To cut foils I use the card stock or light card stock option and it cuts beautifully through my metallics. I do wish circuit would include the cut tule on the wrappers, that’ll eliminate sooo many trial and errors.
What setting do you use? I’ve switching mine to custom and adhesive foil but it’s still so difficult to weed it ruins my project. I’ve gone through 3-4 sheets already. 😭 I am making signs and table numbers for my wedding
Short and informative video for using gold foil decals. I like videos that are not to long, so I can get the information I need and on to the project faster. Thank you for your consideration of our time and the hard work you put into the videos.
is there a way to foil on the inside of the acrylic, so the gold face is stuck to the face. I am looking at buying a cricut maker for a project i am building.
It's a thick foil, I don't want to sound condescending it's not my intention, but vinyl is just a different material and you can't really tell any difference except that it's very thin, and you can't just throw it onto say the outside of a windshield. Hope that helps you.
Are you using the adhesive foil as your material in the material settings? One of my first projects was a very very intricate projects with tiny tiny cuts and I used hollagraphic vinyl and I was okay then I used the adhesive foil and again it weeded fine, and tiny tiny pieces. But I had a terrible time months later by not paying attention and didn't hit that I was using glitter vinyl and it was a nightmare but I didn't dream they had so many that tricked you into thinking, yes that's it when gotta make certain it's the absolute same material.
Wow I just read that and it confused me and I wrote it, I didn't hit glitter vinyl and had a time and I use the foil and haven't really had issue, I see a question about the card to transfer to, I can't help I don't understand. I'll say this adhesive foil will go into transfer tape them on to your item you're preparing for vinyl on.
HELP? I am doing something similiar for my friends wedding but I'm doing about 70 coasters. Some details are quite fine so I like to clean and check the blade between each one. I currenlty have it set up to cut multiples on my long mat and it thinks each one is a different material so it pauses between each one and I 'reload' the mat and check the blade. If i don't set it as multiple materials it cuts small bits from every coaster at the same time so if i have to pause it to clean the blade i can't then relaod or all of them would be slightly outalinged. I want it to cut one at the time but cut them all without pausing to "reload" unless i have to pause it and clean the blade. That way only 1 would be ruined instead of all. Do you know if there's a way? I can't find anything on forums or in google search.
LOL. How much would each invitation cost me? A foil for every one and all that time who does it do to go crazy? The foil transfers with any tip even by hand. Up close it looks very ugly.
You made this look way easy lol i swear, every time i start a cricut project, it goes haywire from the get go. my vinyl almost always NEVER goes according to plan. it gets so frustrating
Lovely outcome! I really enjoy your videography, I can't imagine how long it takes to go from idea to upload. I have a Cricut machine as well and while I think this machine works beautifully, I cannot recommend the software that is necessary to use it with. Watching you having to piece back together your beautiful font brings back bad memories ha. I've seen a couple of your foiling videos and was curious, What would you say is the most time efficient way of foiling for you? Is it also your favorite method?
Thank you ☺️ Completely agree about the software. It should do more instead of needing outsourcing software like illustrator and Inkscape. The most efficient way of foiling would be using a heat applicator such as the foil minc. It is much faster than the other methods however I love the designing that goes into using the foil quill. And the results are much better and look very similar to a vintage hot foil press machine. 💕
I have looked through all the questions and answers, but I still don't see what the type of paper being foiled on is. The paper that the foil is being weeded on, not the transfer tape or the acrylic card it is finally placed on. What is the paper on the mat that the foil paper is covering and transferred on. That is not in the description. Is it clear vinyl?
It's just the adhesive gold foil there is no paper under it. The white "paper" that your seeing is just the backing that comes with the foil like that backing on most stickers. Once you remove the front of the excess foil you use the transfer tape to take it off the backing.
What transfer tape do you use? I have the same Adhesive Foil in Champagne by cricut and don’t know whether to just go with cricuts regular transfer tape or stronggrip.
If you use strong grip since it’s got glitter, I’d stick it to my short or pants a few times. It’s soooooo strong that you’ll find without adding fuzz to it? You’ll be peeling so hard trying to remove the tape.
I use freezer paper in acts the same way as cost-efficient it last longer because there's more in the pack and you can get it at your local grocer some Dollar Trees may even sell it
Hello... on 1 role (12x48") you can make 24 - 4x6" sized signs. If you wanted to save foil and condense/separate the "share the love" and hashtag sections, you could get 35 on one role. Hope that helps :)
What do you mean last long there invitations do you think people keep invitation people throw them away. I don't think Ricky would make anything that's going to last for like 3 days
How do you cut small text on an explore air 2? i've been having so much trouble with that! Im not sure if it is the vinyl thickness or just the machine settings. Ive tried all of them
