MrV165L Having entered the twilight of my life, I feel now is the time to attempt projects That have interested me when I wore a younger man's clothes. You're video is clear and concise, easy to follow. Thank you, Mirek
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to do this but everyone on insta who does this beautiful foiling that I asked wouldn’t answer my questionsTvT this explains so much! It’s so helpful, truly thank you!
Can you recommend what cardstock I should use with the laser printer your using? I tried 2 different brands of cardstock & both got jammed in the printer (same as yours.) . Thanks!
SMOOTH card stock works best, in my experience. I've tried several, including metallic and textured. Smooth wins out and 80# seems to respond better than 110#
Hi nice video but what if you printed something that is colorful n you want to write ? But you want to foil it how do you do that do you put the print paper in the laser n print the writing ?
Hello, I have tried a couple different types of foil and every time my foil comes across everywhere not just on the laser printed part. Any suggestions? I am trying to foil my save the dates!
Thanks for the video! I'm totally dumb when it comes to laser printers, but do you think a HP LaserJet P1102w capable for printing for a project like this?
I have bought a Canon Pixma laser jet but when i print a txt of and try to foil it with my Minc foiling maching the foil dose not stick pulling my hair out spent all this money and nothing do you have to put printer on any thing special or what card stock do you use please can you let me know please
The Canon Pixma printers are Inkjet printers (not Laser), they work by placing ink on the page whereas the Laser printers place a powder on the page. The Inkjet printers won't work for this foil process.
+Lynn Tezanos It was an image I grabbed from Google but I'm not sure the font. The Hungry Jpeg has some great fonts that are similar. thehungryjpeg.com/product/6185-arabella-typeface/selena/
Im not sure if you respond to messages but when I run my project through the laminator I only get specks on the toner. I have a scotch laminator but I was wondering if you had suggestions
what setting are you using and are you using regular paper or cardstock? also, what are you using to run it through? the carrier sheet it came with or something else?
+Two Hearts One Love Designs My scotch printer has 2 settings 3mil and 5mil (Im guessing this is thickness) I was using pink card stock, and copy paper folded over the front and back.
if you printed something that has a slightly shaded background? Eg a tint that is lighter than the font How does the foiling work in that scenario? I'm making a word collage and the program I used ended up shading things in the back.... :/
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong every time I foil and put it through my laminator the paper around my words also foils not with as much foil but to much to erase with an eraser
Leanne Winstanley. I have tried a lot of different types of foil. And primas foil is the only one that foils everywhere and not only on the word. So maby you use rong foil. Try Heidi swapp or Gina K or icraft deco foil. I haven't had any problems with them.
So far, everything I've purchased is made by Deco Foil, whether Heidi Swapp or Gina Kay. Colors are all the same. MY foiling experience is limited but I have had better results when I use an embossing powder bag on the areas around the printing I want to foil

Well damn that’s gorgeous and quick

Make sure when you print that you tell your computer you're printing on card stock. Your printer is expecting regular paper by default

How did you cut black paper on the explore?

What dpi are you using with your laser printer? I am getting poor results with the Amazon laminator
Great tip! Thanks. I'll up the dpi.
what weight cardstock do you recommend?
Which font is that for 'You are so loved'?
I love the font! Which one is it?

What weight card stock did you use for this video.
My foil isn’t smooth with it comes out. It almost has a distressed look. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video. You answered my questions.
On a side note:
I totally thought you were Kim Kardashian using an alias. 😂
if you printed something that has a slightly shaded background? Eg a tint that is lighter than the font How does the foiling work in that scenario? I'm making a word collage and the program I used ended up shading things in the back.... :/
does it have to be a black and white printer or can you print it in black with a color laser printer?
I've foiled on both black and colored laser printing. Since laser toner is powdered plastic, ink color doesn't matter, in my experience
Thanks for doing this tutorial.
Thank you...took all the “fear” out of trying it
That is so pretty and easy! What font did you use?
+Janell Brown This was just an image I found online. I can't remember the source. I think I googled "handwritten quotes".
hi, should it be laminated immediately after it has been printed?
Can you do a tutorial with foil on a canvas and vinyl on canvas
How do you do this on a black paper ?
Just use black card stock.
For a second I thought you paid $100 for the scotch laminator... LMAO.
thanks Selena
very pretty. I love foiling...
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong every time I foil and put it through my laminator the paper around my words also foils not with as much foil but to much to erase with an eraser
I've had the same problem. Any solutions
