Heidi Swapp Minc Foil Applicator & Starter Kit

This does a beautiful job of adding foil to invitations. Just make sure anything that you've printed out is from a laser printer, if not the foil won't stick.

Really fun and useful machine for all my decorating and accessorizing needs--really a game-changer for me. I have added foil to cards, postcards, gift labels, and mini card-stock cards--really adds some flair to my card materials and invitations. I can't wait for Christmas to add some metallic and gold embellishments to my cards!

cool

It's a well built machine--note that it does get pretty hot so if you have children or pets, I would be careful when the Minc is turned on. It only takes around a minute for the machine to heat up and become ready to use--very fast application, and works like a laminator with a rolling wheel to push the paper/foil from one side to the other. The kit comes with gold and silver foil rolls and you could purchase more if you're planning to make a lot of projects in bulk (like invitations, cards, etc.). Highly recommend for card crafters and DIY-ers! Please note that I received this item for free for my unbiased review.

This is a great machine if you need to create wedding decor, cards, and paper crafting with some extra embellishments. It heats the foil very evenly and applications are quick: you can probably foil-ize 10-20 cards in less than 6-7 minutes. It's a great machine! Though, for those who live in smaller spaces: I would recommend investing in this if you are planning to make a ton of foiled paper crafts--if you are planning to only use it once every few months, I would recommend just going to traditional laminator/iron route--it may not apply as easily though. Please note I received this item for free for my unbiased review.

Aesthetically-pleasing design: it's cute with the stripes on the top. It starts up/heats up quickly so you can get to your foil crafting very quickly. Remember that you need to have ink/application designs with a LASER PRINTER, not an ink jet printer. Please note that I received this product for free in exchange for my unbiased review.

Love this machine! I had tried using the foil transfer using a regular laminator, with dismal results. I had it all set to "re-gift" to another crafter. However, after getting the Minc, I LOVE being able to add foil to my designs. This works perfectly.

This is such A CUTE KIT! As someone who usually makes my own cards, I have to say that this Minc Foil Applicator really made my hand-made cards stand out. It was so easy and fun to use. I have to say it is on the expensive side and is worth it if you know you will be using it frequently. Also, with the starter kits you have to use the designs that they give you. You have to buy additional products to be able to create your own designs

Very nice to use with the minc foil, nice and crisp, fast also.

I used this once for foiling transparency for resin insert's and it was awesome, so much better than amazing basics laminator. Then, it never worked again. I bought it in January, it's mid March, I used it once, now it won't even turn on, and it's past return window. Total BS.
