I am excited (as always) for today's video! This is the long awaited how to foil planner stickers at home! I am also going to share with you a FREE printable so you can try this process for yourself and it is just in time for the inauguration in January!
I've been practicing foiling since about Mother's Day this year because that is when Zach bought me my laser printer so these are the tips and tricks that I have. I go back and forth all the time about whether it is worth it to foil at home and totally thing some things are better than others - like these foiled overlays and washi always seem to work better for me than foiling icons. I use a laminator to foil so I'm not sure if the Minc heats to a higher temp to allow the foil to stick better...not sure.
I did by some foils from a few etsy shops that I do know make their foils 'in house' as opposed to outsourcing/mass producing it and have noticed little imperfections here and there so that makes me feel a little better about the troubles I have.
Other notes to mention - you can not use the Foil Quil heat reactive foil for this type of foiling. It is made differently and seems to just react to the heat and not necessarily the toner. I tried with some I found on clearance and there were MANY specs of foil where there was no toner. And I don't mean just a few specs here and there but a significant amount to make the overlays unusable.
There is another brand of foil that I found (listed below) that is reactive to toner + it is much cheaper for more on a roll. This foil is originally designed to work with an adhesive to create T shirts but the foil on its own is reactive to the toner. It is called StarCraft Electra Foil & I got it from 143vinyl.com. It is still in the mail to me so I will update you all when I get it and do more foiling stuff. (+ I have a Foil Quill on the way so keep a look out for that video!) I found the StarCraft Electra Foil by looking very, very closely at a shop Instagram story I found. So the information is out there...ya just have to scour!
I hope you have fun making these and learn a little bit about foiling planner stickers at home!

These look AWESOME ! ❤️❤️❤️ I did read somewhere that the *MINK* has better and more consistent heating elements than an ordinary laminators. Maybe try passing through the laminator in different positions when you can . 😊
Thank you for explaining how to print and cut. This has always puzzled me
This is awesome, I was in the process of creating some stickers for an inauguration spread when Cricut crashed and gave me that awful can't save error message. I just wish I had some rainbow foil.
I wonder if my heatpress would work with this? Just need to find the right temp and pressure
Do I NEED (like a must-have) a laser printer for this?
yes
The foil ended up on my entire printer area! Do you know how I can solve this?
Great video! Do you use Brother toner? Or any of the off brands on Amazon?
I haven't had to purchase toner yet!! I will cross that bridge when it comes. But i'm thinking i will use the brother toner.
Has anyone tried the StarCraft foil yet to see how good it’s gonna work with the toner ink?
I haven’t tried the Starcraft foil in the laminator since I grabbed the minc so I can’t attest BUT if you have a minc it works PERFECT! It’s a bit thicker than the minc foil but is so nice.
@@MoeHoward516 Girl I just got my order 2 days ago!!! I haven’t tried it yet, but my goodness! How beautiful are the foils? And the amount?!?! Holy cow! Lol. I have definitely found my new go to for foil! Thanks to u and ur videos! Ur awesome and so beautifully creative and talented by the way!!
So does the Cricut foil work with a laminator? Or is it useless because it's not heat activated? Is it heat activated? I have no idea, this is all new to me. lol
You have to buy a heat reactor foil like the minc foil or deco foil. Cricut doesn’t sell that type of foil. The foil they have is pressure based.
Plz link laser printer you have 🙏
Just added it to the description! Thank you for reminding me ☺️
