This is one of the most informative videos I have seen. Many tell you to not throw away your foil scraps but no one has show us what to do with them and how to do it! You are awesome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!
I really enjoy your videos of the foiling. I purchased the Gemini foiling machine 2 months ago and then saw your videos and watch them over again many times. I just realized I have a Laminator so will try with that too. I hail from South Yorkshire in the UK and I am a lonely crafter, and so enjoy watching video's for hints and tips. Off now to watch another of yours I found and then to turn on my Gemini's. Many thanks for sharing with us all. Take care Dorothy
Absolutely the best information that I have received in along time. When to a big crop and took a class where we used foil, the gals were throwing out foil sheets, ugg, I hit the trash bins! I love to be creative, but love to save my bucks for something I really need. THANKS NANCY, you are a gem!💜🤗
I have been saving my scrap foil ever since I started foiling, The full negative sheets with patterns I use for making new backgrounds and then in the black I ad a contrasting colour of foil. All the little scrap pieces I use for adding foil to texture paste etc for a more grungy look. ;) I forgot to thank you for the duster tip. I always asked myself why the foil didn't stick every now and then.
So glad to have found this video! I just got a Glimmer machine from Santa and hated to throw away the waste. Today I got my toner sheets and used your method with my Royal Sovereign laminator. Worked perfectly!
Use the hot foil first since it's heat activated and going to stick anyway, then use the toner foil as the second layer of foil since it will only stick to the visible toner.
WOW!! What an informative video! You showed in an earlier video how to use the waste using the Gemini (which I did try) but this is so much easier & by using the toner sheets you can double foil which I didn't know. I think this is why your new subscribers (like me) are growing...we search TH-cam for help with our new foiling machines & when we find you...well all I can say is" done deal"..you're the best!! Keep them coming..I just binge watched :)
Thank you for your video. I haven’t done foiling in a crafty sense (only on certificates at work about 30+ years ago) and now that I’ve seen this video, I am encouraged to give it a try. Thank you again. Happy New Year!!
I tried this technique some years back when I first got my foiling machine, but sadly I don't like how the foil dulls when u do the second layer. Such a shame, as it is a super cool way of using up what would normally be wasted. But if you don't mind the satin look on the 1st foil, after you have put the 2nd foil on, then it's all good. Really good to see this being put out there again as it has been a good few years since I got the original foiling machine to come on the market and it was shown this technique then. All the best, Diane UK xx
I bought the minc when it first came out. I do not have a laser printer and I am so happy to see that there are toner sheets! Just bought some! I will be buying the Gemini foiling machine after Christmas.
A big thank you Nancy for sharing this information. I bought a bunch of foil for nail art purposes but since I don't do my nails anymore I wanted to find a way to use them. This is the answer! Also, you are the only one who I came across who made a video explaining that there are TWO types of foils. I was going nuts trying to use the nail art foil, which is the hot foil type, with an iron. Foil was everywhere on the paper, so I bought a laminator only to have the same results. Well, with this method you saved my sanity and day. Thank you!
Nancy - thanks for showing us what to do with the foil scraps & foil ! Very useful information! We appreciate you for your wonderful work and your information! 💕
Super helpful, i bought some hot foil but i dont have a machine to use it with so now i can use toner sheets which i do have but didnt know what to do with them! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this informative video. There are so many about foiling but this one was one of the most helpful I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing.
I bought the special plate to allow me to foil leftovers on the Go Press & Foil machine, but find it very awkward. I also have a Minc laminator and will definitely switch to using my leftovers this way. Great job. I always learn so much when I watch your videos. Thank you.
Hi Nancy, Loved Loved Loved your foiling crafty tutorial Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Share I really appreciated all your very helpful tips Love to all Lin 👌💞🦋🐕
Wonderful video! I never thought of double foiling--such a cool idea, and a great way to make your foiling prettier. Thank you so much for sharing this. Have an awesome day! :)
You can also do the opposite with leftover toner sheets. After i cut shapes on my cameo i use the negative space sheet and foil it then die cut with it
Thank you for sharing this info. I have a minc and foils but I have never tried it out. I guess I need some toner sheets before I try it. But this was great info. Thank you 😊
Thank you sooo much.. I bought foil for my granddaughters album but couldnt get into it.. now after seeing this I think I will be foiling everything 😊😊😊
It’s important to take care of your leftover foil to avoid creases and and scratches as it has a direct effect on the quality of the project when using it again. Thanks for your tips.
I went to Staples and asked to have them print entire sheets of white card stock with their laser printer. They only charged 11 cents for each printed sheet. Now I used them with dies and then foiled them.
This popped up so I watched it, this makes me want to learn foiling!! I think what you did was very beautiful and the fact you were able to get your money worth out of the products - wow !!! I am now a new sub!!
Nancy you are the BOMB!! I have learned everything I need to know about using the foil press. I got a super duper bargain at the Edison craft show in NJ, paid $65 for it. Love all of your videos.
I loved this video. I am brand new to foiling. I am anticipating the arrival of my Gemini foil press!! I noticed that you said you can use a glue pen to fix the dust marks after you have foiled. Do you have any videos showing this? Or do you have any on Foiling Snobs?? Thank you!
I have three rolls of foil bought I don't remember how long ago. I wasn't happy with the results and there is stayed gathering dust (not literally as it's in a plastic tube). I've no idea if they are hot or not but I am gonna get me some of those toner sheets and start die cutting. Thank you! PS I must remember to take the waste plastic off!!
Thank you for this super informative video. I have bee6 saving all my foil scraps and will be trying your technique. I have a Gemini Junior. Can you tell me your sandwich for cutting out dies. You mentioned it in the video but I couldn't catch what you said.
Had no idea there were two difference kinds of foil. guess I'll learn by trial and error. I don't think anyone has said there were two different kinds of foil.
Is it possible to use the minc dies foiling first .then the second time the sentiment with toner foiling .or just the other way . But to use that together ??
Where do I get the foilsbles toner sheets. I checked Amazon and they had icrsft deco foil peel n stick toner sheets. I’m not sure the quality. Thanks Great video.😊
Great video! Thanks for showing all the examples. One question - if you double foil with the adhesive backed foil second, won’t the foil stick to the whole piece, and not just the toner paper that’s exposed? Thanks.
Great information. You posted below that you used the Creative vision stamps foilables duster. Since Creative Vision went out of business, is there another recommended option?
@@NancyStamps Thanks. You were using a little pad that looked like microfiber sewn around a sponge in some of the videos. Can I just use some microfiber cloth?
But the hotfoil does not need the expensive tonersheet, does it? Can't u just stick that on a paper sheet as it already got glue on it and run it through the laminator ? Or do i misunderstand! And thx so much 4 all your awsome videos, u learn soooooo much from you! 👍 💋
Not anti static, just a soft microfiber sponge or a brush will work to dust off the area. Never use the anti static tool. It will add dust & ruin your foiling.
@@NancyStamps Thank you. I never use that tool with foiling because of the dust. I don’t even like it for heat embossing because of the dust. Haha. I was curious because sometimes the foil has a lot of static and I thought maybe you found some magical new tool that would also work with heat embossing to avoid static, so thank you for your response. 😄
If you have a foil with adhesive built in, it won't normally stick and be "messy" if you use it for the second layer of the double foiling? (like that gold starburst foil did) Why not?
Great video. I have used double sided tape on card stock to use up some of my foils and they came out great. I was wondering if you can put the foil with the adhesive on just plain card stock?
This is one of the most informative videos I have seen. Many tell you to not throw away your foil scraps but no one has show us what to do with them and how to do it! You are awesome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

So agree, ans sooo smart, that using others bin stuff 🤭 love that 👍
May I share....I used a magic cleaning eraser and cleaned one of carrier folders that I had a lot of over- foiling on. Very easy!
I have been saving my scrap foil ever since I started foiling,
The full negative sheets with patterns I use for making new backgrounds and then in the black I ad a contrasting colour of foil.

I'm just now getting in to foiling and this was one of the best tutorials I've seen. I have several others you did Nancy and they all are great!

@@NancyStamps Thank you, I just submitted my application.
Thanks for reminding me how to double foil. This is a good reminder video.
Fabulous recycling 😘
This is the best video I’ve watched in a long time! Sure did learn a lot here!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Super helpful, i bought some hot foil but i dont have a machine to use it with so now i can use toner sheets which i do have but didnt know what to do with them! Thank you so much!
I have been using this method ever since you advised me a while ago. So glad you have bought out an informative video for everyone xx
I love the way you showed us to use our left over foil. Thank you for sharing. God bless youn.
I like your tips and tricks to use on leftover foil. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing this technique.
I use file folders from the Dollar Store to store foil waste separate from leftover cut foil. Both stay neatly flat and smooth.
thank you for a great video i have just ordered a foiling machine
So many great tips!! Thank you so much! I’m like you, I hate when it doesn’t foil completely and evenly!
Just found your video. Thanks for a great tutorial ! I use my HP Laserjet to make toner sheets.
Isn't it cheaper to buy toner sheets instead of printing so much on your own printer?
And bdw.thank you for all your great videos 🥰👍
Thanks for the info on double foiling
Hi Nancy, Loved Loved Loved your foiling crafty tutorial Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Share I really appreciated all your very helpful tips Love to all Lin 👌💞🦋🐕
Nancy that is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.
Loved this video. You include so much detail and I have learned so much. Thank you!
I just find you. Thank you for the demo and sharing. I have mica by AG.
So glad you shared this video. I was wondering if doing what you did would be possible. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

Brilliant re-use and sooooooo much easier as it ALL works AND easy Peasy
I threw so much minc foil away making my son's wedding invitations, now breaks my heart to think of all the wasted foil that went in the bin.
Because of this video...I'm getting into foiling now. Before, the "waste" just frustrated me. Lol. Thanks!
It’s important to take care of your leftover foil to avoid creases and and scratches as it has a direct effect on the quality of the project when using it again. Thanks for your tips.
I went to Staples and asked to have them print entire sheets of white card stock with their laser printer. They only charged 11 cents for each printed sheet. Now I used them with dies and then foiled them.
Yes, I bought or brought card stock.
Erica Hobbs How are your results with the Staples sheets? Have you used Creative Visions, Minc, or Deco Foil sheets for comparison?
Brilliant video, Nancy! 💖
Thank you for this video - I was wondering if I could use toner sheets with the hot foil :)
Thanks for sharing this! Great information and inspiration.
Love watching your videos ❤️
This popped up so I watched it, this makes me want to learn foiling!! I think what you did was very beautiful and the fact you were able to get your money worth out of the products - wow !!! I am now a new sub!!
Wow! Great info, thanks Nancy.
Very useful to me! Thanks!
I love it Nancy! Thank you. I bought the xyron glaminator and I have been trying it out, like it. You gave me so much great ideas. Thank you again
Make sure you give that a good heat up and use some transfer sheets and shims, I have seen spotty results from it. Your foiling should be 99% perfect.
Thanks so much..I needed to know what to do with my leftover foil!!
Nancy you are the BOMB!! I have learned everything I need to know about using the foil press. I got a super duper bargain at the Edison craft show in NJ, paid $65 for it. Love all of your videos.
scrapdiva77 yes!!!! Get it girl!

PS I must remember to take the waste plastic off!!
Thank you for this video and some products I wasn't aware of.
Thank you Nancy. This is a simple way of using the negatives I have saved. I go to FedEx Office and make toner sheets on their copiers.
I will set up a scrap basket for the leftovers.
Woww this looks soo cool!!
Definitely helpful! Thanks so much!
This is very helpful to know. TFS.
What is the little duster called and where can we purchase it. Thank you
Creative vision stamps foilables duster (on back order right now)
Thank you No more waste
I have a piece of cardstock in the carrier so i dont mess up... keep the carrier clean...
That might provide extra thickness and heat resistance. Be careful.
This video had a lot of great information. What is the green duster you are using? Its not listed in the description. Thank you!!
Foilables ultra soft duster from Creative Vision Stamps.
@@NancyStamps thank you!
@@NancyStamps apparently it's not available right now. I have to check back later.
Yes, she told me she has them ordered.
What is the name of the green sponge to remove dust
Creative vision stamps foilables duster (on backorder right now)
BRILLIANT THANKS X
Hi Nancy can you do this with Fabric? Love to use fabric with scrapbooking.
you can use textile foil with fabric with heat transfer adhesive
Thank you for this super informative video. I have bee6 saving all my foil scraps and will be trying your technique. I have a Gemini Junior. Can you tell me your sandwich for cutting out dies. You mentioned it in the video but I couldn't catch what you said.
Cutting plate, paper, die, magnetic shim, milky plate and top plate. Feed in the machine upside down to reduce warping.
@@NancyStamps thank you very much.
Had no idea there were two difference kinds of foil. guess I'll learn by trial and error. I don't think anyone has said there were two different kinds of foil.
Perfect video..thanks
I'm unfamiliar with the green dusting pad. What is it called and where can I get one?
The company retired, its a microfiber sponge. You can also use a soft make up brush
Is it possible to use the minc dies foiling first .then the second time the sentiment with toner foiling .or just the other way . But to use that together ??
Where do I get the foilsbles toner sheets. I checked Amazon and they had icrsft deco foil peel n stick toner sheets. I’m not sure the quality. Thanks Great video.😊
Foilables has retired. You can use the Decofoil ones or Craftycritta.com has the colored toner sheets. Use discount Code FSC05
Nancy, wiith CVS retiring, have you found another source for solid toner sheets that you like?
DecoFoil has some adhesive ones I have used before.
Great video! Thanks for showing all the examples. One question - if you double foil with the adhesive backed foil second, won’t the foil stick to the whole piece, and not just the toner paper that’s exposed? Thanks.
Yes depending on the heat setting.
Is the carrier sheet the same as transfer sheet? Can you use paper instead to put foil into it ?
MsSony12345 yes, and yes you can use paper or parchment paper
@@NancyStamps thank you
Great information. You posted below that you used the Creative vision stamps foilables duster. Since Creative Vision went out of business, is there another recommended option?
Makeup brush listed on my amazon page under the toner foil folder. Https://Www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps
What are you using to dust the folders and foils? Great helpful video!
Soft make up brush in my amazon shop
@@NancyStamps Thanks. You were using a little pad that looked like microfiber sewn around a sponge in some of the videos. Can I just use some microfiber cloth?
Can you please tell me if you can get the toner sheets in A4 size?
But the hotfoil does not need the expensive tonersheet, does it? Can't u just stick that on a paper sheet as it already got glue on it and run it through the laminator ? Or do i misunderstand! And thx so much 4 all your awsome videos, u learn soooooo much from you! 👍 💋
Yes if you keep your hot foil seperate and glossy cardstock works best for that
@@NancyStamps aha, ok, thx so much 4 your reply, and so fast, thx!!!!! 👍
Where can I find the green duster? I looked on creative vision stamps but could not locate it. Thanks!
Sold out right now.
Is there some that one can print off text from inkjet printer like hp or epson printer ??
No. Has to be laser. AMAZON: (Toner & Hot Foil folders) www.amazon.com/shop/nancystamps
So I take it that waste only refoils over toner paper? Can't use like purple foil cardstock?
You can die cut it. But I recommend saving it for foils
Great video! Thanks!
Could you please let me know what the green tool you’re using is? I assume it’s anti-static? Thank you. :)
Not anti static, just a soft microfiber sponge or a brush will work to dust off the area. Never use the anti static tool. It will add dust & ruin your foiling.
@@NancyStamps Thank you. I never use that tool with foiling because of the dust. I don’t even like it for heat embossing because of the dust. Haha. I was curious because sometimes the foil has a lot of static and I thought maybe you found some magical new tool that would also work with heat embossing to avoid static, so thank you for your response. 😄
You mentioned that you could go back in with a glue pen. Is there a certain kind that you prefer?
Zig 2 way glue pen. Let it dry from blue to clear and it remains tacky to stick the foil on.
Thanks for this,I wS wondering if the printing shops toner would work.I have already inquired about purchasing toner sheets from them
Try them, but usually the quality is spotty and not on good cardstock
If you have a foil with adhesive built in, it won't normally stick and be "messy" if you use it for the second layer of the double foiling? (like that gold starburst foil did) Why not?
Foil doesn't stick to foil.
@@NancyStamps ohhhh. Makes sense. Thanks!
Great video. I have used double sided tape on card stock to use up some of my foils and they came out great. I was wondering if you can put the foil with the adhesive on just plain card stock?
Yesss with double sided tape for minc foil or heat & pressure with the hot foil.
On double foiling, why can't you do it all @ once?
Because the black toner needs to be exposed before the 2nd layer will stick.
And then what do you do with them after all that?
Make cards
Great video. Thanks
Thank you
