New Hot Foil System Available Today!

| Rhonda Kleiman

Exciting News! Starting tomorrow, Friday, July 10, you will be able to order the brand new Hot Foiling System!  Demonstrators were introduced to it in March and were sworn to secrecy about promoting it until it was ready for prime time!  This new tool will add beautiful new dimensions to your cardmaking!

The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with our 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.

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. 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.  Shortly after checkout, Stampin’ Up! will send an email with a link to an exclusive Facebook group where the class will stream on July 23 at 2:00 p.m. (MT) and later on demand.

Watch the video below for a demonstration of how the hot foil system works.

Here are a few questions and answers about the system    

Q.What materials can be hot foiled? A. Hot foiling works best on: Two-Tone Cardstock Smooth cardstock (Our Basic White Cardstock works great!) Stampin’ Up! vellum Designer Series Paper Window Sheets Pearlized Specialty Paper Always test small samples first. Porous or textured papers can yield inconsistent results.    

Q. Can I use my cutting dies for hot foiling? A. No. Cutting dies and hot foil dies are different. On our packaging, cutting dies and hot foil dies are represented with different colors. Also, both types of dies have a different coating and thickness that you can feel. When you’re foiling, make sure you only use dedicated hot foil dies, which have deeper-etched, flat designs made specifically for heat transfer. Do not use cutting dies with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System.    

Q. How does hot foiling differ from heat embossing? A. While both techniques are high on “wow” factor, the hot foil finish is smooth, where heat embossing is slightly raised.

Velvet Meadow Card Within a Card

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card features the Velvet Meadow Suite, one of the beautiful new suites in the May-August 2026 Catalog. I love the specialty DSP because of the lovely flowers and color palette, which shout spring. The DSP is special because each of the papers has velvet textures on one side of the sheet, adding to the dimension of the paper.

Measurements

  • Berry Burst cardstock – card base 4 1/4″ x 11″ and cut off the paper at 8 1/4″ (this piece will be used for front flap), score at 5 1/2″
  • Berry Burst cardstock – inner card 3 1/2″ x 9 1/2″, score at 4 3/4″
  • Basic White cardstock – cut one piece at 2 1/2″ x 4″ for card front; cut one piece at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2′ for inner card; scrap pieces for stamping flowers and stems
  • Bubble Bath cardstock – cut piece at 2 1/2″ square for stamping greeting on front of inner card
  • Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper – cut one piece at 4″ x 5 1/4″ for inside of card base; cut one piece at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ for front of inner card; cut one piece at 2 1/2″ x 4″ for top of front fold

Here’s how I made the card.

  • Adhere the three different pieces of DSP to the outer and inner cards.
  • Run the piece of Basic White cardstock for the card front through embossing machine with an embossing folder of your choice. I used the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder, which is now retired. Adhere to the 2 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Berry Burst cardstock that was cut from the original 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock.
  • Stamp images from the Flowering Meadow stamp set. Stamp the large flowers with Berry Burst ink and the small flowers with Bubble Bath ink. Stamp stamens with Memento Black Ink or the new Basic Black Hybrid Stampin’ Pad (see page 77 in catalog). Stamp the two different stem images with Peaceful Pine ink. Run through die cutting machine with the coordinating Flowering Meadow Dies. Adhere flowers to stems and adhere to front flap with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Stamp greeting with Berry Burst ink on piece of Basic White cardstock for inside of the inner card. I used the birthday greeting from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set. Stamp the leaf image with Peaceful Pine ink in the left corner. Adhere to inside of the inner card.
  • Run piece of Bubble Bath cardstock through die cutting machine with the third smallest die from the Scalloped Blooms Dies. Stamp greeting from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set with Berry Burst ink. Adhere to front of inner card. Adhere inner card to back piece of the card base, centering it so that the bottom of the inner card is 1/4″ from the bottom of the card base, as shown in the photo.
  • Finish off the card front. Make a small bow and adhere to base of stems with a glue dot. Add Wink of Stella to the flowers. Be careful when adding to the Berry Burst flowers because it can make the ink bleed into the white spaces. Add three of the Bubble Bath Dreamy Flower embellishments.

Nature Walk Card

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

It’s been a few months since I’ve posted any cards. I had knee replacement surgery in January and had a sinus infection that lasted for two months so I wasn’t able to make any cards or hold classes until late March, when I was finally feeling better. I’ve been catching up since then and my business is finally back on track I am now holding classes regularly again. I have a backlog of cards to post! Today’s card is from my March class and it features the Nature Walk Suite. This beautiful suite was featured in the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog. This is the first suite I purchased when the catalog was introduced to demonstrators. I loved the beautiful DSP and images and thought it would make great masculine cards. While the suite has retired from the catalog, the Nature’s Symphony stamp set and die bundle has been carried over into the new May-August 2026 Catalog and all of the other products in the suite are available in the online store.

Measurements

  • Secret Sea cardstock for card base – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
  • Lost Lagoon cardstock – mat – 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Basic Beige cardstock – inside of card – 4″ x 5 1/4″; scrap for greeting
  • Natural Hues Specialty paper – 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
  • Nature Walk Designer Series Paper – cut seven 1/2″ strips from different papers. Cut strips into 4 1/2″, 4 3/4″ and 5″ lengths; dark green piece cut at 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ for leaves

Here’s how I made the card.

  • Score card base at 4 1/2″ and fold.
  • Lay strips out on the Lost Lagoon mat, placing them at different heights. Once you get a pleasing color arrangement, adhere to mat. Adhere the outside strips on the left and right side of the mat and then space the rest of the strips evenly in between them. Adhere to card front.
  • Run leaf die through die cutting machine with the piece of dark green DSP. Adhere to mat piece.
  • Run piece of Natural Hues Specialty Paper through die cutting machine with the tree bark die.
  • Cut scrap piece of Basic Beige cardstock to 5/8″ x 2″. Stamp greeting with Secret Sea ink.
  • Cut a length of Secret Sea Bordered Open Weave Ribbon and make into a loop that fits across the mat. Adhere the loop with a piece of Tear and Tape or Scotch Tape. Adhere the tree bark piece over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Run a thin bead of liquid glue to the top of the tree bark. Place Mini Dimensionals at the top of the greeting. Adhere the greeting to the tree bark, placing the bottom of the greeting piece over the line of liquid glue.
  • Embellish with several Faux Bronze Pentagons.
  • Stamp greeting of your choice on the piece of 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic Beige cardstock and adhere to inside of card.
