The Minc Machine

I recently bought a Minc Machine and have been trying all sorts of techniques to get different results.  I have had a lot of learning experiences and have found really two main ways of transferring the reactive foil onto the project

Firstly you can buy the templated card with the toner ink from laser on it and place your foil on it and run it through the Minc


Secondly you can stamp with your embossing ink then emboss with clear powder and use the heat tool minimally as you then need to run it through the Minc.  This option needs the lowest heat setting or it melts too much

There are various other ways of rubbing the foil and other things I have discovered on youtube but mainly embossing and toner are what seem to be the most effective for myself.

Here is a video i highly recommend

and here is an introduction to the Minc Machine

 

Here are some results I have had

These cards have been made with the foiling

Owl Punch

Here are a couple of owl punch creations.  This punch is very versatile and can be adapted for a lot of different looks

Petite Petals & Pansy Punch

I just love this stamp set, here are a few little combos

Box Cards

Here are some gorgeous box cards.  The middle items are attached with clear strips of acetate and a glue dot.  This is a very versatile type of card.  The sentiment is on the back where the strip is attached on plain paper.

Thanks

Here is a pretty tag from the thanks die cut.

Here are some more ideas from pintrest Pintrest Link

First I stamped the grass then I only inked the stem and stamped the stem next.  The petals were stamped separately then cut out and added with  sticky foam to raise it up.  The brown was done the same after that.
