Hot foiling and Violet Dreams pocket flip slider card

 Oh wow isn't got foiling fun? This new to me technique and tools are just amazing 🤩! If you love metalics and the look of them on your projects you'll be as amazed as I am with the new Hot Foil System from Stampin' Up! The way it works is so easy yet the results so elegant and give your projects that added Wow factor !

But before we start talking Christmas let's explore the summer release first! The hot foil dies and mask set that is featured on today's inspiration is the beautiful  Butterfly Flight bundle

The gold coloured images above are the hot foiling dies that coordinate perfectly with the cutting dies and masks making it so easy to create beautiful projects.

Called a pocket flip slider card the fun comes as you pull the insert and the butterflies flutter up the card...

And pull some more...

And then a further surprise when the flip flap opens to reveal....

The sentiment is also foiled from a set of hot foil dies called Classic Greetings.

Now you could write your personal message inside the flip flap but I have added a panel on the reverse with of course more decoration 😉.

The video below shows how I used the Hot Foil System as well as how to make this fun card.

The measurements for the card are here...

Base: start with a piece of cardstock measuring 12.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.85cm ( 5¼" x 11" scored at 5½") You'll then need to score the piece at 1cm (½") in from each side along the long sides. You'll need to cut a slit in the front of the card base once you've added your pattern paper. This is in the center of the panel and cut from 1cm (½") down to 1cm (½") up from the fold. The video shows how far eaasier than I can explain here 😉

Insert: a piece of cardstock measuring 10cm x 24cm  scored at 8.5cm ( 9" x 4" scored at 3¼")

Mechanism: a piece of cardstock measuring 1.5cm x 9cm scored at 1.5cm and 3cm from each end ( ½" x 3" scored at ½" and 1" from each end)

Once you have all these piece watch the video here to see how they go together to create this fun card. The card was inspired by one created by a fellow demonstrator called Tina Wardell.
