iCraft Deco Foil, 5 Transfer Sheets, 6" x 12", Gold

Works fine

Wowee! GORGEOUS, easy to use foil! *** If you like this stuff DONT buy it in the 5 sheets, you're getting ripped off big time - buy it in the rolls (same company) for much better value! transfer foil as it is all the rage right now & it is no wonder why, the shinier the better right? this stuff is great if you're into arts and crafts. A few tips: this stuff sticks to itself like nothing I've ever seen. You'll be cutting a sheet of it & then realize it's 4 of them stuck together. It's so thin its ridiculous. Another tip is if you're peeling the foil off & notice some spots (that aren't covered) just hit it with your iron until it is. The foil may burn (it just looks more rainbow-like than normal but really cant tell) or may come out sort of textured-like (again, I think this is better than having big black spots). PS: 1st pic demonstrates the "SPA" is burnt foil" & 2nd pic u see how it doesn't really make a big diff (only in a few angles can you tell they're slightly different). 3rd & 4th photos demonstrate burnt foil & the textured foil (burnt happens when overheating & textured happens when foil isn't on well enough, it's moved, then re-heated). 5th pic is all different papers used. Last pic is an ex of when foiling goes perfect. Foiling tips: black laser toner is easiest (& the best), get the smoothest paper you possibly can, make sure you're heating foil to correct temp (too low foil wont stick- too high foil will burn & maybe become textured). Have fun foiling! Hope this helps!

Este foil es excelente, me encanta. He usado otras marcas que incluso me han costado mucho más, pero su calidad en comparacion con este deja mucho que desear. Estoy encantada, y sé que volveré a comprarlo. Con respecto al embalaje tambien quedé muy encantada.

Es pequeño pero trae unas cuantas hojas y queda muy chulo en los proyectos

Just to get this out of the way, the product itself works flawlessly! I get a mirror finish on my greeting cards on the first application and if I pass it through my laminator a second time with regular printer paper covering it, I get a beautiful textured finish on my cards. I've added photos of my very first foil transfers ever (hope they get approved)! So it must be pretty easy if a newbie like me can pull it off.For those who might want to know exactly what I used: My printer is an HP LaserJet Pro M201dw Wireless Monochrome Printer (CF456A#BGJ). I changed my printer settings from Fast res to Pro Res for a smoother print. Speaking of smooth, the card stock I print on is also very smooth to get the best toner/foil coverage. I have been using Hammermill Color Copy Digital Cover Paper which I purchased here on Amazon, it's less than $12 for 250 sheets of super smooth 80lb card stock. I also purchased the AmazonBasics Thermal Laminator for around $20 and use the 5 mil setting as suggested by reviews who also foil using this particular laminator.This was my first time ordering this product and I was quite disappointed to find only 3 out of 5 sheets as described on the listing once it arrived, however I reported the issue and was immediately shipped a proper replacement with all 5 sheets inside. This still means that I will have to find a UPS store to return the first shipment though, otherwise I will be charged twice the amount for less than what I ordered. I looked at a couple previous reviews and see that this has happened to a couple others as well which slightly turns me off from wanting to purchase again from this seller in the future. I really don't want to gamble on whether or not I will get exactly what I ordered, especially when my purpose for purchasing online is because I don't have certain places near enough to me (like UPS).I am giving 4 stars because the actual product is indeed quite wonderful and easy to use, hope I get many uses out of this!

I produced about 100 gift tags using this foil. I loved the consistency of each tag--no gaps or crinkles even on the near-black cardstock I was using.

This foil can be used in different ways -- you do not have to have a laminator to use it. It works with two-way tape (such as Scor-Tape), glue pens and toner sheets without using a laminator. All you need to do is to apply it (with color side up) to your 'sticky' area (when dry if using glue pen) and rub it well with your fingers or a credit card or you can put it through a Big Shot machine or Boutique. Then carefully peel away the foil and you have your foiled design. You can personalize a card with it for a special finishing touch. There are 5 sheets but they are very thin (at first I thought it was just one sheet). You just need to carefully separate them.

Since I just got the laser printer up and running, I haven't used this with that yet but I expect no problems. I have used foil with my lasers since probably the 80s when it was easy to find this type of foil. It was cheaper then and came in a lot more colors and was in 2in wide strips so easier to use, but this should work fine.So far I have used it with an adhesive to add to some mixed media art pieces and it worked great for that. Much cheaper and less messy than the flakes.
