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.

Easy Sympathy Card with Inked Floret

Hi Stampers!

It's been a little while since I've shared a project, and it feels so good to be back in my craft room! Today I'm featuring an elegant sympathy card made with the beautiful Inked Floret stamp set and designer series paper.

One of my favorite techniques is stamping directly onto patterned paper. It adds beautiful depth and detail while letting the designer paper do much of the work. The result is a soft, heartfelt card that's simple to create and perfect for letting someone know you're thinking of them during a difficult time.

I hope this project inspires you to pull out your favorite designer series paper and give this technique a try.

🎥 Watch the full step-by-step tutorial below.

Happy stamping!

Hi Stampers!

It's been a little while since I've shared a project, so I thought I'd pop in with a couple of cards I made this week.

The first card features the beautiful Storybook Friends Designer Series Paper, which did most of the work for me! Sometimes gorgeous patterned paper is all you need to create a quick and charming card.

The second card was a chance to do a lot more stamping using the Wild Bunch stamp set. It was so much fun bringing all those adorable images to life and creating a completely different style of card.

I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your favorite papers and stamp sets and spend a little creative time in your craft room. Happy stamping!

Easy Cardmaking: Easter Basket Bundle Fun Folds

This week’s Easy Cardmaking video features two fun fold cards created with the Easter Basket Bundle. These cheerful spring designs are perfect for Easter, spring greetings, or anyone who loves bright, happy cards.

The first card is a Dutch fold showcasing a die-cut basket with flowers.

The second is a center flap fold with a more traditional Easter basket filled with a bunny, flowers, and eggs.

Both designs can be easily customized with different greetings like Hello Spring or Happy Easter. And if bunnies aren’t your style, here is a simple alternative idea.
