Blooming Butterfly Card for Spellbinders

The Vivid Expressions collection is now in the shop at Spellbinders! I created with 3 different products from this release for todays card. I also used the blackout technique but with a twist! Scroll down and I'll tell you about. You'll find my supply list at the end, along with clickable shopping links!

If this is your first time visiting my blog, I tend to create first and measure later. This card measured in at a whopping 5 x 7.5 inches. You could easily trim off a bit to size down to 5x7. I did trim and score my own card, and also made a coordinating pink envelope using scrapbook paper from my stash and my We R Makers 123 punch board.

Typically when using the blackout technique, you color images on the flip side of your dry embossed cardstock, then swipe your panel with black ink. Instead, I went ahead and swiped my Blooming Butterflies embossed panel in black ink, then colored with my OLO Markers. 

I only used 2 markers - RV0.2 and OR4.4. Spellbinders sells these colors with marker sets and I've linked them in my supply list. If you prefer purchasing individual markers, you can get them from OLO Marker, here. 

If you caught my reel on social media earlier this week, I shared some bulk foiling with the Ideal Moments BetterPress plates/dies from the Vivid Expressions collection. My reel shows how to adhere negative foils to cardstock with adhesive spray. The tiny sentiment in the middle of my word dies is one that was included in my bulk foiling.

I also found some light pink cardstock from one of my older monthly card kits from Spellbinders that coordinated perfectly for the "Thank You", using the Vivid Script Sentiments. There are 20 dies in this set and well worth having in your craft room!

 

I also plan on sharing a 15 second reel on my social media showing how I applied the paint splatter on my elements, using my Spellbinders Splatter White. Also, I don't know if you noticed in my 3rd photo, but I used the Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder from the Timeless Trees collection on my black cardstock. I love the texture! Lastly, I glued some of the Spellbinders Pink Opalescent sequins to my card, although they reflect blue in some of my photos due to the lighting and angle.

Let me know if you have any questions that I can answer in the comment section. Have a great day!

Terri

Balloon Birthday Card for Spellbinders

Hello crafty friends! I'm back with another card for Spellbinders that features the January club clear stamp & coordinating stamp and die set. This set is called Nature's Dance and comes with 9 different sentiments and coordinating dies. I'm so excited to have another set of amazing sentiments! This is one collection that I highly recommend you get your hands on! Scroll down for details, plus product links at the end of this post.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

To create my card panel, I did some dry embossing with my Spellbinders 3D Floating Balloons embossing folder and Platinum 6 die cut machine, paired with some ombre paper from my stash.

I used a nail file across the balloon "strings" to make those pop out a bit more, then trimmed small squares from my adhesive liner sheets. I used my Tool N One to help peel off the backing, then adhered each little square to a balloon.

Here's where it comes in handy to save scraps of foil or leftover negative sheets. Once I peeled off the top of my liners, I grabbed one of my Aura foil scraps and pressed down on each adhesive square to apply my foil. 

I used a bone folder to burnish and make sure the foil was fully adhered. Now, there's some pretty sparkle on my balloons! 

My birthday sentiment was stamped with Catherine Pooler inks in Midnight and Drive-In, using a masking technique to stamp in multiple colors with my stamp positioner. I  also used the coordinating die with my Platinum 6 for cutting, then popped up my sentiment on adhesive foam strips.

For my backing to this card panel, I trimmed enough Aura foil to cover an A2 piece of white cardstock. When not heat foiling, I love to apply adhesive spray to cardstock, allow to dry for a minute, then placing my foil on top, using a bone folder from the bottom up to lay my foil sheet down and smooth out. I do not peel the top liner of foil, but leave it intact.

Both my card panel and foiled background were slightly trimmed to fit on my white A2 sized card.

 

This was a fun card to put together. Trimming the adhesive squares and foiling them took a bit of patience but it's such a fun effect.

If you'd like to join the stamp and coordinating die club, or any monthly club selections, you have until January 27th to join. You can cancel at any time and rejoin at any time. Check out all the club offerings, here.

Foiling on Patterned Paper with Spellbinders Club Kits

Hey friends, I'm taking on some new projects for Spellbinders this year. I'll be bringing you inspiration with the Glimmer of the Month and the Clear Stamp & Coordinating Die Set of the Month Club selections. Today's card actually features both! Scroll down for details. You'll find clickable product links at the end of this post as well.

 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.)

Today, I want to share how impactful foiling can be over some pretty patterned paper. It's a real time saver as well and I know many of you love making quick cards. Even better, when there's a wow factor, right?

Included in this months Glimmer Hot Foil Kit Club is the Elliptical Weaver Glimmer Hot Foil plate set, and the Aura hot foil which is my favorite! I'm so glad to have another roll because I was getting low, haha. This foil shimmers and reflects different colors when you turn from side to side. It's gorgeous!

I have the Spellbinders Woodland Tales 6x6 inch paper pack in my stash and there is the most gorgeous red paper with gold foiled flecks on it. I thought it would be a good choice to pair with my Glimmer plate and Aura foil.

After I foiled on my patterned paper, I also pulled some cardstock from my stash in a similar color and embossed it with the same Glimmer hot foil plate and my Platinum 6. One of the things I love about my Platinum 6 is that it lists all the different sandwich combinations on the base plate, including embossing with a cut plate. I treated this emboss just like a cut plate.

It doesn't give a real deep impression but it's enough for what I wanted to do next - hand trim the center shape for my heat embossed sentiment, as pictured below.

Before trimming out that center with my scissors, I went ahead and stamped my sentiment from this months Clear Stamp/Die Club selection, which is called Nature's Dance. It has several quotes that you can pair with floral cards, butterfly cards and more. It also includes something for birthdays, thank you cards, and other sentiments. 

I needed some post holiday thank you cards so this was perfect. I stamped it with my Misti stamp positioner using clear emboss ink and Wow embossing powder in Polished Gold, with my Ranger Craft Heat Tool.

My sentiment was popped up on adhesive foam strips and I also added some Spellbinders Onyx cardstock for a backdrop to my foiled card panel on a white A2 size card.

 

Pull out some patterned paper and get to foiling! It's so much fun, really packs a punch and you can easily whip out multiples. Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like more product details or wish to shop, I have convenient affiliate links below, provided at no additional cost to you.

If you would like more information on all the club offerings, click here. You have until the 27th of the month to join to receive this months offerings. 

I'll be back later this week with another project featuring the Stamp & Die of the Month Club.

See ya then!

Terri
