February Glimmer Foiled Card for Spellbinders

Today's card features the February Glimmer Monthly Club subscription from Spellbinders. The "Spring Canopy" kit includes several sentiment hot foil plates, the leaf hot foil plate, two sentiment outline dies, an edger die for the leaf plate, along with a roll of hot foil . Scroll down for more photos and creative details, along with my supply list at the end of this post.

I received the Lavender Petal hot foil roll with my kit, although colors may vary.

I started by hot foiling with the leaf hot foil plate at the bottom of my paper, then turning my foil plate upside down and foiling the top section, using my Glimmer Hot Foil System.

You also need a die cut system to run your Glimmer platform through. I use my Spellbinders Platinum 6.

The paper that I'm using is from an ombre paper pad. I'll have it linked in my supply list. You can also do ink blending if you prefer, then foil on top. Just make sure your ink is heat set, or dries naturally.

Next, I used my Spellbinders Splatter White for paint splatters on my foiled card panel. The Splatter White is highly concentrated and there is only a small amount in the jar but it will last a long while. Just a little bit mixed with a tiny amount of water will do the job.

I usually mix on a small acrylic block, then flick the paint off the edge with a wet paintbrush.

How many times have you been working on a card, then lose a crucial piece while crafting? It happens more than I care to admit! I created a foiled sentiment and then it disappeared. Rather than start over, which honestly, wouldn't have taken long. I decided to use the negative foiling leftover with my solid hot foil plate and white cardstock. This is also a great way to use up your negative foils.

Just switch out the cardstock color, for whichever color you'd like to peek through for your sentiment.

I also created an extra foiled leafy die cut for the inside of my card. I decided to add a foiled strip at the bottom edge of die cut. I simply adhered a trimmed strip from an adhesive roll, used my Spellbinders Tool N One to peel off the top layer, then rubbed on some the Lavendar Petal hot foil to the adhesive.

I recommend using a bone folder to burnish the foiling before peeling off the top liner of foil. This is to make sure you don't have any blotchy spots where the foiling didn't quite adhere.

If you do have any small spots where the foiling didn't adhere, just press more of the foil in that space and rub. 

I finished the inside of my card with a sentiment from the February Stamp & Die of the Month Club subscription, paired with some Catherine Pooler Ink.

I also glued some Spellbinders Sequins for even more sparkle. Spellbinders has side and top fold A2 size cards on their site, however, I prefer the top fold (vertical) cards because they're so much easier to stand for display. You want the recipient to display your card and not toss it! I'll have both linked in my supply list, if you'd like to take a look.

 

If you're thinking about joining the Glimmer Monthly Club, you have until Feb. 27th to subscribe and receive this months kit which which ship out in March. You can cancel at any time, and rejoin in the future, if a particular club subscription is not to your liking or style.

Punny Spring Card for Your Paper Insider

I am so happy that Your Paper Insider invited me to create with one of their subscription boxes. I've had this idea for a pun themed spring/Easter card for awhile, and this was just the incentive I needed to finally bring it to life! Plus, the colors I needed jumped right out of the box. It was meant to be! Scroll down for a brief chit chat. I'll also have my supply list linked 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.)

I'm creating with Box One today, the initial launch box of the mystery subscription kit. It's a quarterly subscription of curated papers and cardstocks  from all over the world, currently available to continental US mailing addresses only. Box One actually contains some very exclusive Gira papers from Japan.

In the photo below, are all the various papers and cardstocks included in this box, with the five colors I used at the top.

Here are those colors:

Gira Pink Pearl – 120g 8.5×11

Cosmo Vanilla Pearl – 94# 8.5×11

Wealth Warm Gray Weave – 100# 8.5×11

Sunny Yellow Cardstock – 80# 8.5×11

Touche Black Smooth – 111# 8.5×11

My goal was to have the papers be the star of the show and I certainly hope I've done that. My card dimensions are a little smaller than A2 size, measuring in at 5 x 4 inches.

I used my guillotine trimmer to scale down my Sunny Yellow paper into four A2 size card panels (4.25 x 5.50 inches). I then took one of those card panels and hand trimmed the top into an oval shape with my scissors.

I did some ink blending around the edges with Ranger Ink Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and a blender brush.

Next, I used a hole punch with the Touche Black Smooth Cardstock, for the eyes. I love the feel of this paper. It has somewhat of a matte finish and it is absolutely gorgeous!

For the beak, I trimmed a small section from the Gira Pink Pearl Cardstock, and trimmed two triangular corners. This is a very special cardstock, made in the Fukui Province of Japan. It has a luminous sheen that is unique and named Gira which means "sparkling".

I'm not going to lie, I felt a little guilty adding a touch of ink blending to my beak with more of the Vintage Photo ink. I wanted to add a little definition and see how it looked, but I definitely felt like I was messing around with royalty, haha! Truth be told, you can absolutely get away with no ink blending and still have a perfectly cute beak!

For my cracked egg shell, I trimmed some of the Cosmo Vanilla Pearl cardstock. This textured cardstock worked perfectly for my egg shell. I simply used my scissors to create a zig-zag pattern across the top.

Once I adhered my trimmed elements to my card, I splattered some light blue paint around for a speckled effect, using a wet paintbrush. You could absolutely eliminate this step. I mixed a little bit of blue ink from an ink pad with white acrylic paint to achieve this color.

 

Lastly, my sentiment was created in a handwriting font on Microsoft Word and printed from my desktop computer. I did edit the word "crack" to be in italics.

Although I'm highlighting one of the subscription boxes, you can also purchase these boxes ala carte but at a higher price point, after the initial release period of each quarter (if they're not sold out). There are also lots of other specialty papers available for purchase so be sure and check out all the offerings. 

There last subscription release was January 15th and the next release will be in April 15th. Check out the FAQ's section here for more information.

Yeehaw Celebration Card for Catherine Pooler

Hey friends, I've got another card featuring the Lasso Life collection from Catherine Pooler Designs. I'm using several techniques today, so scroll down for all the details along with my supply list at the end of this post. Plus, a look at the inside of my card!

 (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.)

I really wanted to utilized the pretty blossom and leaf stamps included with the Happy Horseshoes stamp set, so I proceeded to stamp randomly all over a white A2 card panel using my stamp positioner.

The inks I used for stamping are the new colors, Glacier, Cashmere and Succulent. I also used Stone Blue and Goldenrod.

When I finished stamping, I grabbed a small acrylic block and pressed some Glacier ink onto it, dipped a paint brush in water, and mixed a little water into the ink, splattering the mixture around my card panel.

For my large sentiment, I swiped some ink onto white cardstock using Glacier and Goldenrod ink, and made die cuts with the Yeehaw word die, adhering them together slightly offset from one another.

To further embellish my die cuts, I used a bit of Macchiato ink to ink blend around the edges of my word, and a white gel pen to accent the lettering.

I also swiped some Glacier ink onto another white card panel to use as a backing for my stamped panel. Before assembling my card, I scaled down my stamped panel just a bit, saving the trimming for the inside of my card. 

I also added a section of really cool patterned paper to the bottom of my front card panel. I adore patterned papers and like to use them whenever possible on my cards.

 Also, for the inside of my card, I stamped another sentiment from the Happy Horseshoes stamp set with Glacier ink. That Glacier ink is getting a lot of love on this card!

I almost forgot to talk about my horseshoe images! One was die cut using patterned paper from the new Calico Charms paper pack using one of the horseshoe dies. The other was stamped with Glacier ink using one of the horseshoes from the Happy Horseshoe stamp set and cut with the coordinating die. I use my Platinum 6 for all my die cutting.

Since I had a few of the stamped and die cut clovers from my last project, I adhered those onto one of my horseshoes. If you missed the card I made earlier this week, you can check it out here.

Lastly, I found some pretty white sequins in my Reykjavik Sequin Mix that I thought would add a nice little sparkle, and those are scattered about on my card panel. There are a couple of new sequin mixes released in the Lasso Life collection, including Greensboro. I'll have it linked below. It has colors that would be very complimentary to the ink colors that I used today.

Don't forget about the current promo for this release. If your order is over $50, add the Lucky Blooms stamp set to your cart and use code YEEHAW at checkout and it will be free! This offer ends Feb. 12th.

 

Thanks so much for visiting me today. This is such a fun collection to create with and I can think of a lot of ways to use it, particularly for western themed birthday cards or party invites. Any kind of celebratory event would be great!
