The wait is finally over! Beginning today, Friday, July 10, you’ll be able to get your hands on the brand-new Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share it with you!
If you’ve ever admired cards with gorgeous metallic details and elegant foiled designs, this new system makes it easy to create those stunning effects right in your own craft room.
What is the Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil System?
Unlike traditional heat embossing, hot foiling uses heat and pressure to transfer beautiful metallic foil directly onto your projects. The result is crisp, smooth, luxurious foil designs that instantly elevate any card, scrapbook page, or paper crafting project.
Here are just a few of the things you’ll love:
Create beautiful metallic sentiments and intricate designs with brilliant shine.
Add elegant foil accents to cardstock, specialty papers, vellum, and more.
Achieve clean, professional-looking results with ease.
Coordinate with exclusive Stampin’ Up! Hot Foil Plates designed to work seamlessly with your favorite products.
Pair foiled designs with embossing, die cutting, stamping, blending, and layering techniques for endless creative possibilities.
Choose from a variety of foil colors to customize projects for every season and occasion.
Add that extra “wow” factor that makes your handmade cards truly unforgettable.
Whether your style is clean and simple or beautifully layered, the Hot Foil System opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities.
