Floral Negative Hot Foiled Cards

I've got a pair of floral hot foiled cards today that featuring negative foiling and splicing, using Pinkfresh Studio products available at Scrapbookcom. Scroll down for creative details plus product links at the end of this post.

I've had this hot foil plate called Peony Print in my stash for months and finally broke it out to play, using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and black Platinum 6 die cut machine. These two Spellbinder machines go hand in hand when hot foiling. When my Cuttlebug die cut machine died several months ago, I decided to purchase the black Platinum 6 that's a Spellbinders/Scrapbookcom exclusive product.  

It's one of the best investments I've ever made. I had foiling issues with an older Big Shot that a friend gave me but the plates were warped and I was not getting good results. I'm glad to say, that is not a problem anymore, with my gorgeous black beauty!

 

I had in mind to hot foil in black and white, then trimming sections of each foiled card panel and mix them up. 

As the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz says, "these things must be done del-i-cate-ly"!

This also requires the use of a solid hot foil plate. 

First, use the black hot foil with the Peony Print hot foil plate on white cardstock with your Glimmer machine. Run the entire platform through the Platinum 6.  

Next, use the negative foil piece and hot foil with the solid hot foil plate and white cardstock and again, run the entire platinum through the Platinum 6.

After foiling, stack the card panels carefully making sure the blooms on the left edge match on both card panels while stacked. This may require a little trimming to get them both to match. 

Next, trim the right edge, top and bottom so both card panels line up properly.

I proceeded to trim just the top section from my white hot foiled card and placed it over the top portion of the black card panel to make sure the bottom edge of the trimmed peonies from that section matched the black foiled card panel.

Luckily, it did! You may need to do a little more trimming to get it just right. I lined up the remainder of my uncut white card panel so it's stacked and even with the bottom of my black card panel. and trimmed the reminder sections through my sliding trimmer, while stacked.

After that, it was just a matter of lining them up on a white vertical A2 card and adhering the mixed pieces. I love the effect, like a spotlight technique. My foiled ephemera sentiments were an exclusive product created for Scrapbookcom in collaboration with Pinkfresh Studio that was only available for a limited time last year but you can easily pop on your favorite stamped sentiment or die cuts.

I also added some silver glitter Pops of Color for embellishment. These cards are so sparkly and shiny in person and I absolutely love them!

Thanks so much for popping in. You can find most of the products that I used below, if you'd like to do some shopping. See you next time!
