How to Make a Butterfly Birthday Card with the NEW Stampin' Up! Hot Foiling System

 Hi Friends!

If you've been wondering how to use the NEW Stampin' Up! Hot Foiling System, today's project is the perfect place to begin!

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to create this elegant butterfly birthday card using the beautiful Butterfly Flight Hot Foiling Dies. One of the things I love most about this collection is that you don't need a stamp set to create stunning focal images. The foiling plates and coordinating dies do all the work, giving you beautifully detailed butterflies with a gorgeous gold finish.

During the video, I'll demonstrate the complete process from start to finish. You'll learn how to use the Hot Foiling System, foil the butterfly images, cut them with the coordinating dies, and assemble the finished card. Along the way, I'll share the tips and techniques I've discovered to help you achieve beautiful foiled results every time.

The soft pink background, delicate gold foiling, and layered butterflies combine to create a clean and elegant birthday card that's suitable for many occasions. Whether you're new to hot foiling or already experimenting with this exciting new tool, I hope this project inspires you to give it a try.

Be sure to watch the complete video tutorial below, where I'll walk you through every step of the project. You'll also find the complete supply list and measurements below so you can recreate this beautiful card in your own craft room.

💜 I'd love to know what you think! Are butterflies one of your favourite card themes, or is there another Hot Foiling collection you're excited to try? Leave me a comment below.

Elegant Floral Hot Foiled Card with the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foiling Bundle

 Hi Friends!

One of my favourite things about the new Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foiling Bundle is that it offers so much more than beautiful sentiments. Along with elegant greeting foiling plates and coordinating dies, the bundle also includes this gorgeous floral image that creates stunning handmade cards with very little effort.

For today's project, I heat embossed the floral image with Gold Embossing Powder before colouring it with soft pink flowers and fresh green leaves. The raised gold embossing beautifully outlines each petal and leaf, adding rich detail and a touch of elegance that pairs perfectly with the soft colour palette. The finished image is layered onto a large decorative die-cut panel and finished with a simple "Thinking of You" sentiment, creating a card that would be perfect for birthdays, encouragement, thank you notes, or simply letting someone know you're thinking of them.

Although I won't be doing a live demonstration for this card, you'll find the complete supply list and measurements below so you can recreate it in your own craft room. I hope it inspires you to combine heat embossing with the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foiling Bundle to create elegant handmade cards with a professional finish.

• Stamp sets:  Phrases & Frames set, Sweetly Sentimental set
• Ink:              VersaMark, Basic Gray, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green
• Paper:           Bubble Bath   8-1/2 x 5-1/2, and 3-1/2 x 3-1/2
•                      Basic White    5-1/4 x 4 (inside),  5-1/2 x 4-1/4 (die cut), 1-1/2 x 2-1/2 (sentiment)
• Other:           Gold Embossing Powder, Pearlized Faceted Gems, Nested Essentials dies,  
•                      Wink of Stella

I'd love to hear what you think. Would you like me to do a demonstration on how to create this card?  Send me an email at gjmollet@shaw.ca

Alternative Card Ideas with the June Paper Pumpkin Kit – Bikes & Blooms

 Hi Friends!

Last Tuesday I shared some alternative card ideas using the June Paper Pumpkin kit, Bikes & Blooms.

This month’s kit is absolutely adorable with its bicycles, florals, and pretty silver foil accents. One of my favourite things about Paper Pumpkin is seeing how many different ways the pieces can be used beyond the original instructions.

During the live demonstration I shared a few fun ideas for taking the kit in a different direction and creating projects with your own personal style.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you missed the live video, you’ll find the replay below. I hope these ideas inspire you to pull out your Paper Pumpkin supplies and see just how versatile they can be. 💜

Sweet Bugs Z Fold Birthday Card for a Special 6th Birthday

Hi Friends

Earlier this week I shared this adorable Z Fold birthday card featuring the Sweet Bugs bundle from Stampin’ Up!

This project was especially fun to create because I originally made it for our granddaughter Maggie’s recent 6th birthday. I wanted something cheerful, playful, and full of personality, and the Sweet Bugs bundle was absolutely perfect.

I love the combination of the cute bug images, pretty flowers, and interactive Z Fold design. The fold adds extra dimension and creates such a fun surprise when the card is opened.

During the live demonstration I shared how to create the Z Fold base, build the sweet little scene, and add dimension while keeping the card easy to mail.

If you missed the live video, you’ll find the replay below. I hope this card inspires you to create a fun birthday card for someone special in your life. 💜
