hot-foil-system-Echoes-of-Detail-gold-foil-sympathy-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm demonstrating how to make a card with the Stampin' Hot Foil System. This card uses the Echoes of Detail brick design die and gold foil. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Because of the steps involved in using the hot foil system, it's just easier to show you then to try to tell you how to do it. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope.

Here's a close up of the leaves cut with a die from Petals of Beauty. You can also see the gold foiled bricks better.

This is how I completed the inside. The largest Perennial Postage die was used to cut the Basic White piece. The sentiment is from Prayers and Promises and the floral stamp from Nature's Symphony.

Every box starts with a set of Blends. I also offer the option of an ink spot and reinker. You may specify which ink spot and reinker color you would like to receive. Each month also has a sheet of dimensionals and a handmade card!! I have also started adding a free card kit!!

More Details about the Every Other Month Crafty Toolbox

What is a Crafty Toolbox?

It's a collection of Stampin' Up! crafting supplies you'll need to complete your crafting projects! An assortment of current crafting supplies such as embellishments, ribbons, adhesives, spritzers, glue dots, water painter, daubers, Blender Pens, embossing powders, envelopes, etc. will be inside each kit. You  don’t know what you’ll get each month. It will be a happy surprise!

How often will I receive the Toolbox?

Every other month (the even number months) you will receive an assortment of products valued at $20 or more. 

Will there be any recurring products?

Yes, there are. What you WILL receive each month is one Blends Combo Pack (a different color each month) and a sheet of dimensionals (total $10 value). I’ll also send you one handmade card.

There is also another option. You can choose to receive an ink spot with the matching reinker instead of a Blends Combo. Yay, choices!!

How long am I obligated?

There is no obligation, and you can stop your subscription at any time. 

How much does it cost?

This happy little toolbox is only $25, which includes $5 for shipping, so you’re getting $25 in supplies for $20! If you live locally and will pick up your Toolbox, then the cost is $20.

How do I pay?

Payment is by PayPal, check, or cash. If paying by check, your Toolbox will be mailed after your check clears.

What is the deadline to sign up each month?

Orders and payments need to be placed by the 15th of each month. Your Toolbox will be mailed around the 25th.

How do I sign up?

Click on the box below to fill out the form to sign up. You will need to pick the option to subscribe for 6 months or month to month. With either option, you will receive an invoice each month to pay for that month's Toolbox.
