Cricut 2008727 Foil Transfer Kit, Explore Maker Machines, 3 Tips - fine, Medium & Bold

Product Information

My new Mandala Letters are designed specifically to use with the Cricut Foil Transfer Sheets. This is design #240 in my free resource library. Is your foil transfer sheet wrinkled? If there are wrinkles or pronounced ripples in the foil, it can rip during transfer. Even better, because the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool is fully integrated into Design Space, you can create using all the various line type options. Add a combination of foil, cut, score, write, or other line type options all within the same project on your canvas. Changing tool tips Pfaff & Viking Husqvarna - 2 years parts and labour, 5 years parts guarantee (Excluding 140s and 160s, E10 and E20 models). If your base material the same size or larger than your foil transfer sheet, then there’s no need to cut the sheet first. But if your foil transfer sheet is larger than your base material, trim it down first. You cannot allow the foil transfer sheet to extend beyond the edges of your base material or it will transfer to your cutting mat. Will the foil transfer if tape is covering part of the design?

See the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool in action as I create two different foil projects in this step-by-step tutorial video: I love that the Cricut Foil Transfer is pressure-activated, not heat-activated like the Foil Quill, which means NO heat is involved at all. The Cricut presses the special tool presses down onto the foil sheet, transferring the foil onto your base material. No special adapter is needed — the Foil Transfer Tool fits right in Clamp B of your Explore or Maker. So unlike the Foil Quill, you don’t need another power source. Just your Cricut, the tool, and a foil transfer sheet.And yes, before you ask, you CAN cut and foil in the same project. The Cricut Foil Transfer Tool is fully integrated with Cricut Design Space, which lets you combine multiplelinetypes (draw, score, cut, and foil) all in one project. You can even change the Foil Transfer Tool tip in a single project, combining different sizes. This pretty foil feather card was scored, then foiled, then cut — all in my Cricut!

Any item not in its original condition, is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error Drop the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool into the B clamp and your Cricut machine will implement the exact amount of pressure to transfer the foil from the sheet onto your paper, kraft board, or other base material.See a complete list of materials compatible with the tool. However, the cutting blade and foil tool both utilize the B clamp on your Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore machines. Insert the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool into clamp B on your cutting machine.

Don’t worry if your foil transfer sheet doesn’t like perfectly flat and smooth— a little tugging at the tape line won’t effect the project. The Cricut Foil Transfer Tool uses pressure, not heat, to transfer the foil. The 3-in-1 tool (housing plus 3 tips) is simpler to use than the Foil Quill’s 3 separate tools with cards, and no extra power is needed to use the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool. Also, the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool can use the special Foil linetype in three different sizes, while the Foil Quill relies on the Draw linetype. One other important thing: the Foil Quill requires you to remove the pen adapter from one clamp in a Cricut machine clamp and use one of their special adapters to make the Foil Quill fit (removing the pen adapter voids the warranty for Cricut machines). How do the three tips work on the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool? No. Make sure you do not have tape covering any part of your design area. The tape will not allow the foil to transfer properly, plus the simple act of the foil transfer tool crossing over tape could cause the transfer sheet to tear. Can I use the foil transfer sheets more than once?

Do you have the right size tip in your Foil Transfer Tool? If you tell your Cricut you’re using the bold tip but actually have the fine tip in, you may have an issue with this. Do not let your foil transfer sheet touch your cutting mat — if it does, the foil will come right off onto the adhesive surface of your cutting mat! (Yes, I did it by mistake.)Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you may vary. If you use a textured base material, like a linen texture, wood grain texture, or pebbled texture, it’s harder for the foil to transfer to it smoothly. The smoother the better! Can I use my iPad or phone to do Cricut foil transfers? As well as three tips, the set also includes 12 foil transfer sheets in a variety of colours – ready to use. Simply follow the prompts in Design Space to start giving every idea a foil finish! When your Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2 machine is done, simply peel to reveal your finished project. There are so many different possibilities – cards, invitations, gift boxes, and more! We can’t wait to see what you create. If you use the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool in a project, share it with us! Tag @officialcricut and use #CricutFoilTransfer. If a little foil transfers somewhere you didn’t want it (it happened to me once in a corner — I think I pressed too hard when taking the tape off), just remove it with an eraser. I used a small dollar store eraser and it came right off for me.

Did you remove the foil transfer sheet before cutting? If you’re doing a foil transfer and cut in the same project, be sure to remove the foil transfer sheet before you cut, or it will just cut the transfer sheet. Cricut Design Space will prompt you to do this so you don’t forget. The Foil Transfer Kit comes with three differently-sized tips: Fine, Medium, and Bold, as well as 12 small (4″ x 6″) foil transfer sheets and tape. I love that there are three different tips, so we can choose the size that works best for our projects. I found I liked the Bold Tip the best, unless my design was particularly small and intricate, and then it was great to have the fine and medium tips. This is what my foil transfer card looked like in Cricut Design Space before moving on to the next step: Explore shimmering new possibilities with the Cricut Foil Transfer Kit! The perfect addition to your Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore Air 2, the foil transfer kit makes it easy to give an elegant shine to every project. Be sure to place your foil transfer sheet with the SHINY COLORED side up. On the silver foil transfer sheets, both sides are silver, so put the SHINY side up. Do I have to tape the foil transfer sheet down? What kind of tape do I use?
