More holiday fun with hot foil

More holiday fun with hot foil

Welcome to Day 1 of a two-day blog hop for the Holiday Sparkle release from Simon Says Stamp! Today I’m sharing a new addition to the CZ Design collection—my first hot foil plate!

This plate is designed to coordinate with my Joyful word and shadow die, so if you already have that, you can cut out the foiled word with the shadow die!

The Aura Glimmer Foil is such a cool product! It looks different at every angle.

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

Now onto the blog hop fun!

    Really pretty card, I like your pretty to pretty side tip for foiling, I’ve messed that up so many times, think I’ll get out the glimmer and try again! Thanks!!

    I really appreciate that the hot foil joyful can be used with the shadow die (very nice). The scattered dot pattern hot foil die is absolutely stunning. The card looked FUN and I can see it being used for a myriad of occasions

    Oh what a great idea that I can mass-produce for my family & friends! I need to run on over to SSS and grab this die!!!

  27. Bets Greene says

    Cathy, that card is stunning! I love that you use non-traditional colors. Your video, and I do follow you on youtube, is so helpful. As I don’t own a hot foil plate (yet!) I am adding it to my Wish List! Thanks so much for being a cool teacher!

    I love that Simon is making foil dies with your signature font. Excited to buy this one!

    Love your card with all that glimmery goodness!! I haven’t yet jumped on the foiling bandwagon but especially love the sentiments in foil!

  31. Lisa B Harvey-Reber says

    I went down the foiling rabbit hole a few months ago and my foil collection is beginning to rival my die collection. I’m going to need a bigger craft room. Love the non-traditional colors!

  32. Sharon Gullikson says

    I like how the gold goes with those colors. I never would have thought to pair them. Gorgeous

  33. Pam Dunbar says

    Love that scattered dot hot foil plate it is so versatile for any occasion! I don’t have a glimmer hot foil machine, need to put that on the Christmas list. 😊 Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, love your style.

  35. Kay Furnish says

    So much fun! Change the greeting to “Cheers” for a festive birthday or anniversary card too. I popped over to YouTube to give you a THUMBS UP over there….gotta give credit where credit is due on YouTube!

    Beautiful card Cathy–so cool that you have a foiling plate to match the “joyful” set! What a terrific new release from Simon!

  48. Sue Smith says

    Love the hot foil background. I have to be honest, I don’t know about the colors you used to blend the background. Guess I am more a traditional type gal!! Your card is great ❤

  57. Jeanne Beam says

    Beautiful card! Love the foiling on the background and sentiment. So creative.
    Thanks for sharing.

  71. Judy Inukai says

    Gorgeous glittery card. I always enjoy your boops, but in this case with the sparkly background, no boops were necessary Your Joyful die is wonderful and matching it with the already released die is a definite plus.

  76. Debbie Selby says

    Thanks for making the hot foil joyful match the previously released die. It is appreciated.
