I love foils and the look of hot foil is spectacular. The card with the bold letters and turquoise foil is a definite wow!! Your creativity sparks me to use my own small stock of foils. Thank you Therese. ❤️🇨🇦❤️🥰

[maryannp]

love the foil with the paper inlay. getting even more from your supplies!!!

[ardyth]

GENIUS! What a great way to get more from your dies and your hot foil!

[lindalanges]

That acetate trick is cool! Love both those more male-y cards😄🥰

[pattir]

Just beautiful! I'm not into hot foiling, as I don't have room or the finances right now to do that, but I always enjoy watching you make your projects. Have a great time with your family!

[athomeink]

Love these cards! The foil is just gorgeous!

[honigsassi]

Thank you - love the Crafty Critta products!! I also have a hard time getting my head around why the die doesn't cut but I am definitely going to try this when I get back to Aus and get my craft room set up! being able to use all dies just opens the world of foiling right up!! How on earth did you discover the acetate trick - that is genius right there!!!??

[dolphinlover]

Excellent hack! Thank you. Love Ellen Hutson and Crafty Critta too:)

[CouzCat]

Adding the acetate created an amazing effect. Thanks for the tips

[lissettelong]

Thanks for the tips Therese. The acetate trick is amazing. I will definitely be trying this. Love it. ❤

How have I not seen this before!? Thank you!

[imokaart]

What a briliant hack, thank you for sharing!!! Can't wait to get cracking.

[dizzinese]

This would be the only reason I would ever get a glimmer machine and precisely why I haven’t- I cannot afford to buy all new dies for that when I’m kind of a die fanatic already and have plenty! Thank you, this makes the glimmer machine an option for me where it wasn’t even close before! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!! Fantastic!!!

[ScrappyMim]

so cool! I keep going back and forth on getting a hot foil press. This could make it more worth while.

[sharondipity]

What a great hack! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!

Keep well.

Wuauu thanks for share it with us!! You have saved a lot of money!!! :))

[lindalincks]

Amazing how much difference using the acetate makes!! Thank you for sharing this 😊 I think the green card is my favorite but they are all lovely ❤

[AScrapOfKindness]

My mind can't seem to grasp how it is that the cutting die does not cut through the foil, acetate and/or cardstock. I will definitely try it, though. Thank you for sharing this amazing discovery!

[barbborja]

OMG! That is so cool! I will definitely be trying this very soon. Quick question: Do you need to use a different piece of acetate each time or can you keep using the same one? TFS
