Foiling the waste! 

Thank you for sharing this technique.

I really enjoy your videos of the foiling. I purchased the Gemini foiling machine 2 months ago and then saw your videos and watch them over again many times. I just realized I have a Laminator so will try with that too. I hail from South Yorkshire in the UK and I am a lonely crafter, and so enjoy watching video's for hints and tips. Off now to watch another of yours I found and then to turn on my Gemini's. Many thanks for sharing with us all. Take care Dorothy

Nancy, you have 13,5K subscribers!! The 14K are approaching. You rock 🤘

WOW!! What an informative video! You showed in an earlier video how to use the waste using the Gemini (which I did try) but this is so much easier & by using the toner sheets you can double foil which I didn't know. I think this is why your new subscribers (like me) are growing...we search RU-vid for help with our new foiling machines & when we find you...well all I can say is" done deal"..you're the best!! Keep them coming..I just binge watched :)

Thanks for reminding me how to double foil. This is a good reminder video.

Just found your video. Thanks for a great tutorial ! I use my HP Laserjet to make toner sheets.

This is the best video I’ve watched in a long time! Sure did learn a lot here!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

BRILLIANT THANKS X

I love the way you showed us to use our left over foil. Thank you for sharing. God bless youn.

This is one of the most informative videos I have seen. Many tell you to not throw away your foil scraps but no one has show us what to do with them and how to do it! You are awesome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

May I share....I used a magic cleaning eraser and cleaned one of carrier folders that I had a lot of over- foiling on. Very easy!

I just find you. Thank you for the demo and sharing. I have mica by AG.

Hi Nancy, Loved Loved Loved your foiling crafty tutorial Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Share I really appreciated all your very helpful tips Love to all Lin 👌💞🦋🐕

And bdw.thank you for all your great videos 🥰👍

Nancy that is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.

So many great tips!! Thank you so much! I’m like you, I hate when it doesn’t foil completely and evenly!

Brilliant video, Nancy! 💖

Absolutely the best information that I have received in along time. When to a big crop and took a class where we used foil, the gals were throwing out foil sheets, ugg, I hit the trash bins! I love to be creative, but love to save my bucks for something I really need. THANKS NANCY, you are a gem!💜🤗

Use the hot foil first since it's heat activated and going to stick anyway, then use the toner foil as the second layer of foil since it will only stick to the visible toner.

This popped up so I watched it, this makes me want to learn foiling!! I think what you did was very beautiful and the fact you were able to get your money worth out of the products - wow !!! I am now a new sub!!

I love it Nancy! Thank you. I bought the xyron glaminator and I have been trying it out, like it. You gave me so much great ideas. Thank you again

Perfect video..thanks

Thanks. Learned something.

Thank you No more waste

I loved this video. I am brand new to foiling. I am anticipating the arrival of my Gemini foil press!! I noticed that you said you can use a glue pen to fix the dust marks after you have foiled. Do you have any videos showing this? Or do you have any on Foiling Snobs?? Thank you!

It’s important to take care of your leftover foil to avoid creases and and scratches as it has a direct effect on the quality of the project when using it again. Thanks for your tips.

I have been saving my scrap foil ever since I started foiling, The full negative sheets with patterns I use for making new backgrounds and then in the black I ad a contrasting colour of foil. All the little scrap pieces I use for adding foil to texture paste etc for a more grungy look. ;) I forgot to thank you for the duster tip. I always asked myself why the foil didn't stick every now and then.

Thank you for this video - I was wondering if I could use toner sheets with the hot foil :)

I have a piece of cardstock in the carrier so i dont mess up... keep the carrier clean...

I learned so much. Thank you 😊 😊😊

Love the pink die cuts! So many little pieces of foil can be used with die cuts. Great tip! TFS!

Thank you for your video. I haven’t done foiling in a crafty sense (only on certificates at work about 30+ years ago) and now that I’ve seen this video, I am encouraged to give it a try. Thank you again. Happy New Year!!

I tried this technique some years back when I first got my foiling machine, but sadly I don't like how the foil dulls when u do the second layer. Such a shame, as it is a super cool way of using up what would normally be wasted. But if you don't mind the satin look on the 1st foil, after you have put the 2nd foil on, then it's all good. Really good to see this being put out there again as it has been a good few years since I got the original foiling machine to come on the market and it was shown this technique then. All the best, Diane UK xx

I went to Staples and asked to have them print entire sheets of white card stock with their laser printer. They only charged 11 cents for each printed sheet. Now I used them with dies and then foiled them.

thank you for a great video i have just ordered a foiling machine

So glad to have found this video! I just got a Glimmer machine from Santa and hated to throw away the waste. Today I got my toner sheets and used your method with my Royal Sovereign laminator. Worked perfectly!

Fabulous recycling 😘

Thank you for sharing this info. I have a minc and foils but I have never tried it out. I guess I need some toner sheets before I try it. But this was great info. Thank you 😊

Where do I get the foilsbles toner sheets. I checked Amazon and they had icrsft deco foil peel n stick toner sheets. I’m not sure the quality. Thanks Great video.😊

Because of this video...I'm getting into foiling now. Before, the "waste" just frustrated me. Lol. Thanks!

Super helpful, i bought some hot foil but i dont have a machine to use it with so now i can use toner sheets which i do have but didnt know what to do with them! Thank you so much!

What are you using to dust the folders and foils? Great helpful video!

very clever!!!

I bought the special plate to allow me to foil leftovers on the Go Press & Foil machine, but find it very awkward. I also have a Minc laminator and will definitely switch to using my leftovers this way. Great job. I always learn so much when I watch your videos. Thank you.

26:17 : you said you were putting hot foul over Minc foil. If that was right, is that why it didn’t work?

I bought the minc when it first came out. I do not have a laser printer and I am so happy to see that there are toner sheets! Just bought some! I will be buying the Gemini foiling machine after Christmas.

Nancy, wiith CVS retiring, have you found another source for solid toner sheets that you like?

Very useful to me! Thanks!

So I take it that waste only refoils over toner paper? Can't use like purple foil cardstock?

What is the little duster called and where can we purchase it. Thank you

I use file folders from the Dollar Store to store foil waste separate from leftover cut foil. Both stay neatly flat and smooth.

On double foiling, why can't you do it all @ once?

Had no idea there were two difference kinds of foil. guess I'll learn by trial and error. I don't think anyone has said there were two different kinds of foil.

I'm unfamiliar with the green dusting pad. What is it called and where can I get one?

Can't you just print a sheet of toner from a laser printer? Just asking....

But the hotfoil does not need the expensive tonersheet, does it? Can't u just stick that on a paper sheet as it already got glue on it and run it through the laminator ? Or do i misunderstand! And thx so much 4 all your awsome videos, u learn soooooo much from you! 👍 💋

What is the name of the green sponge to remove dust

If you have a foil with adhesive built in, it won't normally stick and be "messy" if you use it for the second layer of the double foiling? (like that gold starburst foil did) Why not?

You can also do the opposite with leftover toner sheets. After i cut shapes on my cameo i use the negative space sheet and foil it then die cut with it

Thanks for an AWESOME video!! You mentioned 2 way glue to fix spots, does that need the heat after?? Could you show it?? Just learning foil and I love it

I can’t seem to find the toner sheets you are using- can you or someone watching direct me? Thank you for the valuable information!!!

Is the carrier sheet the same as transfer sheet? Can you use paper instead to put foil into it ?

Can you please tell me if you can get the toner sheets in A4 size?

I have been using this method ever since you advised me a while ago. So glad you have bought out an informative video for everyone xx

You mentioned that you could go back in with a glue pen. Is there a certain kind that you prefer?

Could you please let me know what the green tool you’re using is? I assume it’s anti-static? Thank you. :)

This is very helpful to know. TFS.

This video had a lot of great information. What is the green duster you are using? Its not listed in the description. Thank you!!

I threw so much minc foil away making my son's wedding invitations, now breaks my heart to think of all the wasted foil that went in the bin.

A big thank you Nancy for sharing this information. I bought a bunch of foil for nail art purposes but since I don't do my nails anymore I wanted to find a way to use them. This is the answer! Also, you are the only one who I came across who made a video explaining that there are TWO types of foils. I was going nuts trying to use the nail art foil, which is the hot foil type, with an iron. Foil was everywhere on the paper, so I bought a laminator only to have the same results. Well, with this method you saved my sanity and day. Thank you!

Hi Nancy, I am wanting to get into die cutting, what machine would you recommend for a beginner please. I have the minc and want to start making cards away from cricut machine. thank you.

What about on acetate or something you can put in resin?

Thank you sooo much.. I bought foil for my granddaughters album but couldnt get into it.. now after seeing this I think I will be foiling everything 😊😊😊

Can I color my toner paper? Like ink blend?

Great video thank you so so so much! What is that cloth you’re using?

What is the green thing you’re using.

Wonderful video! I never thought of double foiling--such a cool idea, and a great way to make your foiling prettier. Thank you so much for sharing this. Have an awesome day! :)

Thank you so much for this informative video. There are so many about foiling but this one was one of the most helpful I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing.

I’m a newbie to foiling I’m so glad I found your channel great tips on sharing thanks

Nancy - thanks for showing us what to do with the foil scraps & foil ! Very useful information! We appreciate you for your wonderful work and your information! 💕

I have three rolls of foil bought I don't remember how long ago. I wasn't happy with the results and there is stayed gathering dust (not literally as it's in a plastic tube). I've no idea if they are hot or not but I am gonna get me some of those toner sheets and start die cutting. Thank you! PS I must remember to take the waste plastic off!!

Which hot foil machine to you prefer???

And then what do you do with them after all that?

So glad you shared this video. I was wondering if doing what you did would be possible. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

Thanks for this,I wS wondering if the printing shops toner would work.I have already inquired about purchasing toner sheets from them

I will set up a scrap basket for the leftovers.

Can you update the links.not all are working. Ty

oh my - I have a glimmer machine and have a load of scraps .Is the minc the best machine for this - not got a laminator

Is it possible to use the minc dies foiling first .then the second time the sentiment with toner foiling .or just the other way . But to use that together ??

Thank you for this video and some products I wasn't aware of.

Loved this video. You include so much detail and I have learned so much. Thank you!

2 Way pens???? tell me more!

Brilliant re-use and sooooooo much easier as it ALL works AND easy Peasy

Thanks so much..I needed to know what to do with my leftover foil!!

I'm just now getting in to foiling and this was one of the best tutorials I've seen. I have several others you did Nancy and they all are great!

Can I and should I use the minc carrier sheets in my Royal Sovereign laminator?

Fantastic info, thanks for taking the time to show us all these technics.

Thanks for sharing this! Great information and inspiration.

Thank you for this super informative video. I have bee6 saving all my foil scraps and will be trying your technique. I have a Gemini Junior. Can you tell me your sandwich for cutting out dies. You mentioned it in the video but I couldn't catch what you said.

Great video. I have used double sided tape on card stock to use up some of my foils and they came out great. I was wondering if you can put the foil with the adhesive on just plain card stock?
