I have been getting a ton of questions and comments about the Cricut Foil Transfer System. Will the Cricut foil work with other Cricut tools? Can you use the scoring stylus to transfer foil? What about the deboss or engraving tips? I am answering all of your questions today!
I am going to use both my Cricut Explore and Maker and a wide variety of tools to attempt to do some foil transfer. With the Explore series, I am using both the scoring stylus and the foil transfer tool as a comparison. With the Maker, I am using the scoring wheel, deboss tip, engraving tip, and foil transfer tool.
Which will transfer foil better? Do you REALLY need the foil transfer tool to work with Cricut foil? We are about to find out!

Great video! Just an FYI for anyone interested, the scoring tool has worked for me to foil with my Explore Air 2, when set to score! I believe in the video Angie set hers to draw, so that's why she had those results, not enough pressure!

I had GREAT results using the scoring STYLUS in my Cricut Maker. It worked both on a single line writing style font and a drawing - both set to Line type = Score. You can set text to score. It worked on a single line writing font and also a free filled in style font I downloaded. Magic. It did not work very well using Line type = Draw. I used Cricut foil and set my material to Deluxe Paper and foiled onto medium cardstock. The filled in font took FOREVER to finish but looked so good. oh and I was using CDS on my ipad...which you can't do with the foil transfer tool.

I used the scoring tool on score option and it worked. I don’t understand why you used it on draw. It wouldn’t press hard enough because it thinks you are using a pen.

@cmb-w 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the experiment! What if you took the experiment one step further and switched to more pressure with the other tools?

@AngieHolden 3 жыл бұрын

Additional pressure does nothing on the scoring stylus as the pressure does not affect that side of the machine. The only one it might work with is the deboss or scoring wheel but remember I said I used the kraft board setting on all of those. That is actually more pressure already then would be required for the cardstock I was using. I was so disappointed that none of them even looked like they were close to working so I quickly gave up!

For the scoring stylus you had the setting to draw. Was scoring letters not available as an option? Draw only touches the paper but scoring would apply pressure. It seems like you were able to score with the scoring wheel and most of it came out nice.

@AngieHolden 3 жыл бұрын

You can't score letters. Either draw or cut. The scoring wheel was also hit or miss.

It won't be great with those. You can use a calligraphy pen and write. Use a metallic one and it should be similar.
