Hot Foiling

Hello everyone,

I have a range of hot foiled pieces already done, so it makes it quick & easy to put a card together like this one, using the beautiful butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045).

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066) for the butterflies on the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). The brickwork is from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) and using the “leftover” foil with the Reverse Plate (#170043). This was matted with the Red from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Timeless Herringbone Embossing Folder (#169736) - available in the November Online Exclusives. This was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Celebrate” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I used the Red Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170552). This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

This beautiful butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I have used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066).

This butterfly was foiled onto the Red from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548) and cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The brickwork from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) was also hot foiled with Gold on Very Vanilla card (#166785). On another piece of Very Vanilla card I used a die from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies (#166974) to cut the “window”, then dry embossed the card with the (retired) Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. This was attached to the card with the bricks, then matted with Real Red card (#106578). The base card is Very Vanilla.

For the leaves I used a die from Nature’s Symphony with Gold Foil Sheet (#132622). I only used part of the leafy image. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) to attach the leaves to the card.

“Best Wishes” is from the Elegantly Wrapped stamp set (#168474) and I stamped this with VersaMark (#102283) and used the Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A Stylish Shapes die (#159183) was used to cut the sentiment.

The sentiment & butterfly was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

For the flowers I used the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Dies (#170041) with the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil (#170066). I fussy cut the flowers and used part of the image.

“Thinking Of You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and I also used Gold foil. This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil dies (#170045) and I used Gold Foil on the Red Timeless Metallic Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168548). This was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The floral image was taped to the card front and the sentiment & butterfly were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

A sneak peek today of the gorgeous Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) from the upcoming catalogue. This paper is in red, green & gold and has a beautiful metallic shine, and all used on this card. It also works beautifully with the hot foiling which I have used on the butterfly & sentiment. I just love the results which look much better in real life.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and was cut with the co-ordinating cutting die from the same set. “Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies (#170042) and also cut with the co-ordinating cutting die.

The Soft Sea Foam card front (#147012) was Gold foiled with the Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies (#170075) and I matted this with Real Red card (#106578) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The leaves were cut with the cutting dies also from the Butterfly Flight dies and I attached these to the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). The butterfly & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Scalloped Blooms dies

Hello,

A fancy fold card today using the Scalloped Blooms dies (#167646).

The largest scalloped circles were cut from the Lunar Lustre Specialty Paper (#167199).

I used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil die (#170056) with Silver Foil (#170067) on Basic White card (#166781), then I stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp (#170054) with Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). I did 2 of these pieces and they were cut with a smaller Scalloped Blooms dies. I also cut a piece of the Hydrangea Hue card (#167688) with the same die, then dry embossed it with the Paradise Garden embossing folder (#167120). These 3 pieces were attached to the Lunar Lustre scalloped circles.

I attached the 3 circles to a piece of Basic White card, the full length of an A4 card and 5cm wide, then scored at both ends at 9.5cm.

The butterflies are also hot foiled with Silver Foil on the Hydrangea Hue from the 2026-2028 In Color Pearlised Specialty Paper (#167766). The butterflies are from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and I added some extra colour with a Blending Brush (#153611), Hydrangea Hue ink (#167677) and one of the Butterfly Flight Masks (#170076). I also used a small butterfly on Basic White card.

“Happy Birthday” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) and cut with the co-ordinating die from that set. The butterflies & sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Silver Hot Foils

Hi everyone,

I was having a clean up of my craft table (seems to be never ending) and came across some left over pieces so made this card with them.

The base card is Lemon Lolly (#161729). This was cut 10.5cm x 28.8cm and scored in half, then the card front was scored in half again.

The Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167947) was attached to the card front. Another piece was attached to the inside Basic White card (#166781) using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

I cut a piece of Lemon Lolly card with a Scalloped Blooms die (#167646) then dry embossed it with the Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder (#167946). The bottom half of the scalloped card was attached to the card front.

The butterfly and sentiment are both hot foiled with Silver Foil (#170067). The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) and the sentiment from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). I used Daffodil Delight card (#121680) for the butterfly and added extra colour with the Butterfly Flight Masks (#170076) using Crushed Curry ink (#147087) and a Blending Brush (#153611). Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the butterfly and sentiment. I added the extra butterfly embellishments from the 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies (#167656).

Botanical Glow Hot Foil Bundle

Hello everyone,

You might think I am obsessed with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012), well you are right. I just love the professional look these foils give to your projects.

I hot foiled the leaves onto the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper (#167113) from the Botanical Glow Hot Foil dies (#170056) using Gold Foil (#170066). I then stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) using Pool Party ink (#147107). This was double matted with Berry Burst card (#144249) and Daffodil Delight card (#121680), then attached to the Basic White base card (#166781).

I used the Light Pink Foil (#170068) for the butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045). Using the co-ordinating Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks (#170076), I coloured the butterflies with Bubble Bath ink (#161664), Strawberry Slush ink (#165286) and Berry Burst ink (#147143). These were cut with the co-ordinating open dies.

“Sending Hugs” is from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052) and I used the Gold Foil. The open dies were used to cut the sentiments. There are 11 sentiments which can all be hot foiled at one time then all cut with the die. I put the remainder sentiments aside so I always have some sentiments on hand.

The butterflies were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) for the sentiment. The die cut leaves are from the Butterfly Flight dies and they were cut from Peaceful Pine card (#167692) backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The sentiments are from the Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots (#166139).

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hello again friends,

When you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012), the Metallic Magic craft class is included (till the end of the year). This is such a fun and informative class. Today’s card is my variation of one of the cards demonstrated.

I used the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042) for the greeting and I used the Gold foil (#170066) on Basic White card (#166781).

I cut the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (#167553) with the Happy Birthday open die. The sentiment was lined up with the cut out and the DSP was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). This was then attached to the Basic White base card.

I used Silver Foil (#170067) for the butterflies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) on Two Tone Crushed Curry cardstock (#166670). I then added colour using the Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks which are included in the Butterfly Flight Bundle (#170076). I used Golden Glow ink (#167676) and Crisp Cantaloupe ink (#167680) and applied these colours with Blending Brushes (#153611). The open dies from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies were used to cut the butterflies.

The butterflies were attached to the card with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The embellishments are from the 2026-2028 In Color Dots (#167546).

The Gold Foil (#170066) was used for the leaves & yellow butterfly. Silver Foil (#170067) was used on the blue butterfly and Pink Foil (#170068) on the pink butterfly and sentiment. I used the Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198) for the butterflies & sentiment.

I stamped the leaves from the Botanical Glow stamp set (#170054) using Soft Sea Foam ink (#147102). This Basic White card front (#166781) was matted with a retired shimmer paper (not sure of the name), then this was attached to the Bubble Bath Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper. The base card is also Basic White.

Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper

Hi again everyone,

I hope this is the last Sympathy card I need to make for a while. I have used 2 of the designs from the Luxe White Specialty Paper (#167947) for the background.

The 2 pieces of DSP were matted with the Lemon Lolly from the Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper (#167198), then attached to the Basic White base card. I used a full sheet of A4 and folded it in half for the card.

I have used the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045) for the butterfly and this was also foiled onto the Lemon Lolly Pastel Shimmer Specialty Paper.

The sentiment from the retired Peace On Earth stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Gold Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) which was set with the Heat Tool (#129056). The sentiment and the frame were cut with a Phrases & Frames Impressions die (#167586). The sentiment and butterfly were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to announce that Stampin’ Up! are introducing the Stampin’ Hot Foil System which will be available to purchase from 10th July. You can create metallic foil accents on your projects and on today’s card I have used 3 different products using Silver Foil (#170067). Gold Foil (#170066) & Light Pink Foil (#170068) are also available.

The butterfly is from the Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Dies (#170045). There are also masks available - Butterfly Flight Decorative Masks (#170076) to colour the butterflies and are included in the Butterfly Flight Bundle (#170065). After applying the foil I coloured the butterflies (there are 5 butterflies on the one die) with Blending Brushes (#153611) and Fresh Freesia ink (#155611), Highland Heather ink (#147103) and Gorgeous Grape ink (#147099). These were then cut with co-ordinating dies.

The brickwork is from the Echoes Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) and “Thank You” is from the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies (#170042). I used Gorgeous Grape Two Tone cardstock (#166664) for the sentiment. This was also cut with the co-ordinating die.

I matted the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) and the card with the foil brickwork with Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) and attached these to the Basic White base card (#166781).

The butterfly and sentiment were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The embellishments are from the retired Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

This Stampin’ Hot Foil System is easy to use and gives such a beautiful shimmer and shine to your projects.
