Blooming Butterfly Card for Spellbinders

The Vivid Expressions collection is now in the shop at Spellbinders! I created with 3 different products from this release for todays card. I also used the blackout technique but with a twist! Scroll down and I'll tell you about. You'll find my supply list at the end, along with clickable shopping links!

If this is your first time visiting my blog, I tend to create first and measure later. This card measured in at a whopping 5 x 7.5 inches. You could easily trim off a bit to size down to 5x7. I did trim and score my own card, and also made a coordinating pink envelope using scrapbook paper from my stash and my We R Makers 123 punch board.

Typically when using the blackout technique, you color images on the flip side of your dry embossed cardstock, then swipe your panel with black ink. Instead, I went ahead and swiped my Blooming Butterflies embossed panel in black ink, then colored with my OLO Markers. 

I only used 2 markers - RV0.2 and OR4.4. Spellbinders sells these colors with marker sets and I've linked them in my supply list. If you prefer purchasing individual markers, you can get them from OLO Marker, here. 

If you caught my reel on social media earlier this week, I shared some bulk foiling with the Ideal Moments BetterPress plates/dies from the Vivid Expressions collection. My reel shows how to adhere negative foils to cardstock with adhesive spray. The tiny sentiment in the middle of my word dies is one that was included in my bulk foiling.

I also found some light pink cardstock from one of my older monthly card kits from Spellbinders that coordinated perfectly for the "Thank You", using the Vivid Script Sentiments. There are 20 dies in this set and well worth having in your craft room!

 

I also plan on sharing a 15 second reel on my social media showing how I applied the paint splatter on my elements, using my Spellbinders Splatter White. Also, I don't know if you noticed in my 3rd photo, but I used the Simon Hurley Bark 3D embossing folder from the Timeless Trees collection on my black cardstock. I love the texture! Lastly, I glued some of the Spellbinders Pink Opalescent sequins to my card, although they reflect blue in some of my photos due to the lighting and angle.

Let me know if you have any questions that I can answer in the comment section. Have a great day!

Terri

Foiling on Patterned Paper with Spellbinders Club Kits

Hey friends, I'm taking on some new projects for Spellbinders this year. I'll be bringing you inspiration with the Glimmer of the Month and the Clear Stamp & Coordinating Die Set of the Month Club selections. Today's card actually features both! Scroll down for details. You'll find clickable product links at the end of this post as well.

 (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.)

Today, I want to share how impactful foiling can be over some pretty patterned paper. It's a real time saver as well and I know many of you love making quick cards. Even better, when there's a wow factor, right?

Included in this months Glimmer Hot Foil Kit Club is the Elliptical Weaver Glimmer Hot Foil plate set, and the Aura hot foil which is my favorite! I'm so glad to have another roll because I was getting low, haha. This foil shimmers and reflects different colors when you turn from side to side. It's gorgeous!

I have the Spellbinders Woodland Tales 6x6 inch paper pack in my stash and there is the most gorgeous red paper with gold foiled flecks on it. I thought it would be a good choice to pair with my Glimmer plate and Aura foil.

After I foiled on my patterned paper, I also pulled some cardstock from my stash in a similar color and embossed it with the same Glimmer hot foil plate and my Platinum 6. One of the things I love about my Platinum 6 is that it lists all the different sandwich combinations on the base plate, including embossing with a cut plate. I treated this emboss just like a cut plate.

It doesn't give a real deep impression but it's enough for what I wanted to do next - hand trim the center shape for my heat embossed sentiment, as pictured below.

Before trimming out that center with my scissors, I went ahead and stamped my sentiment from this months Clear Stamp/Die Club selection, which is called Nature's Dance. It has several quotes that you can pair with floral cards, butterfly cards and more. It also includes something for birthdays, thank you cards, and other sentiments. 

I needed some post holiday thank you cards so this was perfect. I stamped it with my Misti stamp positioner using clear emboss ink and Wow embossing powder in Polished Gold, with my Ranger Craft Heat Tool.

My sentiment was popped up on adhesive foam strips and I also added some Spellbinders Onyx cardstock for a backdrop to my foiled card panel on a white A2 size card.

 

Pull out some patterned paper and get to foiling! It's so much fun, really packs a punch and you can easily whip out multiples. Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like more product details or wish to shop, I have convenient affiliate links below, provided at no additional cost to you.

If you would like more information on all the club offerings, click here. You have until the 27th of the month to join to receive this months offerings. 

I'll be back later this week with another project featuring the Stamp & Die of the Month Club.

See ya then!

Terri

Blackout Inspiration Card for Erin Lee Creative

Hello my lovely friends! I'm back with another card featuring products from the new Erin Lee Creative release and testing out the blackout technique for the first time. I've also got some coupon codes! Scroll down for details.

(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, let me tell you about the new Faith Over Fear stamp set. It comes with inspiring quotes and scripture but what really caught my eye was a lyric from one of my favorite contemporary Christian songs sung by CeCe Winans - Goodness of God. It's a gorgeous song, look it up! In fact, it's been in my head for days, thanks to working with this stamp set, haha!

I decided on a floral backdrop, so I chose my 3D embossing folder, Botanical Bliss, to test out my technique. This embossing folder is currently on markdown and any markdown items are 60% off when you use coupon code OCTOBER at checkout.

I first saw my crafty friend Ilda (@ilovedoingallthingscrafty) on Instagram do the blackout technique a couple months ago. I've been wanting to try it and finally made the time.

Basically, you dry emboss your cardstock (I used white), then flip your embossed cardstock over to color on the negative side. Don't color the empty space that surrounds your embossed images. I also used my OLO Markers to color. 

You don't have to be precise or worry about coloring outside the lines. This technique may work best with 3D embossing folders because of the deeper impression, but I haven't tried it on regular embossing folders so I can't be sure.

When finished coloring, grab a black ink pad and swipe it from top to bottom on your colored cardstock. I recommend you make sure your ink pad has plenty of ink. 

You can go in after adding the blackout and touch-up your coloring if needed. I also did some embellishing with a white gel pen on some of my florals and also added lots of white paint splatters.

 

For my sentiment, I stamped on white cardstock using my Misti stamp positione, then ink blended all around the the outside of the sentiment with my Catherine Pooler Cove Blue ink. Next, I went in with some Ranger Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo. I trimmed my cardstock and also a black backing and popped it up on adhesive foam strips.

Lastly, I finished off my card with some sequins and a string bow.

I've already heard that some of the items from this new release are about to sell out, so if you see something you really, really want, get it! You can stack your coupon codes and use code WAFFLE for an additional 10% off any of the new release products. Hurry, these codes won't last for long.

I have clickable affiliate links below, if you'd like to shop or browse. Thanks so much for stopping by!
