It got a little heated in my stamping room today…with my Hot Foil Machine doing its work! I love how these cards came out!
I made a video showing how I made them…
The Botanical Glow card was easy peasy with the Magical Christmas Hot Foil Dies as the sentiment!
But I definitely tried to do a cartwheel when my friend Cheryl suggested using the Scalloped Blooms Dies to cut out the snowflake in the A Christmas Wish Hot Foil Dies…and it worked beautifully! YIPEE! What a great discovery in the Stamp Room today! I ended up making the A Christmas Wish Card into a Gift Card/Money Holder by simply adding a pocket inside.
The Light Pink Hot Foil looks pretty dark in the photo but it is so complementary to the Barely Blush cardstock and DSP along with the Hot Silver Foil for the words.

I am over the moon with this awesome Gatefold card that keeps the gatefold closed by tucking in the bottom corners! I did use Very Vanilla on my card but in trying to lighten up the card because the lighting was horrible in my room tonight, it appears kind of Basic Beige in color- but…Basic Beige is in the DSP!
I first saw a different card using this fun fold made by Connie Stewart, and then I made one for my Busy Bee Bag using the Painted Pumpkins Bundle and now one for you who follow my blog! Watch how easy this clever card technique is to make:
I used the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder to jazz up some Gold Foil on the corners because this FANCY Stampin’ Up! Neutral Noel Designer Series Paper deserved all the glam! I did the vanilla arch flat and embossed. You can see Very Vanilla here- photo was taken in daytime…lol.
Pay no attention to the banner behind the tag- remember how I put in on and then said not to that it doesn’t work…lol.
Measurements: Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored in 2-1/8″ on each side of the 8-1/2″ side, DSP on gatefolds: 1-3/4″ x 5-1/8″, Vanilla inside: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″, Pecan Pie square that cuts on diagonal: 2-3/4″, Gold Foil cut on diagonal: 2-1/4″

I got to play with my Stampin’ Up! Frosted Pinecones Bundle and here’s what I came up with…a fun Side Gatefold with a Slip Under Lock. I die cut the pinecones on this one…
Super duper easy to do…take a look:
Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 3-1/2″ and 9″ on the 11″ side and then cut a sliver off the 2″ section from 9″ to 11″ to help it close easier, DSP: 3″ x 3-3/4″ bordered by 3-1/4″ x 4″ cardstock and 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ bordered by 1-3/4″ x 4″ cardstock, inside white: 4″ x 5-1/4″
____________________________________
Die cutting is fast and full of texture but I really like using the Frosted Pinecones Decorative Masks even though I was quite confused with the Mask #5 in the video. I mean, maybe try it before you do a video, Cindy! So, here is the card with Masks #1- #4. Mask #1 and #2 Pecan Pie, #3 Early Espresso, and #4 Mossy Meadow.
Then, after the video was done…I finished this card using Mask #5 with Pecan Pie again. What do you think? I think I like it! As you can see, I also die cut it and popped it up off the card. I used the Hot Foil Magical Christmas with Red Foil for the sentiment.
