I’m hot foiling anything and everything I can find these days and if I am being honest – you will too after you watch my video. Today we are making stationery style Holiday cards using Hot Foil and Heat embossing. Two simple techniques you will love, because if you are like me – I know you already love heat embossing.

CARD DETAILS
I used both Glimmer Hot Foil plates and my regular Spellbinders etched dies to hot foil this card. I started by foiling “Happy Holidays” and a beautiful snowflake like swirl in Matte Gold foil on Sea Glass cardstock from Simon Says Stamp.
Next, I used snowflakes dies from my stash and added additional foiled effects – I love the combination of gold and light blue on this card.
Next, I used stamps from my stash and gold heat embossed additional sentiments above and below “Happy Holidays”. I adhered my panel onto an A2 white top folding card base and embellished it using Gold Jewels from Pretty Pink Posh.

I love this card!
Such an elegant card! I love that you can foil and then foil again without ruining the original foiling and that the system also debosses. Thanks for sharing! This system is definitely going on my wishlist!
I am not sure I would have thought about adding embossing, but it’s good to know you need to think about what the hot plate will do if you start with that!! It does make perfect sense, but I don’t always think through a project when I start! Thank you.
So elegant with the foiling!
Your card is so elegant, in fact it is MUY ELEGANTE!!!!!!!!! I like how you made the design go off of the edge.
The gold on aqua is a great color combo. I wouldn’t have thought of it. Great job.
