- We R Memory Keepers released the Foil Quill heat pens that you can use for handwriting, sketching, tracing stamped images and lettering.
These pens work off of a USB power source and transfer special heat-activated foil on to paper and cardstock.
There are 4 pen widths: Fine, Medium / Standard, Broad and Calligraphy (Chisel). Each heat pen transfers a different amount of foil.
The pen can work on any heat-resistant surface and it works best if the surface is smooth and free of bumps or dips.
Please be sure to observe all safety instructions with this tool. It gets very hot and could burn.
I go over some of the surfaces that you can use to work on with this tool.

Thanks for watching! What projects would (or will you) you use these heat pens on?
I didn't get them. I'm just starting. I just got the Sizzix textured boutique embossing machine. I have made one card. To thank my boyfriend for buying it for me! I was surprised!! I think he got tired of hearing me talk about getting it lol.
I'm also learning brush lettering.
Hi, Sandra! Thanks for watching! What a happy surprise from your boyfriend!
Thanks for watching, Spirit of Beauty! No, I do not work for WRMK. I do like many of their products, though.
It helps to wipe a dryer sheet over the foil before you start. The pen glides nicer. xx
Thanks for the helpful tip, Top2tow!
Great tip
Great descriptive video. Just what I needed. Thank you!
Thanks for explaining things so well! I just got one yesterday.
Thanks for the close up view.
Thanks for watching, Julie!
What a great Idea to use your stamps and trace over the image, will be trying this out......Thank You
Thanks so much for watching, Julia! If you are interested, will have another video dedicated to using the Freestyle pens with stamped images which will be ready and uploaded on Tuesday morning.
Thanks for showing how it could effect the subsurfaces. Had thought about getting the Wendy vechy mat for this but got a magnetic glass mat at walmart instead (it was with the dry erase boards) glad I did now. Great review! Not many ppl are thorough like this. Glad I saw this vid and look forward to your next review!
Hello, Jenny, thanks for watching! I was sad the Wendy Vecchi mat didn't work, but a glass mat is good too! I appreciate your kind words.
Thank you very much. This was helpful.
Hello, Vickie Lee! Thank you for watching and leaving a kind comment!
I was always wondering how I could use this tool. Thanks for the tutorial
OMG I just got the metal foil quill mat and Walmart has these packs of magnet strips and they hold that foil super extra strong I promise
Very detailed. Thank you
Thank you for watching, Pepita!
Thank you for the how to on this cool new product!
Thanks so much for watching Carrie!
Thank you for the video. I really appreciate it bc I just got one today and curious how to use it and whatnot
I got my set on HSN but haven't used them yet.But many thx for showing what it can do! It just takes a lil time to play around w/them & master the technique. I probably will use a piece of glass from a picture frame and use it. Again, TFS😍
Thanks so much for watching, Elaine! The Freestyle pens are a lot of fun once you start using them!
I work at Michaels and buying one of these was very tempting, but now I don’t think I will. It seems a little difficult to get a smooth application
Thank you for this demo. I'm very interested in doing foiling but don't want to invest in an expensive machine. This video was very helpful to me. I'll be looking for more of your videos on the pens!
@Joan Cornell. I’m not trying to take business away from our lovely jg, who has been generous enough to make this informative video, but, I just use a regular glue pen with the foil. No heat required, but you are limited by the thickness of the glue pen nib. You just draw or write with the glue pen, and put the foil ( shiny side down on the glue). When you lift the foil, you get a similar look.
BTW. Thanks for the video. I never thought of stamping the image on the foil. Excellent tip, thank you.
Thanks so much for watching, Joan! I hope to have another video up this week!
Hello, VicVic! Thanks for watching and helping out in the comments! I will need to try the glue pen idea. I know it works with deco foil, but I haven't tried it with the heat activated foil from we r memory keepers. Have a great day!
I’m so sorry... my mistake.... you are entirely correct.. it was just regular foil I used with the glue pen NOT the heat reactive one you demo-ed.
I don’t have experience with that, so hope to try these heat pens you demonstrated.. thanks for jogging my very old brain
Hi, VicVic! No worries!! I sincerely appreciate your helpfulness and in the process you reminded me of a technique I want to use again soon. 😀
Thank you for this detailed video. I have seen these heat pens in Michaels recently and have been curious about them. I think i will stick with my minc for foiling because it is so much easier than this appears to be. My handwriting is also average so I feel these pens would frustrate me. I’m sure these can be mastered to get the look one wants and they are probably wonderful tools for many people. It looks like the magnetic board is the best way to go for those that do purchase these heat pens....holds the foil better and in time would be saving money by not having to buy the release tape over and over.
Again I thank you for your video
Hello, Cheri! Thanks for watching! One reason I do these videos is to help crafters see if the tool or product would fit their crafting style. I appreciate your comments and hope you have a wonderful day!
The foil quill magnetic pad is the way to go ...no need for tape! I paid $18.49 free shipping on ebay.
Got mine at Joanns with coupons. There is delicate surface tape both by frog tape and by 3M that may work also.
Hi, Stephanie. I just got these too, from HSN. I got the whole set. I do not have a digital die cut machine so the pen form is great for me. Thanks for the excellent review. I did not know you could buy the 3 rolls of placement tape. Thanks for that info. I just bought a new power-strip that has USB ports in it! Great product to use with these. I found that you need a firm surface to foil on. I bought the We R Memory Keepers magnetic mat and magnets from Amazon. I also find that trying to fill in is tricky. If you like a sketchy look, you’re all set! LOL. I am looking forward to seeing you use it with stencils.
Thanks so much for watching, Mary! A power strip with USB ports sounds like a great idea, especially if you can heat up more than one pen. Enjoy your day!
Stampjg - StephG Yes, it has two USB ports so I have two pens going at a time sometimes. I like the bold for regular writing and then the fine for stencils.
That is great! I will look into it. I only have one plug near my desk right now and it already has a power strip full of stuff. When I re-arrange it all, I want to put a power strip on my desk so I can plug things in - like these.
@@stampjg I have different Ott light-type desk lamps. 2 of them have USB outlets so it makes it very handy to use these without the power bank.
That is great! I love the functionality of the Ott lamp and a USB. I'll have to check into these. Thanks for watching, Linda!
Thank youfor sharing .
Thanks so much for watching, 1Tinac! Have a great day!
Thank you!
Thank you for watching, Fionna!
I'm doing a little pyrography and I paint my pieces after. Do you have any pros or cons to foiling OVER the paint after it's dried? Or stained? Would that be possible?
can I use any kind of foil quil paper w the free style pen cuz I ordered some n it shows the machine on the back of the package, there from
we r memory keepers foil quil paper? I'm new to this and don't want to get the wrong kind of foil.
Thank you for the review, I got it but haven't play with it yet. waiting on my magnetic board its on back order..
Thanks for watching, Millie! Hopefully your magnetic board will ship soon!
Thanks for the tip
Thanks for watching, Earline!
FYI: The blue pen you're using is the broad tip. The pink is the fine tip, the aqua is the medium, and the red is the the chisel tip.
Thanks Michelle!
Just bought the blue one but didnt realize they had different tips. Probably right on the pack and I didn’t even notice. Well - anxious to try so gonna go with it and see what I can do with it!
Do you think I can use a hot foil pen and stencil on pencils?
TFS I purchased everything from HSN except the powerbank which I already had. I haven’t really put them thru their paces because I had surgery on my index finger and haven’t been able to put any pressure on it. That said I tried them out using my next finger and loved what they can do. It is good to know that archival ink will work but I am wondering if it rubbed off a little on the envelope or was that just the reflectiveness of the foil. I have a tip when using the washi tape-it is easiest to put the tape on the four corners pulling the foil at an angle. It is possible to get the foil really smooth. You can add additional tape along the sides if you want but I haven’t needed it on my ScanNCut mat. My mag mat is not coming till mid September so I used a piece of Masonite which worked well. I tried out the stencils which are OK but not great-the floral designs have unconnected ends so for instance you have to hold down the pieces that separate the branches and there are tiny veins in the leaves that are only attached at one end. The stencils are a good idea but not well executed. I will be interested in your take on them.
Hi Audre, Thanks for watching! I hope you recover soon from surgery! The archival ink didn't smear - it was poor stamping on my part. Also the ink doesn't stay on the project, just the top carrier sheet for the foil. Thanks for the heads up about the stencils and tips on the foil. I appreciate it!
Stitches come out tomorrow so I’m more than ready to get back to crafty fun.
That is great! A little bit of "art therapy" will help with the healing process too.
I also use the Washi tape only on the 4 corners of the foil. It is so much easier than trying to tape down the 4 sides and I can do a much better job of getting the foil smooth.
It would have been nice to see you demonstrate each pen tip
Hello, Cdssweetpea! Thank you for watching and I sincerely appreciate your feedback! Have a great day!
I don’t think I would buy this product. Not enough control. But I think your video was informative
Thanks so much for watching, Patricia!
2 Questions - does this work with any other foil? I know deco foil needs laminator heat so I wondered if that would work? Also could you write on a card with the foil and paint over the writing with watercolors - just a light wash? Thanks so much.
Thanks again for watching! Deco Foil is slightly different and it does not work with the Foil Quill pens. The Minc foil works ok too, but not as well as the WRMK foil. Yes, you can do a watercolor wash over the foil. Thank you for your questions!
Hi. Can we use these on glass?
Do you think this would be a good use of the "purple" tape that's out there? It's reuseable so it might be easier then trying to unfurl the WRMK tape.
Hi, Crickets Nature! Thanks for watching. I like the purple tape too!
Can you use the machine quill pens . freehand...or do you have to buy 2 sets ..one for machine and one for freehand?
Hello, Marit, thanks for watching! The machine pens are a bit too short to be comfortable with holding and writing. I'll link a video I did as an experiment with them so you can see if it would work for you... czcams.com/video/g3MT-Tl-l5E/video.html
As a thought, both styles of pens are sold as individual pens. You might just purchase one of each in a point size you would use most.
Thank you for the detailed review of the foil quill freestyle pens . Unfortunately I cannot afford the whole set . Which tip do you think would be the most useful to purchase first please . I would use it for writing verses, sentiments and possibly with a stencil . I haven’t watched your stencil. video yet . Many thanks for the very helpful tutorial . X
Hi Angela! Thanks for watching! The standard or fine point will work well. I have an updated stencil video coming out this week. Some stencils are so detailed that only a fine point will work. It is smart to buy one first and then maybe another as money and interest allow.
Thank you
Any suggestions on how to get the lettering on a straight line in a certain place on a card?
Hello, Karen. The only way I can think of is to draw a faint line on your project that extends beyond where the foil will go. Draw a line on your foil from edge to edge with a sharpie. Place the foil over your project so that the lines match and tape the foil down very well. Hope this helps!
Hi there, what's the difference between using the Heatwave pen vs. the Quill? I get that the latter has more 'nibs', if you will, but the former is wireless. Is it just preference? TIA
Hi, Crimsonjade! Thank you for watching! The biggest difference is the power source. The Freestyle uses an USB cable to draw power from an electric plug with an adapter or a battery pack. The Heatwave uses 3 AA batteries. I have not used the Heatwave, but the picture on the package made it look a little awkward to hold. The Freestyle barrel can be held like a normal pen. I hope this helps!
These seem to get hotter
Seen theses first on HSN there AWESOME!!
Thanks for watching, Sandra! I agree that these are great tools.
@@stampjg I haven't got a mat yet. What king would you suggest?
@@sandrafergueson8155 Hi, Sandra! You need a heat resistant, smooth surface to work on. Any type of magnetic mat, like the foil quill mat, or a glass mat will work well. Some crafters are just putting a couple of pieces of cardstock down under their project and that is working too. Hope this helps!
@@stampjg Thank you!!
😮 what if we embossed first ?
Thank u for your response might I ask how much did it cost overall including the mat u need to work with my birthday is this month and I was going to get the ones that hook up to the machine but I heard it voids the warranty so this is so much better
Sorry for the delay, Kelsi. I paid full price when the pens first came out -- about $120 for all the pens and the mat. I *highly* recommend checking the big box craft stores, Amazon and Scrapbook.com for better prices and possibly coupons. The pens are also sold individually. Hope this helps!
Stampjg - StephG thank u so much what Matt do u recommend
Also thanks for spelling my name right! Most people get it wrong
I would love to get this set but , i live in canada and amazon .ca doesn,t seem to have them. Wish i knew where to get the set. Any ideas anyone, thanks for your video
Hello, Lorraine! Thanks for watching! I have seen individual pens at Michaels and Joann .com has them. Scrapbook. com and HSN. I know shipping can very expensive. I don't know any Canadian sites, but maybe someone will reply.
Hi Lorraine, I live in Canada and I just purchased one today at Michael's
Question, can you put foil on canvas? Cuz I'm scared that its gonna burn the canvas
Hello, Ruth. I have not tried canvas. You could test the pen on the back so you don'truin the front. So far I have not had anything burn.
Thanks for the demo.
Thanks so much for watching, Trudie!
Can't say I'm totally impress with this tool. I just purchased one but think I am going to return it. I think results are better with laminator or even just using inks and stamps. Thanks for the sharing your video though.
Thanks so much for watching, T.S.! I think that if you gave it a shot and it didn't fit your style or meet your expectations, you should definitely get your hard- earned money back...and spend it on stuff you enjoy. 😀
What’s the brand of your power brick and where is it available?
Hello Deerheart Studio Arts, the power bricks were promotional items give to employees with the company logo. They are basically no-name....and they were free. Amazon probably has some. We R Memory Keepers sells one with two outputs for multiple tools. Thanks for watching!
If you were to place the pattern paper on top of the foil, is the pen hot enough to foil the paper underneath still?
Hi, 58Kym! I have not had success with scrapbook paper. The heaviest paper that I have had ok-but-not-great success with is regular copy paper. I even tried light weight vellum and so far not great results. If it transfers any foil, it is sketchy looking. What I did find is that if you let the pen heat longer than 5 minutes and trace slowly, you may get good results. I will experiment more, but so far just very light weight paper works-ish. Hope this helps and thanks again for watching!
Stampjg - StephG well, that’s a shame, it would have been so much easier! Thanks for trying it all.
Can I use this pen with the magnetic die base?
Hello, Oh Mai Dragon! I don't think it would hurt it, but I do not have a magnetic base plate to try it out, sorry!
It doesn't wrinkle when you don't push too hard.
20:35 🤣 it Totally sounds like you said "SON OF An ITCH" "but with the "B" in front of it 😄
Use a flat cookie sheet
Thanks for watching, KP! A flat cooking sheet is a great magentic surface!
hsn sold out Scrapbook.com has a great price right now
I have a disability so I use weights with my Tim Holtz glass mat when I do my foil
Hobby Lobby has these.
That is great! Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching, Betty!
It seems as if the pens tips need to be a bit longer so you can see the tip more easily.
Hello 58Kym! Thanks for watching. Yes, it would be nice. And the barrel flares out a bit, so you have to tilt it a bit to see well. The pen works pretty well, though!
🙂
Your mat trips me out. Looks like your hand is going under the white lines when you move them around.
Thanks for the feedback, Softball Mom!
I have bought all of wrmk foiling products...and they are too much work..and I spent a lot of money for something I can't use very well...
Thought I would like it, but really I don't, based on the video. Useful to see it in use.
I've been been binge watching different we r memory tools, I found this video to be interesting but it's just not for me, as you need alot of supplies and I'm on limited budget, I'd just use metallic pens or watercolor...mikelle art mom
So u dont need ur machine for these pens right?
Hello, Kelsi. Right! These pens (called Foil Quill Freestyle) are for writing and drawing by hand.
No I don’t think I would buy one looks to fidgety
Duh don't put heated irons on non heat resistant materials!!
Yup, good advice! Thanks for watching, Kathleen!
Practice, Practice, Practice Makes Perfect......but Maybe Not With FOIL.
Hi, Barbara! Thanks for watching....LOL - I'm not actually patient enough to practice until it is perfect.😁
So looooooong explanations... WHY some tuto b like eternity 😣😩
