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.
