Foiling Technique #2: Toner Copy & Laminator

Of all the foiling techniques I'm going to share, this is the one with the most precise results.  Foiling with a toner copy and a laminator gets you results like you would see on mass produced products — greeting cards, scrapbook supplies, etc.  Watch the video for the how-to:

Supplies

Please note: The transfer foil I used is from a company that no longer seems to be doing business.  I have provided some alternative suggestions in the supply list above.  Also the Purple Cows laminator that I used no longer seems to be manufactured.  In the supply list above I've provided a link to an alternative hot laminator.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Oh the possibilities!!! Do you know where I’d be able to find the large transfer foil rolls like you used in the video? I’ve found smaller 4″ rolls and larger rolls for fabric, but can’t find ones like yours.
    Many thanks!!

  • This is great, Have you ever tried the print that comes off Scan and Cut machine to use instead of a toner copy? I have not tried it but I do know that the ink from the Scan and Cut draw function does work somewhat differently than printed ink from a printer, i.e. you can color over the lines and the lines will not bleed like ink from a ink jet printer does, so I will try this and see if it works.
