It has been ever so long since I did foiling, thanks for the reminder and new product info. Time to take it up again...I have some supplies still. :) Something you might not have tried are the foil sheets and rolls for laser printing. As they are normally used once and tossed, they aren't as expensive as the ones made specifically for crafting foils, but they work just as nicely and come in a variety of colors and patterns also. Just google 'laser foil' for many more options. Blessings!

That's interesting, Chrissie. The last time foiling was in style, I wasn't interested. I think that the laser foil may be the Thermoweb and that is what I use in this class. I've done a good bit of experimenting on the Minc machine and a laminator as well. Check out my YouTube channel. None of the Minc videos are in this class. Thanks for commenting!

I didn't use a laser printer, the glues work for the foils made for thermal foiling nicely as well.
Diana Trout
Yes, Chrissie. That is exactly the content of the class: sticky stuff and lots of different ways to use it. But I do have a Minc machine and laminator that I use with laser prints (thermal foiling). Do you have a website or blog where I can see what you are doing? You can share on my FB page. https://www.facebook.com/Diana-Trout-116715678373388/?ref=hl

No, sorry, I don't and at the moment, crafting of most any kind isn't a possibility for me. I am healing from a broken wrist/hand and pelvis from a fall on black ice. So, I have the time to watch others and learn some new tips an techniques and be reminded of things I used to use - and in some cases still have supplies for such as for foiling. at some point, I will add it to my work again. Thanks and Blessings!
