This is what my foil transfer card looked like in Cricut Design Space before moving on to the next step:

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. 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! 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 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. See the Cricut Foil Transfer Tool in action as I create two different foil projects in this step-by-step tutorial video:Once your foil transfer sheet is taped, it's time to load your mat into your Cricut to begin the project! STEP 4: SCORE, FOIL, AND CUT OUT YOUR FOIL FEATHER CARD 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!

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. 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?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? 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. My new Mandala Letters are designed specifically to use with the Cricut Foil Transfer Sheets. This is design #240 in my free resource library.

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. 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 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?

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.

Why didn’t my foil transfer smoothly?

No, the Foil linetype is only available on Design Space for Desktop, just like the Knife blade. So you won’t be able to choose the Foil linetype on iOS or Android versions, nor will you be able to see foil-specific projects there. What materials can I use with the Cricut foil transfer sheets?
