Botanical Glow Sending Bunches of Love

Botanical Glow Bundle + Party Banner Dies + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

When I heard that Stampin' Up!® was going to release a Hot Foil System..... I was over the moon excited! I saved up my Stampin' Rewards just to make sure I was ready to go when the big release took place. I've been playing with it a little bit (it is boat racing season at our house). This is my first card. I have found the system easy to use and I am thrilled with the results!

Stampin' Hot Foil System NA and Craft Class

There are loads of videos on how to use this system.... and if you buy the system now, you will also receive the free virtual class. Click HERE for the e-brochure of products being offered right now.

The foil does have a different look if you use the two-toned cardstock versus the milled cardstock. The two-toned cardstock has a smoother finish and the milled cardstock has a bit of a texture. Personally I like the look of both.

Botanical Glow Bundle + Party Banner Dies + Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies

This card was soooooo easy to make! After I cut the card front, I stamped the first set of leaves using Pretty Peacock ink on Lost Lagoon two tone card stock. Then I followed the instructions for the silver foil leaves. I used silver foil for the sentiment on Basic Black. Then I finished off the card with clear Dew Drops dots. So easy, right? I finished off the inside using the stamp to add a couple of leaves in two corners of the message liner.

Simply Leaves in Crumb Cake

Simply Leaves Bundle + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder
+ Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders

Crumb Cake is this weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color. I distressed the leaves a bit by running the edge of my scissors along the outer edge. I used a sponge dauber to add ink to the leaves, then I also used a sponge dauber to apply Crumb Cake ink on the embossed leaves.

Simply Leaves Bundle + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder
+ Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders

I really love the Textured Tree Ring Embossed layer. I didn't need to add color to it in order for it to coordinate with the leaves. A sweet detail. All the product details are listed with live links at the end of this post.

Lovely Arrangements in Basic Gray

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Fern & Flora Dies + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

Last Friday's Monochromatic Insta Hop featured color was Basic Gray. I chose to explore the tones of Basic Gray. I used a very light touch with a blending brush when I applied Basic Gray to the card front layer prior to embossing. I use full strength ink on the stamped leaves. And finally I used a blender pen with the ink pad to color the flowers.

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Fern & Flora Dies + Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder

I am so in love with the Textured Tree Ring Embossing Folder! I can center it, or off center it. I can use the front, or the back for a different texture. This one is a real winner in my assortment of embossing folders.

Then to say that I love the Fern & Flora dies is an understatement! The fern look amazing with florals or just a sentiment. They are beautiful in any color. The fern add just the right amount of texture to a focal point.
