I have many many Gemini Foils and Couture Creations (Go Press and Foil) as well as Spellbinders. I just did a test run on the Gemini and Couture foils and they both worked just GREAT!!!! I am so ecstatic!!! I used the fine point just to see if they would show up and they are perfect! Now I can finally make some pretty labels as well as sentiments in my cards with all the different colors of foils that I have.

@elizabethmajor1820 Ай бұрын

I have successfully used spellbinders glimmer foil with the foil transfer tool. I happen to also have a spellbinders glimmer system so I happen to have a bunch of the foil for that system as well. The glimmer system uses pressure and heat together to press foil into paper and other materials. So I knew it might press in with pressure. I was expecting it to flake off but so far so good. The glimmer foil seems to work well.

Good to know! I'm always curious as to whether or not one can use 3rd party materials with Cricut machines, since there's other KZfaq videos demonstrating success with some things (i.e. successfully using Crayola pens). Thanks for the time uploading this video. Well worth the watch!

So, the bold tip is actually our least favorite tip. We feel like it has less successful projects than the other tips. We did try the bold tip in our first test, and it turned out awful.

Makes sense that the other didn’t work since it needs heat and pressure whereas Cricut foil just needs pressure. But thanks for testing it... we now know for sure...

@doogiern02 3 жыл бұрын

I was going to say the same thing...We R Memory Keepers is heat trasnferred and Cricut is pressure transfer. There may be other pressure transferred foil but most are either heat or ink transfer based

Hoping you can help! Using my Maker, I attempted a canned Christmas card found in the Cricut library to test out my new foil transfer kit. Tried twice - both EPIC fails! The first was a complete disaster as the foil bunched up almost immediately (yes, I had taped it down). Second, had similar results but got through about 85% of the foil transfer step before the bunching started. In case you would like to find the project, it is a black card with red foil that says 'Merry Christmas'. I have watched several videos, including this video and I seem to be doing everything correctly. Any ideas??

I just need to know if I can use draw in the app since it doesn’t have foil!! This is more KZfaq’s fault for referring me to the wrong informational videos. I am; however, happy I got this one because I was wondering if I could look for cheaper priced foils that aren’t “cheaply made.” And I found a new page/creator to follow so that’s fun! Except.: way too many, “um-s” lol but hey she’s doin her thang! Thanks for the info.. IF ANYONE KNOWS A HACK TO USE THE FOIL ON IOS APP PLEASE LMK! God bless

@nicolelorrainewilson 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the video! Silhouette have a range of Foil Transfer Sheets that work with their embossing tool. Do you think they’d work? (Don’t think they’re cheaper but I have some lying around!)

Oh, that would be a great thing to test!!

@moosedawg71 3 жыл бұрын

If Silhouette's foil is pressure reactive it should. I don't know much about the Silhouette's, but if the tip you use needs to be plugged in like the Foil Quill, it won't work because you need heat.

@@moosedawg71 I did give it a go and it works but definitely not as well as the cricut foil

@traceybartlam5940 3 жыл бұрын

Weirdly I didn’t think it would work as We R is heat vs transfer however I tried it on a scrap of Pearl cardstock as I have a pack and it did work!! It wasn’t as good as the Cricut result but the results were decent with the fine tip for text. Don’t ask me why or how it worked but I plan to trial again

We had the same thought too! We we're pretty shocked as well that it even worked lol!

Becca I actually tried using my Gina K foil thinking it felt the same as the Cricut foil. I was sad when it did not work because I found I also did not realize how much mind, deco foil, and gina k foil I had stock piled! I have a lot to use up.lol

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 жыл бұрын

Oh no! So glad you figured out the issue though!

@moosedawg71 3 жыл бұрын

Because GinaK foil/DecoFoil needs an adhesive to work. Nothing but a pressure reactive foil is going to work with the Cricut Foil System.

@katherinerolla29 3 жыл бұрын

What kind of tape are you using to secure the foil pieces to the cardstock?

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 жыл бұрын

Tape came with it! But if you run out, use Washi tape :)

@brandihardman8886 3 жыл бұрын

So any of the foil such as deco foil that require toner ink to transfer dont work. However I watched a different person demo and she used glimmer foil, and it worked very well. Almost identical to the cricut foil. Glimmer foil uses heat and pressure but has a different adhesion process that it doesnt require toner. I have tons of this lieing around because I am a crafty hoarder. I look forward to testing this out myself. Something else to think about and try.

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 жыл бұрын

Oh yay!! Can't wait for you to be able to use all of that foil!

@moosedawg71 3 жыл бұрын

I'm surprised that it worked as I thought it needed heat too. Does it flake off at all due to not having the heat to "burn" it in?

@moosedawg71 3 жыл бұрын

As long as it only needs pressure, it should work. Although most of them out there like DecoFoil (which needs an adhesive) or Mink/Glimmer/WRMK (which need heat) won't work with just pressure.
