Today I'm sharing one simple card and one easy technique that can completely change the look of your embossed backgrounds!

I'm using the beautiful Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder with Golden Glow Pearlized Specialty Paper, then lightly dragging a white ink pad over the raised design. It brings out all that gorgeous sunflower detail while still letting the shimmer of the paper show through.

I'm also adding a strip of the new Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper and using the Phrases & Frames Bundle for the greeting.

And I have another card to show you! I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder with Copper Foil on a fun easel card, along with a sneak peek of new Designer Series Paper coming in September.

Want the Copper Foil easel card project sheet? Make sure you're on my email list! I'll be sharing it FREE with my newsletter subscribers.

Every card needs something unexpected… and maybe a little shiny. ✨

I watch a lot of home design shows a lot, and I'm always drawn to that one unexpected detail that makes a room special.

I think cards need that, too.

On this one, it's definitely the butterfly flying right off the front of this double Z Fold card!

And then there's that glimmer of foil on the butterflies.
(Edited to say I'll send the project sheet for this card to my newsletter subscribers Sunday. Link is in the comments).
I love cards that have a WOW without having ten thousand complicated steps. Give me a beautiful focal point, a fun fold, some pretty colors…and one little detail that makes you stop and look.

I showed how to make this Fun Fold card during my live class this week, so if you'd like to give it a try, I'll put the video link in the comments. ❤️

What's your favorite way to add that little something unexpected to a card—bling, foil, a fun fold, beautiful paper…or something else?

Hugs,
Joey ❤️

Would you REALLY use a Hot Foil Machine? 🤔

That’s what I wondered, too!

But here I am…loving it and finding all kinds of ways to use it! ✨

For these three cards, I used hot foil three completely different ways—a shimmering background, beautiful sentiments, and gorgeous foiled butterflies that become the WOW focal point on a fabulous fun fold!

It’s been so fun discovering just how versatile hot foiling can be.

Want a closer look at all three cards, including the full video tutorial?

Comment “FOIL” and I’ll send you all the details! 💗

Ready to add a little extra WOW to your handmade cards?

Today I'm sharing three different ways to use the Stampin' Up! Hot Foil Machine—from an easy foiled background to beautiful sentiments and a showstopper fun fold with gorgeous gold-foiled butterflies.

We'll create three cards while exploring how you can use hot foil for:

Backgrounds that add beautiful shine and detail

Sentiments you can foil and die cut all at once

Focal images that can be colored to create something really special

Whether you already have the Hot Foil Machine or you're still wondering what kind of projects you could make with it, I hope these projects give you some new ideas and inspiration!
