Each of our designers shares a handmade creation featuring the technique, along with ideas to inspire you! Today, we're diving deep into a technique that I think you’ll all want to try: Metallic Embellishing

When You Want a WOW on Your Project…

If you’ve ever been crafting and thought, “hmmmm… this needs something…” then you’re going to want to check out today’s Blog Hop!

Metallic embellishing is a great way to add a WOW texture to your project. There are lots of ways that you can approach it: self-adhesive embellishments, specialty paper, or now HOT FOIL!

 
 

What You Need to Know About Hot Foil

Here’s why I believe that Hot Foil is the most revolutionary tool to hit the craft scene since die-cutting :

✔ It’s fast

You add metallic features to your projects in just minutes.

✔ It’s about being over the top

This is a tool that takes a good card and makes it spectacular!

✔ It allows you to highlight your creativity

Have you ever been in a creative rut? This tool will make you want to pull out all of your supplies and continue crafting until you have no paper left (wait… is that even possible??!!)

Here’s what you need to make the most of your Hot Foil System to get stunning, metallic features:

  1. Stampin’ Hot Foil System

  2. Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

  3. Hot Foil (this comes in many colours)

  4. Hot Foil Dies

  5. Reverse Hot Foil Die

This is a system that I feel EVERY avid crafter needs in their collection!

The Reverse Hot Foil Die allows you to take the left over foil and apply the negative image (what’s left in the foil). A great way to ensure you use up all of your foil pieces!
