Hi L.D.

Great question! The Foil Quill comes with 4 different pen adaptors, 1 of which is for a Cricut Maker or Cricut Explore. Unfortunately since the Joy is such a tiny machine, they had to redo the housing for the pen and blade holder and make it smaller. Unfortunately that means that the Foil Quill doesn’t work with it at this time. Hopefully We R Memory Keepers will come out with a housing that works for the Joy!

Best Wishes,

I was wondering if these We R Memory Keepers Foil Quills can be used on the new Cricut Joy?
The Joy uses pen markers and thereform it’s housing should be able to support these foil quils. I’m not sure though which is why I’m asking if this is indeed possible?

Thanks.

Hi Courtney,

Great question. You can definitely foil small images (just change the linetype of your image to draw and size it to whatever size you would like it to be). There isn’t a way to color it in though. However We R Memory Keepers now has a foil quill pen that you could try using to color in by hand. I don’t know if it would give it a solid look but might be worth a try. You an find the pen here: https://amzn.to/2RbmpMJ

Hi Rachel,

Absolutely! You can definitely use your Foil Quill on sticker paper. Cricut makes some great printable vinyl and printable sticker paper. It can be found here: http://shrsl.com/22k4b

Hi Marcie,

Great question. I haven’t actually used one of the Foil Quill usb drives myself yet, however I believe that you put the USB into your computer, save the designs and then upload them into Design Space. You would then set the linetype to draw and have your Foil Quill draw them. I hope this helps!

Hi Laura,

Great question! You absolutely can. The foil quill uses the draw function to draw a design, to cut you want to use the cut function. So let’s say I wanted to do a gift tag with a snowflake on it. In design space I would pick the shape for my gift tag and make sure the linetype was set to cut, then I would find a snowflake design and change the linetype to draw. Next I would place my snowflake on top of the gift tag where I wanted it placed, select both the gift tag and the snowflake and click the attach button. This will have your foil quill draw the snowflake and then your fine tip blade cut the gift tag out of paper. Does that make sense? Let me know if you have questions!

Best Wishes,

Crystal

Hi JJ,

Thank you so much for visiting and for your question! The foil definitely will not “bleed” through to the back of your invitation. Depending on the thickness of your cardstock and the pressure you are using you also should not be able to see the indents from the foil quill on the back of your cardstock (unless you used a really high pressure setting). Wedding invitations would be a great DIY with the foil quill and Cricut! Congrats on your wedding!

Best Wishes,

Crystal

I’m just wondering if the foiling process affects the other side of the material you’re working with? Specifically I’m thinking of card stock as I’m hoping to foil my wedding invites to save money on printing costs. I just don’t want to damage the important information on the other side of the paper.

Thanks!
