Good Friday morning stamping friends, welcome to my fun fold Friday. WOW!! We’re already halfway through July, where is the time going.  I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend.

Today’s card is one that I did on my YouTube Live yesterday. If you were able to join me, thank you for hopping on. I decided to play with the Hot Foil System live last night and it went better than I expected. This new system is so much fun to play with. If you’d like to watch the replay and stamp along, the measurements are on the bottom of this post along with the link to my video. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweetly Sentimental Bundle and Swiss Dot Hot Foil Dies for my card today.

Using the Hot Foil System with Light Pink Foil and the Swiss Dot Die, foil 3 panels of Basic White. Adhere the foiled panels to Strawberry Slush mats.

Adhere one of the layered panels to the left side of the Secret Sea card front. Adhere the larger layered panel to the back of the Secret Sea card base.

Adhere the last layered panel to the front of the small Secret Sea card front. On a panel of Basic White, stamp the large, detailed flower image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Secret Sea Ink. Stamp the large solid flower image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the detailed image. Stamp the smaller solid flower images from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Strawberry Slush Ink over the detailed image. Stamp the solid leaf images from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Granny Apple Green Ink over the detailed images. Fussy cut the flower using Detail Scissors. Adhere the flower to the front of the small card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Hot Foil the sentiments from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies with the Light Pink Foil on a panel of Secret Sea Two-Tone cardstock. Cut the sentiments out using the Sweetly Sentimental Dies. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls to the card front.

Adhere a strip of the Hot Foiled Swiss Dot Basic White panel to a Basic White panel. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Strawberry Slush mat then to the inside of the small Secret Sea card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the large rose image from the Sweetly Sentimental stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Stamp the large fill in rose image in Strawberry Slush, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the outlined image. Stamp the other solid flower image in Strawberry Slush and the leaves in Granny Apple Green Inks. Adhere a panel of 2025-2027 In-Color DSP to the envelope flap.

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!

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

• 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.
