recomendations

I would recommend buying Spellbinders hot foils to use with your system. I tried other foils from eBay and they didn’t work as well as expected.

The machine will do great foiling on 240 -300 grams cardstock.

When the material to foil is thinner you can add printer paper or cardstock shims to add more pressure. This will be an experimenting process.

Now let’s see pictures of the papercraft projects in the video…

HOT FOILING DECORATIVE PANELS FOR 3D PROJECTS

Creating Hot Foil Decorative panels for your projects is easy peasy and you can use any hot foil of your preference.

HOT FOILING embellishments, TAGS AND SATIN RIBBON

The glimmer plates offer a combination of images and patterns to add hot foiled accents to your projects.

You can do hot foiling on a wide variery of materials.

For today, I hot foiled white satin ribbon. I needed to 2 extra shims of paper ( each was 210 grams). I got some over foiling that I removed using a Kneaded Putty Rubber.

HOT FOILING TOPPERS

I wanted to do foil over white and dark cardstock to show you the different looks.

Once you foil a piece of plain cardstock you can use it for any part of your project. Even if is a tiny little accent, this foiled piece will do all the difference.
