Hot foil stamping is one of those super cool special print finishes that every designer wishes to use in their projects. It’s often combined with embossing to transfer metallic foil to the print stock with the use of a heated die, which leaves the designated portion of the design covered in a shiny reflective material.

Good morning Really horrible wet day here today but I am a happy bunny as Thursdays are now my Stampin UP days! I dont do any weddings on Thursday, just SU projects!!!!! And also my parcel with my new ribbons etc is out for delivery!! Woo hoo!!!!! OK, A few people asked for a tutorial on the trifold card that I made last week so here goes!! You need a Scorer/Trimmer, 1 sheet of A4 card and some patterned paper cut 9cm wide You need to score along the long side to divide the card into 3, I usually score at 9.9cm from one side and then score in at 9.9cm from the other side. You then need to slice off a piece on a diagonal as shown in picture below, start at top left corner and then come down to the bottom right but not right into the corner, I usally come up about 7 or 8 cms. You should then be left with a piece of card like this And folded it looks like this! Ok, this is how I make sure I have neat layers. I take a piece of patterned paper (9cm wide) and then lay it over the tallest section like the photo below. I then make a pencil mark (you can see it on the left) and then cut from the top corner to the pencil mark So you should be left with the piece like this Repeat on the smaller section using the same design, please note I havent stuck the tall piece down wonky!! It moved as I took the photo!!!! Then its really important that you turn the card over! The alternative patterned paper should be on the opposite side of the card to the white paper, like below You then should have something like this! I have then decorated mine using the Flight of the Butterfly set and the Tiny Tags Papers are Night and Day, only available for limited time! CLose ups! Right I am going to stalk the UPS driver now!!

Good Morning Friends!!! Our fabulous operator Kerin has an amazing tutorial for you today! Make sure you leave Kerin some love if you like it! First, the supplies used for this card are at the top: Stamps: Inspired by Nature Ink: Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze & Cherry Cobbler classic stampin' pads Card Stock: Shimmery White, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight Ink: Black StazOn Accessories: Basic Black Satin Ribbon, Brights Buttons, Linen Thread, plain white copy paper (non-SU!) Kerin wrote: "Today I'm going to show you how to sponge a sunset. For my card I've made a large sun, but you can make your sun any size you like, simply by cutting a different sized circle using your Circle Scissor Plus. For this card, I've set my Circle Scissor Plus to make a 3 1/4" circle out of plain white paper. You will use both pieces of paper after the circle has been cut out, so don't throw away either piece. *Tip - I prefer Shimmery White card stock for sponging sunsets, the colors seem to blend better with this type of card stock. First, select the colors you'd like to create your sunset with. I'm using Daffodil Delight for the sun, along with Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler for the sunset. After you've got your circle cut out, lay your piece of plain white paper over your 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Shimmery White card stock. If you use thin white paper, you'll be able to see through it to line up your "sun" where you want it. We will begin with the sun. Hold the piece of white paper in place, and start sponging outside of the circle, then bring the sponging in, swirling your sponge around in a circular motion as you go. Continue sponging on Daffodil Delight ink until the sun has been completely filled in with ink. When you remove the piece of white paper, your sun will look similar to this: Next, take the circle that you cut out from the plain white paper, and place it over the sun you just sponged as shown. *Tip - for a smaller sun, punch a circle out of a post it note, and it will already have a sticky back to it to help hold itself in place. Now start sponging with your lightest color first, in this case it is the Peach Parfait. Again, just like sponging the sun, begin off of the card stock and work the color in from the sides in a circular motion. This is what it will look like after adding the Peach Parfait: Next add the Pumpkin Pie ink, and overlap the section of Peach Parfait. Next sponge on the Cajun Craze. *Tip -Notice how especially on the darker colors I started rubbing my sponge way off of the card stock, this is because you don't want a dark blotch in your sponged area and you can blend more easily if you just add layers of color. Finally you will sponge on your Cherry Cobbler. *Tip - Feel free to expand your colors up and down as you like, blending each color in the the color above and below it. Here is your completed sunset, just stamp and assemble your card! This will work with lots of color combos, here's a card I made in all Basic Gray, I just added the Basic Gray more and more to get the level of darkness at the bottom." Thank you so much Kerin for your AMAZING tutorial! I'm sure all the Stamping 411 readers will be off to try your technique! Rubbah hugs, Selene Kempton

Hi, Stamping Friends! With the 4-up text weight prints and two additional 8.5x11 prints in the Club Stamp Graffiti paper collection, I had all sorts of colorful card making options this month. And between our polar vortex and the Alberta clipper, I'm so glad we had something cheerful to help us survive the month of January! Here are your cutting instructions to make a total of fifteen standard-sized (A2) cards: 1. Trim both 8.5x11 White Text Prints vertically at 4.5 and 4". Cut each 4x11 horizontally at 5.75 and 5.25". 2. Score each of the seven papers listed in the diagram below vertically at 4.25". Cut horizontally at 5.5" and fold in half to make fourteen card bases. 3. Trim the 8.5x11 Black Smooth Plain horizontally at 10.5, 8.25 and 5.5". Trim the 2.75x8.5 horizontally at 8 and 4". Cut the 2.25x8.5 and .5x8.5 horizontally at 4.25". Score and fold the 5.5x8.5 horizontally at 4.25". 4. Trim the 8.5x11 White Smooth Plain horizontally at 9.25, 6.75 and 4". Cut the 4x8.5 horizontally at 6.75, 4.75 and 2.75". Trim the 2.75x8.5 and 2.5x8.5 horizontally at 7.5 and 3.75". Cut the 1.75x8.5 horizontally at 6.5 and 3.25". 5. Trim the 8.5x11 Black Smooth Plain vertically at 8 and 4". Cut each 4x11 horizontally at 10.5 and 5.25". Trim the .5x11 horizontally at 5.5". I incorporated all sorts of techniques into the cards. I'll try to touch on just a few . . . The rainbow on the left card panel was made with swipes of ink directly from the Neon Ink Pads. The panel on the right was done with the Neon Dabbers. Two great looks! One 8.5x11 Black Smooth was trimmed into four 4x5.25" panels (see photo below). I brushed a coat of white acrylic paint onto each of them and used it as a stamping surface. The teens in my life are going to be so jazzed when they receive these lively cards. Such a quick set of cards . . . I used the 8.5x11 White Smooth Print as the card base and layered strips of washi tape behind the panels on the two cards on the left. The White Smooth panels are trimmed to fit quotes from the unmounted stamps in the collection. Each panel was edged with a Neon Dabber. Neon inks were used to alter the black/white panel in the card at right. The quad printed panels make it so easy! Check out the addition of the printed sequins included in the set! I hope you enjoy making your version of the cards. Have an artful day! Tricia

With a convenient inking pad, you can also print on fabrics : tea towels, clothes... Have fun, possibilities are endless! This design is inspired by Art Deco patterns. This stamp is also a beautiful looking item. I've made it with particular care. It's hand carved with special tools in rubber then mounted on wood (maritime pine from Landes, custom cut, sanded and varnished). It comes in a recycled kraft paper bag. ( OPTIONAL : in a little origami box I've made, decorated with your stamp) Your stamp have a slight ink stain because I've tried it to check it's ok. pattern size : 4 x4,7 cm Other stamps are available in my shop, have a look at the last pictures!
