… you might need to grab a cuppa for this one! I’ve been a bit lax dealing with some things that my website took a backseat. So, here is a run down of some happenings in the world of Stampin’ Up!

Add metallic magic to your crafting
Something that has been in the pipework for a few months and demos have been held to secrecy. We have a hot foil system. This works in the Stampin’ die cutting machine (the big one!) and foiling can give your creations a hint of metallic happiness.
Add some shimmer to every project with the Stampin’ Hot Foil System. With this system and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately), you can add dazzling details to all your projects and create stunning crafts using specially-made foil and hot foil dies.
And the fun doesn’t stop there! As an added bonus, when you purchase the Hot Foil System , Until 4 January 2027, you’ll receive FREE access to the Metallic Magic Virtual Craft Class (worth £28 | €37), where Stampin’ Up! experts will guide you through techniques, tips and inspiration to help you get the very best from your new tool to elevate your hot foil crafting experience.
A product brochure is available for you to peruse, here showing the new system, dies and the gorgeous foils.
A question I have had is does it work other systems. Although the plate itself is specifically designed to work in the Stampin’ Up Cut & Emboss, the dies can be used with other systems.
As I am one for not reinventing the wheel, Stampin’ Up! have a helpful run through on their blog, which you can see by clicking here.
A quick word of warning… This is an initial launch with limited stock, so if you’ve been thinking about adding one to your craft room, don’t leave it too long as it may not be restocked until later this year.
Product of the month!
The July product of the month is the Begonia Belle Stamp Set. The two begonia images can be stamped together to build a flower with depth or used on their own to create different perspectives. A bud stamp is sized to rest loosely over the stem image for another option, and leafy accents help complete the flower.
There are some wonderful samples on the product page, this is one of them:
This month’s Online Exclusives
Stampin’ Up! released a fabulous collection of new Online Exclusive products. earlier this month. You will find lots of festive designs for the Christmas, season along with plenty of products that can be used all year round.
There is a whole product list here that you can peruse, and here are a couple that caught my eye, the violet dreams suite which probably swayed me by the striped glitter paper.
Woodland wishes, I just love the way that the tree is created by woodland friends and it’ll be relaxing to settle down with my colouring pencils/pens to create some personal cards. Although I am sure I can use it for some other projects, can you see the little hedgehog?!
I’m not a quilter but this one is lush, I am sure my creating friends who do quilt/sew will like this one. This is the stitched season suite and I love that you have the suites which are coordinated and look forward to seeing makes with this suite.
There are plenty more wonderful products to add to your creative happiness. Click on the images to browse the full Online Exclusives collection in my online shop.
I now need to finish my tea! Have a happy and creative day.
Thanks for stopping by today, I hope to see you again soon.
May the crafting mojo be with you.
