Hello friends! It's Laurie here with a shiny greeting card using the Essential Alpha Hot Foil Plate.

This new hot foil plate is so easy to use. The plate will foil the entire alphabet, and the coordinating die will cut them all out at once. I love doing quick and easy cards, and this product gets 5 stars from me!

If you want some quick, ready-to-go shimmery letters for your projects, this will be your go-to!

This hot foil plate includes the full alphabet (along with duplicates of commonly used letters) in a versatile outline font. Having all of the letters on one plate means that you can easily die-cut them in one step, or color them with the coordinating stencil set! Our durable hot foil plates feature unique and stunning designs for all of your paper crafting projects! They can be used with most hot foiling and die-cutting systems on the market. We can't wait to see what you create!

To create this card, I grabbed the Sweet Moments 6×6 Paper Pack along with some Navy Blue Cardstock. After cutting a front panel, I matted it with a piece of white cardstock and popped it up on Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape.

I hot-foiled the Essential Alpha Hot Foil Plate in gold foil on the same Navy Cardstock and then cut them out. Using more foam tape, I popped each letter up in the center of the card.
