I never would have thought this would work. I never bought this machine because the thought of purchasing a bunch of new dies irritates me. Now I can use the embossing folders... wow. Now I feel better about purchasing this machine.
Couture Creations Go Press and Foil, does letterpress and hotfoil in one. You use their plates for both, and any other companies'. You can also use your thin dies with a metal adaptor plate. You can get almost new ones secondhand for less than the cost of just one of the other single use machines.
Thank you ❤ this worked well with Acetate. I used the Spellbinders sparkling snow 3D embossing folder. And I used just the thicker glimmer plate as the embossing folder is thick and a thin shim cardstock. And since it's acetate it worked fine. I had a bit of an overfoil but I can cover it up. I was very scared to try at first so put a thin copy paper on glimmer platform.
Pia, this is a game changer! I have so many plastic embossing folders that I don’t use anymore, I don’t mind if any of them get ruined by the heat. Also, about 15 years ago when Spellbinders first started up they did an embossing plate that was a thin metal that you ran through your embossing machine. I had a Cuddlebug machine at that time, and they did a wonderful job of embossing the paper. Everybody got rid of theirs when the plastic folders came out, but I kept mine. So glad I did! I’m going to try this technique with my old, thin metal embossing dies fromSpellbinders.
A friend mentioned these to me and she's had good results... think they are called Impressabilities. I tried one with not good results but will try again!
Your video just popped up in my feed and I can’t wait to try this with MY machine and different sandwiches !! I was VERY impressed with how they turned out…. Thank you for sharing all your tips and the results ❤ Nancy Rolfe P.S. I also subscribed
I just ordered my machine...can't wait to get it so was looking at videos...wow...I cant believe you were brave enough to try this I would have thought it would melt the folder...but I'm glad you were cause this is awesome! Thank you! Love this idea!
Thank you so much for this video. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time in terms of subject matter, pace, and explanation! Really enjoyed it!
Just got my machine. So I'm trolling You Tube for info. So glad I found your videos. Loved how you tried it with embossing folders. More things to try!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing technique!! Oh my goodness, I never would have thought to try embossing folders with the foil system. Thank you for sharing this, I’m excited to try it.
Wow! Wonderful results from using EF....which as others have said, I would never have thought to use! Thank you for being curious and enlightening all of us!
I have several cards on my blog where I use the negative foil... printer paper on heat platform (so not to get the grid design from platform)...negative foil...card front...then build your sandwich a bit more.
Thank you Patty :) Yes, I do have several other Hot Foil videos. If you go to my YT channel, then I have a Playlist for Glimmer Hot Foil. Some of the videos are with Danish voiceovers, so just skip over those. Almost all my videos are made in an English voiceover version and a Danish voiceover version.
Hi Mary :) I am still working on solving this matter. But the moment I’ve found the perfekt solution, I will make sure to make a How-to-video :) And thank you for asking 😄
@@PiaKroghLarsen Just bought my Spell Binders Hot foiling system yesterday. There is a flat foiling plate from Pinkfresh that you can use for the negative foil so it is not wasted. I watched it on Jennifer McGuire Ink so when I bought the foiling system I purchased that plate as well. But now I am wondering if I could have used a thin plate metal plate from the hardware store. Darn should have thought of that sooner! I am so thankful for your video so I don't have to invest in hot foiling plates for backgrounds. This is a game changer and money saver for me!!
Hi Holly, I am not so sure this technique will work with 3D embossing folders. Reason is that the pattern in 3D is on several levels, whereas it needs to be 2D for the impression on the foil to be good. But I cannot be a 100% sure. Why don't you give it a go and test it out :) If you do, please let me know how it went :)
Hi Bunnie, you can use all colours of wafer thin dies for hot foiling. They do not have to be gold to work with Hot Foiling :) I have already made a couple of videos showing the use of wafer thin dies with the Glimmer Hot Foil System. You can find them in my Playlist for "Glimmer Hot Foil System". Just make sure to choose the video with English voiceover :)
Wow, who knew you could put a plastic embossing folder in a glimmer. Beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous ❤
I finally got this system and I'm so excited to know I can try embossing folders too as I have a LOT of them. Thank you!

That is amazing. I would have thought the heat would be bad for the plastic embossing folders, so I would have been too chicken to test it out. Kudos!
Great tips!! Finally, I can use my embossing folders also. I will try it out, thanks.
Wow! I would never have thought of using my embossing folders like this! Absolutely fantastic video 😀
Awesome!
Who knew about all these alternatives. Thanks for showing us how to create with the foiling machine

Oh wow.... THANK YOU. For sharing this test. It is brilliant thinking I guess! 👌
WOW ! I just got my Glimmer can hardly wait to test my dies and now folders. Thank God for creative minds like yours.
I just ordered my machine...can't wait to get it so was looking at videos...wow...I cant believe you were brave enough to try this I would have thought it would melt the folder...but I'm glad you were cause this is awesome! Thank you! Love this idea!
What a great idea. Pinkfresh has just brought out a flat plate for beautiful results with the negative foiling.
I know 😁👍🏻 It has finally arrived on the Danish market and I ordered it yesterday 😁
Thank you. I would never have thought of this technique. Wow!
I have so enjoyed these videos... thank you
Glad you like my videos!

Use the negative with a blank toner sheet or a page with embossing ink on it 😎. Great video!
Amazing technique!! Oh my goodness, I never would have thought to try embossing folders with the foil system. Thank you for sharing this, I’m excited to try it.
Thank you for this idea! I never would have thought to try this, but it worked beautifully.
Thank you for this tutorial!!!
How does the foil turn out if you sandwich the paper between the folder, so you are using both front and back?
They turned out great Pia TFS sweetie 😉👍💝💐
Thanks to you too, sweetie :D
How is it that the heat doesn't affect the embossing folder? Amazing.
WOW! This is awesome! I would not have ever thought to use my embossing folders in this way!!!! Thank you so much for sharing 💕
Jaw dropping! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
Wow! Wonderful results from using EF....which as others have said, I would never have thought to use! Thank you for being curious and enlightening all of us!
Such a great way to get more use out of embossing folders
Yes, indeed it is Tracey :D
Ty so much ❤❤❤ love it
You got really good results, your video was very well put together. Thank you so much
Really good videos. very clear and concise . Great to see how embossing folders can have another use. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and you are most welcome 😁

You are so welcome Mickee. So glad you liked it 😁
WoW! Je suis très impressionnée. Merci beaucoup pour cette superbe vidéo.
New subbie here! I love this technique! What a great idea you came up with! Thank you!
Wow Amazing 😮 love your video
I just found your channel!!! I have a lot of embossing folders and I do not use them much, but I will now!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great video. If you get the Pinkfresh studio full glimmer plate, you can use your left over foil. Jennifer Mcguire has a nice video on it.
Hi Brenda, Thanks for the tip! I actually already have the full glimmer plate from PFS. Just haven't made a video using it yet :)
mille mercis
Great tutorial, thank you for showing your process. This is absolutely going on my to do list, right on #1 👍
Genialt Pia 🙂🙂😍 Imponerende resultater synes jeg!!
Tak Anne-Mette :D
Brilliant!!
I have several cards on my blog where I use the negative foil... printer paper on heat platform (so not to get the grid design from platform)...negative foil...card front...then build your sandwich a bit more.
Ohhh, that I will have to try out. Thanks for the great tip, Laura :D
Wow, a great inspiration
I have the same votive holder
Finally someone used the big shot with the glimmer machine...thank you very much! Do you have any other tips or videos?
Thank you Patty :)

Thank you for teaching me a new trick! I am doing this with my sizzix poinsettia folder. Ty
Charlene, you are most welcome 😁
Thanks for sharing this technique! What type of white card stock are you using?
Inspiring! Please let me know about utilizing the negative space on the foil remnants, thank you 💝

Yes, another lady I follow did this too. Can’t remember her name tho. Cool!
They are beautiful. Thank you
Thanks Sue :D
Virkelig flot 😍
Wouldnt the heat from the glimmer machine melt the folder as it is made of plastic??
❤
Hello! Whats happen to the negative foil? Can we use? Thanks
Would this work with 3D folders???

wow, it is getting to be too much to remember, but fun I suppose.
Have your embossing folders warped?
I have not experienced any warping in my embossing folders.
Do you know if
Do you know if you have to use dies that are gold for hot foiling. I heard that silver works ok also
Hi Bunnie, you can use all colours of wafer thin dies for hot foiling. They do not have to be gold to work with Hot Foiling :) I have already made a couple of videos showing the use of wafer thin dies with the Glimmer Hot Foil System.
