Hot Foil System Card


This is a game changer! Stampin' Up! has just come out with their own Hot Foil System and I am loving it. I had never played with hot foil in the past and it is so cool! Remember what it was like the first time you heat embossed something and the light that went on in your head and eyes? That is what it feels like when you first foil something. It really is different than heat embossing--the paper feels smooth afterwards, as if the foil was there all along. The system works with our Stamp, Cut & Emboss machine (but not with an old Big Shot) which is sold separately. Don't miss this opportunity to really enhance your card-making ability--it is a game changer and is very easy to use. It just went on sale to customers, and they have a limited inventory of both the machine and dies, so get it soon if you are interested. 

For this card I used the Velvet Meadow Designer series paper, just a 3" by 5 1/2" piece with 2 1/2" pieces of Berry Burst glued to the sides and then glued to a Peaceful Pine card base. But the real winner on the card is the sentiment done with pink foil and the Classic Greetings and Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies and stencils. 

I decided to do this post a bit different than usual as you really need to watch my Facebook Live below to get a feel for this new technique and different ways to use it. 


Here's one of the butterflies up close. I used Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Peaceful Pine in this order using the matching dies. I just picked the colors in the beautiful paper to guide me.


This was my inspiration card that I made over a month ago, using the Words & Wishes dies. I was saving it until the DSP comes back in (now saying the week of August 3rd), but decided to remake it using the new foiling system when I realized everyone can buy it now. You really do need it in your stash. 


Here's the link to my Facebook Live that I've moved to YouTube (as Facebook deletes them in a month). Enjoy learning to use the Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System! I will be having a total knee replacement surgery 7/15/26 so will be out of commission for a few weeks. See you soon!

  3rd Charming Duck Pond Post This card is a modified gate-fold card as the left front is just 1 1/4". I love how you can use most of the page of the 6" by 6" piece of DSP scenery to make this card. Sometimes I use the back side for the little pieces, but this time I used a separate piece of DSP with just the rushes on it. Enjoy!

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

Gingerbread Man & Woman Aren't these gingerbread man and woman just so cute? They are from the new 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog that goes live to everyone at midnight 9/3/25. I am sure they are going to be a big seller, so get yours quickly before they sell out (just my prediction). The stamp set has lots of different expressions for our little gingerbread person, and the dies have many different objects for them to hold, but the cutest part of the bundle is that the die cuts 2 gingerbread men that you fold in half to make a card that can open.  This set is called Gingerbread Man, but I just had to see if I could make a gingerbread woman as he seemed to need a girlfriend. I don't know if you can tell, but her skirt is made from one of the Coneflower Celebrations dies cut from both Real Red and Garden Green cardstock. I'm sure whomever thought up those dies never thought they'd be used like this.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Thick Basic White car...
