I use my heat press for to get the foil onto the toner! one less tool in the craft room, It works great!!

I've done this but never thought of printing on black cardstock. Great look!!!

[NicoleVScott]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have had these supplies for over a year and couldn't figure out how to put everything together. I just worked along with your tutorial and my first try came out beautifully! Thank you so so so so so SO much!

This was really cool, Karley! I love all the tools you demo.

Fantastic tutorial. I have gathered all supplies in front of me...just need an inkjet toner printer. I feel the investment is so worth it, goodness knows as a card maker, I've spent some money.

My foil gets on the letters but also is spread out on other parts where the sheet was too leaving a shimmery effect that i dont want. How do i get rid of that?

[seismojones]

You don't really need an additional heat source like your laminator. Laser printers have a fuser that bonds the toner to the paper with heat.
The way I've always done this is put the paper back into the printer with the foil on top and print a blank page.

Do you have a recommendation on white cardstock? I see all different suggestions, some conflicting with each other. I want to foil some greeting cards for the holidays but not sure what white cardstock would be thick enough for a greeting card, but can still flow through the laser printer and foil like it should

Are you really using 100 lb cardstock? The one you linked is only 65 lb. I’m having trouble finding a laser printer that will support 110 lb cardstock.

Hello, I'm new to your channel. Love your videos. Would we be able to produce something like this using the Cricut maker 3 with the foil transfer tip? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you

Hi Karley. Are you able to print on thicker (more than 160 gm paper) and run it through Minc? I want to make sure your recommended printer and minc can do it before purchasing.

Hi, thank you for your video. Do you recomend printing your design with a base color that match your foil in case the design has some spots that don't get transfered?

Toner is made of polyester powder, so it becomes a bonding agent when heat is apply and then cool down. Will a heat transfer press(DTF) work instead of a laminator? Thank you

[aprilroseboltiador]

does using an iron works? I don’t have a laminator yet

[fabness]

How would you do this on a course certificate? If I wanted a white card stock, some font in black & some of the wording and details in gold foil?

Advice for canon laser jet settings? I do not have a density option?

[zoeyd]

[jasne]

Can you please give me a link where to buy those pouches for lamination? Thanks

[lauraw]

Hi! Thanks for the video - I can’t find the script font you mentioned. What is the font name, please? Thank you!

[kajallongwani]

Is there any specific type of paper to be used for this? Im planning to use slightly glossy sticker sheet. Will it work?

[bowler]

what about if you dont have a heat machine, is there an alternative way?
