Hello! Today I am sharing my Hot Foil Press cards from my previous blog post…these cards were so fun to make, and I just HAD to create a video to share the process.
I am also sharing some new paper I found that works great for the Hot Foil Press. Hope you Enjoy! Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:
I’d love to hear your adventures with the Hot Foil Press! Have you found a paper you love for this technique?
Thanks for stopping by!
Hello and welcome to the Altenew Glint & Glimmer Blog hop! Today I am excited to join in to share the NEW foil plates and other product newly released from Altenew! CLICK here to check out the entire new release.
I have SIX cards to share, so let’s get started:
I fell in LOVE with the Anemone Branch Stencil & Die….you can stencil on the branch, and stencil the flowers separately to die cut. Then POP them up for a simply stunning look!
The Deco Diamonds Stencil is gorgeous and here I used it for dry embossing on the background panel. Want to see it in use with inks? Check out my next card.
I inked up the background with the stunning Deco Diamonds Stencil…this is a 2 piece stencil so it’s easy to add 2 different colors. Here I used a coral and a grey ink on the background.
The small lines are FOILED using the new Tiny Patterns Hot Foil Plate. It is so simple and fun to use. I added a flower from the previous anemone stencil & die (which quickly became a favorite of mine).
The Tiny Patterns Hot Foil Plates are the perfect size for a tag also! I used another one of the patterns on this tag.
The Sentiments are FOILED around the edges using the Sentiment Banners Hot Foil Plate…which gives you many sizes of foiled banners all at once! Cut them ALL out at the same time with the Sentiment Banners Cover Die. These banners are sized perfectly to go with the Sentiment Strips stamp set 1 and Sentiment Strips stamp set 2.
The new Gilded Rose Hot Foil Plate is amazing and really makes a statement. The best part is, after you foil the rose, you can then color it using inks and the Gilded Rose Layering Stencil Set!! Oh, my! I fell directly in love with this combo, and they do offer a Gilded Rose bundle, too!
To show off that rose, I finished the card off simply using the Peace Die inked in the same colors that I used on the rose.
Oh the Sunburst Doily Hot Foil Plate & Die Set is a beautiful match!! They come sold TOGETHER, so you can do all sorts of amazing techniques with this one. Here I foiled the Sunburst Doily with a silver foil, then die cut the shape and popped it up on a background embossed with the new Dotty Circles 3D Embossing Folder.
With the extra foil, I hot foiled a white sheet of cardstock and cut it into a shaped card! (card on the left)…Foil is notoriously difficult to photograph, so I hope you can see how gorgeous this Sunburst Doily is foiled.
I foiled the Sentiment Banners Hot Plate Plate and Die set using some turquoise foil…which perfectly matches with this card.
The Double Rainbow Stencil creates a beautiful slimline card with multiple rainbows. You could, of course, cut it down to an A2 size card as well. I used the remaining turquoise banners for the sentiment on this one. Those stars are ALSO from the Sentiment Banners Hot Foil and Cover Die…they are like a little happy bonus!

Hello! I am excited to share this project with you today….we are making Candy Books from cardstock! Remember those lifesaver books that made an appearance this time of year? Well, that’s kinda the idea with this project.
I have a video with ALL the details of how to make this, watch it here or in HD on YouTube:
For the front cover I created a book jacket with silver vellum (I love this stuff!). I heat embossed the stamp from “All I Want for Christmas” on the vellum and I really love how it turned out.
For the inside, I stamped in red and green using the Tough Nut to Crack stamp set.
On the spine, I added some details with stamps and glitter tape. I love the font of the scripty “Jingle all the way.”
For the back of the book, I wanted some interesting texture, so I used the Damask stamp to clear heat emboss a design.
I have a few other ideas for the book front cover, too. You could easily change out this book jacket cover for a stenciled front cover. Here’s my favorites from the newest Maker Forte release:
I hope you enjoyed these projects today…these are definitely favorites of mine!

Hello, I am so happy that it’s pumpkin time…I have a pumpkin patch card to share with you today. I’m using some new stencils from Miss Ink Stamps with some of my favorite stamp sets!
Watch the short video below or in HD on YouTube:
I have an ALL-TIME favorite pumpkin dessert that is only available this time of year. It is from Vito’s Italian Restaurant and is called Pumpkin Crunch Cake. It is so so good! I’ve tried to re-create it several times with no luck. So I just have to settle for eating it while it’s available this month only! I couldn’t stop thinking about it while creating this card.
For the background, I added some glitter gel (I love a bit of glitter on my card!) I share all the details in the video!
