It is time to ‘HOT’ things up around here! I am feeling cool this Winter, since returning from the heat of the Outback so I am bringing on my own HEAT…….
You may have noticed that I caved and bought a ‘Gemini Foilpress’ and so far so good, I am loving the look, especially when companies like Pinkfresh Studio are providing such incredible products to play with.

HOT TIP! If you don’t have a hot foil plate then you can just as easily heat emboss your image in gold and colour it with a stencil or your chosen medium!!

I started with some simple modern blended stripes.

To which I added a gold Joyful Peonies Hotfoil Plate… it looks like letterpress!

My next design uses the coordinating Joyful Peonies Stencil,

the 5 layers were so easy to line up.

But I did have to add a little extra sparkle with some Antique Gold Sequins from Altenew.

I decided to film the process to share, and you can see the Video Here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
Did you know that both Pinkfresh Studio and Altenew are sponsers for the Card Maker Success Summit next week. If you haven’t done it yet don’t forget to get your FREE Ticket HERE and to have ongoing access to the videos after and also lots of freebies the All-Access-Pass is seriously worth the money and even better value if you get the Early Bird price.
I hope you were inspired to create some golden floral designs! If you do, I’d love you to share them with me by tagging me on your social media. Looking forward to seeing you again real soon, Crafty hugs

Congratulations! Both beautiful cards.
Hola, Therese! Wow, what gorgeous cards! So beautiful and bright. Very elegant.
I’m so tempted to get on the hotfoil train and you are not helping! Hahah. So lovely.
Gorgeous Therese. Glad you had a great time at the Top End and you didn’t get caught with the lockdown.
We were very lucky with our ‘timing’ arriving home just as things started closing. we had such a lovely holiday!
Both cards are absolutely beautiful! I think I am partial to the card with the stenciling as I love the colors you used.
Thanks so much Linda, I’m glad you like them!
Such a gorgeous pair of cards.
Glad you’re happy with the letter press.
Another way to add a bit bling to a card!
Cheers
Thanks so very much!
Thanks so very much, I am definitely having fun!
So so pretty! Love them.
You had a great presentation on the Summit – Loved it. I agree with the clean pallet and glue dots 🙂 😉 Lucky we are in lock down (again!) I have more time to watch. Still need to catch up on your live but I’ll do that sometime during the week when I’m not working.
Sending more hugs your way, things have certainly not been easy for you guys… now, bring on the vaccine I say!
Thanks. We will get there! we have too.
