Graceful Evergreen Deer Pt 2 – Week 4 Christmas Countdown Series

Graceful Evergreen Deer Pt 2 – Week 4 Christmas Countdown Series. In Part 2 I show you how you can use the reverse hot foiled piece to make another card and how to make another card using the remaining hot foiled doe and her fawn. I reiterate that this stamp and hot foil die bundle combines illustrated trees, snowfall, and starry details with metallic foiled deer designs to add warmth, texture, and shine to your cards and tags.

The Hot Foil Die set adds metallic foil details for an elegant, eye-catching finish when used with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System (both sold separately). You’ll also need the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine. The mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine is not suitable.

If you’re new to hot foiling and the virtues of the Reverse Hot Foil die, scroll down to the end of the post to see the videos that Stampin’ Up! had produced.

Part 2 – Introduces the Alpine Winter Craft Paper and Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder

When you hot foil the Graceful Evergreen Deer hot foil dies, be sure to use the grid on the Hot Foil System platform to position your deer so that you can use the negative piece of foil to make a second card.

Card 1 – using the negative Graceful Evergreen Deer Hot Foiled piece

Being strategic about how you place your Graceful Evergreen Dear Hot Foiled deer e.g, place them on your Hot Foil System along the grid line means that you can use the reverse foiled piece as a strip to decorate another card (picture on the left).

As the card base used Basic White Thick cardstock, I omitted using a layer for the inside of the card.

Cutting guide and assembly

The Reverse Hot Foil die allows you to maximise your Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls because the solid die lets you create two designs from one piece of foil: the main design and the negative image left on the foil. Simply apply the used foil following the usual foiling process for a shiny bonus design.

Card 2 – Graceful Evergreen Deer hot foil dies with Swirls of Magic Embossing folder

I made another boo-boo so had to add a Basic White layer to cover up the smudges. Otherwise I would omit the inside layer.

Stampin’ Hot Foil System

This is a new tool by Stampin’ Up! with special Hot Foil Dies. If you missed the post introducing the machine and information all about it, here’s a video to explain how the system works. Please be aware this machine is designed to fit Stampin’ Up!’s larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine and was tested with their own line of products. It would render the 1 year warranty on the Stampin’ Hot Foil System null and void if you use it on non-Stampin’ Up! machines which may not fit.

Also be sure you’re ordering the machine with the right plug for your market. Foils and dies have to be purchased separately.

If you purchase the Stampin’ Hot Foil System before Jan 4, 2027, it will also include the Metallic Magic Craft Class for free. The class will cost £28.00 to purchase when the free class offer ends.
