DieCember 2023 Release Blog Hop-Day 1

Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card set is part of THIS fun blog hop celebrating THIS new release. My card set features hot foiling using regular dies…

Did you know you do not need Hot Foil Plates to hot foil? You can do the same process with regular dies!

To create these cards, I started by hot foiling THIS background die on three colors of cardstock. I also hot foiled THIS cozy wishes die on THIS cardstock for each card with a coordinating hot foil color. I die cut THIS snowflake die from vellum and heat embossed THIS sentiment. I die cut THESE rectangle thin frames to create a border around each card. I finished it off with some of THESE embellishments.

For the first card…

I used THIS glimmer foil for the background and THIS glimmer foil for the sentiment.

For the second card…

I used white glimmer foil for the background and THIS glimmer foil for the sentiment.

For the last card…

I used white glimmer foil for the background and THIS glimmer foil for the sentiment.

For all three envelopes, I embossed THIS snowflake embossing folder on the flap to tie everything together.

Here’s a closer look…


I hope this inspires you to hot foil using your regular dies.

There is much more inspiration to see…
