April Glimmer Foiled Card for Spellbinders

Hello friends. Today's card features the April Glimmer Club Kit from Spellbinders. I adore foiling and am always excited when my monthly kit arrives. My first impression when viewing the "Scattered Letters" hot foil plate, was to create something with clean lines. It's also National Letter & Card Writing Month, have you been celebrating? Scroll down for my card details and supply list at the end.

Included with each month's Glimmer kit is a roll of foil and you never know what you'll get as colors vary. This month, I received the black hot foil with my kit and I'm so glad because I just ran out of black foil!

 

I trimmed an A2 size card panel to foil with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and black hot foil. 

I came up with the idea to add some patterned paper postage to my envelopes. I found some pretty yellow paper with tiny little blossoms from one of my Spellbinders Cardmaking Kit of the Month from March 2023, called Bee Yourself. It's not available on the site but I'm so glad I hung on to my leftovers from the retired kits. You never know when you might need something, right? 

I'm sure you've probably got some suitable tiny patterns in your paper stash. If you have some stamps with tiny images, you could stamp and color in the postage space. Just mask the area around the postage space with low tack tape, when stamping.

I trimmed off a long thin strip of the patterned paper, then trimmed tiny rectangles to nicely fit inside the postage space. I wanted the black outline of the foiling to show and not be entirely covered up with my patterned paper.

I also added some liquid embellishment dots on top of the foiled heart design, just to add some more pops of yellow.

I also swiped an OLO Marker, YO2.3 Butterscotch, across the address lines. Spellbinders sells the OLO Forest collection on their site, which includes YO2.3, and this is my favorite marker set!

 

 

I feel like I did a pretty good job keeping this design clean. I trimmed my card panel down a bit, to add the black cardstock backing which is A2 sized and adhered to my white A2 card. 

Also, the kit this month includes two sentiments on one hot foil plate, designed to cut both sentiments at the same time with your die cutting system. Nice!

March Glimmer Club Card for Spellbinders

Hey friends, I have a card to share that features the Spellbinders March Glimmer Hot Foil Club selection. This month's kit is called "We Are All Family". Much like the March Stamp Club Kit, the focus is on sentiments and and the ones close to us. Scroll down for creative details and more information regarding this month's Glimmer Club. My supply list will be 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 also using some other Spellbinders products to create my card, starting with the A2 white card panel that I dry embossed with the Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder. It adds such amazing texture and interest for my backdrop.

I also created some die cuts as part of my backdrop to showcase my sentiments, using the Berry Fields Border Etched Dies from the Vivid Expressions collection. The papers I used are from a paper pad in my stash, but Spellbinders recently came out with the ColorWheel cardstock collection and I'm pretty certain there are very similar colors, if you'd like to take a look.

My white card panel is A2 size and I glued my die cuts, almost to the top. I ended up trimming some of my card panel so everything would look symmetrical, and trimmed off the excess die cuts from my card edge.

I used the same papers for my berry fields die cuts, for my hot foiled sentiments. I foiled and die cut with 3 different colors of paper using my Aura Foil that was included in this months Glimmer Club. Foil colors may vary, if you decide to join the club. I do love Aura though, it's one of my favorites. It's gold but with prisms and shimmer when you angle and move your card from side to side.

I opted to not do much embellishing for my card, since I was making this for my dad. I don't think it's too girly, and he's all about gardening and working in the yard. I think these colors would also work for the women in your life, however my mom passed away, almost 5 years ago, which is why I selected the "Dad" word. I decided to use numerous sentiments on my card that were very fitting for my dad. I know he will love this!

Because my card panel was already close to A2 size after trimming, I ended up scoring my own base card, starting at approx. 6x6 inches, but prepared to scale it down a bit.

As many of you know by now, I tend to create first and measure later. My full card dimensions ended up being 4 3/4  x 5 5/8 inches. 

If you'd like to get your hands on this club kit, the window for new subscribers is Mar. 6th-27th. You can cancel or re-join at any time, with no obligation. Some folks like to skip month's, if a particular release is not really their style.

March Stamp & Die Club from Spellbinders

Hello one and all! Today's card features the March Stamp & Die Club from Spellbinders, and it's all about the sentiments. This set, "Nearest and Dearest", includes 20 different stamp sentiments, 5 word stamps and one sentiment strip grid die that's designed to cut 10 stamped sentiments at once! I love this set so much. Scroll down for creative details, including the huge batch of bulk stamping and embossing that I did with this set. My supply list can be found 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.)

First, I trimmed a piece of Tutu cardstock from the new ColorWheel collection, that measured 4.5 x 6 inches and placed a piece of double sided adhesive tape in the center, using my spellbinders Tool N One to remove the liner. This is to anchor my acetate sheet from the Spellbinders Woodland Tales collection. I like to incorporate products from previous collections, so they don't gather too much dust in my craft space! Use what you have, right?

My acetate sheet has gorgeous gold handwriting all across, and it was trimmed to the same measurements as my cardstock. I eventually trimmed this down a bit when assembling my card, for a slimmer look. My total card dimensions ended up being 4 x 5.5 inches, so just under an A2 sized card.

I went a little crazy stamping my sentiments. I am a huge fan of creating bulk sentiments when I can, and this months club selection helps you do that quickly! It's always great to have extra sentiments on hand and ready to go for every occasion. Plus, when you get together with your crafty friends for a girls cardmaking session, you can pass some around!

I decided to stamp some of my sentiments using Catherine Pooler Ink in Rockin' Red, Stone Blue, Glacier and Midnight. I also heat embossed some of my stamping using a variety of embossing powders with clear emboss ink. The powders I used were Wow Bright White, Ranger Gold Tinsel, and Wow Lavender Fields. It took me approximately 30 minutes to emboss, stamp and die cut all these sentiments and words on white and black cardstock.

When I do mass stamping, I find it easier to do all the stamping, then all the die cutting. Kind of like an assembly line format. It seems to go quicker this way.

To add more layers to my card and have a nice prop for my chosen sentiment, I created a die cut with my Glimmer Hexi-Gem Blooms Hot Foil Plate and die, paired with my Aura Hot Foil, white cardstock, my Glimmer Hot Foil System and Platinum 6.

The Hexi-Gem Blooms set is no longer available at Spellbinders, but you can find it in a couple other shops that I'll have linked in my supply list. You can always use something in your stash that works too.

The floral die cut was colored with my OLO Markers in these colors:

YG2.5 Avocado

YG8.5 Moss

R0.1 White Peach

R0.6 Cranberry

OR4.4 Rosy Bonnet

Spellbinders carries sets of OLO Markers on their site, but if you wish to purchase individual markers, you can find those here. I've tried numerous markers over the years and was a hardcore Copic fan, but these are now my artist marker of choice and I use them almost exclusively.

 

For my sentiment, I also swiped the edges with the same OLO Marker that I used on my blooms, White Peach, and both my sentiment and floral die cut are popped up on adhesive foam strips. Lastly, I glued on some Spellbinders Latte sequins for added sparkle and shine!

If you wish to join the Spellbinders Stamp & Die Club or any of the other monthly clubs, the window for new subscribers to join is Mar. 6th-27th. You can cancel future subscriptions at any time, or re-join at any time, if you find an upcoming collection is not your style or to your liking. You're under no obligation but I highly recommend giving it a try. Shipping is also free for your monthly club selections and you get an additional discount on other products in the shop.
