HOT FOIL BUTTERFLY FLIGHT CARD IDEAS

 

Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Cards with Gorgeous Color Combinations

Butterflies and gold foil are such a beautiful combination!


This week's video features the new Stampin' Up! Butterfly Flight Hot Foil Plates paired with the coordinating masks. I'll walk you through creating two elegant cards while sharing several butterfly color combinations that completely change the look of the design.

One of my favorite things about these masks is how quickly you can create vibrant butterflies. Just change the ink colors and you have a completely different style—from soft and delicate to bold and dramatic.

If you've been curious about hot foiling, this is a wonderful project to start with. The foiled details do all the hard work!  

Scroll down for more pictures.

Watch the video, then let me know which butterfly colors you'd like to try.


Happy stamping!  Don't be Shy, STAMPINSHOUT!    Nancy

Thank you card | Stampin' Up Hot Foil System

 

My First Card with the NEW Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System



I finally had the chance to sit down and create my very first card using Stampin' Up!'s new Hot Foil System—and I have to say, I was impressed!

In today's video, I take you through the entire process step-by-step, just as I experienced it for the first time. If you've been curious about hot foiling but weren't sure where to begin, this tutorial is for you.

I created an elegant navy and silver thank you card featuring beautiful foiled florals and a shiny foiled sentiment. The metallic finish really gives the card that "wow" factor without making the design complicated.

Whether you're new to hot foiling or simply thinking about adding the system to your craft room, I hope this video helps you feel confident enough to give it a try.
