How to Use the NEW Stampin' Up! Hot Foiling System with the Botanical Glow Foiling Bundle

 Hi Friends!

If you've been curious about the brand new Stampin' Up! Hot Foiling System, today's project is the perfect place to start!

In today's demonstration, I'll show you how to use the Hot Foiling System while creating this elegant birthday card featuring the beautiful Botanical Glow Foiling Bundle. This bundle combines gorgeous botanical images with coordinating dies, allowing you to create beautifully detailed cards with stunning foiled accents.

One of my favourite things about this design is how the soft green blended background, delicate pink foiling and layered vellum leaves work together to create a card that is elegant without being complicated. Whether you're brand new to hot foiling or looking for fresh ideas, I hope this project inspires you to give this exciting new technique a try.

Be sure to watch the complete video tutorial below, where I'll walk you through each step, demonstrate how to use the new Hot Foiling System, share helpful tips along the way, and provide all of the measurements so you can recreate this beautiful birthday card in your own craft room.

 Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing this adorable note card featuring the Wild Bunch stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I couldn't resist using this sweet little rainbow snail as the focal point of the card. The soft Pool Party background, colourful striped paper, and textured details create a cheerful design that would brighten anyone's day.

Beautiful Bloom Boutique Z Fun Fold with Hidden Bookmark

 Hi Friends!

Earlier this week I shared this beautiful Z Fun Fold card live featuring Floral Flight Accents and Bloom Boutique Specialty Designer Paper, and this project was such a fun one to create.

Not only does this card feature an elegant Z fold design, but it also includes a removable bookmark hidden right inside the card. I always love projects that have a little extra surprise detail tucked inside.

The soft blue floral patterns paired with the bold black die-cut accents create such a striking contrast, while the interactive fold makes this card extra special for the recipient.

During the live demonstration I shared how to create the fold, add the bookmark element, and layer the decorative pieces for dimension and balance.

I received a swap card from my friend Shauna Mikuliak with this fold and book mark, and knew I had to share how to create it. This is the card she sent me.

If you missed the live video, you can watch the replay below and create along with me. I hope this project inspires you to try a fun fold card with a little hidden surprise inside. 💜

Elegant Lovely Arrangements Card Featuring Peaceful Pines

 Hi Friends!

Today I’m sharing this elegant handmade card featuring the Lovely Arrangements bundle along with the beautiful new Peaceful Pines In Colour and coordinating designer paper.

I absolutely love the rich earthy feel of Peaceful Pines. It pairs beautifully with simple florals, layered patterns, ribbon, and clean layouts like this one. Sometimes you don’t need lots of layers or techniques to create a striking card — letting the colour and textures do the work can be just as beautiful.

For this project I combined patterned paper, ribbon, simple stamped images, and a clean sentiment layout to create a card that feels elegant but still easy to recreate. The soft floral image and layered greenery accents work perfectly with the richness of the new green tones.

I hope this card gives you a little inspiration to pull out your favourite new In Colours and start creating. 💜
