Hi after seeing this vid I decided to DIY my invites however, my foil wont transfer. I think it might be my card stock. Is there a specific card stock you suggest?
Need Help! Hi! My weddng will be on MAY this year. And i saw ur vid and its truly inspres me alot. but i've read many commnts rgrding foil etc. So, madam may i knw what knd of gold foil do u use,and also the printer. i mean do i really hve to look for a specfc prnter for my DIY invtes. and lastly what kind of card do i hve to use to achve that kind of invtes or any card will do? Thank you in advnce.
It depends on the printer (how it outputs colour and if it leaves toner residue that foil will stick to) and also the artwork colour properties. In order for foil to only stick to the black toner the coloured artwork will need to have all black removed. Laser printers print CMYK colour (Cyan, magenta, yellow and K (black)). You would need to go into the properties of all the colours and make sure ‘k’ (black) is 0.
Foil is made to stick to 100% k black laser toner so if your background image has any 100% k black values making up the image, the foil will stick to it. This is tricky because some colours are made up using black (like purple for instance). You would need to go through each colour and remove the black.
Does it work when your print it on ink jet Printer? Coz i have lots of foil. And i want to use it but i only have ink jet. Not laser jet printer. Thanks
wow I'm so impressed! it looks so beautiful and professional!
Great video! Was wondering what kind of laser printer you would recommend for at home foil crafting/card making?

make sure the shiny part of the foil is faced the opposite way, so not touching the text. It also needs to be printed from a Laser printer to work.
Im having the same problem!! But i am using a scotch laminator..
Would it be better if u maker 2 invites. In just one paper
What glue do you use?
Amazing Tutorial!
I was a bit confused - how does the gold foil stick to the text?
+Muslimah4ever1000 The foil reacts to the toner so when heat is applied the foil sticks.
Ah i see, thank you for explaining!
Did you use a color leaser printer

Do you know if can I get the same result printing on a dark color, like navy, purple, charcoal or even black?

Hi what kind of printer you used on the invitation? Thanks!
what paper did u use to print the invitation?
Hello! I absolutely love you work! It's too bad your booked! I might try to do me own, but I cannot find your template file download!
Where i can get that template that is ready for printing?
I have a colored floral border and a black border together - can I only foil the black without it foiling the colored floral? (laser printed)
To be clearer - they overlap

Eternal Stationery thank you so much! This was super helpful!
If you have a background printed will the foil stick to it as well? Will it only stick to black only?
Foil is made to stick to 100% k black laser toner so if your background image has any 100% k black values making up the image, the foil will stick to it.

Hi! What kind of glue are you using?
+Jessie F Helmar 450 quick dry adhesive.
Sorry, i am from indonesia. What is that mecine ? Its like same with mecine laminating ?
It is the Heidi swapp minc
how does the foil just stics to the letters and not the surrounding area?
The foil sticks only to black laser toner that is heated through a heat applicator like the Minc.
Eternal Stationery okay. ThAnkyou 😊
Hi what kind of paper you used here that works both foiling and laser printer?
Paper that has a very smooth finish (no texture)
Does it work when your print it on ink jet Printer? Coz i have lots of foil. And i want to use it but i only have ink jet. Not laser jet printer. Thanks
Heat reactive transfer foil only sticks to 100% black toner from a laser printer. Unfortunately a ink jet printer would not work.
