Add a little shine by foiling cards on the new Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool

We’re excited to share a new tool for Cricut Joy that is perfect for foiling cards – the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer tool.

If you own a Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker machine, a larger foil tool is already available. Learn more here.

Using the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool

Step One: Transfer

The Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool presses into the foil, leaving a shiny line wherever it has pressed. Make sure your foil is taped tightly across whatever you are foiling onto.

Step Two: Peel

Once the tool has left its mark, follow the prompts in the software. It will instruct you to remove the foil from your project before unloading the mat from your Cricut Joy.

Step Three: Reveal

The reveal is our favorite part! After your first project with the Cricut Joy Foil Transfer Tool, you’ll want to add a little shimmer to everything.
