Echoes of Detail

I have had a little time to play around with the Hot Foil system and the Echoes of Detail Hot Foil Dies and this is one of the cards I came up with using the Gold Foil.


The die cut was made with the Scalloped Blooms dies and the stamped images with the Collage Botanicals set. The sentiment is from the Balloon Festoon stamp set and all the stamping is done with Secret Sea ink.

Hot Foil System

Available to purchase July 10th!

Introducing one of the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System. The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.)



HOW TO

New to hot foiling? No sweat! We’ve got all the information you need right here. Watch the videos for an introduction to the new system and training on how to use it. And read through the Meet Metallic Magic Stampin’ Hot Foil Brochure for information on what is and isn’t included in the system and simple user instructions. Of course, no project would be complete without a stamped image or two, and this brochure highlights coordinating hot foil dies and stamp set bundles designed specifically to enhance the foil artwork in this product line. We even have a bundle that includes a set of decorative masks so you can add color alongside your shimmering foil for even more dimension.

Foiled Greeting Cards

Start with an embellished metallic accent design and stamp a simple greeting.

Foiled Borders & Frames

Create shiny borders around panels, photos, or journaling spots for scrapbooks.

Gift Tags & Envelopes

Add elegant metallic foil accents to tags and envelope flaps—perfect for weddings, holidays, and birthdays.

Foiled Vellum Overlays

Foil a floral or geometric pattern onto Stampin’ Up! vellum and layer it over colored cardstock for a soft, ethereal effect.

Mixed-Media Art

Combine a hot-foiled image with watercolor backgrounds, stenciling, or embossing paste for texture and shine.

Old Friends

I am loving the Silly Old Bear Collection, and you will probably see lots of samples made with these products in the future. 


I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake card stock with the Hundred-Acre Wood embossing folder for the background piece. On top of that I added a piece of Soft Sea Foam that I used the Eyelet Blooms die on.
The image is from the Silly Old Bear dsp and die cut with the Sweet Words and Labels dies. It is so fun that the designer series paper patterns fit the dies perfectly!
The sentiment is stamped on a die cut from the Stylish Shapes dies and I added some 2026-2028 In Color Butterflies to complete the card.
