More fun with hot foil (plus a fun blog hop for Simon Says Stamp!)

April 21, 2022

More fun with hot foil (plus a fun blog hop for Simon Says Stamp!)

Welcome to the Day 1* blog hop for the Happy & Joyful release from Simon Says Stamp! Today, I’m playing with a gorgeous hot foil plate, coordinating die and a small Happy Birthday on a Line die.

*check out Day 2 here!

My attempts at using hot foil have gotten SO much better since discovering Hammermill cardstock! I finally can give my Glimmer hot foil system a workout!

Here is the video showing you how I created this card:

    This was a very elegant card. Seems like the SSS hot foil dies work very well. I did buy the Hammermill, also, and find it does make a big difference. Thanks for all your tips.

    Very pretty card. I am using the hammermill paper too and I find when I use ink through a layering stencil I can actually feel the layers on the finished product. It is like the paper puffs up the more and more you add ink which I thought was pretty cool because it adds really subtle texture to the color.
