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.
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 is GORGEOUS! LOVE the shiny gold with the pretty pinks, greens and yellows. This project turned out amazing.
Leslie L. says
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.
Mirella Rogan says
So elegant, delicate & feminine – LOVE IT!

Beautifully designed, that rose and blooms stamp is everything! It’s just perfect! LOVE the hot foiled accents, so gorgeous.
