@cindycondie]

Things you taught me today (yes an old dog can learn new tricks!) The cut out rectangle template to center the foiling, layered foiling on a reverse image piece, and how to make everything gorgeous! Thank you soooo much, love your videos! And, it's fun to spot the new manicures and outfits! :)

[@kcinca5410]

I like how you used the frame to center your foil plates and how you use your leftover foil pieces. I agree about using the tape. I'm always accidentally shifting my dies, paper, and/or foil. I love the hex floral card! You're always inspiring.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I have a tip for you from Simon Hurley. Instead of scissors to cut your foil, use a round rolling cutter. No more jagged edges and so much easier to control! Love your cards!

[@sandyvisger9256]

I love foiling , those cards are beautiful 👌

[@cindyhenry1410]

Beautiful! So glad you were using SB products today.....I subscribe to the whole package club! I don’t have a foil machine but may get one in the future. TYFS ❤️🦋💜

[@jennifermcguireink]

Yay! Thank you!

[@erikabruccoleri6811]

Your creativity is unmatched, Jennifer! Thank you for always providing us with new ways to use our materials!!!

[@amandacaldwell3492]

Thank you for helping all of us! I constantly refer to your videos!

[@fehons]

OMG 😱 your talents never cease to amaze me. As usual I loved all your cards but your technique of reverse and layered foiling on the oval hello card was awesome. Can’t wait to give that a go. Thank you! x

[@louellastephens9046]

Your cards are beautiful! I am so glad that companies are coming out with the solid plates so that we can do the reverse foiling.

[@marcyb123123]

You are soooo helpful,sweet and genuine. There can’t be a crafter who doesn’t know you. God Bless you for your wonderful help.

[@debbiebrunssen8773]

Love your foiling videos and I go back to these often

[@lisagheno-cuevas6191]

Thank you, Jennifer, for showcasing a way to use all of the hot foil and have minimal waste! The cards you created with the Spellbinders plates look amazing!

[@marthahollowell1550]

Please do not stop the hot foil videos. I have learned so much and using all your techniques. You are so talented. Beautiful cards. Thank you for all the time you take to teach us how to create.TFS

[@beckybilson5934]

You continue to AMAZE me with your crafting skills! I was having so much trouble hot foiling sentiments. What an easy fix you provided us with. I can’t wait to try it. You solved a BIG PROBLEM for me. Craft on, Jennifer. You are INCREDIBLE!

[@monicaschalk4951]

You are so welcome!

[@tracya8007]

I just want to make sure you know that some of us really really love these foil videos!!! I sure hope you will do even more foiling! I am so excited you did this because I joined the foil club last month so I’m going to be getting this butterfly 🥹 so excited! Really needed this video today. Thank you so much for the video!

[@conswellajoycemoore8192]

Thank you! I love these card ideas and techniques. I am so excited to be getting my Spellbinder's Club kits this month. I am in love with the stitching dies and glimmer plates. Can't wait to get them in the mail this month!

[@dianehunter3034]

So many beautiful examples. I’m going to get more iridescent and holographic foil now. Happy Monday

[@MoonEyesDesign]

I am also excited about these products and glad to see videos on hot foiling techniques. The machine was an investment so I appreciate learning new ways to use the products!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

Yay...I love Spellbinders and these techniques are great.

[@veraserah]

I find that foiling is the gift that keeps on giving :) It's a higher price point to get started what with the machine and all, but once you've made the investment the payoff is enormous with all of these options. Bonus is that the more that people do it, the more products companies will design for us!

[@heidirees9647]

Absolutely beautiful cards Jennifer! Love the foiling techniques, great way to use up all your foil so nothing goes to waste! And I’m super crazy about stitching! It’s very therapeutic for me as well! Much love to you and appreciation for all the time and effort you put in to making these videos!

[@margarete6888]

Thank you for the foiling technique videos. I have the glimmer machine, but haven’t used it. Your videos make using it less intimidating!

[@sharoncarpenter4658]

You just gave me the best ah ha moment. I was having so much trouble positioning the plates and my paper. Everything was slipping around. Thank you❤️❤️❤️

[@LindaBaz]

[@pamelalanders2055]

Oh my goodness I love all these! I try to not go crazy with new releases, but there is so much here…I may actually have to get the Glimmer Kit this month…and the trick with the placement is just genius😍

[@tasst2674]

Love love love foil!!! Thank you!

[@candyclay01]

Amazing tricks-I learned s lot. Now to go Foil!

[@ValreeJean]

Sometimes when I see foiling technique videos, I’m tempted to skip; but I watch and always learn something. I think about other techniques to substitute for foiling, i.e. heat embossing, inking or stenciling. It’s not that difficult to get the same look (albeit minus that gorgeous shine!). I want to get in the foiling game but for now I have too many other products that wait in the wings. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@jennifermcguireink]

yay! that's the best way to be creative!!!!!!!

[@tonimcdaniel5388]

Amazing techniques. I have never done foiling with a hot foiling machine. Always seemed so intimidating. This is an amazing technique. I want try it. Thanks for your techniques and explanations. You make it seem less intimidating.

[@AnnetteSeletzky]

Jennifer, I had the same idea for the foil scraps! I even made a mosaic page of all the tiny scrap pieces in different colors and used it to make colorful sentiment die cuts. Thanks for all the inspiration. Your cards are so beautiful. I also appreciate that your videos are so well organized and full of helpful information. 😍

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

Loved 🥰 your cards. Adorable stitched cards too. Such great 😊 techniques too.
