Hot Foiling on Distress Inked Cardstock

I've been doing some hot foil testing for my latest card for Spellbinders. This card features the Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and die set from the Four Petals Collection, newly released this month. I wasn't sure if you could hot foil on top of distress oxide ink, but I'm here to say, yes you can!

I wanted to create a simple, elegant card. We all know as card makers that from time to time, life happens and we need something quick. If you love hot foiling with your Glimmer Hot Foil System, you're going to love how easy this is.

You'll need your favorite Ranger distress oxide ink and a craft heat tool. I'm using the Speckled Egg distress oxide ink for this project. A few quick swipes across your card panel is all you need. I recommend laying it flat on a craft mat when swiping. 

Bonus Tip: 

Use an oversized card panel to trim down after inking for visual appeal and to avoid 

uneven inked edges.

Next, we want to heat set the color so it's good and dry before foiling. If you have the patience to wait a few hours and let your ink dry naturally you can do that. Otherwise, grab your craft heat tool and gently heat set for about 30 seconds, giving some of that time to the backside of your card panel as well. 

Once I finished the foiling process using the my Polished Brass hot foil, I layered my card with some trimmed gold paper, white cardstock, then my foiled card panel. My foiled sentiment was popped up on adhesive foam. 

I actually tried to add some embellishments on another foiling that I tested. I added lots of liquid colored dots on those swirled points but it did not look good. AT ALL, haha. It was seriously too much and I had to scrap it. Sometimes, you just don't need to mess with a good thing!

Check out the entire Four Petal Collection from Spellbinders. There's something for everyone!

3D Embossed Colored Card for Spellbinders

I'm back today with another project using items from the newly released Four Petal Collection for Spellbinders. This card features the 3D Floral embossing folder and I'm coloring this pretty thing up with Copic Markers. You'll find creative details and product links below.

I absolutely love 3D embossing. The images really pop up nicely and this lovely floral embossing folder makes the prettiest card panels. 

I decided to color it using my Copic Markers, similar to what I did for yesterday's project. I also filled in the background with a beige marker.

After coloring my leaves and flowers, I blended distress oxide ink on the inside of my panel and proceeded to splatter droplets of white acrylic paint here and there. 

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the Sweet Day Flowers stamp set on white cardstock and die cut it using the Floral Reflection Etched Die Set.

I also die cut some leaf elements to place under my sentiment, using the Happy Plant die set. A pair of half pearls from Buttons Galore accents my sentiment as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by. You can check out all the new arrivals at Spellbinders, here. They're also having a sale through Feb. 13th, $25 Off $125+ orders in the US with free shipping.

See you next time!

Sweet Day Flowers Card for Spellbinders

Hello friends. The new Spellbinders release, Four Petal Collection, is live today. I've made a card featuring the stamp set, Sweet Day Flowers, colored with Copic Markers. Scroll down for creative details. You'll also find product links 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.)

 

To begin, I stamped my image on Neenah cardstock using my Misti stamp positioner, then chose a variety of Copic Sketch artist markers to color with.

To highlight some of my images, I used just a touch of white gel pen on the top edges and gently swiped downward with my finger.

I really wanted to have these gorgeous blooms pop off the page, so I decided to color my background with a black copic marker. It can be detailed work with small spaces between images. Again, I used my white gel pen to touch up any spots that faded due to overlapping with my black marker, such as the leaf stems.

I added a coral colored paper that complimented my coloring for my background panel, then adhered my stamped, colored image. I then created a rectangle frame using my Platinum 6 die cut machine, nesting dies and double sided adhesive foam sheets.

Once my frame was lined up on my card, I peeled off the top layer and pressed a trimmed piece of my Glimmer Hot Foil in Polished Brass onto the sticky frame, gently rubbing all over, then peeling off the foil sheet.  It turned out so pretty!

You can use Glimmer Hot Foil sheets with adhesive foam, it's not just for hot foiling! 

I almost forgot to mention my sentiment. There are several wonderful sentiments that come with this stamp set. I decided to do some heat embossing, using clear embossing ink and Ranger Gold Tinsel embossing powder. I was hesitant to swipe my surface with my powder pack to prep the surface first, as I didn't want it to discolor my black coloring. I ended up with a few stray embossed gold flecks around the sentiment, but it actually looks very pretty in person. A little gold fairy dust!

I love this beautiful stamp set and can't wait to send this encouragement card out in the near future, as a kind gesture to a friend. Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll hop over to Spellbinders and check out all the lovely products in today's new release!

Terri
