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.

Floral Spray Embossing Folder

Hello again my friends,

Another sympathy card today using the beautiful Floral Spray 3D Embossing Folder (#167946). This would also be great for a wedding or anniversary card with a change of sentiments.

I matted the embossed Basic White card (#166781) and the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197) with Silver Foil (#163387). The base card is also Basic White. The matted embossed card was attached to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

The sentiment from the retired Painted Glass stamp set was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678), then set it with the Heat Tool (#129056).

The sentiment was cut with a Phrases & Frames Impressions die (#167586). These impression dies cut the card, then using the Impressions Plate (#167767) gives deeper embossing. The sentiment was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots (#103683).

The cross is cut from a retired die - Cross Of Hope, using Silver Foil, backed with Adhesive Sheet (#152334).

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.

Hello friends,

I have used 2 of the Nested Essentials dies (#161597) to cut the beautiful Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper (#167904).

This paper has flocked designs on one side of each page. These die cut pieces were attached to the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Designer Series Paper (#168197). This was matted with Berry Burst card (#144249).

The sentiment is from the Delicate Whispers stamp set (#167500). This was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and I used the Silver powder from the Metallics Wow! Embossing Powders (#165678) and set it with the Heat Tool (#129056). A die from the Fragrant Layers dies (#167154) was used for the sentiment.

The White Bakers Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475) was threaded through the holes of the frame for the sentiment and attached at the back of the card front. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) to attach the sentiment.

The flower embellishments are from the Dreamy Flowers (#167916).
