TRICKS
TRICKS & TECHNIQUES
• Cut the corners of the Foil
cut-outs to prevent the Foil
corners from curling up
• Slowly roll the Platform
through the Die-Cutting
Machine to ensure an even
foil transfer
• Place your Glimmer Plate
on your Foil and generously
trace an outline on the Foil
using a marker. Cut the
outline out and use it to
avoid stray foil markings
• Be careful where you place
your Platform after running
it through your Die-Cutting
Machine. It is still hot and
can still induce bodily harm
or burn materials on your
workspace. We recommend
to always connect the
platform back into the base.
• Always use your Tweezers to
remove the Glimmer Plates
from the Machine.
• Use the Glimmer Plates as
stamps. Apply inks to the
Glimmer Plates. Roll through
the Die-cutting Machine with
no heating necessary
• Use the hot foil Plates as an
embossing folder. Paper/
material and the Silicone Pad
(provided by your
Die-Cutting Machine).
• Die-cut your hot foil creations.
After you apply Foil, cut it out
with an etched die.
• Ink/stamp up your foil creation
- Foil is an ink-resist material so
feel free to ink and stamp up
your foil creation while leaving
the Foil intact and not covered.
