This month's Glimmer Club Kit includes the adorable bubble design hot foil plate and two hot foil sentiment plates with outline dies. You also receive a roll of hot foil and selections do vary. I received the Speckled Prism hot foil roll with my Glimmer Kit this month. It has a multi-color shimmer when angled side to side.

If you'd like to receive this kit, the last day to sign up is Aug. 27th, and the kit will ship next month.

Now, the August Stamp & Die Club Kit includes 2 main stamp images with outline dies, 10 different stamp sentiments and two outline border dies for some of the single line sentiments. You can also purchase the stamp set separately by joining the Stamp of the Month Club.

Considering all the health issues I've recently gone through, I really appreciate the sentiment on this card. 

Encouraging sentiments have always been a favorite of mine, so I definitely wanted to use it for this card.

To stamp my bottle image, I used Catherine Pooler Macchiato ink, then colored it with my OLO Markers in O7.1, OR7.4, BG2.1, BG2.3 and B2.0. 

Did you know you can also purchase OLO Markers in sets at Spellbinders?

The paper that I'm foiling on is a green ombre paper from a paper pad in my stash. And of course, I'm also using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and Platinum 6 to accomplish all my foiling and die cutting today. I love my Spellbinder tools!!

I initially foiled two A2 sized card panels with the green paper, but only used a trimmed portion of that foiling for my first card. These card panels were eventually trimmed down just a bit, to fit on an A2 sized white vertical card. 

For my second card I used the leftover foiling to die cut a bottle outline. I also used the bottle die for a vellum die cut and a white cardstock die cut.

Here's how I adhered the bottle together with all three bottle die cuts. But first, please take note that I did stamp only the the bottle top with the cork onto the vellum with the CP Macchiato ink, using a piece of tape to mask below it.

1) White bottle outline is the base

2) Foiled bottle outline is adhered onto the base (trim off the bottle top first)

3) Stamped vellum bottle is adhered on top with a simple staple at the bottle top)

I also did some foiling and reverse foiling with the hot foil plate sentiments included in the Glimmer Club Kit. First, I foiled some sentiments on the green cardstock with my white Spellbinders hot foil. This only comes in a 2-pack of white and black hot foil. I purchased this some time ago and it's probably my most used foils. I highly recommend having the white/black foil in your stash!

You can see some of the sentiments that I foiled in my first photo at the top of the screen. However, for the card above, I used the negative foil with a solid hot foil plate, foiling the negative sheet directly onto the green cardstock. Once you peel off your plastic lining after foiling, the green cardstock peeks through, surrounded by all the gorgeous, shiny white foil. I absolutely love to do negative foiling. Save those leftover foil sheets for negative foiling, people!

Once again, I threw a lot at you, but hopefully it was helpful information?! Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you so much!
