Here are some new products in the Stampin’ Hot Foil Line. Read through the Radiance Awaits Stampin’ Hot Foil Brochure (download it here) for information on what is and isn’t included in the system and simple user instructions.

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. Plus, there is a Reverse Hot Foil Die which lets you easily use negative images left on foil scraps so you don’t waste any and some new colors of foil!
