Stamping with Hot Foil stamps

Hi everyone. :)   
The countdown is on for Christmas !!!!  
Today, I have created some more Christmas cards using the new release  
 Artdeco Creations - Couture Creations Let Everyday Be Christmas from
and also the
Ultimate Crafts - It's Beginning to Look like Christmas Collection.

All these products are all available now at your local scrapbooking stores. The cards that I created today are with some of the Christmas dies and also the fabulous hot foil stamps from both collections, together 
with the Go Press, Foil & Machine by Couture Creations.  I wanted to showcase that you can ink stamp the hot foils stamps using ink pads then by running the platform of the Go Press and Foil machine through your die cutting machine, you will have a stamped image of the Hot foil stamp.
These Hot foil stamps can create some wonderful images for your projects.

So, here are cards that I created for Christmas - showing how versatile these hot foil stamps are, using them the way they are intended to be used with foils but also with your normal ink pads - to create a stamped image.





For my first card "Season's Greetings" I used the
Let Everyday Be Christmas Wild Wreath hot foil stamp C0725533
which I stamped with a Green Versa Ink pad onto the Hot foil stamp.






Ink the whole hot foil stamp with the ink pad.
Place the hot foil inked stamp inside, on the platform of the
Go Press and Foil machine (do not turn the machine on) no need to heat the platform for this technique.

Place a card stock on top of the hot foil stamped with ink colour.
Close the lid and run the platform through your manual Die cutting machine.



Here is the stamped image on the card stock, ready for your project.

TO Clean the hot foil stamp - just use a baby wipe - to take off all left over ink colour.




Turning the Go Press and Foil Machine on, as per directions in the manual book.
Cut a piece of Red Hologram Foil CO725698.
Placing the ULT158335 - It's beginning to look like Christmas ' Season's Greeting" hot foil stamp 
on to the platform of the Go Press & Foil Machine.
Place foil over the hot foil stamp - colour side down onto the hot foil stamp.
Place carefully the card stock with the stamped image wreath over the hot foil stamp and foil, when the machine is heated and ready, run it slowing through in your Manual die cutting machine.




The finished stamped wreath image and foiled word "Season's Greetings" 






Cut one Let everyday be Christmas CO725515 
"Christmas Baroque background die"
with red foil card stock.



Trim a little off the bottom edge and adhered to a a cut piece of
Couture Creations - Gold Matte Foil Mirror Board CO725410. 




Decorate with flowers, ribbon trim and gemstones.
Also cut some branches from the 
Let Everyday be Christmas - Christmas Branches Die CO725508

"Merry Christmas" card by Adriana Bolzon


List of products for the above card:
ULT158334 It's Beginning to look like Christmas- Christmas Tree hotfoil stamp
ULT158301 It's Beginning to look like Christmas-Winterwonder land embossing folder.
ULT158314 I's beginning to look like Christmas - Merry Christmas die
CO725508 Let Everyday be Christmas - Christmas Branches Die
CO725410 Couture Creations - Gold Matte Foil Mirror Board 
CO724149 - Couture Creations - Maraschino Gemstones 


For these two cards, they were created the same way by first inking the Christmas tree hot foil stamp with ink colour, then placing it on the platform of the Go Press and Foil machine.  Placing card stock on top of inked up hot foil stamp, running it through a die cutting machine. I did this twice, one on each side of the card stock. 





Using the Go Press and Foil machine, heating the machine, place a piece of Rose Gold Matte Foil C0725694 on the Christmas Tree hot foil stamp. Place card stock so that the Christmas will be in the centre of the card stock.
Running this through my die cutting machine , as per instructions.





I hope I have inspired you to give this stamping technique a go with your
hotfoil stamps and Go Press and foil Machine.
