Fall Colors featuring OLO Marker and Altenew

Hello friends, I've had some Altenew products in my stash that have never seen the light of day, so I thought I would color up a Fall-ish card with pops of greenery. I'm featuring OLO Marker coloring as well, my favorite artist markers! 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.)

 

The Altenew products I'm creating with today are the Floral Serenade Press Plate, the Classical Sentiments Press Plates Set and the Ivory Black Foil.

Yes, I foiled with my press plates! I used my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System and foiled with these plates just like you would with hot foil plates. My images turned out great! I also ran my plates/foiled images through my Platinum 6 die cut machine to seal the foiling.

I used 6 different OLO Markers for my coloring as pictured above:

OR1.6 - Orangutan

YO2.5 - Yellow Ochre

YG8.5 - Moss

YG2.5 - Avocado

YO2.2 - Pudding

O2.7 - Cinnamon

After foiling my image, I started coloring all my blooms and greenery. Once that was complete, I went in with my OLO Marker in Orangutan to color my entire background.

I highly recommend at least 80-100 lb weight smooth cardstock for coloring. I also try to color in sections and keep my marker to the paper as much as possible to avoid uneven coloring. This is when quality paper helps. Also, quality markers! If you are not using quality artist markers, that may be a reason you have uneven coloring, (splotches, streak marks).

For my foiled sentiment, I did my own hand trimming around the wording. I decided to color all around my sentiment with the same marker I used for the background. I really like how it seamlessly blends in!

I also splattered on some white paint and glued on some tiny orange sequins from one of my Catherine Pooler sequin mixes, for added sparkle.

I am so smitten with this color combo, give it a try! Tap any of my affiliate links below for more product information or to shop. These are provided at no additional cost to you. Thanks so much for dropping in today, have a great week!

Ocean Birthday Card for Spellbinders

I have an ocean themed card to share, featuring the June Glimmer of the Month Club Kit from Spellbinders. This kit is titled "Cast Away", and I've had so much fun creating with it. Scroll down for details and click any of the highlighted text throughout this post for more product information or to shop.

 (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)

This Glimmer kit includes a netting hot foil plate, 3 hot foil sentiment plates, a large sentiment outline die and a roll of Glimmer hot foil (selection varies).

The foil that I received in my kit this month is Opal. I am also using the Spellbinders Glimmer black/white opaque foil from my stash, for my foiled sentiments.

I don't really have much in the way of nautical themed stamps and dies, but I do have the Simon Hurley Smooth Sailing stamp/die set which is also sold at Spellbinders. I decided to incorporate the small sailboat stamp into my scene.

First, I stamped, then colored my sailboat with OLO Markers using these colors:

BG2.3, C-G3, OR3.4, R-G5

Next, I hand trimmed my sails, and foiled them with my Glimmer Hot Foil System, along with the base of my sailboat. You also need a die cut machine, such as the Spellbinders Platinum 6, to run your Glimmer platform through, to seal the foiling.

I wanted to pop up these elements with adhesive foam and also ended up trimming these elements down a bit with my scissors. I wanted this boat to be a little bit smaller to better fit within the confines of the scene that I was creating.

My sentiments were foiled on black cardstock, using my white Spellbinders hot foil. I also made some extra sentiments to have on hand, foiling on white cardstock with black foil.

For my scene, I tore some ombre paper from a paper pad in my stash to create a layer of color. The torn part, makes very effective waves, which is a bonus! I also created some 3D elements, hot gluing some netting using cheesecloth, and creating a rope from the boat to the netting, with some twine from my stash.

 

I created one final piece of foiling, which you can see at the bottom of my card. I foiled a trimmed section of kraft paper with the Opal hot foil, for my sandy beach.

I really love how this turned out! Let me know if you have any questions in the comment section.

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.

 (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.)

 

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.
