Tile Garden Dies

Welcome friends,

The Tile Garden Dies (#168573) includes 12 square dies with 3 different designs around the edges. These designs are the same as the circle dies from the Spotlight In Nature (#163580).

I used the Gold Stampin’ Hot Foil Roll (#170066) with the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Die (#170048), then I cut this with the Tile Garden Dies.

The Gorgeous Grape card (#147011) was also cut with these dies and I taped these together.

“For You” and the leaves are from the Words & Wishes dies (#167894). I used the gold from the Timeless Metallic Specialty Paper (#168548) which was backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334). The background for “For you” is Gorgeous Grape card.

The Basic White card front (#166781) was dry embossed with the Softly Woven Embossing Folder (#168466) and matted with Gorgeous Grape card. The base card is Basic White.

“For You” was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and the squares were attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies

Hello friends,

Whenever possible when doing the Hot Foiling, I use the reverse image while the machine is still hot, so I am getting a stock of images waiting to be used. Today I have used the reverse image from yesterday’s card. I used the brick from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) with the Reverse Hot Foils Die (#170043) on Very Vanilla card (#166785). I had used the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553).

I cut the arch using a die from the Everyday Arches (#164629) from Pretty Peacock card (#150886), then dry embossed this with the (retired) Birch Wood Embossing Folder. The bricks and Pretty Peacock card were attached to the Very Vanilla Base Card.

The leaves were cut using a die from the Nature’s Symphony dies (#166925) from Lost Lagoon card (#133686) and Pool Party card (#124391), then were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). For the Pool Party leaves, I cut some of the leaves from the larger die cut, rather than using the full image.

“Have A Great Birthday” is from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set (#167922) and stamped with Pretty Peacock ink (#150083) and cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597). Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the sentiment.

The “embellishments” were cut with a “berry” die from the Noel Tidings dies (#168457) using some “leftover” copper from the Hot Foiling of the bricks. These were attached with Mini Glue Dots.

Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Bundle

Hello & welcome again,

I think my favourite Hot Foil dies currently are the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Bundle (#170559). This bundle includes the hot foil dies, cutting dies and masks for colouring so gives you many options.

I hot foiled the leaves as well as the brickwork from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) with the Copper Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (#170553).

The leaves were coloured with a variety of inks using Blending Brushes (#153611). The colours used are Crushed Curry (#147087), Cajun Craze (#147085), Old Olive (#147090), Mossy Meadow (#147111). Cherry Cobbler (#147083), Pecan Pie (#161665) and Crumb Cake (#147116). After colouring, the leaves were cut with the cutting die.

The card front was matted with Pecan Pie card (#161726) and attached to the Very Vanilla card (#166785).

The sentiment is from the Framed & Fabulous stamp set (#170573) and stamped with Pecan Pie ink. This was cut with a Nested Essentials die (#161597).

The leaves and sentiment were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683) and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies

Hello everyone,

I have used the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048) for this beautiful silver background behind the leaves.

I used the Silver Foil (#170067) on Basic White card (#166781). This card and the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) were matted with Coastal Cabana card (#131302) and attached to the Basic White base card.

I used a Natures Symphony die (#166925) to cut the leaves from Coastal Cabana card. This was attached to the card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108).

“Happiest Birthday Wishes” from the Notes Of Spring stamp set (#167979) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used Silver Powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). This was cut with a Stitched Stocking die (#168230) - coming in the next catalogue on 1st September. The edges of the sentiment was daubered with Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) and then attached with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies

Hello again stamping friends,

I am having so much fun with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (#170012). I have used 2 of the dies on today’s card, for the background and the sentiment.

The gold foil background is from the Echos Of Detail Hot Foil Dies (#170048). This was applied to Pool Party card (#124391). I then cut the top and bottom of this card with the dies from the Bordered In Beauty dies (#167556).

I dry embossed the Lost Lagoon card (#133686) with the Fern & Flora Embossing Folder (#167744) and attached it to the Basic White base card (#166781). The Pool Party card was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The leaf from the Natures Symphony dies (#166925) was cut from Pretty Peacock card (#150886). This was attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

I used the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies (#170052) for the sentiment. This set has 11 different sentiments with a cutting die to cut them. These are great to have on hand for any card. “Thank You” was also attached with Mini Glue Dots. The embellishments the Flower Accents (#165171).

The Echos of Detail Hot Foil Dies has 3 designs, the other 2 designs are brickwork and French damask. There is also a stamp set which co-ordinates with it - Echos Of Detail stamp set (#170046). Of course these are also available as a bundle - Echos Of Detail Bundle (#170049).

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.
