About this deal

Throughout the cut process, Design Space will intuitively prompt you to switch out the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool when needed. It will also eject your mat just enough so that you can remove your used foil and tape in-between steps. No guesswork needed!

Unfortunately, the Foil Transfer tool can only be used with the Desktop version of Design Space. I don’t know why that is, but hopefully one day they will make it compatible with the app as well. What do you think? Are you ready to elevate your creations with stunning foil effects? The Cricut Foil Transfer Kit includes everything you need to get started: Optional: Create reference rectangle for foil; mine is 4 in. wide x 3 in. tall. Use the drawing tool and the Scale option to resize exactly. It’s easy to change between tooltips, too. Simply press the plunger down, remove the tip, insert the new tip, and release the plunger. It’s just like our other tools! Easily switch between different tip sizes with the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool. Using the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool

Create stunningly beautiful invitations, cards or posters with Foil Transfer Paper from Silhouette. The biggest difference between this foil and the Cricut Foil is that it only comes in 6″ rolls, vs the larger 12″ x 12″ sheets that Cricut sells. Depending on the size of the designs you want to foil, it may be easier to use the larger Cricut foil sheets. We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill Heat Reactive Foil Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil is a heat-reactive foil. I didn’t expect this heat reactive foil to work with the Cricut Foil Tip, but it did—beautifully. I used the fine tip for all of these, but the Spellbinders foil went on a bit bolder and I’m not exactly sure why.

Now, just because the Cricut foil tool was meant to work with pressure-sensitive foil doesn’t mean some of these others won’t work. I say, why not put them all to the test! Foil Brands TestedOn the other hand, it’s worth noting that the Foil Quill can be used with a wider range of foil sheets. It’s compatible with both the We R Memory Keepers sheets, and the Cricut sheets – whereas the Cricut tool can only work with Cricut sheets. So it’s worth keeping that in mind, especially if you see a We R Memory Keepers foil sheet that you really like. The Cricut app on my iPad, however, works just fine. The only thing is, I can’t use the foil transfer tool with the app, again super frustrating. Select a lower force and speed. The default settings for Chipboard were Force 7, Speed 5. I got the best results with Force 2, Speed 2. Your settings will differ depending on the materials you’re using. The Cricut Foil Transfer Tool is a nifty little tool that allows you to add foiled details to your craft projects. It literally transfers and fuses coloured foil accents onto the surface of your project. Cool, huh?!

The tape that is included with the sheets can be reused a few times, so don’t throw it away immediately. It’s handy to keep it, just incase you need some extra at any point. Deco Foil is also adhesive reactive. I am not sure why the Minc foil transferred a bit and Deco Foil didn’t transfer at all. Either way, I wouldn’t use either of those options with the Cricut Foil Tip. The foil tool was newly launched in 2020, but you’d be forgiven for thinking there was already one out there. The company We R Memory Keepers make a ‘Foil Quill’, which works with Cricut machines and does a similar job. It’s been out for years and is pretty popular. However, the official Cricut tools offer some significant advantages over it – there’s a detailed comparison towards the end of this article. You might be wondering, can I use the deboss tool instead of the Cricut Foil Transfer tool? Or will the scoring stylus work instead of the foil tool? Since all of these tools work through pressure, it seems like they’d be interchangeable. But unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Select everything else and set it to emboss. This feature will come up once you’ve adjusted these settings. The key difference is how the machines work. The Cricut tool works through pressure, whilst the Foil Quill works through heat. Because of this, the Cricut tool has a few key benefits: Next, we took Design ID #247402 and Design ID #187366 and used them both to write the phrase “when we have each other we have everything.” We wanted the word “everything” to stand out from the rest of the phrase, so this is what we will foil later. We wrote out that word with the cursive design. The thinner font we used to write out the rest of the phrase. Unsurprisingly, the Cricut foil worked perfectly with the Cricut Foil Tip. It was designed to work with the pressure-sensitive tip and I got great results. I love this foil—it’s really shimmery and pretty. Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil

Once the design is finished, eject the mat. Carefully peel the foil away to reveal the transferred design.I bought the gold sheets and the holographic sheets to try initially. You get 5 sheets that are 5.5” x 5.5” squares, so slightly different dimensions than the smaller Cricut sheets and really great if you plan to make square cards. Another bonus, you can use your Michael’s coupons!
