I am hoping to use several different foil colors on the inside of the Valentine's Day cards I am making. Has anyone done this, and do you have any recommendations? I will be using a laminator as opposed to a Minc machine if that makes a difference.

I use a laminator and not a Minc, no problem. You can cut the foil for each section and run it through as usual.

All at once. You place the designs inside a sheet of folded copy paper (whether you use 1 or multiple colors) and if you're careful it will keep the foil from shifting. With multiple foils I have to hold it more as it feeds through, whereas with 1 foil i just feed it in and let it run. I may not need to hold it longer, I just do.

dewryce , remember to let the laminator heat up for at least 20 minutes, sometimes I forget to time it and it's not ready when I foil. Have fun. Hope you will come back and show off your creation.
