Thanks for doing the demonstration. It’s people like you that help other craft people on a tight budget. Your daughter is adorable. She will be able to teach us new techniques soon. ❤️🤗
instablaster.
I love your relationship with your “assistant “💜🦋💕🌈
I've learned so much from this helpful video. And your assistant is very charming. :) Love that you are working on this together!
Thank you so much for doing this, I have been wanting to get a Minc, but just simply can not afford it on SSI. Twenty dollars I can manage to afford and for the small amount of cards I make and the even smaller amount of foiling I do, this is perfect for me. I just put it in my cart and will be ordering it over the weekend. Thanks.
I have Deco foil and didn't know how to use it. I want to THANK YOU for this informative video. I Love crafting so I bought the foil and didn't know how it works. 😂😂😂. THANK YOU AGAIN and your daughter is a GREAT assistant 💟
So glad I stumbled upon your video. Was clueless about this simple technique to create glitter on paper. ☺ Thanks much! 🤗
Love Lias help in this video, great tutorial Nancy. I’m set with a laminators, small and large Minc. Great tutorial Nancy, tfs
This great!!! I have a laminator and I was wondering about that. I love to hear your daughter as your assistant. That's so cute.
Great tutorial! Your assistant is wonderful. Thank you for sharing 💐👏🏻
Loved this video--thank you! Was planning on purchasing a Minc but read some bad reviews on it and decided not to spend the $-then saw your video. I will try this first, as we need a laminator anyway. So fun listening to your little girl, also-she is charming!
Just came across your video and it was SO helpful to this 'newbie' foiler!! I make a LOT of cards and not able to afford the Minc right now, so this will be perfect for me to start out with and pretty sure my 8 yr old granddaughter will find this crafting project 'pretty COOL' for her artwork as well!! Thanks for sharing...off to Amazon I go...LOL. Take care..
What a great little helper! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this. Love the mama babygirl duo❤ lots of gratitude n sunshine from the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
Awesome ...I just bought a 20$ laminator for foiling from Big W here in Australia..so all your tips are so helpful..
Now I just need to get brave enough to try it ..
I use the Swingline. I am not an avid foiler but it works so well for me.
I love your dusty dusty brush!! Great video
Lia is so helpful and knowledgeable 😘
I haven’t try foiling yet... this seems like a cheap way to go ☺️. Thank you for sharing...
You convinced me. Shall order this laminator.
Beautiful butterflies!!
Just stumbled onto this site after typing in "how to foil with a laminator". Great video and I really want to give this a go. TFS
Great video Nancy and Lia. I have an older Swingline laminator that works good but no where near as good as my mini MINC!
Thank you so much for demonstrating with a laminating machine 😃 helps me a lot I didn’t want to invest so much money into a machine I would be using seldom 😘
Thank You 🙏. I have an older miniature laminator . I’m going to try it.
This was so helpful, Willing to try it, love to use foil on my Cardmaking, would love to be in your group to learn more about foiling I’m a new subbie Thanks for sharing !!😀❤️😀
I have a Scotch but have not tried foiling with it yet. It is definitely on my to do list though. TFS
I already own a scotch laminator and want to play with foil without buying another machine. This video was VERY helpful
Depending on which Scotch laminator. Let it heat up for a minimum of 30+ minutes for best results. You might need to run it through twice. Use copy or parchment paper as your carrier.
I have a mini minc but I think I'll get a laminator for my bigger projects until I see a sale on big mama! 😁 tfs how well this swing line works!!!
Your daughter is so sweet. ❤ I bet my problems were dust spots. But I get better. Have a laminator, which Hass some settings. And slowly we start to get along.😊
This is great to know. Thank you!
i think its gorgeous
I have a anna griffin minc but after watching this youtube I had to purchase the laminator. Thanks for being an enabler. I love being an foiling snob lol
I have the Anna Griffin Minc, it's my favorite!
I bought a scotch laminator on sale from Walmart for $16 and it works great for foiling!
Yes, I have a 15+ year old Scotch laminator that works ok too. Just let it heat up for 30+ mins.
I have a scotch as well and definitely have not had to let it preheat for 30 min...10 minutes maybe and it foils just fine. I even used it with my homemade toner (toner powder and glue)
I have one also….but what printer are you guys using? I want to make sure I have one that prints well or that I can at least adjust settings in
I like the foiling.
You've saved me $60. I have a dusty laminator in my closet. Thanks.
Not all of them work. Some don't get hot enough or have enough pressure. Make sure you let it heat up for at least 30 mins.
I love this video. And your daughter is a sweet pea. 😊💛
Very interesting. Thank you for doing this. I love that butterfly print for testing. One because it's home printed rather than Factory printed, but also it has the Bold shapes and the fine lines. I wonder if you've tried maybe heating it up for a good 30 minutes and then tried the butterfly print, if there would be any difference in the foiling
Yes probably long heat and pass through twice. I will do it again on a live.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video… minc have only just come to New Zealand and they are $250 but I want to have a try… I already have a laminator so I’ll give this a go.. thanks
Let the laminator heat up at least 30 mins and you might have to pass it through twice.
You can use laminating sheets for sublimation on canvas!
i use this brand of laminator . It is a really good one !!!!!
Some laminator cannot be warmed for 30mn. I have one that turn off if not used after 20mn. I still use it for large pieces like A4 paper.
Your daughter made me smile the entire time, loved it! Great information, makes me feel better about buying a budget laminator to start. Where did you get your paper cutter? I've been struggling to find a good one.
Check my amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps
My $18 old scotch laminator foils well 😁👍. MUST let it heat up for 30 minutes before foiling.
Thank you so much Nancy. I loved it. I'm new to foiling so I picked up a lot of tips from you. I would ask, what is the name of the "pastry cutter" you are using to cut foil,. Seems like a good tool to have? Very best wishes Jo xx
Cricut rotary trimmer
You can add a shim, one of the rollers will be the heat roller the other will be the roller used just for the pressure, some times if you email the makers they share that info with you like mine did. :D then all you do is turn the foil so that it's facing the heat roller and place a shim behind the card you're foiling. So if the top roller is the heat roller then have the foil face up with the shim at the bottom behind the card, if it's bottom then face down the foil and have the back with the shim facing up. Also I've found through so much testing lol... that strangely enough tracing paper works best as a carrier sheet, it transfers the heat through better than regular paper or baking paper.
I prefer the minc. Nothing can match that.
This was great to find this since the great deal I got on a minc, recently, was a bust since it didn't end up working. Ugh.
FYI- I think you *meant* millimeter and not milliliter (which is a measurement of volume) but actually the laminating sheets come in 3 and 5 mils. Mils is a measurement for plastic sheeting and is not short for millimeter. Mm is the abbreviation for millimeter.
One mil is approximately 2.5 percent of a mm. So it is extremely thin, as you notice. Lol
You would need over 13 sheets of 3 mil (or more than 6 pouches thick) to equal the thickness of just one millimeter ( which is already rather small since you need over 25 mm to equal an inch). :)
I have this laminator, I always let it heat up for at least 30 minutes. Otherwise i don't always get good adhesion.
Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try. Question please, what's the name of the brush you were dusting with? Thanks
You can find it my amazon shop 3 for $10. Https://www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps
I have to say, your results with the Swingline aren't that much difference to mine using my Minc....and I paid almost AUD200 for the Minc!!! Thank you for your demonstration, that was very helpful. And thanks to your assistant too, she's adorable!
The swingline has to heat up for 30 minutes to get really hot. It's pretty close to the minc in results after it's been on awhile.
I'm so far on what's happening in FSC my internet was down 4 days
I missed you all!
Wow great video watching this November 20 2022 I’m a crafter with cards a total newbie to foiling question?
What did you stamp your Hello with and it totally just sticks to the letters??
Sending hugs from a 70 year old grandma in California 😘💖😀
No, that is a laser printer toner design it sticks to. It won't stick with inkjet printer.
Thank you both for showing a laminator can be used to foil. I don't have a laser printer, are there companies laser printed sentiments or sheets with butterflies can be purchased?
Yes, Unity Stamps sells some.
On craftycriita ‘s website are the art foil packets toner papers. It doesn’t say..I have foil but not any toner paper designs..
Yes they are meant for foiling with a minc or laminator
I'm wondering if I'm using the right foil medium, ive tried Gemini Foil Press multi surface rolls but on further reading about this,I need toner foil apparently or maybe I should get a Minc machine,I thought this was going to be easy, all these videos on TH-cam make it so
That is hot foil, it won't work properly. Move to toner or minc foil.
So is the paper you can use the foil on something special or can it be anything that’s embossed or can you use just a regular stamp pad? Sorry for all the questions but I’ve never seen this before and it looks amazing
I use Hamilco Smooth from my amazon shop. These are laser printed images. The foil sticks to the toner. It won't work on ink. Check out my foiling playlist.
Great tutorial Thank you. Can you tell me which laser printer you have? I’m looking to purchase one soon. Thank you in advance 🙂
Hi Jan, the brother mono printer in my smazaon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps
Hello from Illinois. My question is what is the cold laminating setting do?
Those are for the "sticky" laminating sheets. Basically it has glue inside and just needs to be pressed together to seal.
I have a Scotch laminator that I got from Walmart yrs ago, and I couldnt get mine to work well at all for foiling. I let it run for about an hour. I had a couple of card fronts that came in one of the Simon Says Stamp of the month kit that is for foiling, maybe that was just to old I did have it for quit a while. so I just bought a new one from Amazon the Royal Sovereign it was about $25 just got it yesterday it seems to work ok, I havent had the time to play much it. Had I waited a little longer I would have just purchased this one that you was using Nancy.
I also wanted to add that I bought some foil from H & H under your link, and I ordered some toner designs from Crafty Critta under your link too, and I saved both places in my favorites so I have quick access to them in the future. now since I saved them in my favorites when I purchase again will you still get some credit from it? I just want to make sure that when I do it helps you as well as me having fun.
Yes. Make sure you check back for discounts too.
Loved your video and your perfect assistant! I don't understand where you buy these images? So, you can't make your own images on a copy machine? I'd LOVE to try this, I was a teacher for 36 years and I own a laminating machine. Just don't understand how and where to get sentiments and images??
Thank you so much!
Yes you can download and make your own images as long as they are printed with a Laser/ toner printer. Inkjet will not work. You can also buy toner printed images from companies. We have free images in the Foiling Snobs Club on Facebook.
What about putting it through twice, just shifting up or down so the rollers hit a different spot?
Yes, letting it heat up longer and running it through twice would help
Thank u 4 this laminator foiling video. If I heard correctly no foiling machine, no foiling dies r needed 4 this technique. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Will dollar tree foiling paper work? Can any laminator work, from Wal-Mart?
Here is the newest video which answers your questions. th-cam.com/video/j_m1mCPweEI/w-d-xo.html
Neat stuff! If you laminate a few smaller things in the same pouch and then cut them apart, will all the sides be sealed? Also, do you have to use a laser printer yet to do the foiling? Do you think it might work with calligraphy ink? And where did you get your paper cutter? I love the size!
You have to use a laser printer so the foil sticks to the toner. Regular ink won't work. The Paper Trimmer is here: amzn.to/3KSaT2q
If you want to hand-letter or draw, there are toner pens that you can buy to create foil-able designs.
Thank you so much for this video! I was so excited to try this!! I bought a Scotch laminator for $30. (The one you used on the video is out of stock.) I tried the foiling, but it keeps leaving small specks of gold foil behind like a residue. Did you ever run into this problem with any of the foiling you've done?
I recommend thr Swingline or Amazon Basics Laminator. The cheaper Scotch doesn't work well. You can try running it through twice.
@@NancyStamps Thank you! They are both out of stock right now, but I’ll keep an eye out for them. Really appreciate your help!! 😁👍🏽
I have never foiled, so I know nothing about it. Where do I find sheets with print on it that will stick to the foil? I have a laser printer. Thanks so much for sharing.
Join our Facebook group and you can print them from your laser printer and foil them. Foiling snobs club
Hello from Illinois. Another question, have you reviewed the Scotch laminator or have you compared different laminators?
Hi Suzy, I have older videos using my Scotch. Look for 3ml and 5ml settings.
th-cam.com/video/CjOSa3ekx4Q/w-d-xo.html
@@NancyStamps thanks, I now recall this one. The outside housing looks different so though it was a different unit. Your the best.
So once you have some thing laminated do you use scissors to cut it to the shape you want or do you use your paper cutter?
It's not laminated. Yes, cut down to the size you want.
I purchased a glimmer stamp and die set from Spellbinders. Can I use the laminated to foil with the glimmer stamp?
No, this is a completely different foiling system. This is for HOT foiling, not toner foiling with a laminator
How about using a heavier cover paper
You can try that. The more heat and pressure the better.
Hi!! thanks for sharing!! a little question can we print our designs in a inkjet printer? or it has to be laser?
No. It has to be laser printer for the foil to stick to the toner.
Are the images or fonts raised on the cardstock and do you think this will work with a regular stamp font or image?
No, you must use a laser printer for this to work.
This is the first time I have seen foiling. The images you are foiling are they regular print outs? special printer? what if I printed and didnt want everthing foiled I would just put the foil on parts I wanted foiled?
Yes, must print with a laser printer or buy toner printed images. Correct, don't cover the parts you don't want foiled.
What would you suggest for specks? Should I run it another time just in case? or leave it to cool?
Letting the machine warm up longer to 30+ mins and running it through twice
Hi There! I just found your video and channel! I really want to make foiled divider envelopes with tabs on vellum and then laminate. Is there a simple way to foil without purchasing a toner printer? I do have a cricut maker. TIA for your help!
You can try the Foil Quill system in the Cricut. It's Hot foil system like a pen. The pressure from the cricut writes down on the foil to transfer it.
Those you made, what is it used for?
In some of your videos I have seen you use purple tape. What is it called and where do you get it? Also does this method of foiling only work with laser printer images? Will ink jet printer work?
Google purple tape or use painters tape. Scrapbook.com has it. Yes, images must be laser printed for the foil to stick to the toner. Inkjet won't work
@@NancyStamps thank you
Can I use acetate (overhead projector film) instead of paper? I want to make my own foils for resin.
Yes has to printed on a laser printer on laser printer acetate
hey there Nancy, thanks very much for the tuto, I would like to know what kind of paper are you using? Is it coated and what's it weight? I'm asking this because I've tried many kinds of paper and the foil just wouldn't stick. It would be great if you could help me out, thanks!
You can get Hamilco paper in my Amazon shop www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps or shop DIY toner paper from Craftycritta.com use code FSC05 for discount. They ship internationally from Australia
@@NancyStamps Thank you very much! It's for the Christmas market on the 8th, so I will first try to find similar paper at my local store, if not I will surely order the Hamilco one, looks great！
So when you print your image with a laser printer, is there a certain window of time that you have to foil?
Whenever you want. The minc reheats the toner for foil to stick.
Thank you for this video. What do you use for the foil to stick to card stock?
Has to be printed with a laser /toner printer to work. Inkjet won't work.
@@NancyStamps Thank you for your reply.
I kept getting overfoiling with a foiling machine, and love my laminator! I cant use the dies, but this is cheaper as I can use my printer and my stamps! Yeah!
You might be using the wrong foil. Over foiling happens with hot foil. If you mean the Hot foil machines, turn your heat down if you can or less timer. Take out some shims if you are using them.
@@NancyStamps thank you. I bought the Glimmer when it first came out because I could use my dues as well as plates, Spellbinders foil and only one heat setting as you know. I cut the foil to size, sonIncan only think of less time. My wreath beautiful plate was a disaster as it filled the middle up with smudges of foil. Perhaps the Minc is better. Thanks for helping.
Do you have to use a laser printer to print your initial image or can you use an inkjet printer
Hello Nancy. I just found your channel and I am in love with the creative vision foils and need all of them but I cannot find the website for them. Are they not available. Can you recommend another brand

Thank you so much for making this video! 🥰
Were those designs/images just printed using a regular printer and ink? Will an HP inkjet work?
Also, will this work on clear sticker paper?
No, it must be a laser printer with toner ink. The foil will stick to any color toner ink. Clear sticker paper is tough because of the coating in the paper. You will have to experiment.
@@NancyStamps got it! Thanks for your prompt response! 🙏🏼 I’ll try the sticker paper.. how about sublimation printer and ink?
@@NancyStamps Got it! Thank you.
What is a good laser print for this kind of project?
What kind of paper did you use for the butterflies? I don’t think my laser printer will take card stock.
The Hamilco paper, it's in my Amazon shop
@@NancyStamps thx!
Have you ever tried printing OVER things you have foiled with this type of foil? I used a professional print shop kinda of fail/laminator, and you can print over the foiled sections to give them extra color. I don't have an extra $17k to drop on one of those, so I'm looking for an alternative.
No, I let the foil be the focal image. The foil tends to resist anything else. You could try Heat embossing over it.
@@NancyStamps So I tested it out, least with a b/w printer for now. Print, foil, print over to add detail to the foil and then laminate. It worked much much better than I expected!
Hello and thanks for sharing. What material are you printing on before the laminating process. Is it waterslide paper ? Want to try this with my foils
No, these are preprinted toner images or I use Hamilco paper. I do have a seperate video using Waterslide and foiling but it had more steps and is a little cumbersome.
I am scare the paper can catch on fire. Is this a possibility? Serious question.
Hi should it only be laser printer to be able to apply foil or can you print on normal inkjet printers too?
Laser only. It has to be toner.
How can I use this kind of stickers for resin epoxy??
It doesn't seem to work very well for me if I use printed material from my home jet printer unless I'm doing something wrong, my laminater seems hot enough as it certainly does laminate sheets so I don't know whats gone wrong
Depends on your toner, paper and laminator. Not all laminator get hot enough. Let it run for minimum of 30 mins and try passing it through twice.
May I ask, What’s the difference between toner foil and foil art?
The foil art is the toner printed design. The toner foil is what foil you use to stick to it.
So, based on your examples, it only foils on black ink with a white background?
It will foil on anything you can put tacky glue on like stencils, you can foil on anything you can laser print on, you can foil on double sided tape. So many possibilities.
Hello did you just use common bond paper for the main base or you did use other special paper?please let me know...thank youu
Regular smooth paper
@@NancyStamps but how can the laminator know that the foil should atick on there?
Hiii, does it have to be laser yet for the transfer to work? Or can you use black inkjet?
Must be laser
I am still struggling with getting crisp foil results. The foil sometimes didn't stick fully on the paper, even I did it twice. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the paper
Can you post pictures in the Foiling Snobs Club on Facebook. Are you using a laminator or minc?
The laminator is very reasonable….it’s the lack of a laser printer that is keeping me from using this method. Does the Minc also require a laser printer?
If you want to make your own you need a laser printer. However, these are from a company called Crafty Critta, you can also shop Pink & Main and GinaK for foilables ready to go.
Hi when I'm transferring foil it seems to transfer the whole sheet onto the paper not just the laser printed section I'm so confused can you advise x
I'm guessing you are using the wrong foil. Probably using Hot foil instead of toner foil. What brand is it? Or your paper has coating on it.
@@NancyStamps I have the same issue I'm using Heidi Swapp heat reactive foil...and its all over the cardstock...I've tried covering with regular copy paper and wax paper..wax paper made it worse....can you help?
Can you pass it twice through the laminator before removing foil
Yes. I would recommend that if this wasn't getting hot enough, seemed to work ok though and I didn't even let it heat up the whole 30 mins.
I want to try with my wedding invites but how do I make just some of the words foil and not all of it?
the paper with black ink, is that laser printed? or is it okay with inkjet?
Has to be laser for the foil to stick . It won't stick to inkjet
How do you get it not leave foil marks all over the paper?
Make sure you use toner foil and not hot foil.
Is it possible to foil with inkjet instead of laser jet? Does that matter?
You can not use an inkjet. The foil sticks to the toner from a laser printer
