New Hot Foil System Available Today!

July 10, 2026July 9, 2026 | 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.

New Horizons Meets Inspiring Canopy

January 9, 2022January 8, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card features products from the New Horizons Suite in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, along with Inspiring Canopy, one of my favorite dies from the annual catalog.

This suite was the first thing that caught my eye in the new mini catalog, especially the stunning designer series paper. You can make simple and beautiful cards with just the DSP alone and a greeting, however the fun comes in when using the DSP as a backdrop to incorporate die cuts, stamped images, and accessories.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Pale Papaya cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Select a piece of paper from the New Horizons Designer Series Papers and trim to 5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″. I chose a paper that had more subtle sections of grass and sky to get the look I wanted. In the upper right corner of the DSP, stamp the seagulls from the On the Horizon stamp set with Misty Moonlight ink once at full strength. Stamp the image again, moving slightly down and to the left of the first image, and stamping off once before stamping onto the paper.
Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 3/4″ and run it through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the trees from the Inspiring Canopy dies.
Color the trees using blending brushes. I used Old Olive as the primary color for the grass, adding a bit of Soft Succulent. For the tree trunks and branches I started with Soft Suede for the tree trunks, Crumb Cake for the bottom portion of the branches and Sahara Sand for the tops of the branches, going over each section to build up the color. I also stamped the grass part with the smallest grass image from the Oceanfront stamp set. I used Old Olive ink and randomly stamped the image across the area, some at full strength and some stamping off first.

Adhere the die cut to the DSP with liquid glue. You can also use adhesive sheets but you have to prep the cardstock with the sheet prior to die cutting.
Adhere the DSP piece to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp “Breathe” with Soft Suede ink on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and trim with Paper Snips Scissors. Adhere to card front with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. My strip of cardstock was narrow so I cut the dimensionals in half.
I added some Cinnamon Cider embellishments from the Pebbles Enamel Shapes right above the grassy area for an added accent.

For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Stamp the large grass image from the On the Horizon stamp set with Old Olive ink several times approximately 1 1/2″ from the bottom of the piece. Alternate stamping at full strength and stamping off. I used one of the strips of DSP that was left over from the piece I used for the card front, cutting it down to 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhered it to the bottom of the piece, covering up the bottoms of the stamped leaves, leaving just the top of the leaves showing.

Slice of Happiness Rosh Hashanah Card

September 8, 2021September 8, 2021 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! I made today’s card to send to my friends and relatives for the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah. Stampin’ Up! hasn’t had a Jewish holiday stamp set for many years so every year I take on the challenge of using SU products to create my holiday cards. It is amazing what you can come up with! I can usually adapt one of our packages of Designer Series Papers from the holiday catalog, or sometimes there are stamp sets that contain images that are symbols of the Jewish New Year. When I saw the gorgeous Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog, the rich purples made me think of grapes, which is one of the symbols. I thought immediately of the retired stamp set, Slice of Life from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, because one of the images is grapes. I used this stamp set to make my holiday card in 2019 and used the pomegranate image on that card. You can see it in this blog post. I used a set of Jewish holiday greetings from a retired Papertrey Ink stamp set. I also used one of my favorite fun-folds, which is a great way to showcase a stamped image.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 6 1/2″. Score at 2 1/4″. Fold and crease sharply with a bone folder.
Cut two strips of Blackberry Beauty DSP at 2″ x 5 1/4″. I used two different papers, one for the front fold and one for the inside fold. Adhere to both sides of the fold.
Smaller card base – cut a piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock at 6 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and score at 3 1/4″. Fold and crease sharply with a bone folder. Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstsock at 3″ x 4″, stamp greeting with Cinnamon Cider ink and adhere to the inside left side of the card base. Cut a scrap piece of Gold Foil and run it through your die cutting machine with one of the small leaf dies from the Beautiful Leaves Dies. Adhere with small dots of liquid glue to bottom left of the greeting piece.

Cut piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and run through your die cutting machine with the largest rectangle from the Stitched so Sweetly dies.
Use the direct-to-rubber coloring technique to color the grape image with Stampin’ Write Markers. I used Old Olive for the leaves, Cinnamon Cider for the branches and Rich Razzleberry for the grapes. Stamp onto the Very Vanilla cardstock, leaving room to stamp the greeting at the bottom. Stamp the greeting with Cinnamon Cider ink. Add some sparkle to the grapes with Wink of Stella.

Adhere the piece to the front of the Cinnamon Cider card base. Note that the folded base will open from left to right so make sure the opening is in the right direction before you adhere the stamped image!
Adhere the smaller card to the Rich Razzleberry card base so that the front of the smaller card overlaps the front fold of the larger card.

Nature’s Harvest with Blending Brush Background

August 25, 2021August 25, 2021 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card features products from the beautiful new Harvest Meadow Suite in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. It uses the Nature’s Harvest stamp set, Harvest Dies and Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. This is another one of the cards we made in my class on using blending brushes last week. It is an easy card to put together.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut two pieces of paper from the Harvest Meadow DSP pack. Cut the Calypso Coral piece at 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and the Soft Succulent piece at 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere both pieces to card front.
Cut a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock at 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ and run through your die cutting machine with the 3rd largest Stitched Rectangle die.

Cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 3″ x 4 1/2″ and run through your die cutting machine with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die.
To do the blended ink background, first apply Bumblebee ink with a blending brush to the top third of the piece. Gradually build the color to the depth you like, a little bit at a time. Next, apply Calypso Coral ink, making this section more narrow than the Bumblebee section. Since Calypso Coral is the main color on the card I wanted to use it as more of an accent in the background piece. Last, apply Soft Succulent ink to the bottom third of the piece, again building up the color to the depth you like.
Stamp the coneflower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set on the background piece with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
Stamp greeting on scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with the Memento ink and cut out with the small label die from the Harvest Dies set.
Wrap a piece of linen thread three times around bottom portion of the blended background piece and secure on the back with a piece of tape. Adhere the greeting over the wrapped thread with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere blended background piece to the Soft Succulent cardstock piece.
Adhere the entire piece to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Raven – Another Idea

October 20, 2019October 20, 2019 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today I’m sharing another card using the awesome The Raven stamp set. This was another one of the cards that we made recently in my Halloween card class. It is a gatefold and features the Monster Bash Designer Series papers and the new Shimmer Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut piece of Crushed Curry cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 3 1/4″ and 8 3/4″ on the long edge. Fold on both score lines and run bone folder along both edges.

Cut two pieces of DSP at 3″ x 4″ and two pieces at 2″ x 4″. Adhere to front and inner flaps of the card.

Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp greeting of your choice from the stamp set With Memento black ink. Stamp tree branch with black ink in corner. Adhere to center of the card.

Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. When I looked at the raven and branch stamps I thought that the shimmer embossing powder would work great on these images and I love how it it looks! Run the Embossing Buddy over the cardstock and then stamp the raven and branch with Versamark. Pour the embossing powder over the stamped images, shake off excess powder and use a heat tool to emboss. Use the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle die and run through your die cutting machine.

Cut piece of Basic Black cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″. Use the 6th largest Stitched Rectangle die and run through your die cutting machine. Adhere to embossed piece. Apply glue to the left side only on this piece and adhere to left front card flap.

Stamp “Beware” greeting with Memento black ink on scrap piece of Crushed Curry cardstock. Select one of the dies from the Ornate Frame Dies set and run through your die cutting machine. Adhere to the embossed piece.
