New at SU Blog Hop- Foil Me Pink



Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and help get you crafting! This month we are showing off the New Stampin' Hot Foil System!


This system is Brand New and works with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
We only recommend using the dies that are specially made to be heated up.
The Foil comes in multiple colors but
Foil me PINK!!!


I am sharing with you my creation with Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies.
It foils the words first, and then you can die cut the outline of the words.


I used Berry Burst as my cardbase and used Basic Black to Foil on.
I paired it with the Designer Series Paper that features Black and White Patterns for a classic look.




Here is what the foil looks like after you Foil (top image).
Then I die cut from the Basic Black. SAVE both pieces!!!
You can use them to make another card as is...or wait for the Reverse Hot Foil Die (coming in September), and use the Foil again!
*Tip: Important to trim foil to be the same size of the cardstock and not to waste the Foil. Small greeting, small foil. Big greeting/image, big foil.


Here is how you can layer the "leftovers" together to make that bonus card!
I'm feeling that "Barbie" vibe with this font and color combo!


Once the Hot Foil System is all warmed up, you can make them over and over again with ease! 

Don't you just LOVE the Pink??? 
But don't stop here...
