THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! This is the 1st time I have been able to watch a video (easily enjoyed), sign up and get the svg and easily follow the steps and it not take hrs of digging and what not. I really appreciate you and the time you took to make this video.
OMG!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you a million times. You just saved me. Im doing a sweet 16 invite with foil and the only font I like was not a writing font. Bless you!!!!
Hi there ! Loved video and eager to try it out . But ran into an issue when unzipping the file does not let me extract the file much less uploaded. It says file unsupported. Worrying on a MacBook . What I’m i doing wrong ?
Hey...new sub here!! I downloaded the fill text svg...but my foil is still not transferring all the way, its patchy or really nothing. Is there such a thing of text being too small to foil?
It wont let me slice. Im not sure what Im doing wrong. I followed your instructions to the T but the slice function doesnt show up. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for this awesome video! I got a little ambitious and tried a fine foil and a medium foil with the hatch-fill hack for one of my fonts. The medium pressure didn’t seem to take to the foil as well on my card stock. Any suggestions? Thank you!!
Thankyou super useful! Ive been wondering if this does fills! (after i ordered one! Whoops!) Also I love how you use a letterboard for your video title in the background!
will those lines also work to fill in a drawing...? so instead of an outline of a flower, will the lines make the flower look filled in? Do the lines need to be changed to drawing instead of cut? haha so many questions! thanks :-)
I want to know how the foil kit actually works. Does the maker cut the letters in the foil and stick it on the card? Are you able to use big letters or does the design need to be small.
Corrine - I’m having a hard time w the file. It keeps saying “unsupported”format. I know it is a .svg as I tried re-saving It in Corel draw and having same issue. Suggestions? So excited to try my foil tool and boo filling in letters not working...
Is there a way to put the foil on top of permanent vinyl? I have the we r memory keepers foil quill tool and would like to be able to do this onto vinyl then transfer it onto a piece of wood.
I was starting to think it wasn't possible to fill in foil text, so thank you so much for this! I've downloaded your SVG file and applied it to my cursive text in design space, but in the process it has actually erased a few places along the word and some parts have tiny lines jutting out where they shouldn't be...any idea if we can go in manually and add in/erase lines? Any tips are appreciated!
Cricut updates have made this a little more annoying. Duplicate your word. slant the line svg and duplicate it. turn that line the opposite direction. Then slice the words from each line svg then center them
@@CorinneBlackstone Hi, so just to check I am doing this correctly, if you rotate the lines by 90, or 45 and 135 for the duplicate, then weld those lines, and then slice the word with the welded lines, will that work?
I store my fonts on an external hard drive so I am not tying up space on my computer. Can I get this to work with that drive? Thank you for your tutorials
@@CorinneBlackstone I understand that. Just wondering if when my EasyStore is plugged in if my fonts on that will pop onto this site? Or do I need to move them to my computer hard drive?
@@surgicaltechcrafter2169 unless the fonts are installed in your computer this site won't pull up those fonts. Your computer isn't pulling the fonts from the hard drive either. Its pulling them from the computer itself
Wonderful idea, would love to try it, went to your website and joined, got email, confirmed, went and created an user name and password... password was saved. Treid to log in, but I can not get on the member area for the free svgs. Is it me or is something messed up with the website? Anxious to give this a whirl. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for sharing this! Is there any help you can provide me when it comes to processing time? Every time I go to print my foil with the hatched lines, it takes over 10 minutes to process (if not longer). I have about 50 envelopes to print addresses and return address on and dont want to spend over 20 minutes processing the prints for each card
It’s a cricut issue. Design space is a pretty awful program. You can try to weld your entire design and see if that helps but design space is just slow
The html file is an SVG file. It does this because you don’t have a default vector program selected on your computer. You need to make sure that you have unzipped the file and then use the html file to load into design space. I just checked this file a couple days ago and it works perfectly
I just got the foil kit and I'm not really having much success with words I'm trying to foil for a card :( I've pulled the foil tight so there are no wrinkles, I'm using medium cardstock (doesn't have much texture to it) and the foil just isn't transferring well like I'm seeing on RUclips :( any troubleshooting tips? Should I use a more textured cardstock?
@@CorinneBlackstone Thank you! I'm starting to think that as well because I've noticed it's 50/50 with people online who are having no issues at all vs people who are having the exact same issue as I am. Perhaps there should be a recall on some of the foiling tools that were sold out there. I'll definitely try contacting them, thank you for your response! :)
@@andreacristina2409 Ya, it honestly drove me nuts! I called cricut customer service though and they sent me a new one, which works betterrrrr but not 100% still. You should try calling them!
I didn’t fully understand when you said something about Cricut changed the weld, so you don’t have to weld somethings and then you picked up a template from your download, is there a video about that update? I have been using my cricut explore for several years and would like to know more about this ... thank you
Yes. You will always see the lines. If you are making wedding invitations this is 100% not the way to go. It will take you a million years like this. Look at my foiling on cardstock videos for better ways to do this
Thank you so much for this! I managed to get this to work perfectly twice and now when I slice it'll miss out thinner parts of the font (the same font and size from the first two times). Anything I need to make sure I'm doing?
I can't even get the foil transfer tool to work with single line designs, much less an entire fill-in. My results are awful & I think it has something to do with the latest update. The pressure applied seems to be much less than before, even with the same settings (this goes for my blades as well). I've had to jack up the pressure for everything.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! This is the 1st time I have been able to watch a video (easily enjoyed), sign up and get the svg and easily follow the steps and it not take hrs of digging and what not. I really appreciate you and the time you took to make this video.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CORINNE!! You saved more grey hair!! Great video and download. Thanks again!

Thank yoooou! Super useful SVG and walkthrough!
You are a lifesaver! im doing my wedding invitations and your free SVG saved me so much time! Thank you
Hello, I do everything in the same way, however, while selecting both - text and "lines" option to slice is not active. What can be the problem?
You are selecting too many items. You can only select two layers. Be sure your words are welded as one layer
this is gold. you're genuis. thanks.
Hey...new sub here!! I downloaded the fill text svg...but my foil is still not transferring all the way, its patchy or really nothing. Is there such a thing of text being too small to foil?
Yes it could be too small but also the smoother the paper the tighter the foil the better as well
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing! I guess this is not working on Maker 3? I've tried and it bounces back to "outline" cut once I choose foil again. Any tips?
I haven’t had any issues at all. Try making sure you have foil selected when you slice maybe? I’m not sure I do the exact same steps and it works fine
Sorry but how do I find your free hatching SVG? I had a look on your website but cannot locate it?
It’s in the members only section under free svgs
Can I use this on my Cricut Joy?
Yes you can you just need the correct foil tool since that one is smaller
@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks for your prompt reply. I have just recently bought the Joy foil tool and just getting the hang of it.
It wont let me slice. Im not sure what Im doing wrong. I followed your instructions to the T but the slice function doesnt show up. What am I doing wrong?
You are likely selecting more than two lines on the layers tab.
Thank you so much, what a brilliant tutorial and thank you for the shared copy!! From Poole Dorset.
thank you for sharing!! fantastic smart idea you have come up with!!!!

Honestly the foil tool is finicky the fine point seems to wit the best for all designs
Thankyou super useful! Ive been wondering if this does fills! (after i ordered one! Whoops!)

Thank you! You made it look easy!
You explain things really well....thanks

Yes it works for the drawing and engraving features. And yes they need to be changed to draw :)
@corinneblackstone please could you share a link to your page for 'the lines' I can't find it on your webpage.
You have to be a member of the page and its under members only SVGs
Hello! I joined your website but I don't see the lines svg anywhere. Would you be able to point me with a link?
Under members only and fill text SVG
@@CorinneBlackstone Thank you!
Hi I wanted to try this but can't seem to access the free svg of the lines. Do you have an updated file? Thanks
I just checked the SVG works just fine. Make sure you unzip the file
PLEASE HELP, we are stuck at 5:24 of the video. Where do you get the "LINE" from? I see it's already preloaded in your selection.
It’s linked in the video description. You can find it at corinneblackstone.com under free svgs
Very nice!!
Thanks for sharing!
Sorry! I put your free svg line 01 but i can t cut slice it....Why???
Because you need to make sure whatever you want to slice out of the lines SVG is welded
@@CorinneBlackstone thanks Sorry but candlewriting if I put the line svg and then cut the letter Is half... I lost a part of the letter... Why??
I tried this using the bold tip and it ripped the foil to shreds during the process. Any recommendations?
Be sure the foil is a tight as possible and use a lighter setting
Can you use cricut maker 3 for this ?
Yes this works on all machines but the joy
I want to know how the foil kit actually works. Does the maker cut the letters in the foil and stick it on the card? Are you able to use big letters or does the design need to be small.
You can go as big as you want and it’s a pressure sensitive foil it doesn’t cut the foil it just presses it into the paper
Thank you so much!!
How do you create the box? Did you do it by Inkscape?
The lines? I created them myself.
Corrine - I’m having a hard time w the file. It keeps saying “unsupported”format. I know it is a .svg as I tried re-saving It in Corel draw and having same issue. Suggestions? So excited to try my foil tool and boo filling in letters not working...
You have to unzip the file
Thank you! Great instructions!
Is there a way to put the foil on top of permanent vinyl? I have the we r memory keepers foil quill tool and would like to be able to do this onto vinyl then transfer it onto a piece of wood.
No. The vinyl is made to repel things like this. The foil quill also adds heat which will damage your vinyl
Thank you 😊
Can you use the explorer 2 for this?
Yes
Question: I tried to do more than one word and it has lines linking thes words together. Does it only allow one word at a time?
It works best one work at a time
I can’t find the svg!!

This doesn't work for me, could it be because of the software updates or user error? ;) I just set up my Cricut tonight. :)
Possibly both honestly. At this point design space is just being an absolute pain in the butt! They are “working on it”

Make sure you have the foil tool seated correctly in the holder. if its still not working it may be faulty and I Would contact Cricut.

@@littleashley-j yeah I noticed too some people having issues. It’s frustrating for sure!
I just got my foil kit and had the same issues. I don't like how it foils at all. I tried it on cardstock and it didnt transfer all the way.
@@andreacristina2409 Ya, it honestly drove me nuts! I called cricut customer service though and they sent me a new one, which works betterrrrr but not 100% still. You should try calling them!
Tried every step several times but can’t make Slice function to work😞 Any tips on that?
Make sure you are only trying to slice two items. You may need to weld your words or images
@@CorinneBlackstone thanks! I will see if this works.
Thank you for all of the great tips. I recently purchased the foiling tool and am looking forward to trying it out
Might be a dumb question but does anyone know if i can use AMagic Textile Foils by K Laser with this tool?
If they are pressure sensitive foils they work but if they need an adhesive to adhere they will not work
I didn’t fully understand when you said something about Cricut changed the weld, so you don’t have to weld somethings and then you picked up a template from your download, is there a video about that update? I have been using my cricut explore for several years and would like to know more about this ... thank you
You used to have to weld words to slice them. No matter what words you used or what font. Now however you dont have to do that
Can you see the lines in the foil? I’m making wedding invitations and am concerned with being able to see the lines.
Yes. You will always see the lines. If you are making wedding invitations this is 100% not the way to go. It will take you a million years like this. Look at my foiling on cardstock videos for better ways to do this
What a beautiful idea. I want to try the foils so bad! They look fun. Will the foil rub off or will it stay without sealing it? Love your videos! XOXO
They stay on pretty well. I think if you really tried to take it off it will come off but under normal wear they hold up
Thank you so much for this! I managed to get this to work perfectly twice and now when I slice it'll miss out thinner parts of the font (the same font and size from the first two times). Anything I need to make sure I'm doing?
Try using the classic canvas mode. Design space has done updates and it’s really messed up a lot of stuff
I can't even get the foil transfer tool to work with single line designs, much less an entire fill-in. My results are awful & I think it has something to do with the latest update. The pressure applied seems to be much less than before, even with the same settings (this goes for my blades as well). I've had to jack up the pressure for everything.
Be sure to reach out to crixut directly about these issues

You can only select two items. Be sure your design is welded
@@CorinneBlackstone I see- it’s not giving me the weld option either . Let me take another look
@@melanieflowers7950 make sure tour design is set to cut
