Have you tried out the Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil system? If you have, you KNOW how much fun it is!! If you have not, I hope you will enjoy the replay (below) of my hot foil live video from yesterday! I shared creative ways to use the hot foil product line to make fall cards and more!

A handmade greeting card features a textured magenta background with layered, gold-foiled leaf cutouts and a sentiment tag reading “GIVE THANKS.” A deep purple ribbon is tied across the center, and a scattering of additional gold-foiled paper leaves lies on the surface nearby.

I know I shared a ton of ideas during the video and today I have photos of the Lustrous Leaves bundle cards. Above: I used the Softly Woven embossing folder as the background with Berry Burst cardstock, layered onto a Blackberry Bliss card base. The card features a variety of leaves foiled and die cut with Gold Foil and the Lustrous Leaves bundle.

Below: watch the video to see the magic of using the Reverse Hot Foil Die (plate) to create an entire additional set of images after you hot foil onto cardstock!! (reminder: two-tone cardstock recommended for best results).

A hand peels gold foil off a dark pink cardstock sheet to reveal an embossed leaf pattern. Other examples of foiled leaves on dark pink backgrounds are arranged around the center piece, with overlaid text explaining the process. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Lustrous Leaves fall card #2 today features Golden Glow… which was not my favorite color in the world, BUT… look at the gorgeous contrast you get with the Two Tone Golden Glow AND the silver foil, then that touch of Cajun Craze!! Wow!! This card made me fall in love with this color!

And there are no rules… I didn’t die cut the individual hot foil leaves.. I just cut a square with the Tile Garden Dies!!

A handmade mustard-yellow card features silver-embossed leaf outlines and a single textured, metallic-copper leaf. A small orange banner with the text “YOU ARE APPRECIATED” sits above a piece of twine, and the background has a woven embossed pattern. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Hot Foil System Quick Reference

You’ll find instructions in your Hot Foil System package, but, I made a quick reference cheat sheet for myself. NOTE: I found for best results with the Reverse Plate I added the plate to the hot foil platform with Step 1 instead of Step 2.

A quick reference guide for a hot foil system lists eight numbered steps, from plugging in the device to peeling and revealing the foil. The instructions detail light and sound indicators for each stage, ending with the website address www.pattystamps.com at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
