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!

Spellbinders Stamp and Die of the Month Club

In case you didn't know, April is National Card and Letter Writing Month.  Spellbinders has released a perfectly fitting Stamp and Die Club collection for April, called "Send & Seal". The stamp set includes 8 different sentiments, and the one that I selected for today's card is my favorite. It's so true!


 (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 opted to keep my card somewhat simplistic and chose to color all my envelopes and packages with a kraft color scheme, adding little accents of pink, yellow and green for the packaging detail.

I used my OLO Markers in these colors:

RV0.1 Cotton Candy
RV0.2 Bubble Gum
YO2.2 Pudding
YG8.5 Moss
OR3.4 

Spellbinders carries OLO Markers in sets in their shop, and you click here to view those sets. However, I'll have the individual markers linked in my supply list below.






That pretty pink paper backing was from one of my older Card of the Month kits, but have you seen the new ColorWheel cardstock colors available at Spellbinders? So many gorgeous colors! 




 
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 April 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. Get all the details on all the club selections here.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Terri
