Transferring waste foil to card - using the negative, or plain foil

In this video I show 1 method (there are lots of methods) to transfer a whole piece of foil onto card. This could be the "negative" from something you've foiled using a hot foil stamp or embossing folder (or anything else that leave patterned foil behind), or could just be a piece of unused foil so that you can die cut items from the card that match with what are foiling on your design. I use a thin metal shim with 2 layers of card underneath it, and then 4 or more shims on top of the card I'm foiling - it all depends on how much pressure you need and how tight your die cutting machine is. Pressure needed varies with the card and the foil.

Can I use a household oven set on low?

I have no idea - I use a hot foiling platform so would never try that.

Hi Joanne. I didn't realise how easy this method is to do. This is another thing I have tried in the past that hasn't worked so have been throwing my waste, not anymore. Can you please tell me where I can get the thinner metal shim please I have looked on Amazon but there are so many. Thank you. Wendy

I'm currently using a Tonic Metal Shim they have brought for use when die cutting with their mixed media dies - it seems to be one of the cheapest available. Craft Stash have it here - www.craftstash.co.uk/tonic-studios-media-shim-for-media-dies.html
