Hi Everyone! Last week I tested the Recollections brand foil transfer sheets with the Cricut Foil Transfer tool. This week I tried out the foil transfer sheets with the WRMK Foil Quill on my Silhouette Portrait 3 machine.

First I tried the gold foil. I used my celestial artwork from last week and the foil quill medium tip on my favorite black cardstock. On my Portrait 3 my speed is set to 2 and force is 22, I typically get good results foiling with these settings. And I got really great results with this foil!

Next I tried the holographic foil. The results with the Cricut foil transfer tool were disappointing. But the results with the Foil Quill are beautiful! You can actually see the holographic effect on the on the cardstock.

Here’s a side by side of the holographic foil using Cricut Foil Transfer tool versus the Foil Quill. The Foil Quill version is stunning!

This foil is not labeled as being heat sensitive, but it works perfectly! It’s a really great option if you only need a small amount of foil and don’t want to buy an entire roll.

Another Cricut Foil Transfer Sheet Alternative

Hi Everyone! I was browsing the Michael’s website for more foil colors for the Cricut Foil Transfer tool and I came across some foil transfer sheets from Recollections. The foil transfer sheets are described as no heat or tools needed. The packaging instructions instructions recommend using a double sided sticker or adhesive with the foil. There is no mention of them being pressure sensitive, but one of the reviewers mentioned that they work with her Cricut Maker. So I found some at my local store and decided to give them a try.

I bought the gold sheets and the holographic sheets to try initially. You get 5 sheets that are 5.5” x 5.5” squares, so slightly different dimensions than the smaller Cricut sheets and really great if you plan to make square cards. Another bonus, you can use your Michael’s coupons!

I tried one of my new celestial designs with the gold foil on my favorite black cardstock.

I tested all three tips for the foil transfer tool, and they all worked pretty well with this foil. There are still the little spots where it didn’t stick to the cardstock all way. It’s also a little dusty when you remove the foil sheet, but you can carefully lift the foil dust away with some Washi tape or blue painters tape. Overall, the results were pretty similar to the Cricut brand foil.

Next, I tried the holographic foil. It did not transfer as well as the gold foil and it just looks silver, not holographic. Overall, this one was a bit disappointing.

Since the gold worked pretty well, I’m interested to try some of the other colors like rose gold and the multicolor pack. I also plan to test this foil with the WRMK foil quill and my Silhouette Portrait 3 machine.
