This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut for Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Cricut Foil Transfer System is the easiest way to apply foil to a wide variety of projects! It’s all pressure activated so there’s no heat or extra crazy cords that will slow down your crafting process! Not only does it work for the Cricut Maker machines…it also works for the Explore line of machines!!! Hallelujah!

In this post we are going to share what you get with your Foil Transfer Kit as well as the simple steps on how to use foil with the Cricut Maker.

What comes in the Cricut Foil Transfer System?

The kit comes with the tool housing and three different tips- a fine, medium and bold tip. It also comes with 12 4’’x6’’ silver & gold foil sheets and adhesive tape so you can get crafty right away! You can also buy Foil Transfer Sheet Packs (adhesive tape included) in two sizes 4’’x6’’ (Jewel Sampler) and 12’’x12’’ (Silver/Gold).

Materials you can foil on: The Foil Transfer System can be used on a handful of different materials:

• Cardstock

• Paper

• Kraft Board

• Printable Sticker Paper

• Vinyl

• Photo Paper

• Vellum

• Faux Leather

• …with new materials are being added everyday!

Design Space: Cricut has integrated their Foil Transfer System to work seamlessly with Design Space. Images with a draw type work best with the foil tip. You can now filter through images selecting “draw only” to make it quick and easy to see what images will work best!

We are keeping it easy for our first projects and making a piece of golden moon artwork on kraft board and a sunrise faux leather wrap for a candle. One of our favorite things about foil is it elevates the simplest of projects and suddenly they don’t seem so simple!

HOW TO:

• Find an image on Design Space * Filter through the images – under Art Type click “Draw Only”

• Size your image.

• Use the Linetype pull-down menu and click the foil option, there you can select which tip you want to use (fine, medium or bold).

• Insert the Foil Transfer Tool with the desired tip into Clamp B.

• Move the spinning start wheels to the side so they don’t ruin your foil.

• Place your base material onto a standard grip mat.

• Place the foil shiny side up on top of the material.

• Lay a piece of tape on each side of the foil keeping it as flat as possible. The foil has a bit of static electricity and will be attracted to the tape, we like to try to hold the foil down with our pinkies as we lay the tape down.

• Click “Make it”! The machine will prompt and guide you.

• If your project has multiple steps do not remove the mat after it’s done foiling.

• Carefully peel off the foil and the tape while the mat is still in the machine. Switch out the Foil Transfer Tool with your next tool and continue with the prompts from your machine

We made these two projects in just under a half hour. The hardest part (for Andrew especially) is picking out what image we want to use!

The holidays are going to have a lot more shine this year and we’re super excited about that! Let’s face it, we could all use a little extra sparkle these days!
