My cards were created with the Pinkfresh Studio Peony Print hot foil plate. I used my Spellbinders Espresso Bean hot foil and my Glimmer hot foil system with my Platinum 6 die cut system.

My card duo actually incorporates 3 different foiled white A2 card panels.

The first foiled panel resulted in an all white card panel with the foiled outline of the print.

The second card panel was foiled using the negative peeling of foil left from my first foiling. You need a solid hot foil plate to achieve this. You simply heat your solid foil plate, place the negative foiling, shiny side down, place your cardstock on top, then your Glimmer plates and heat.

This technique results in a negative foiling, with the foil more prominent than the image.

The third card panel was created again with the use of my solid hot foil plate, a trimmed piece of espresso bean foil and cardstock to create a panel that is completely hot foiled with no image. I used this for the backdrop of my first card above.

I love to piece together foiled and negative foiled panels, so I used my nested rectangle dies to cut a center rectangle from the white foiled card (first photo). I also cut a frame for use on my second card.

For my second, negative foiled card panel, I again die cut a rectangle in the center. However, I adhered the remainder of my "brown" card panel to an A2 vertical card, then popped up my center with adhesive foam strips. I then adhered the white frame from the first card.

Look closely and you'll see that all my negative foiling (as pictured above) perfectly lines up and matches the white foiled frame from the first card. This results in positive and negative foiling all on one card. It's a lot of fun, you should try it!

My sentiments were hot foiled using the Spellbinders Slimline Essential Glimmer Sentiments and also popped up on adhesive foam strips.
