[@chrisarlington1792]

I'm so thankful for creative tips from people like you

[@Yana.Smakula]

Yay! I'm glad!

[@vickierumbers4324]

What a fantastic tutorial! This was a Workshop on Hot Foil Techniques! Thank you for sharing all of these tips! New subscriber!

[@pamelaancar3675]

Thanks for all the tips, they're wonderful and your foiling is beautiful.

[@JenaTuckerAquariums]

I know this is 2 years old, but I want to thank you for sharing your experience with us. I just got the glimmer foil system. I am confident about using it because of you!! Now if I can just find the time to play with it😂

[@reba86442]

Your work is so beautiful. Love all the tips

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you so much!

[@Kayd2111]

Mine’s over-foiling everything, but the sand eraser has done the trick! These were beautiful!!

[@elizabethk8938]

Beautiful cards and great tips on foiling! Thank you!!!!

[@bluebutterfly03]

I've only just got my glimmer machine, I'm so sad that these floral plates are no longer available! They are stunning and you have used them so creatively 💗

[@JennyColacicco]

this was the best card video I've seen in ages - so so useful - the hinge technique flipping the foiling around really has helped - thank you!!!

[@Yana.Smakula]

aww, thank you, Jenny :) I had a TON of fun with my Glimmer!

[@stephanieclapper6]

I’ve just begun to get into Spellbinders. I joined the Small Die Kit of the month and I’m finding that lately, I’m leaning towards stand alone dies. The reason for that is because more and more, designers are using different mediums besides stamping. I’m not proficient in watercolors or marker coloring, along with the investment . Purchasing both a stamp set & coordinating dies can be costly too, so I’m being more choosy. I absolutely LOVE your work Yana. Before I invest in a Glimmer machine, I want to be sure it’s user friendly. This is a very helpful video and I’m going to watch your 1st video using the Hot Foil system. Sorry this was long but maybe feedback is good for crafting companies too. Thx again!

[@jadhikari0]

Omg 😮 these are so gorgeous Yana. The more I try not buying the glimmer machine the more you make me want to buy by coming up with great tips and tricks. I love your creativity.❤️

[@Yana.Smakula]

thank you, Jyoti! I was on the fence about this machine last year and didn't think I'd need it/love it. But as the time goes by (and as new and new plate designs are released) I can't help but love it! In fact, I just finished filming another video with foil plates and doing some ombre foiling.

[@constancehollenbeck8528]

Lovely creations, Yana! I don't have this system but lots of good information to help those who do, and hopefully for me in the future. Wonderful work!

[@louisehorner]

Thank you for your experimentation. This video has been SUPER helpful, and I consider it to fit in the category of card maker’s community service! We are blessed to have your skill and talent in our Crafty world.

[@seagreentangerine2065]

Mind blowing and utterly professional techniques💖👌🏻💖. That's the look most modern card makers want, they want it to look as clean as if it was bought, but unique. Now I know it's a hot foiling machine that's been missing in my life!!!

[@jennyk6598]

Yana- Thank you for the video! Lots of the tips I hadn't thought of. I have the Gemini system because I can no longer manually die cut due to my disability. I never thought to use the washi tape as a hinge on my die. This is really going to be a game changer for me. I've screwed up so many of my pieces because things moved etc.when I put things down. I appreciate all the work you put into making your cards & videos. I also enjoyed the water color resist video. I have that same plate and plan on doing several of them with bristol smooth cardstock so I can use watercolor pens while at my son's lacrosse tournaments the next couple of weekends! Thanks again!

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

Oooo.. Paul Antonio is one of my favorite calligraphers. Will need to get some of these plates. Love these techniques - so helpful!

[@Yana.Smakula]

his work is so inspiring. He has several fantastic Christmas plates coming this year, as well. VERY beautiful!

[@msladyd001]

I normally don’t make comments on videos, but this was one of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing these tips! They will really help a novice like me. 😌

[@WendyColeArt]

Your videos keep me trying to master my machine, sometimes I just want to give up as it's so tedious for me so far. I love the look so thanks for the encouragement that it can be done with enough practice though I don't think my fingers will ever be as nimble as yours.

[@kristinathompson4587]

Wow! Thank you for sharing this information. I especially like the tip about the washy tape to hold the plate and foil for a more precise application.♥️

[@Yana.Smakula]

Glad it was helpful!

[@StephanieDiehl]

Absolutely brilliant tips, thanks!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you 💙 💛

[@cornelcrafts]

I so appreciate your tips as I was frustrated with the foiling and dies becoming crooked. Trial and error of course. I am so glad you put this together. Thank you!

[@traceybartlam5940]

Great video. So many clever ideas and techniques. Very informative. I love this glimmer system

[@Yana.Smakula]

thank you, Tracey!

[@traceybartlam5940]

I don’t have it, just love what it does!! Maybe one day 😂

[@danielapagliaro8025]

[@jjarvis1227]

Thanks for sharing all these tips! Essential info for foiling! Stunning ♥️

[@anikamercier2651]

Such great tips and truly beautiful cards!

[@judyhartmann3071]

Beautiful cards! Lots of inspiration to get me using my machine! I just don’t have a lot of the hot foil glimmer dies yet. But I will be checking out the website! Thank you for the tips! It is a little intimidating at first.

[@CouzCat]

Beautiful & a great collection of tips. TFS!

[@silvipeppers]

oh my god, i can't believe!! how absolutely gorgeous and elegant these cards are!! yana!!! you're so creative, you're a huge inspiration

[@Yana.Smakula]

awwww, thank you, Silvi! Glimmer is my new obsession :)

[@suetownsend1932]

This is definitely a video I'll save and watch a few times. Thank you for so many ideas, tips, techniques all in one video!! Gorgeous cards.

[@spellbinders]

Fantastic tips, thank you for sharing with us, Yana!

[@sinkit444]

YOU are AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing these tips - they work wonders! I was hesitant on using the hot foil machine because of the uncertainty of placements since you have to flip it, but using the washi tapes to ensure that the plates do not move is ingenious. Hope you are doing well, Yana!

[@CraftsandTrueCrimeTracy]

Stunning cards as usual! 👏👏👏 And great tips/tutorial! Thank you!

[@Yana.Smakula]

thank you, Tracy! So glad you like them!

[@lisad.3247]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful tips! They are genius and so helpful. I can hardly wait to try them. I enjoy all your videos and always learn something new.

[@TanyaBoser]

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful tips, they are going to help a lot!

[@Yana.Smakula]

yay! I'm so glad!

[@angelinamacintosh5796]

Hi Yana! Thanks so much for sharing. This was such a super creative way to foil. I love the partial foiling idea like the partial stamping and the masking because I am always in awe of that and have never tried yet. I was hoping that you could look to do a tutorial sharing how you take and stage your photos as they are always so breathtaking. Also would love if you could do a masculine card series. Have a brilliant day and happy crafting!!!

[@cdaitch]

Thank you so much for this video. I just got my Glimmer and I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my June kit.... these cards are STUNNING and your hinge washi tape idea is GENIUS!

[@Yana.Smakula]

so glad it was helpful, Candi! hope your kit arrives soon :)

[@AnotherJoUK]

Great tips and inspiration - Thank you

[@caroldubois6183]

Very nice. Thank you for all the tips.

[@TheLitlrascul]

[@Yana.Smakula]

awww, thank you, Delia! I'm so into Glimmer these days, cannot stop foiling

[@adriannefane-hervey2318]

fabulous and very useful tips thank you so much

[@Tessiefaye]

I love this tutorial, it was very informative. Thank you, Yana.

[@craftyana6503]

Thanks for sharing these beautiful cards and tips! I always wondered about foiling over another foiled area. ❤️

[@bbuunnyycc]

Very valuable tips that I will definitely try. Thank you.

[@janegotelli7152]

Fantastic video. I don’t do as much fouling as I would like because I had difficulty placing the dies where I wanted them. I didn’t think I could use tape with the heat. This is just what I needed. I am going to set everything up to foil and foil like crazy tomorrow. Thank you so much. So happy I have this Spellbinder glimmer set because I would be very jealous after seeing this video if I didn’t have them. Thank you so much. Can you tell I am excited?

[@Yana.Smakula]

yay! So glad you enjoyed it, Jane! I've been foiling all weekend long and even some more today :) So excited I discovered these tips - can't put my Glimmer down!

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Wow, gorgeous cards and thank you for the tips and tricks that you shared!

[@junglebarrya]

Awesome video! Those tips will be so helpful!

[@Yana.Smakula]

thanks, Jung! I finally had the time to play with my machine like I should have a LONG time ago :) Now I simply cannot stop foiling!

[@caroled3309]

[@julesl1436]

Wow, so pretty. Amazing.

[@yoryinacreations]

Wow 😲 beautiful thanks for the tips

[@victoriasmith5771]

O my goodness! so beautiful!!

[@handmadebymirella]

Stunning cards! I don’t have that system, but these cards are truly an encouragement to get one ;-)

[@Yana.Smakula]

thank you, Mirella! Glad you like them. I was very skeptical about this system last year, but I now love it :)

[@handmadebymirella]

Yana Smakula the only problem with it is that it requires so many new goodies to invest in - the system itself, the foils, the new dies... that’s another deep well of expenses ;-)

[@Yana.Smakula]

all very valid points :) as with any new hobby - there's always the expense side of it.

[@handmadebymirella]

Yana Smakula hahaha why has nobody warned me how expensive this hobby is 😂😂😂

[@TheKaydie]

I do appreciate all your tips, can you let me know where I can find those flower plates and dies. Would like to make some cards as they are so pretty.

[@ritzyhag2921]

Awesome tips, Yana!

[@Bee-2bee]

This is just beautiful!! TFS

[@mikeywilkens3478]

How do you get the clear drops you mentioned? Thanks for a great demonstration.

[@suebusch7599]

Thanks for all the tips and tricks. Awesome cards and foiling. Do you have a low tack tape or washi tape that you prefer? Love the hinge method! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@mgibbs7124]

Beautiful

[@cutflower36]

that is so pretty! is that the same foil that can be used with the foil quil?

[@joanb7577]

Yana!!!! Such great tips. I really want the spellbinders glimmer system, but i have a gemini junior. do you know if they are compatible?

[@Yana.Smakula]

Thank you, Joan! Unfortunately, it is not. It is only compatible with Spellbinders Platinum, Platinum 6 Deep Sea Die Cutting and Embossing Machine Sizzix BigShot Sizzix BigKick Sizzix Big Shot Plus Sizzix Big Shot Express Tim Holtz Vagabond We R Memory Keepers Evolution RG Amaze Craftwell eBosser

[@joanb7577]

@@Yana.Smakula thanks for letting me know!

[@annetterose5324]

It’s really hard for me to pull the plate from the machine. I’ve tried using both hands, steadying it with one hand but honestly it seems unusually hard to pry off. Any tips?

[@yleniaverza9784]

Bellissime card...dove posso trovare la placca dei fiori?Grazie

[@DettolObsessed]

Hi Yana. I have been out of the crafting world for a year or so while all of these new technologies rained in. I wanted to ask, for this foiling system, from what I understood, it's possible to use die cuts with it right? You don't have to end up buying dedicated foiling plates only? And also, can I use my stamps with it? (weird question I know but curious).

[@anneburtch4716]

Thank you, very informative. now to try to imitate.

[@dimanthijayasingha7473]

Can we use normal dies to foil machine? Or only spelbinders dies?

[@ninguyen6181]

omg im looking for this kind of tool kit. could u let me know where can I purchase this online ?

[@d.bailey2436]

Can this foil machine be used with the Cuttlebug machine

[@bonniemiller1819]

What is the name of the flower foil plates called. Could not find then in description.

[@ruth6511]

I cannot find those florals anywhere on Spellbinders. None of the links take me to it. Can you tell me their correct product name? Thank you. New to foiling!

[@Yana.Smakula]

Sorry, Ruth. They have been discontinued and are no longer available.

[@euvid1]

what size Washi Tape do you use? Thanks

[@marajade8754]

If I don’t have a spellbinders die cutting machine and have Sizzix, can I buy the glimmer hot foil machine and use it in a Sizzix?

[@spellbinders]

Yes you can. Just make sure your machine is listed below. Glimmer is Compatible With: Spellbinders Platinum, Platinum 6 Deep Sea Die Cutting and Embossing Machine Sizzix BigShot Sizzix BigKick Sizzix Big Shot Plus Sizzix Big Shot Express Tim Holtz Vagabond We R Memory Keepers Evolution RG Amaze Craftwell eBosser
