The key is to make sure you really use that bone folder to press the foil in place. This technique would work with any dies.

Can you use foiling adhesive on cardstock?

But that’s OK, we can use it too. It’s a thick adhesive that dries VERY sticky when it “dries”- so it will grab the foil. Foiling Adhesives stay sticky when “dry.” You can stamp with them if you are careful, and you can also coat sheets of cardstock as well.
