No, tissue does not count; you will need 300 sheets of gilding paper. Each color will receive 100 points. Each piece is separated from the others by tissue.
When I used a variety of sealers on my polymer clay earrings, they tarnished. If that's what you're looking for, proceed with caution when ordering. I'm thinking about switching brands.
Yes, it can be used for a wide range of purposes. Go to YouTube and type "gold foiling for cards" into the search box. Most people will use small crumbles, but for a smoother look, this works just as well. I also use mine to make plastic bottles appear metal-like. Treat it as if it were a delicate piece of paper.
Although I have no idea what a cricut machine is, this foil is very thin and delicate. It's what I use for resin art, and it breaks easily when you touch it, so it's probably too delicate for a machine.

150 sheets ARE POSSIBLE There isn't even close to 300 people. Please send a replacement shipment as soon as possible.
These foil sheets are not to be confused with craft deco foil sheets. They are difficult to reproduce on paper. They're prone to falling apart, and I have a sneaking suspicion they're used for something else I'm unaware of. They're nice and shiny, but I've never been able to figure out how to make them work for me. I hope this information is useful.
The gold isn't discolored or light, but the rose gold is darker than it appears in the photo. Even so, these foils are easily mistaken for genuine gold and silver. The foils were packaged in a reusable hard plastic container that was very convenient. The foil has the same properties as real gold foil. It's delicate, clings to your fingers, and is extremely thin. Although some of the foils were ripped, they were still square. I used my foils for nail art, and licking the tip of a toothpick and lightly touching it to the piece of foil helped me pick up small pieces. It was a little difficult to work with the foil at first, but once you got the hang of it, it was simple. Maintain the foils' separation from the paper separators. Overall, I consider it to be an excellent product.
This is a very cheap set of foil, and I can think of two uses for it. br>br>First and foremost, if you are new to burnishing or illumination, you will not be learning on real 24K gold foil. Second, if you're a seasoned professional who does a lot of burnishing and illumination, the Paxcoo package is your best friend. To be transparent, I have used real gold leaf to do illumination in the past, and while the difference in results is beautiful, the price difference for the projects I work on is not worth the difference in price. br>br>In some of the other reviews, the product was described as tearing, ripping, or flaking. Metal leaf products are by their very nature prone to this. (Some craft products, such as plastic and faux metal products, have a plastic or adhesive backing. ) For some people, those will work better, but you won't get the same level of precision as you would with real metal foil. )br>br>I like the variety of metallic colors included in the pack. I've been able to add two tones to some of my lighting work as a result of this. Overall, I am very pleased with the Paxcoo product and will order it again.
In my crafting, I frequently use foil sheets. These are extremely cost-effective and of excellent quality.
The colors are lovely, but despite the plastic box in which they were shipped, many of the pages were folded or messed up when they arrived. I recognize that they are extremely thin and, as a result, extremely difficult to work with. I had hoped and expected them to be thicker, like gold, silver, and rose gold foil paper. not foil. When I tried to use a leaf, it stuck to everything but the thing I needed it to stick to. It's difficult to remove from table tops, fingers, and other surfaces, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly what you're getting and expect some damaged leaves. It is nearly impossible to avoid. It's a waste of money because I won't be able to put it to good use.
These were ordered as part of a furniture refinishing project. I completed the project but first practiced on a flower pot; when they arrived, I was blown away by the packaging, as I had no idea what to expect with something so delicate. The first sheet was lovely when I opened it to use on my practice piece. The second, and every one after that, had major flaws. Except for the first copper piece, which had copper around the trim and a very orange/red square center, I assumed it was a fluke with the copper. I haven't been able to use them for the purpose I intended. I strongly advise against purchasing these; instead, purchase the genuine article, which will not be flawed in the same way.
