    Love that you keep sticking with it. One thing that might make a difference is to put the top plate and shim on while it is heating. That way you really get your plate, foil, and cardstock heated better.
    Your card came out beautiful.

    Cathy when you do the hinge method, when you take the foil off the paper, if you leave the paper & foil plate taped together you can re-foil if you don’t get good results. Just put a new piece of foil down & it will fill in any missed spots from the first time. As long as you leave the paper & plate taped together it will be in the same position. Just a tip for you.
    This card is GORGEOUS!! That is a stunning plate & I love the Thank You font as well. Together they make a very elegant card. I love it!!
    I’m glad you’re showing your foil learning journey. I’m still hit & miss when I foil. I just got some Hammermill cardstock to try though, so I hope it will help me get better, more consistent resists. Thank you for sharing your time & talents with us Cathy. 🙂

    Beautiful card!! Foiling is not an exact science. Really hard to get an absolutely perfect one. “It’s an imperfect science” I heard someone say.
    I love foiling. My very favorite technique at the moment.
    My tip for the magnet tool: keep the magnet or closed middle of the tool on top. Squeeze together and pick up foil plate. After moving plate to the silicone mat, stop squeezing and the tool opens and the die falls off. Voila! But their new tool is really cool and easier to use. I like the really skinny tape for foiling. Not as much sticky stuff to rip paper.
    Thank you for sharing!!!

    I’ve never had trouble with Spellbinders tape but I haven’t used it for foiling yet. One thing about the hinge method, the idea is to check if the foiling was good, if not, put another piece of foil, or little scrap, if it’s just one section, then lower the hinge back down and repeat the foiling. Since the plate makes an impression you should be able to fit it in the right spot, similar to what you do with dies when they don’t cut completely. Hope that makes sense. Also, you might consider adding a shim when you run the platform through your diecutting machine, especially for a full size plate, and/or running it several times, slowly. Beautiful card!

    Thanks for the video, you made a beautiful card. I am surprised by so many comments that many have not yet tried their glimmer machine. I've had a ball with mine and found that larger plates need more heating time and sometimes a shim as small as a piece of printer paper makes a difference. The best shim I have found is a piece of heat proof acetate (which you can also foil on). I have foiled ribbon too and it has worked every time so far.

  • @kayfurnish8715
    @kayfurnish8715 2 роки тому

    Great video, Cathy! I think the reason you had a couple of spots that didn't foil was because you didn't put the two plates on top before you hit the timer button. Jennifer McGuire always adds the plates before hitting the button and always gets great results. I think that added weight helps the foiling process. Your card still turned out great, though, and anyone would be tickled pink to receive it!

    The hinge, as I remember, is on the foil plate. Especially strip sentiments. You put down paper, the the strip sentiment, attach tape along top edge, then slide the foil underneath the metal piece by lifting it with the hinge.

Just waiting for a little side table to be delivered “Friday the 5th” from FedEx (delivery delayed….guess they are behind…LOL) to put next to my work table so I can put things like the Glimmer plate/Cricut/die cutter next to me and switch them out as needed.

    Your experience getting the sandwich correct is exactly my experience getting the sandwich correct. I really want to master taping it down because I have some foil plates that I want to repeat on the card. But I am not good at that. and it is hard to see where I am putting the plate. Also if I don't tape it down the foil or the plate moves. If I do tape it down the tape rips my card stock. Also, I think it gets hotter as you go so what works for me at one point may not still work 10 minutes later.
    I do love me some foiling and I do use it. But I never feel like I quite have it figured out.
    That design would look great as a second impression using the oval plate or cut down to an oval. But that also never quite works out perfectly for me. I keep trying though.

  • @LittleLaneCraftswithRachel
    @LittleLaneCraftswithRachel 2 роки тому

    Your card came out gorgeous, Cathy! I'm mad about foiling! I've always had a thing for anything shiny! Definitely let your larger plates heat up for longer. I usually do a double heat for background plates. I also add my plastic plates on top when I press the button and let the whole sandwich heat up together. I think running it slowly through the die-cutting machine does make a difference too. Hope you try foiling again soon.

    I can so see this (especially the thank you die) as a gift set. Foil the background, maybe add a little light ink blending in various colors (1 per card) to provide some differentiation and the dimensional thank you. @cathyzielske thank you again for the inspiration!
