Miss Heidi, what's the best way to store foiled card fronts until you use them for cards? I don't want to make a small pile and then have them get scratched up!
Hi Lou! What reacts is the polymer in the texture paste. Most paint products have polymer but not all equally. I would test and play! We however know this texture paste works perfectly! - Heidi Swapp Customer Service
Hi there! Michaels only sold the Minc for a short time during the holiday season of 2015. They have decided to not carry the Minc at this time. However, independent and online stores in Canada do. Feel free to email me at jennifere@americancrafts.com if you need help finding a store near you or willing to ship in Canada. - Jen Evans Heidi Swapp Customer Service
Hi Elizabeth! I have developed a way that works amazingly! I have the tutorial with Heidi's Minc Series class at Big Picture Classes. You can check it out right here www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/make-it-minc - Heidi Swapp Customer Service
Versamark by itself, then cover in toner powder, a bit messy but if you use the dusting pad first it almost all brushes away. There is a tutorial on TH-cam somewhere.
I'm just starting too but like you in the video every time I try it comes out imperfect. If you can't get it to come out perfect, how are we supposed to? I even have the heat pen and that doesn't come out perfect either. I bought just about all your products and I'm making a big mess. I want perfection and I'm not getting it at all. My God I bought both sizes of machines and so many colors of foils, everything. Each time I try something, I get a transfer folder stuck in a machine, or the outcome looks messy. I'll keep trying but I was instantly disappointed. I thought it would be perfection every time.
All of my Minc foiling has black marks. Nothing seems to foil completely- whether it's with Minc products or not.Any advice would be appreciated. I've tried different heat settings etc. nothing seems to work.
shellyqt I think it depends on the paper. I have had trouble too. It's almost like the paper sucks up the toner so the foil has nothing to react with. I tried it on copic xpress it paper and it was a little better. Her samples with the machine work perfectly and the paper is obviously designed especially for it? Hope that helps....i was disappointed too.
A great video to watch is this one I created to answer that question for customers! - Jen Evans Heidi Swapp Customer Service th-cam.com/video/Uz1NLtIfRqE/w-d-xo.html

That's the secret! Any Heidi Swapp texture paste. Every paint isn't created equal, so if you have another brand texture paste, try it and see! - Jen Evans Heidi Swapp Customer Service
Wow! Didn’t know you could do this.

Heidi Swapp that will be great! Thank u so much heidi! Ill send u an email thanks again
Can you develop something like an ink pad so we can use our stamps to foil images?! That would be amazing!
I found that using a clear Versamark ink works well.
You can buy the Ranger cut N Dry Foam pad and apply the paint or the liquid mist to it and put it in an unused ink case...
Versa mark by itself or with embossing powder? I've tried with embossing powder and the image always spreads out.

is that just any texture paste that can be used or does it have to be a special minc one
