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.) 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. 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.

Did you select too much pressure? If you changed your pressure setting to “More,” reduce it. I use “Default” on my Explore and “Less” on my Maker. Is your foil transfer sheet wrinkled? If there are wrinkles or pronounced ripples in the foil, it can rip during transfer. 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? 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

What’s the difference between the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool and the We R Memory Keeper Foil Quill?

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?

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? Cricut just introduced a fun new tool and material — the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool and Foil Transfer Sheets! Cricut sent me a Foil Transfer Kit and some extra transfer sheets in advance so I could test it out and tell you all about it! The best thing about the Cricut Foil is how easy it is to use — within minutes of opening the kit I was able to create a beautiful foiled card. I’ve now made a number of different projects with the foil transfer and I’m excited to show you and tell you everything I’ve learned! You’re going to love this! 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. Learn all about Cricut Foil Transfer and how you can use it to make beautiful and shiny projects with your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker cutting machine!The Cricut Foil Transfer Tool works as a companion to your cutting blade and you’ll need both tools to create intricate designs. The housing units on these tools are not interchangeable despite how similar they look to each other. So, be sure to keep both on hand! 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. Is there tape covering any part of your design area? If so, your sheet can tear when the tool goes over the edge of the material. Move the tape so it does not cover your design area. 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!
