Creative Challenge: Hot Foiling

This month’s Creative Challenge is all about adding shine with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System. If you haven’t tried hot foiling, now’s the perfect time! Watch this video to see how it works. We used Classic Greetings, Luxe Alphabet & Numbers, and Swiss Dots Hot Foil Dies to add gold, silver, and light pink foil to our Celebrate Card. The mix of metallic finishes and patterns creates a beautifully layered, high-shine design that truly stands out. Remember, if you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System by January 4, 2027, the Metallic Magic Craft Class is included FREE ($30 USD | $41 CAD value)! Look for the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class (170009) in the online store.

Card #1 - Thanks

Card #2 - Happiest Birthday

Card #3 - Hello Sweet Friend

Card #4 - Sympathy

Card #5 - Just Saying Hi

Card #7 - Hello

I hope that you will want to join me and celebrate Fall, a great time of the year! Just get in touch with me to order your kit, either in person or to go.

Argyle Technique Practice Card

 Every month I like to do a practice card for our Technique Class, and this month I used some mostly retired papers and stamps. You know what? It was fun to be able to use the materials, just like it was new to me!

Here is my "practice" Argyle Technique Card:

STAMP SET: Elephant Parade

INK: Misty Moonlight

PAPER: Misty Moonlight Base, White Layer, Night of Navy Layer, Bloom Boutique DSP 

ACCESSORIES: Eyelet Embossing Folder, Hydrangea Hue Dots, 1 1/8" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

The squares are 1" squares and you need 9 of them. I love how this turned out, a cute little baby quilt.

I hope that you enjoyed today's card, I will be posting the Technique Cards later this month, so stay tuned.

Thanks for stopping by,

Take care

Cindy

Facebook Live Replay - Hello Friend

 This week I not only used the Opulent Oasis stamp set but also the Autumn Opulence Designer Series Paper to make a fabulous Fancy Fold card. I am calling it the Front Flap Tuck Card and here it is.

And here is the inside:

Project Recipe:

STAMP SET: Opulent Oasis

INK: Blackberry Bliss

PAPER: Blackberry Bliss Base, Autumn Opulence DSP, Pecan Pie, Very Vanilla

ACCESSORIES: Stitched so Sweetly (Tag), Seasonal Cheer Embossing Folder-Leaves, Dimensionals, Very Vanilla Dots

CUTTING & SCORING: 

• Blackberry Bliss Base 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" Score at 3"
• Blackberry Bliss Front Layer 2 3/4" x 4"
• Autumn Opulence DSP 2 3/4" x 4", 2 1/2" x 3 3/4", 2" x 2"
• Pecan Pie 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", 4" x 5 1/4" Inside
• Very Vanilla 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" Inside, 1 1/2" x 3" Tag

Helpful Hint: I found when putting a fancy fold card together is to use paper clips to put it all together before I even glue it. That way I if I make a mistake it is easy to fix.

Now it is time for the video so that you can see how I made this really cute card.

I hope that you liked today's card and will want to come back often. Thanks so much!!

Take care,

Cindy
