Ok, I have been trying to not get something just because a YouTube video makes it look so good. I even held off on this for awhile because I didn't think I wanted the 12 inch as I am not a bling-type person on my scrapbook pages... BUT I finally caved and got the 6" because I do like bling on my holiday cards. Having been so disappointed a few years ago that my green/red metallic cardstock I used for my Christmas cards shed it's metallic without much manhandling, I decided this was worth a shot. It is! I unboxed it and within a minute or two I was getting fantastic results on every test I ran. Then, because I had ordered the green and red foil, I remade that previous Christmas card using my laser printer, cardstock and embossing folder and it came out fantastic! I tried some masking techniques from the videos and tried some 3d items like candles & bells and it still impresses me! I am happy with the smaller MINC because it takes up less space on my electronics table. Getting the foils on sale cut the cost in half! And now I can get my cards done early!
I purchased the 12" Minc machine shortly after it was released, but I imagine they work much the same. Let me tell you...this is a well made machine. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be as good as it is....AC isn't known for high-quality tools or albums, so I was pleasantly surprised! It heats up quickly, and you are foiling in minutes right out of the box!
Another bonus is it works as a traditional laminator too! (Called AC to check!) I didn't own a heat laminator, so it was perfect for me.
The pre-made items from Heidi are adorable, and pretty well priced, although I'm always trying to get them on sale! ;) As the other reviewer pointed out, it is worth it to purchase a laser printer if you don't have one to make your own goodies. I bought a Brother monochrome laser printer for $90 on Amazon. Well worth it to me, as it's super cheap to print documents, recipes, etc...much cheaper than my photo printer! Another great thing is the toner cartridges are cheap and last forEVA!
Anyway, sorry for rambling, but with my Minc and Silhouette Cameo, I can create pretty much anything I want! BUY it! You won't regret it (mine has a spot on my table with my Cameo ;))
This is a great foiling tool, especially for those venturing into foiling for the first time. I love the compact size of it and the ease of adding a beautiful foil accent to all my cards and scrapbooking projects!
Received my applicator and all the included little goodies and love it! The included items have tiny, tiny printing and it foils perfectly! Haven't had a chance to use it all yet, but I'll get to it! Go for it - you'll love it!
The day I saw a video on this product is the day I went to JoAnns and purchased it! I am totally satisfied and it works beautifully. I love the quality of the foil and all of the wonderful colors. I didn't have an laser printer but it was worth purchasing one so I could make my own projects to foil. Heidi makes wonderful projects that are ready to foil as well. I recently discovered minc sheets also made by Heidi Swapp. These are perfect if you don't own a laser printer. I love my minc machine!!
This would have to be the best scrapbook/crafters tool.
So happy I got the mini minc machine. It was an awesome deal and the kit came with some extra stuff :-)
Great machine!! I use it mainly to decorate my handmade cards. Perfect size for card makers!
Amazing!
I am so thrilled with my mini Minc! When I first plugged it up and turned it on it wouldn't work....BUT the awesome support team at Scrapbook.com emailed me back and said that some of the machines had the power buttons backwards so instead of the "O" being on the "-" is the on setting. So, if you have trouble getting yours to come on try that ;)
