Golden Glow – Creative Juice by Loni

Things have been heating up in my Stampin’ Studio, and today I started exploring what I can add HOT FOIL to! Since the Hot Foil system works best with smooth surfaces, I gathered a handful of different materials and got cookin’. You can watch the video to see all the projects, and I’ll be spotlighting them each one day at a time. First, the VIDEO tutorial:

The first card created was stamping and adding hot foil to a Barely Blush piece of Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper. The Botanical Glow bundle is simply elegant and since it’s not an exact match of the stamp set, it’s easy to get stunning results:

Barely Blush is tricky to photograph, so trust me when I say that the pink foiling looks perfect!

One isn’t limited to green leaves, either…here’s a fall version in Golden Glow and Cajun Craze, with gold foil:

Hot Foil Stamping on Designer Series Paper is a SUCCESS!

Heads up: Starting Tuesday, August 4th, select card stock and Designer Series Paper will be on sale through the end of the month. I’m not sure if the Gingham Gallery paper or any of the card stock used on these cards will be included, but I’m crossing my fingers for you. Tune in tomorrow to see what else we foiled and start shopping your favorites below:

Our updated banner hints at what we are sharing this month in our New at SU! blog hop: The 2026-2028 In Color lineup is one we have been anxious to share, and you are going to discover that these beautiful colors are MUST HAVE hues!

While I was thrilled to have Crisp Cantaloupe back in our rainbow of colors, I wanted to challenge myself to try a combination outside my preferred palette, so I selected GOLDEN GLOW as my In Color and gave it some unexpected companions:

Stampin’ Up!®️ Cherry Card using Golden Glow (2026-2028 In Color), Made with Sweetness dies, and Banner Sayings Bundle

This color combination of Golden Glow/Bubble Bath/Berry Burst came from the new printable Color Coach and I just added stems and leaves in another new In Color, Peaceful Pine.

This center-flap fun-fold card was a pattern we used during my team virtual meeting this month ~ a cute twist on a traditional card, with a small area for a quick message. Of course, it had to use a circle punch, as that’s what I’m spotlighting in May…

The base of the card is just 5.5″ x 4.25″ with a layer of Designer Series Paper, and the flap added to the center is 8.5″ x 2.75″, folded in half. Doesn’t get easier than that!

I embossed the Berry Burst layer on the front with the Ladybug Picnic 3D embossing folder and lightly added Berry Burst ink to the ladybugs with a sponge dauber, which also gives the cherries a little shading as well.

Another new product you’ll want to add to your next order is the set of white gel pens! Adding a little highlight to the cherries with the pen is a pro-tip that gives them an illusion of shine.

You need an envelope to match, so I just used a leftover strip of polka-dot Golden Glow patterned paper layered on Berry Burst card stock on the left side to coordinate.

Gosh, this turned out even cuter than imagined ~ I’ll admit I was skeptical of the color combination until I tried it, and now I’m a bit obsessed (and that’s saying a lot since I believe that word is extremely overused).

Let’s see what the other artists did with the In Colors…

Golden Glow leans less toward mustard and more toward a warm yellow-tone. It’s truly growing on me after this project. If you want to get your hands an all FIVE new In Color Ink Pads – Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Hydrangea Hue and Peaceful Pine – consider the Stampin’ Up!®️ STARTER KIT because you could choose all of them as a bonus in May, which is a smart shopping decision AND a chance to begin a very colorful adventure with me.
