What Is the Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System?

The Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System is designed to create stunning metallic designs using heat, pressure, and specialty foil.

Think of it as adding the perfect finishing touch to the projects you're already creating. Beautiful sentiments, delicate florals, elegant backgrounds, butterflies, borders, and more can all be transformed with brilliant foil that catches the light and makes your handmade creations truly stand out.

The best part?

You don't have to learn an entirely new crafting hobby.

You simply add one extra step to the cards, scrapbook layouts, gift tags, mini albums, and paper crafting projects you already love making.

Is Hot Foiling Right for You?

Hot foiling may be the perfect addition to your craft room if you:

• Love making handmade cards
• Enjoy scrapbooking and memory keeping
• Want to add elegant metallic details to your projects
• Already own (or have been considering) the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Enjoy trying new crafting techniques
• Appreciate quality tools you'll use for years

If you're brand new to stamping and paper crafting, I always recommend becoming comfortable with the basics first. Once you've discovered how much fun stamping can be, hot foiling is a wonderful next step that adds even more creativity to your projects.

What Makes the Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System Different?

One of my favorite things about this system is how naturally it fits into the products we already know and love.

The Hot Foil System is designed to work with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, so if you already own one, you're well on your way.

Instead of replacing your stamps, dies, embossing folders, or Designer Series Paper, the Hot Foil System enhances them.

Imagine adding:

• Gold foil greetings
• Silver floral images
• Copper backgrounds
• Elegant borders
• Metallic accents on scrapbook layouts
• Foiled titles for memory keeping
• Shimmering embellishments for special occasions

It's the same style of crafting you already enjoy . . . with a little extra sparkle.

What's Included?

The Stampin' Up! Hot Foil System comes with everything you need to begin foiling.

From there, you'll choose the foil plates, coordinating dies, and foil colors that best fit your creative style.

The first collection includes beautiful:

• Floral designs
• Sentiments
• Backgrounds
• Butterflies
• Coordinating dies
• Gorgeous metallic foils

And this is only the beginning. Stampin' Up! has already shared that many more hot foil products and coordinating collections are planned for future releases.

Bonus . . . When you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System, Stampin’ Up! also includes a FREE online craft class filled with techniques, project ideas, and creative inspiration to help you get the most from your new machine.

Do I Need the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine?

YES.

The Hot Foil System is designed to be used with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

If you already own one, you're ready to start foiling.

If not, I highly recommend adding it to your craft room. It isn't just for hot foiling . . . you'll also use it with dies and embossing folders for countless future projects.

It's truly one of the hardest-working tools in my craft room.

This short introductory video from Stampin’ Up! gives you a great overview of how the Hot Foil System works and what you’ll need to get started. It’s the perfect first step before creating your first project.

Why I'm Excited

I'll be honest . . .

My Hot Foil System arrived while I was in Colorado with Morgan for softball, so I haven't had the opportunity to dive in just yet.

That means we'll be learning together.

Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be sharing my first projects, favorite tips, beginner-friendly tutorials, product reviews, scrapbook layouts, handmade cards, and plenty of inspiration as I explore everything this amazing new tool can do.

I can't wait to take you along for the journey.

Everything You Need to Know About Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives and the New Product Lists

JULY ONLINE EXCLUSIVES ARE HERE.

One of the questions I hear most often from customers is:

"Where did you find that product? I don't see it in the catalog!"

The answer is often simple . . . it's an Online Exclusive. 🎉

Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives have completely changed the way we discover new products. Instead of waiting for the next catalog release, Stampin' Up! can introduce exciting new stamps, dies, Designer Series Papers, scrapbooking products, kits, embellishments, and more throughout the year.

One of the biggest differences between Online Exclusives and catalog products is that there is no fixed end date. Some products may be reordered when inventory gets low, while others may only be available while supplies last. This flexibility allows Stampin' Up! to bring us even more fresh and exciting products throughout the year.

To make shopping easier, Stampin' Up! has introduced Online Exclusive Product Lists. These downloadable lists include:

📋 Item Numbers
📋 Product Names
📋 Prices
📋 Product Images
📋 Coordinating Products Organized Together

To View the July Online Exclusives click the graphic above.

These lists make it much easier to browse all the products released during a particular Online Exclusive launch and quickly identify coordinating items for your next project.

It's important to note that these product lists are not updated when items go out of stock. They serve as a reference guide, while the online store remains the best place to check current availability.

Another helpful feature on the Stampin' Up! website is the ability to filter by suite. This allows you to see coordinating products grouped together and makes planning projects much easier.

The traditional Online Exclusive flyers aren't going anywhere either. Those flyers remain an excellent marketing resource for highlighting newly released products and inspiring your wish list.

Because some Online Exclusive products are only available while supplies last, I always encourage customers to purchase their "must-have" items sooner rather than later. If a product is at the top of your wish list, waiting may mean missing out entirely.

The Online Exclusive program continues to grow and evolve, giving us access to more creative possibilities than ever before. Whether you're a card maker, scrapbooker, memory keeper, or paper crafting enthusiast, there is always something new to discover.


Wanting to here what I have to say about it? Check out my YouTube Video.

One of the things I love most about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is helping crafters discover products they may not have found on their own. Online Exclusives are filled with hidden gems, incredible coordinating collections, and fresh creative inspiration that often never make it into a catalog. By checking the Online Exclusives section regularly and reviewing the new product lists, you'll always be among the first to see the latest stamps, dies, papers, embellishments, scrapbooking products, and kits. Whether you're looking for your next favorite crafting tool or simply want to stay up-to-date on the newest releases, Online Exclusives are a wonderful place to explore. Be sure to bookmark the section, keep your wish list handy, and remember . . . when you find a product you absolutely love, don't wait too long because some of these treasures may only be available while supplies last. Happy crafting, and I can't wait to see what inspires your next creative project. 💕

Create 2 Elegant Scrapbook Layouts & 4 Coordinating Cards with the Lovely & Beautiful Collection

One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! collections is how effortlessly they work together. When every paper, embellishment, ribbon, stamp, and die has been designed to coordinate, creating beautiful projects becomes easy and enjoyable.

For this week's I Made This Myself Monday, I challenged myself to create multiple projects using the stunning Lovely & Beautiful Collection. The result was two double-page scrapbook layouts and four coordinating handmade cards that showcase just how versatile this collection can be.

The star of these projects is the Lovely & Beautiful 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper. The soft floral imagery, delicate color palette, and touches of gold foil instantly create an elegant foundation for both scrapbooking and card making. The papers feature beautiful combinations of Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Darling Duckling, Peach Pie, and Old Olive that blend together effortlessly.

To add additional layers and sophistication, I incorporated the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack. The vellum floral pieces, frames, and decorative accents made creating focal points quick and easy while adding beautiful dimension and texture to each project.

The Beautifully Celebrated Stamp Set and Dies helped tie everything together by providing elegant sentiments, decorative accents, and detailed framing elements. Finishing touches came from the White with Gold Ribbon and Pearlized Faceted Circles, adding just the right amount of sparkle and elegance.

What I love most about these projects is how easily one collection can move between memory keeping and card making. Whether you're documenting special family moments, creating wedding memories, celebrating anniversaries, or making heartfelt cards, this collection provides endless possibilities.

I hope today's projects inspire you to look at your favorite collections in new ways and challenge yourself to create multiple project types from a single suite of products.

🌸 Layout 1 – A Day to Remember 🌸

Some memories deserve a little extra elegance. 💕

This first double-page scrapbook layout from my I Made This Myself Monday series showcases the beautiful combination of the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack from Stampin' Up!

I absolutely love the soft floral patterns, touches of gold foil, delicate vellum accents, and subtle sparkle throughout this design. ✨ The combination of Fresh Freesia-inspired florals, Peach Pie accents, and gold details creates a layout that feels timeless and sophisticated while still leaving plenty of room for your favorite photos and journaling.

The gold floral focal points, vellum labels, linen thread bows, and pearlized embellishments add beautiful texture and dimension without overwhelming the page. 🌿💛

Whether you're documenting a wedding, anniversary, family gathering, graduation, vacation, or any special milestone, this layout truly lives up to its title . . . A Day to Remember.

🌸 Layout 2 – Simply the Best 🌸

Some moments, some memories, and some people can only be described one way... Simply the Best. 💕

This second double-page scrapbook layout from my I Made This Myself Monday series combines beautiful florals, soft textures, and cheerful colors to create a layout that's perfect for celebrating life's most treasured memories.

I used the gorgeous Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper along with elements from the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle to create a design that feels both elegant and uplifting. 🌿✨

The layered floral accents, dimensional die cuts, linen thread bows, and subtle sparkle add just the right amount of detail while still keeping the focus on your photos and story. I especially love the bold title treatment that instantly draws your eye across the page and sets the tone for the memories you'll preserve.

The coordinating right-hand page features a hidden journaling area with the sentiment "This calls for a Celebration" . . . making this layout perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, vacations, achievements, family gatherings, or any occasion worth celebrating. 🎉💐

This layout is a wonderful reminder that sometimes the best memories aren't the biggest moments . . . they're simply the moments spent with the people we love most. ❤️

🌸💌 4 Cards, Endless Possibilities. 💌🌸

One of my favorite things about creating with coordinated Stampin' Up! products is how easy it is to create a variety of cards for different occasions while still maintaining a beautiful, cohesive look. ✨

For this week's I Made This Myself Monday, I used the stunning Lovely & Beautiful Collection to create four elegant cards featuring gorgeous florals, touches of gold foil, vellum accents, ribbon, and layered die cuts.

💕 Thinking of You –
A heartfelt card perfect for letting someone know they're on your mind.

💍 To the Happy Couple –
A beautiful card for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, or celebrating love.

🌸 Wedding Wishes –
Elegant floral layers and soft colors make this one perfect for congratulating a special couple.

💖 Holding You In My Heart –
A thoughtful design that works for encouragement, sympathy, friendship, or simply sending love.

The combination of the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper, Beautifully Adorned Ephemera Pack, Beautifully Celebrated Bundle, White with Gold Ribbon, and Pearlized Faceted Circles creates cards that feel sophisticated, timeless, and special. ✨

I love how these designs could easily be adapted for so many occasions while showcasing the beautiful floral patterns and gold foil details throughout the collection.


Thank you so much for stopping by and spending part of your day with me. One of the greatest joys of crafting is discovering new ways to stretch your supplies and create meaningful projects that tell stories, celebrate milestones, and preserve memories for years to come. I hope these scrapbook layouts and handmade cards inspire you to pull out your favorite papers, experiment with layering, and create something beautiful of your own. Creativity doesn't have to be complicated to be meaningful, and sometimes a coordinated collection like the Lovely & Beautiful Collection is all it takes to turn inspiration into finished projects you'll treasure. Until next time, happy crafting, happy memory keeping, and I'll see you next Monday for another edition of I Made This Myself Monday. 🌸✨
