How do you make foil wedding invitations with a cutting machine?

Start by designing your invitation in your cutting machine's software. Keep your foil areas as solid shapes or bold text, because fine lines can tear the foil. Load the card onto a cutting mat, then attach the foil quill or transfer tool to the machine. The machine will heat the tip and press the foil onto the card as it moves along your design. You can layer different foil colours by running the design again with a new sheet of foil. Use smooth, coated card for the cleanest result, as textured paper can leave gaps. Practice on scrap card first to check pressure and speed. You can also combine foiling with a cut-out shape, like a border or a monogram, by running the cut after the foil. Keep the foil sheet taut and flat, and remove it gently. For a professional finish, pair your foiled front with a plain backing card and a simple envelope. This method works well for small batches, and you can make matching place cards or favour tags with the same design.
