Glimmer Hot Foil Hack | How to get thicker lines with dies
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ม.ค. 2021
- Can you get thicker impressions with ordinary wafer thin dies and Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System? YES, you can! This is what every cardmaker should know. This will make your cardmaking so much better. And it will let you get more out of your dies than you ever thought.
In this video I am showing you how. Believe it or not, but I found out about this technique by pure coincidence and laziness. I will walk you through my process while telling you my story of how this Hot Foil Technique came to life. In the end of the video I show you how to do this and what to use.

Pia, Thank you so much for this tip on how to make your lines thicker using standard dies. I did not have Quick Release paper but I figure I also decided to try parchment paper which looks similar to the Quick Release paper. It’s a product I keep in my cabinet for baking cookies. It works great. Again thanks for the tip.
Thank you! I was wondering if parchment paper would work!
I too immediately thought of parchment paper and if it would work. Thank you for your comment Inetha!
How about baking parchment paper?
Thank you for stating that parchment paper works because I do not have any quick release paper! ❤
Brilliant idea! I am still thinking about the possibility of buying a hot foil machine - this makes it more appealing. Thank you. xxx💖💖💖
This is really a great result of being lazy. Thank you for your effort to find out what is the best to use.
I will attempt the use of parchment paper. THankYou everyone for your tips!
@Pia Krogh Larsen THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING THIS TIP!!! I often wondered why the die lines were so thin & wished they could show thicker onto my cards! This is phenomenal & will save me quite a bit of money on foil plates! ❤
Oh my gosh...thank you so much. I tried parchment paper and it worked!! It’s sort of parchment cardstock that I had from a long time ago, quite lightweight but I haven’t gotten around to trying kitchen parchment paper yet.
Curious if you’ve tried the kitchen parchment paper yet?
@@WalkerColors Kitchen parchment will work too. See next comment.
Baking paper is quick release paper...but HEAPS cheaper 😊
Very cool
Am I glad I found this video Pia! I was debating purchasing a certain hot foil plate today and removed it from my cart because it was just too pricey LOL! I have all these wonderful dies and was wondering how I could get the lines to be thicker on some of them, and I find your video without even searching for a solution. Thank you for sharing your discovery, it'll make a lot of difference to us hot foilers!
I am so glad you liked my video. Thanks!
WOW!!! Thanks sooooooooooooo much for sharing!!! I wished there was a way to get thicker lines and your video was awesome!!!! I already have some the quick release paper but had not used it but now I will!!!
Thank you soooo much Michele 😘 I truly did a little happy dance which I discovered the result of my laziness 😆
I just ordered a Spellbinders foiling machine......So glad that I don't feel like I made a mistake now! Thank you and you have a new follower!
Welcome 😁 I truly hope that you still don’t feel you have made a mistake 😘

Great idea, definitely going to try. Using my regular dies will open up lots more tools for using my glimmer machine, thank you!
Brilliant! Thank you!
This is brilliant!

Awesome technique! I’m a new fan and subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing!👍🏽
Welcome to my channel Irma :)
Hope you have had a chance to browse through my videos. You might also have noticed that you have the option to choose most of my videos with English voiceover. There is usually an English version and a Danish version of the video.
Wow! You’re a crafty engineer. Thank you for sharing this fantastic tip with us.
My pleasure! Glad you liked it :)
Thankyou and yes please a video on handling slippy foil would be so appreciated
Thank you too Zel 😄 I’ll see what I can do about slippy foil 😉
I just came across your video. I tried your method and it works well. If you then use the die to cut then the die cut will have beautiful foiled edges.
Thank you for the great tip about foiled edges.
Oh wow that is so interesting I am going to try this
Please do! :)
New to using the Glimmer and love getting this information. I tried once to use a r4egular die and it didn't work. But, now I know the secret.
Really good idea!! I didn’t know about this and now I’m going to get some quick release die paper and try it out. Thanks so much for this - you have a new subscriber! ❤️
Great video, Pia! I have always wondered how to do foiling with regular dies. Very informative! Thank you.
Did you try using parchment paper or would that burn up on the glimmer?
Great hack. Question, did you try the clear cello packaging like what stamps come in?
Hi Carol,
No, I have not tried to test that. But if you do, please let me know how it turned out 😁
Thx SO much 4 this FABULOUS tip, last friday you were my final big push in buying the Foilpress, cause i did not want tobuy loads of extra foiling dies!! I am a member of an awsome FB foiling site, i'm so sure all those members (and i think that there are A LOT if members, btw it is definately not a commercial FB site!!) woyld LOVE to see your really amÁsing video, can i please share it there? 🤭And really think it would definately not harm your new members total (if you know what i mean 😉), waiting 4 your reply. Lots of greetings from Holland.. and again, thx so much!!! 👍
Hello Pebblesmas in Holland 😁 You really made my day so much better - It warmed my heart to read your comment 😘.
Yes, feel free to share my video 😁 and out of curiosity - what is the name of the FB site?
Take care, hugs Pia
@@PiaKroghLarsen LOL thx 4 that sweet and amazing reply, made me happy 😁 too. The group is: Foiling Snobs Club, fab tips too there, and lots of youtube tips on the channel, love to hear how you like it, AND, you might see your own video there, best is if YOU post it YOURSELF there, cause when i posted it, they removed it, as they did not know if you approved. If you post it yourself , it SURELY would not "harm" your members total LOL and i would not have to email your link and story (that you approve) first to the moderators... Love to hear or see you and your video there 😃 ( if you don't want to, i'll post it, no problem 👍👍😁👋👋
I would really appreciate it, if you would try and post my video in the group again 😁
Wishing you a good day 😘
I'm looking into that foiling machine...but wonder, how come the die doesn't cut into the paper, like it is supposed to? Is there a bigger gap in the sandwich?
Great tip love the thicker lines. Where can you purchase the release paper? Have searched and searched and cannot find it. Is regular parchment paper the same and work the same???
I bought my release paper in a webshop in Denmark. I suggest you try an search for it again and it might pop up in a webshop in your country.
Some of my viewers have had success with using parchment paper as an alternative. But I cannot say it it works precisely the same. Just give it a go and see if it works for you.
Would baking paper yield similar results? Thank you ever so much for sharing! 🌈
I do not know it it will work but you can give it a go and write here in a comment uf it worked or not.
very cool! i'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that you're using a cutting die but it's not cutting! and it looks like there's no damage to the Spellbinder shims? tia
Hi 😊 So sorry for my late response. Using wafer thin dies with the Glimmer Hot Foil System is no problem and there is no risc of damage to the shims. Reason is that the platform (the heated platform) which you run through your diecutting machine is not as thick as the standard diecutting platform. Therefore the preassure is not the same and so the cardstock does not get cut. I am linking to another of my videos which should explain this better 😄 th-cam.com/video/MJkJzRcGorM/w-d-xo.html
@@PiaKroghLarsen thank you! and thank you for the additional link =)
So if you can't purchase that exact paper, I am guessing that baking paper would do the same thing.
Could you use grease proof paper? I use this with intricate dies. X
Hi Sandra, I am not certain if you can use grease proof paper. I suggest you test it out and see what result you get. You are most welcome to write a comment about your findings, so others can learn from it 😁
I've had no luck making the lines thicker. I used parchment paper and freezer paper. I use a Gemini Jr. And Gemini Hot Foil machine. Any help will be appreciated
I am afraidI haven't got any answers or tips for you here. I have not tried parchment paper myself and cannot give you any feedback on it.
Perhaps other comments left here might help you.
Where do you get your quick release paper?
I have bought mine from a Danish papercrafting webshop. Perhaps you can try and google the Quick Release Paper and see if you can get it in your country.
Best of luck, Pia
Can you use these sheets over and over?
I would not recommend it as the sheets will get impression pattern so a second use might not give as good results 😊
Is that similar to wax paper?
No it is not exactly the same. If you cannot find the Release Paper, then perhaps parchment paper might work. Some of my viewers have made it work for them as an alternative.
What about parchment paper?
I know from other comments on this video that some have made it work with parchment paper. Just give it a go and see if it works for you too.
Can you use wax paper instead?
Perhaps, but I have not tried that. But if you test it out, please let me know how it went 😄 I would love to know.
Or freezer paper (might be able to handle the heat better than wax paper)
I’ve never heard of that quick release paper... I’ll have to see if it’s available in the USA
@@stampinmoe Thanks , that is a good idea!!!
I'm interested in this option, too. But my Glimmer machine is brand new and I'm afraid of ruining it! LOL
OMG, girl, thanks for the quick release paper hack. However, have mercy on us and don't rattle that paper next to the microphone. You about blew my ears out. LOL
