Ken, just wanted to thank you for this video, I just brought out my minc machine after buying it a year ago. I couldn't find the instructions so went first to TH-cam to find out about it. I went to your videos and loved the part about printing out a card from my laser printer. I did that and was wowed at the simplicity of the card and how special it looked. Thank you for spending your time to inform us novices. BTW, I love the addition of Sean on your other videos.
YEAH thanks for the feedback. I love adding sean to my videos as well!!!! Thank You For Watching. If you are not already a subscriber, subscribe here: bit.ly/1MnKcNn. Also check out my amazon store: amzn.to/1TGQPCE
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! A friend just gifted me a tube of deco foil and your video just made my ADD/designer/vlogger little mind GO WILD! I cannot wait to try pairing this with my Silhouette cutter and create tons of cute stuff! Thanks again!!!
Ken, this is the 5th time I have watched this video. I ordered about $60 worth of deco foil products, and I am waiting for it to arrive. Tell deco foil to hire you full time.
You do great tutorials, thank you. Please may I add that you are the very first crafter I have come across on TH-cam who doesn't say "Um" and "Er" 6 times in every sentence. You are wonderful and organised :-)
I've used the foil several times, but never knew about the trick with the laser printer and laminator. I have used the liquid that you used at the end to make designs on the larger Christmas light bulbs, then applied the foil after the liquid had dried. I then made Christmas ornaments with those light bulbs. They turned out really cute. Thanks for this great video!
Thanks for sharing these techniques, Ken. I've tried to use these before with a special glue & made a mess...the mistake I made, I realize now after seeing your video, is that I didn't give the glue time to dry. I will try it again soon & post the results. I just stumbled upon your video this morning & I like your presentation style. I must add you to my subscribe list & I can't wait to see more videos.
I just bought the deco foil in the hugely popular rose gold color & was worried that I'd have to go to staples for toner sheets, but not after seeing your awesome video; thanks so much for the adhesive idea as I do not have a laser printer, I do have a heat laminator but now I won't have to go to Staples to make toner sheets, but maybe on special occasions I will.
Just saw this video the other day, purchased a monochrome laser printer and laminator. I tried to create the card with the candy cane but not sure how to attach the candy cane to the card in Cricut Design Space. After printing when put back through the Cricut for cutting it cut out the candy cane separately from the card. The foiling however worked great. Thanks for the video, I am learning so much.
Ken thanks so much for this video. I purchased the Anna Griffin Minc on HSN but it is going back since it's defective. Now instead of another I'm going to try using the scotch laminator. I have 6 rolls of the minc foil so I hope they work though I ordered a package of the deco foil to try. This fits my budget so much better. You are such an inspiration. Thanks for the fantastic videos and tips
Thanks. Your explanations were nice and clear. Let me add that I've seen a technique using the versamark ink and a stamp, then running that thru a laminator and it worked great too. Lots of options with this deco foil!
Hi Ken: Just a little suggestion to add to your video here. Once you have used your foil to make something, let's say your star you used in this presentation. Take a piece of card stock at an appropriate size for a project, cover it with double sided tape. Now take the protective sheet of the other side of the tape and apply the foil with the negative imagine of the start. Burnish it as usual and remove the excess foil. This will leave you with what appears to be a foil background with a negative Star imagine. Remember, that negative star imagine is sticky....so apply another color foil to that space and burnish and removed. You know have a two tone foil image. The mind can go wild with variations to this technique.Jacee.
Your ideas are helpful, insightful and best of all they SAVE MONEY!!!! Thank you so much for making a video that is easy to understand and follow without talking "down" to your audience.
I too bulked at that price but I wanted to used glitter sheets so I read you needed much higher heat like the Minc has. I kept searching and found a seller on Amazon who sold her full kit and Minc for 60.00. 6 rolls of foils came with it. Great tutorial!!
Terrific. I have been watching Jennifer McGuire's series on foiling and, as I mentioned to her, I remember doing this years ago but could not remember the adhesive I used. I think I might still have some gold foil or flakes hidden somewhere. But I do own Xyrons so I am going to try it with one of them. Jennifer does say that she found the laminator way can't be scratched off and the other ways can. Have you found that to be true too? I love the double-sided adhesive foam method!
This was a great video, Ken, I just bought the MINC through HSN for a lot less money than the Heidi one and I just wanted to check with you that this deco foil would work with the MINC. It is a toner type laminator also. I love the other options of foiling too. Have always been afraid to foil for some reason. You have showed it really is easy! Thank you so much. The double sided sticker foam sheets are mentioned - they are listed as the deco foil adhesive foam sheets, correct?
Ken!!! My new and wonderful friend! I recently discovered the foiling technique for card making....loving it!! And this video has me even more excited about it! A lot of great and inexpensive ways to create beautiful cards with foil. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you for sharing so many ways to use the foil. What is foil transfer vs the deco foil? Have you ever done 2 colors at same time? example: red apple, green leaves, or would you do them separately?
Ken I just found this video and I fell in love. I have a Two Cows laminator from Costco, and I paid about $18 and I found the secret for using mine was to let it heat up for about 20 minutes then they all came out great..It's amazing and looks so spectacular.. thanks Ken..I don't know how I missed this one but I finally found it.. lol pat
Kens Kreations I tried using my Your Story laminator and it did not work, but did not know you had to heat it for 30 minutes, Yike! Did it finally work after that?
Judy Dickson Hello Judy...I had a Two Cows but what Ken was saying is that he had the same problem as I did with mine. when we allowed it to head for about 25 minutes and let it get warm that it worked better and pretty good. My laminator was only about $18 and that's a lot cheaper than the $150 to $175. The expensive ones can heat up faster but they are more tricky to work with from what I was reading. I don't mind the cheaper ones. They don't get as hot but they work. I just have to plug it in about 25 minutes before I'm ready to work with it. pat
You're killing me. Everything you show and I WANT..Been wanting to do foiling, when the quill came out, almost ran out and got it but couldn't afford it. showing this I'm glad you showed the different techniques on HOW to do it. I don't have a lazer printer, or other mechanisms. so for me the last way will have to be the way for me right now. been wanting to get a laminator, but you still need a lazer printer. so those are out. also been wondering what to do with deco foil. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. My sewing, craft room is getting SOOO much smaller since I got my cricut maker. lol finally a question.. can you do last technique on the first shapes you used?? THANK YOU AGAIN. LOVE YOU GUYS. Always bring a smile to my face.
As usual great demo and explanation. I now know what I'm doing wrong I'm applying the foil to the glue too soon. Thanks sooooo much and keep up the good work. Hugs x
Hi Ken! I've been testing the waters with foiling and while I've been using a laser printer for making a design, most printers cannot handle the cardstock that I had. I'm curious about the cutting machine method you used in this video. I know this was 7 years ago 😅 but how did you do it? Any help is appreciated, thank you! ☺
Ken, you should get commission on the sales at Amazon for the items you recommend. I just ordered the printer and toner cartridge. I had bought the deco foil on sale and was trying to figure out how to use it. I'm so excited to try. I was watching Crafting by 2 and they show where they printed a pattern, foiled it then printed a black rectangle and used the negative image. It was awesome looking.
Have you tried using 'hot stamp foil', which is different from deco foil? The kind made for hot foil stamping with an electric imprint/embossing machine or handheld heated embossing unit. Wanted to know if this worked as well with these methods. I saw a youtube video where the guy used just a heat pen; a soldering pen with a rounder nib for writing. He just hand wrote what he wanted foiled, but it turned out really good I thought. Looked professional.
Love this video! I am thinking of using this technique for our wedding invitations... any suggestions? Or how well do you think it will work on all sizes of text?
Thanks for the great video! Do you happen to know if you could apply the transfer adhesive using a stamp? (apply the adhesive to the stamp, then stamp the paper) I'm curious as to whether it would clean up from the stamp or ruin it. Thanks again.
Ken, Thank you soo much, you have been such a life save, i have been looking for just this information for days, i adore you and your videos..you are my hero... ty ty ty
Your video is terrific and really helped me make my decision about foiling. Yes, I would like to see more videos like this one, so I am subscribing to your channel.
I have a laser color printer that uses Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black Toner. Do I need a Black only printer or can I do it with what I already have. For that matter does it have to be the "black" toner or as long as it is toner. Thanks for the tutorial.
love this info. I have the same laminator & some of the foil along with some designs I copied at work (don't tell). Going to make some great Christmas cards.
Great video. I like how you showed the laminator version over and over so I finally believed that it is easy.. I bought a laminator and foil, as well as some Gina K printed sheets, but I've been scared to try them! THANK YOU
Aww! Thanks so much Ken for sharing. I have that exact printer and the Cricut Explore2. Don't know why I didn't think of using them!! What a "duh" moment!! haha!! Really like your videos. Thank You! And Yes already a subscriber!!
Hi Ken! Thanks for the tutorial. Just want to be clear, the pens with the cricut explore are toner pens that I can use with foiling??? If so you are my new best friend!
I can use any type of paper or cardstock? regularly use pearlescent paper the Deco Foil only adheres to what is printed in black color or whatever color? thanks so much for you video
Great video, thanks for making, can you take a guess to what type of pen will be used in the Ann's Griffin auto ship from HSN, with her Minc machine. I am dying to use it with my Explore/Design Space.
Hi Ken. I hope you will respond to this. I have tried to do the amazing Circus foil that you printed out. I cannot find the font you used. I tried carousel but it's not the same. Also, do you cut it then foil? Love you projects
Hello and thanks for one more awesome video and so useful tips... I'm to buy a laser printer once I find a way to squiz it into my overcramped little scraproom, but as I know that there are some cards, by heidi swapp, especially designed for use with minc machine. I hardly can buy them here in France and shipping from the States is not worth. My question is : would any black and white "bought" card work? (E.G. project life cards from Stampin Up) I hope you can answer... Thanks anyway.
i just saw the new foil transfer that brother has for the scan n cut 2. I think the glue pen will be next for other projects. i love that i don't have to buy a new big machine......, just the speedy kit... never on sale. i did make plans on doing the foil via my still in the box laser printer and my new barely used thermal laminator. then one of the craft stores clearances out lots of foil... yeah me, for future use. great job on all your videos
Ken this is great stuff. Im doing a bass drum head with my sons band logo. Its a complicated logo of a weird type face. I noticed in this video you have several ways of putting foil on. On one you put the shiny foil on the sticker foam ( the star and cricket example at 6:36), on the other you put the foil backing down on the written word (I love you example at 8:46). My question, which is the better way to do this? Foil up or down? Thanks for posting this info, much appreciated.
Hi Ken, love your video on foil. Found it by accident when searching for Jones Tones Foil. I am fairly new to any kind of crafting, and into quite a bit. However polymer clay is my favorite so far and jewelry making which I incorporate the 2 by making my own pendants and beads with polymer clay. Can this product be used much like the Lisa Pelkeva foils for polymer clay, and or crafting. Her foils are so much more expensive than the Decofoil. Thanks for the advice, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Love you, just subscribed! I want to use this on an acrylic painting to add WOW factor. I noticed a painting behind you looked foiled. Did you use this foil? Can you make a video of how?Also, I didn't see the link for the glue pen you used. Do you have it? I have only found the deco foil transfer GEL and I need something I can brush on for finer detail. I am going to try TACKY glue too.
I have a laminator and that is great that I can use the deco foil this way for my greeting cards. i have a Prizm machine too with the Shapeabilities. I was going to use it with my Prizm machine but maybe I shouldn't.
Have purchased some of the Heidi Swapp foil on sale and haven't gotten these results with the zyron. Love that technique, do you know if it only works with the deco foil?Thank!
Ken, Thanks so much for the ideas...I did not want to fork out that much for the machine either. You mentioned a monochromatic laser printer. I have a color laser printer. Will it work if I print all my designs in black only? Or, is the toner somehow different.
Hi Ken Is the Brother HL-L2340DW Compact Laser Printer, Monochrome, Wireless, Duplex Printing you actually used for these as I bought a different one which was recommended by another and it wont take card stock
Hey ken! I have the same laser printer as you, but my prints never seem to come out as dark as yours - any suggestions for how to improve print darkness?
I have yet to try this fun looking craft but, I assure you the most cost efficient way I will go about it is with the Xyron 150 Create-a-Sticker Sticker Maker :).
hi... love all the information you share its fantastic... I fo have one wuestion. if I place s black cardstock on a laser copier to be copied would it also work with foiling
I am so afraid to use everything I have, I still have the original pazzle untouched, not to mention the first Cricut machine.... So a visual that I can do along with you would be awesome and maybe not so scary :)
Hi. I know this is an old video, but I am hoping someone knows the answer. What setting, on your Cricut Explore, do you use to cut the adhesive foam? I have tried a few settings without much luck.
Ken, just wanted to thank you for this video, I just brought out my minc machine after buying it a year ago. I couldn't find the instructions so went first to TH-cam to find out about it.

Wow!!! I must give it a try. You explained everything to the tee and looks fairly easy! Thank you!

Shereen Timmerman is that the 6" or 12" minc? please post her name. many thanks.
Thanks for the excellent demo on how to use the deco foil
Marie Campagna Thanks
I love your video! Just an FYI, you can use an iron instead of a laminator (use polyester or silk setting---lower temp). HTH!
kati russell good idea
Terrific. I have been watching Jennifer McGuire's series on foiling and, as I mentioned to her, I remember doing this years ago but could not remember the adhesive I used.

Charlotte C some other ways yes it can be scratched off.....even the laminator way can get scratched off if not careful

peperoch2 Thanks!!!
does this work on ribbons too?
Thaks for the ideas! If I am using a more complex laser printed image, will the foil then only adhere to the parts that are black?
Does it work for any laminator or just a specific one? I have a laminator and want to try this awesome technique!! Thanks for sharing!😊👍
Any laminator should work just needs to get hot enough
wow,i could not believe what i saw... great ideas. i had already tried the laminator technique but it did not come out as great as yours did.
+Laura Miller make sure your laminator is HOT I give it like 20 minutes to warm up

I would like to use the foil on white frosted coffee mugs for holiday gifts - any advise?
Did you find that the thickness of the cardstock that the image was printed on made a difference? What about not using a carrier sheet?
How on earth did I ever miss this vid of yours?? It's right up what the doctor (Dr. Foil) ordered. Thank you sooooooo much, Ken!!! :-)

Hi Ken. I hope you will respond to this. I have tried to do the amazing Circus foil that you printed out. I cannot find the font you used. I tried carousel but it's not the same. Also, do you cut it then foil? Love you projects
great....nice and simple to understand and follow.

Great Video & Ideas. I love using the Thermo Web Transfer Gel & Stencils, it comes out beautiful.
Ah Ken. First you convinced me to buy the Explore Air, now this! Burn that CC baby! Thanks for sharing
This is AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Deco foil is now on my shopping list.
Tina Goodwin it is amazing product
Hello and thanks for one more awesome video and so useful tips... I'm to buy a laser printer once I find a way to squiz it into my overcramped little scraproom, but as I know that there are some cards, by heidi swapp, especially designed for use with minc machine. I hardly can buy them here in France and shipping from the States is not worth. My question is : would any black and white "bought" card work? (E.G. project life cards from Stampin Up) I hope you can answer... Thanks anyway.
beautiful outcome and super helpful!
I have that laminator! I bought it at Walmart for $16! I bought toner and made my own toner paper to cut any dies I want to foil!
Wow ... You're a genius!!!! TFS. I can't wait to try them ALL. Be Blessed.

Thanks for the ideas! I have a Cricut and a Xyron so I'm definitely going to have to try this. :)
Elizabeth H the only hiccup on xyron is that it can scratch off. so be careful.
i just saw the new foil transfer that brother has for the scan n cut 2. I think the glue pen will be next for other projects. i love that i don't have to buy a new big machine......, just the speedy kit... never on sale.
i did make plans on doing the foil via my still in the box laser printer and my new barely used thermal laminator. then one of the craft stores clearances out lots of foil... yeah me, for future use.
great job on all your videos
Thanks so much for all of these ideas Ken! I hope to try this soon. Pugs and kisses, Dorothy
Dorothy Jewell Love me my pugs~!!!
Ken this is great stuff. Im doing a bass drum head with my sons band logo. Its a complicated logo of a weird type face. I noticed in this video you have several ways of putting foil on. On one you put the shiny foil on the sticker foam ( the star and cricket example at 6:36), on the other you put the foil backing down on the written word (I love you example at 8:46). My question, which is the better way to do this? Foil up or down?
Thanks for posting this info, much appreciated.
Fantastic! Love using Foil! TFS!!

Thanks! Great video and clear instructions!
Thanks Ken so much for your info.it is a I can try now and affordable fun in foil
Dee Johnston Thanks For Watching!!
Loved this video. Great tips. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Ken, love your video on foil. Found it by accident when searching for Jones Tones Foil. I am fairly new to any kind of crafting, and into quite a bit. However polymer clay is my favorite so far and jewelry making which I incorporate the 2 by making my own pendants and beads with polymer clay. Can this product be used much like the Lisa Pelkeva foils for polymer clay, and or crafting. Her foils are so much more expensive than the Decofoil. Thanks for the advice, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

Kens Kreations Your Welcome! Thanks I am already a Subscribed
Love you, just subscribed! I want to use this on an acrylic painting to add WOW factor. I noticed a painting behind you looked foiled. Did you use this foil? Can you make a video of how?Also, I didn't see the link for the glue pen you used. Do you have it? I have only found the deco foil transfer GEL and I need something I can brush on for finer detail. I am going to try TACKY glue too.
I have a laminator and that is great that I can use the deco foil this way for my greeting cards. i have a Prizm machine too with the Shapeabilities. I was going to use it with my Prizm machine but maybe I shouldn't.
I think it would be fine
Have purchased some of the Heidi Swapp foil on sale and haven't gotten these results with the zyron. Love that technique, do you know if it only works with the deco foil?Thank!
Kathy Mothershead not sure. never used heidi swap
Good information. I went ahead & got the Minc on Black Friday all under $100. I will use the other methods you showed also.
😊😊
Ken can you use a laser color printer and just choose black or does it have to be monochrome? I just don't want to have to have 2 printers.
Ken, Thanks so much for the ideas...I did not want to fork out that much for the machine either. You mentioned a monochromatic laser printer. I have a color laser printer. Will it work if I print all my designs in black only? Or, is the toner somehow different.
Debbie Adolphsen as long as you use the black color yes
Hi Ken Is the Brother HL-L2340DW Compact Laser Printer, Monochrome, Wireless, Duplex Printing you actually used for these as I bought a different one which was recommended by another and it wont take card stock
+Jules Shultz oh no. I am so sorry!
+Kens Kreations Just bought one works great just waiting for my foil to arrive yay
Hey ken! I have the same laser printer as you, but my prints never seem to come out as dark as yours - any suggestions for how to improve print darkness?
Kyle D make sure to print photo quality
Do you have experience with the iredencent deco foil? Is it transparent? How does one apply this one?
Thank you. I never would have thought to do that!
happy to help
Hey Ken, have you tried deco foil with embossing folders?
I have yet to try this fun looking craft but, I assure you the most cost efficient way I will go about it is with the Xyron 150 Create-a-Sticker Sticker Maker :).
hi... love all the information you share its fantastic...
I fo have one wuestion. if I place s black cardstock on a laser copier to be copied would it also work with foiling
+Barbara Osbourne it has to be a
Do you use normal A4 paper to create the deco foil craft ideas?
How do you use the Cricut to do that? Would love to see tutorial on that alone. Great projects, love love love the circus one!
Cheri Russo i can do that. It is pretty easy. Jus use the print and cut feature and turn all of the colors to black that you want to be foiled.
I am so afraid to use everything I have, I still have the original pazzle untouched, not to mention the first Cricut machine.... So a visual that I can do along with you would be awesome and maybe not so scary :)
Would this technique work on fabric?
Thank you, thank you. I wanted to try this and you have made it possible. Joyce
sannluvs2scrap Thanks For Watching!!
Hi. I know this is an old video, but I am hoping someone knows the answer. What setting, on your Cricut Explore, do you use to cut the adhesive foam? I have tried a few settings without much luck.
