First of all, it is enough to print with a laser printer the chosen pattern. The weight of the paper is relatively high, the thicker it will be, the more resistant it will be. Then cut the shape of the pattern around it well. It is important to indicate that the chosen design must be printed in BLACK.
- Plug in and turn on the Minc.
- Select the temperature between 1 and 5 depending on the paper (4 for almost all scrapbooking paper) and wait until the green light flashes to indicate that Minc is ready.
- Place the metallic foil sheet of the colour of your choice on your pattern (the pretty shiny part upwards).
- Place everything in the transparent transfer film.
- Place the film on the opening and the Minc inner rollers will do the rest.
- Carefully remove the foil sheet from the pattern.
- We already have our design with this special gold finish.
How to use Heidi Swapp's Minc reactive paint?
Minc Reactive Paint has a thicker acrylic paint texture to be used as such. In this way, we can apply it with a brush on a surface and create the shapes, letters or any drawing we think of. Then let it dry completely - you can use the embossing dryer - and with a sheet of foil paper and Minc, you will get what you have painted with this characteristic metallic finish.
The results are spectacular. It is possible to make backgrounds with geometric figures or calligraphic phrases with a brush that, once passed through the machine, will obtain a professional metallic finish. In the latter case, Miinc is opening up a new opportunity to train in calligraphy.
Another option is to use the Minc reactive paint by applying it to pads that we will then use as we would with normal ink. The only difference is that our stamping will be transparent until the paint reacts with the film as it passes through the machine.
