Hello, crafty friends. Today’s card set is part of THIS<\/a> fun blog hop celebrating THIS<\/a> new release. My card set features hot foiling using regular dies…
\n\"\"
\nDid you know you do not need Hot Foil Plates to hot foil? You can do the same process with regular dies!<\/p>\n

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

For the first card…
\n\"\"
\nI used
THIS<\/a>\u00a0glimmer foil for the background and THIS<\/a>\u00a0glimmer foil for the sentiment.<\/p>\n

For the second card…
\n\"\"
\nI used white glimmer foil for the background and
THIS<\/a> glimmer foil for the sentiment.<\/p>\n

For the last card…
\n\"\"
\nI used white glimmer foil for the background and
THIS<\/a>\u00a0glimmer foil for the sentiment.<\/p>\n

For all three envelopes, I embossed THIS<\/a> snowflake embossing folder on the flap to tie everything together.<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look…\"\"<\/p>\n

\nI hope this inspires you to hot foil using your regular dies.<\/p>\n
