When you want your design to use multiple colors of Foil, select your machine and follow the steps below.
Note: Cricut Foil Transfer Systems are supported on Design Space for Desktop only. This functionality is not currently available in Design Space for mobile devices.
- Select the Draw > Foil operation and a foil color for each part of your design that will use foil. This makes it possible for Design Space to prompt you to use the correct color when it's time.

- Choosing the right operation and color allows the software to tell you which foil color to put on your material before loading it into the machine.
- The software will then prompt you when it's time to switch foil colors and/or tools.
Important: Do not unload the mat to switch foil colors. Be sure to remove foil as prompted before the final cut step.
