Good Saturday morning stamping friends, welcome to the weekend. I hope you’ve got some plans in the works. I’ll be working all day, but we’ll also be parting al day. Today is one of my favorite managers last weekend working. He’ll be moving to TN next week to be closer to his daughter and grandchildren. He’s going to be missed tramendously.

I have a fun fold card for you today, since I missed yesterday. I was working on a card and hoping to go live Thursday night when I got a call from my son. His car wouldn’t start and he was just getting off of work. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Framed Violets Bundle, Violet Blooms Specialty Designer Series Paper and Stone & Vine 3D Embossing Folder for my card today.

Score and fold the Secret Sea card base at 1″, 2″, 3″ & 4″. Adhere the panels of Violet Dreams DSP to the coordinating Basic White Mats. Adhere the 3 layered panels to the center 3 sections. Do not adhere anything to the 1st section. Add Tear & Tape on the 1st scored section (see the image below).

Adhere the larger layered panel of Voilet Dreams DSP to the right side of the card base. Adhere the first section to the card base making a cube. Using the Framed Violets Dies, cut the scalloped oval and smaller oval from a panel of Basic White. Emboss the smaller panel using the Stone & Vine EF. Adhere the embossed panel to the scalloped oval. Fold the cube flat and adhere scalloped oval.

Punch out the large flower image and the coordinating small flowers and leaves from the Violet Dreams DSP. Adhere the small flowers and leaves to the large flower image with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the layered flower image to the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals. tie a small bow using the Fresh Freesia 1/4″ Satin Ribbon and adhere it to the stems with a Glue Dot.

Stamp the sentiment from Framed Violets stamp set in secret sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Adhere a strip of Violet Dreams DSP to the bottom of the panel. Stamp the large flower image from Framed Violets stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the panel and color the image with Darling Duckling and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Highland Heather mat then to the back of the Secret Sea card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the larger flower image from the Framed Violets stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front color the image with Darling Duckling and Peaceful Pine Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Violet Dreams DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

Introducing the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System!!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more.

WHAT IS INCLUDED WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE STAMPIN’ HOT FOIL SYSTEM?

This is everything included in the Stampin’ Hot Foil System & Craft Class:

• Metallic Magic Craft Class ($30 value—limited time only!)
• Stampin’ Hot Foil platform
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Shim & Spacer
• Stampin’ Hot Foil Magnetic Pick-Up Tool
• Silicone platform station
• Silicone cooling pad
• Power cord
• Instructions on how to use the system

The Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls (the foil itself), and Hot Foil dies and bundles are sold separately.

CRAFT CLASS

As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.

You can see more details about the system, find the bundles and foil that will be available to order beginning on Friday, July 10 in this brochure:

A few notes about the new system:

• Hot Foil results are best with either White Willow or Two-Tone Cardstock.  Smoother card stocks like the Two-Tone Cardstock and White Willow will achieve the best results when using the system, but you can use the regular card stocks too.
• The Hot Foil System, foil rolls and new hot foil dies and bundles will be available Friday, July 10, 2026 in the online Stampin’ Up! store.
• A FREE Hot Foil Online Class from Stampin’ Up! is included with your hot foil system purchase (a $30 value!), do not add the class separately to your cart (you’ll be charged for it if you do!).  You’ll automatically get a link to it after you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.
• The Stampin’ Hot Foil system is $160. Dies & foil are sold separately.
• Stampin’ Up! has let us know that if the Stampin’ Hot Foil system goes on backorder, it may take longer than normal to restock.  So if you would like to order the system, order sooner rather than later!
• IMPORTANT NOTE:  Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling.  You cannot die cut using foiling dies.  Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.

I’m so excited for you all to be able to order this new system!  Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store beginning July 10 to see and order the new system!

If you’ve been thinking about joining the Stampin’ Up! community, wait until July 10th and you can use your $125 coupon code to order the Hot Foil system!!

Stampin’ Up! is introducing a simplified join process designed to make joining faster and easier than ever before!  The new process will create a more streamlined experience when you join!  

As part of the new join process, all first-time demonstrators will receive a surprise Welcome Box—a gesture of appreciation and a warm welcome into the global Stampin’ Up! creative community!

How the New Process Works

New demonstrators will:

1. choose a team leader.
2. accept required agreements.
3. enter a few personal details.
4. pay the $100 join fee.
5. click submit.

Step 2: Shop

Once their information has been reviewed and approved (usually very quickly), their Welcome Box ships, and the new demonstrator receives an email with:

• their demonstrator ID.
• a coupon code to begin shopping.

About the Coupon Code

• Valued at $125.
• Coupon code can be applied to any demonstrator order.
• Order CAN exceed the coupon code value (I know that many people wanted the option to be able to add more than $125 to their Starter Kit!).
• Any amount above the coupon code value:
  • receives the demonstrator discount.
  • counts toward the quarterly sales minimum.
  • earns Stampin’ Rewards if it meets the qualifying purchase amount (as long as you’ve opted into the Stampin’ Rewards program).
