I am an 80 year old retired Army veteran. Have enjoyed many years of active work, but in the process of discovering new adventures. I came across the Silhouette Cameo, and the 3D Software. Enjoying both very much, but I happened on cards and foil. This I believe is I what I wish to tackle at this time. Thanks for sharing your talent for us newbies. John
Okay, you've finally convinced me to get a laminator. Now that Deco has those toner sheets, and your store offers all of those gorgeous foilable items, I have to have one! :-)
Gina, you make the most beautiful things! Those foiled die cuts are perfectly gorgeous! I did not know you could background-color over toner on a sheet of paper. That is lovely! Best wishes to you in your new store in Greendale, WI! What a beautiful area. Love Milwaukee area and have family there.
I love the look of what you made! I would tackle making Christmas cards and birthday cards with the Deco Foils. I had no idea there's so many different products to use with the Deco Foil! Great video, Gina!
You are so pretty and seem like such a nice person! You are also so creative and run a really successful business! Wow, you have it all! I really enjoy watching your videos!
Will definitely be ordering some of your already printed backgrounds and tags. I used the toner sheets (another brand) in my die cut machine last year at Christmas to run through my minc and love the versatility of it. Thanks for also keeping you dies so reasonably priced!
WOW! What great cards! Gonna have to get some of this to make my Christmas cards this year! I'm always looking for something new that I haven't done before. Thanks so much for this video! Hugs!!
As always, you have knocked it out of the park. Beautiful cards. Thank you. I have the foil etc. I appreciate your ideas for using it. I have to go check out your toner images.
I absolutely love your cards, I enjoy all of your videos, and these are gorgeous, thanks so much, can’t wait to get some of deco foil toner sheets to try these.
Gorgeous cards. I love the ideas of the foilables.With the leftover pieces, I think i'd put them onto the sheets of sticky and fill in the gaps with glitter!! Especially for Christmas cards.Kathleen Mc xx
Always a joy watching you create love everything that you do I had a question about the foilable sheets, how many card fronts can you get out of 1 sheet of the Large Snowflakes set of 4 or how many can I get out of all 4 together?
So beautiful!! I will definitely be doing this for Christmas. I have wondered though why you don't do the weekly RUclips videos anymore? And do you still do the monthly kits? I haven't purchased anything from your store since I purchased the Black Friday kits last year (which I loved and hope you will continue doing??) since I haven't seen you around. TFS!!
I really enjoyed watching this video Gina "WELL DONE". I also watched your video doing different knots/bows which I was most impressed. You are a great demonstrator/teacher again "WELL DONE". How do I get on getting items from you as I leave in New Zealand? This information would be most appreciated and would I be able to have priced in NZ Dollars, please. CHEERS
Lorraine Eason you can check our website under the our retailers tab to see if there are stores near you, otherwise you can order direct. Our prices are in US dollars but there are conversion calculators online that you can use for more accurate amounts.
Beautiful work. I found, however, that foiling over score tape was very fragile and actually started to come off if you handled it too much. I wonder if you had noticed the same problem. I was not alone in that finding, by the way.
I know that you mostly work with paper crafts. I know that Deco Foil works great on laser prints and heat. I have a question about that. I might try it today so I probably will have the answer before you get a chance to get back to me. My question is, If I print on fabric through my laser printer, will the foil behave the same as the laser prints on paper? I want to use that technique and heat it with an iron instead of a lamination machine.
Hi Gina, Do you find the Fiskars trimmer to be accurate with the cuts? So many of the other Fiskars trimmers give me different measurements from top to bottom, but they are the ones with the cutter that you move up and down the groove. Thanks.
I wish someone would develop a "toner ink" that could be used with rubber stamps....just think of how that would expand our horizons! I have some gorgeous stamps I'd love to see in foil. Guess I could print them in VersaFine black ink and take them to copy place to have them laser printed....as our printer is ink jet and that type of ink won't work with foiling.
I love your videos. Would you show me how to use the toner sheets on something I have written in a greeting card. I can’t afford a printer so am interested how a toner sheet works. Sue
I purchased Foil 6 x 8 inch Sheets - Sparkling Silver, Glittering Green and Radiant Red with Storage Pocket can this be used with any designs and run through laminator.?
Great Video...but how did you foil the Merry Christmas. I tried and could not do it. I stamped with regular ink. Is there a special ink. You didn't mention that on the video. Please advise. Thank kyou
The Merry Christmas is a pre-printed Foil-Mates design. They are printed with a commercial grade resin that melts and the foil adheres once it's run through a laminator. :)
After seeing your very beautiful cards, I went out and bought a laminating machine like yours, now I have to find out how to get my messages on the toner paper so I can foil them. please help me with this. Thank you.
You will need to print your messages using a laser printer. Just create your text on your computer and use white copy paper to print on your laser printer. Ink jet printers do not work for foiling. Alternatively, you can use die cut words you might have with toner paper similar to what Gina did with her snowflake and butterfly.
FYI: You really do NOT want to be using the word "putz or as you said putzy" The word Putz is an extremely vulgar foul word in Yiddish. If anyone else understood Yiddish the too would be appalled.
I would highly recommend that you do not use the word "putz" especially on RUclips. It is a foul word in Yiddish. If you would like a further explanation please email me privately.

Thanks so much John! And thank you SO much for your service! XO
Thank you for your service!
I am loving foiling! The Wow factor is kinda like heat embossing. So much fun to see the end result!!
Your bows always look so perfect and pretty. Can you show how you achieve that on a card you make in the future plz? Thank you.
Okay, you've finally convinced me to get a laminator. Now that Deco has those toner sheets, and your store offers all of those gorgeous foilable items, I have to have one! :-)
I didnt know those toner sheets existed until this video! I want a laminator too, now 😁
Do you know if those toner sheets can be cut with a Cricut?
Gina, you make the most beautiful things! Those foiled die cuts are perfectly gorgeous! I did not know you could background-color over toner on a sheet of paper. That is lovely! Best wishes to you in your new store in Greendale, WI! What a beautiful area. Love Milwaukee area and have family there.

That beautiful red foil would look absolutely gorgeous for Christmas paired with the GK Cranberry cardstock!! Lovely!
I just got a Minc a couple of days ago. Thank you for sharing this info. I am new at foiling.
Great video! I love this technique. Just received a laminator as a birthday gift and can't wait to try this.
I'm hooked on foil too! Thank you for continuing to keep the toner design sheets in your store!
Beautiful work. Thanks for being a patient demonstrator so we can get it. : )
That snowflake card is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful tips!
You are so pretty and seem like such a nice person! You are also so creative and run a really successful business! Wow, you have it all! I really enjoy watching your videos!
Awesome! I didn't know you could use the foil without heat. Thanks for sharing!
Will definitely be ordering some of your already printed backgrounds and tags. I used the toner sheets (another brand) in my die cut machine last year at Christmas to run through my minc and love the versatility of it.
Thanks for also keeping you dies so reasonably priced!
Gina - These foil cards are very lovely. Thank you for sharing the tutorial with us. I really like the looks of these .
I haven't used the foils but I am sure now I will be trying something with them for Christmas.
Hey Gina....well, you said it all in one word, "classy"! TFS
Beautiful cards Gina.
WOW! What great cards! Gonna have to get some of this to make my Christmas cards this year! I'm always looking for something new that I haven't done before. Thanks so much for this video! Hugs!!
So beautiful Ms. Gina. I love the cards and you make it look so easy!
Love the way the cards look and it's so easy.
As always, you have knocked it out of the park. Beautiful cards. Thank you. I have the foil etc. I appreciate your ideas for using it. I have to go check out your toner images.

Beautiful Gina!!!
You made it look so easy! Thank you Gina. Love your videos.
You could do a pretty amazing plaid with this technique.
Gorgeous cards. I love the ideas of the foilables.With the leftover pieces, I think i'd put them onto the sheets of sticky and fill in the gaps with glitter!! Especially for Christmas cards.Kathleen Mc xx
Oh more goodies to add to my Wish List! Thanks for another great video tutorial!
gorgeous. I do not have a laminator so these techniques are wonderful.
These cards are stunning!
Gorgeous!! I've been wanting to try the foils but don't have a laminating machine so thank you so much for this demo! :)
The Royal Sovereign that Gina uses is VERY inexpensive....usually between $11 and $16.
Great projects! I may have to try the Scor tape on today!
I hope it will work with the Heidi Swapp foil too.
Gina, so beautiful and simple. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Always a joy watching you create love everything that you do I had a question about the foilable sheets, how many card fronts can you get out of 1 sheet of the Large Snowflakes set of 4 or how many can I get out of all 4 together?
Love the cards and the techniques. Thank you.
Beautiful cards. Want to try both. Thank you
Wonderful! XO
Very pretty ! Nice video.

Deco Foil does have a toner marker. If your rubber stamp isn't too large you could try rubbing the marker all over the stamp.
I love your videos. Would you show me how to use the toner sheets on something I have written in a greeting card. I can’t afford a printer so am interested how a toner sheet works.
Sue
love the cards. Do you sell the toner sheets?
Thank you Gina
Love love love
I purchased Foil 6 x 8 inch Sheets - Sparkling Silver, Glittering Green and Radiant Red with Storage Pocket can this be used with any designs and run through laminator.?
Gina, How do you do the double ribbon bow?
Never mind, I found your Bow Easy Video!!!
Can I use a hot iron? Can't afford a laminator at this time. Your cards are absolutely gorgeous.
Yes
can I stamp messages on toner sheets and foil them?
Great Video...but how did you foil the Merry Christmas. I tried and could not do it. I stamped with regular ink. Is there a special ink. You didn't mention that on the video. Please advise. Thank kyou
The Merry Christmas is a pre-printed Foil-Mates design. They are printed with a commercial grade resin that melts and the foil adheres once it's run through a laminator. :)
Hi Gina, why do I get black spots 🤦🏻♀️ i used decofoil and toner sheets and I still got black spots on my images 🤷🏻♀️ I’m using a laminator
Hi Gina. Love the tutorial. Can I buy the foilable sheets here in the UK?
brot
Brothers can cut
I love your video

Thank you for adding that. I have a laser printer and had no idea that it could be used for foils. Great tip 😊
Does going over the toner sheet image with ink not affect if the foil can adhere to the toner? Thank you!
JoAnn E, yes you can,I have done it.
where can i get the merry christmas greeting please i am in UK
Instead of the credit card could you run it through a die cutting machine ?
Have you used the left over for a card?
Hi Gina can you use WRMK heatwave foil for this technique ?
I am not sure. I haven't tried it so I don't know if it would work the same way or not. I am so sorry!
Can you use punches with the toner paper?
I have...
Sure!! :)
I use washi tape
