February Glimmer Foiled Card for Spellbinders

Today's card features the February Glimmer Monthly Club subscription from Spellbinders. The "Spring Canopy" kit includes several sentiment hot foil plates, the leaf hot foil plate, two sentiment outline dies, an edger die for the leaf plate, along with a roll of hot foil . Scroll down for more photos and creative details, along with my supply list at the end of this post.

I received the Lavender Petal hot foil roll with my kit, although colors may vary.

I started by hot foiling with the leaf hot foil plate at the bottom of my paper, then turning my foil plate upside down and foiling the top section, using my Glimmer Hot Foil System.

You also need a die cut system to run your Glimmer platform through. I use my Spellbinders Platinum 6.

The paper that I'm using is from an ombre paper pad. I'll have it linked in my supply list. You can also do ink blending if you prefer, then foil on top. Just make sure your ink is heat set, or dries naturally.

Next, I used my Spellbinders Splatter White for paint splatters on my foiled card panel. The Splatter White is highly concentrated and there is only a small amount in the jar but it will last a long while. Just a little bit mixed with a tiny amount of water will do the job.

I usually mix on a small acrylic block, then flick the paint off the edge with a wet paintbrush.

How many times have you been working on a card, then lose a crucial piece while crafting? It happens more than I care to admit! I created a foiled sentiment and then it disappeared. Rather than start over, which honestly, wouldn't have taken long. I decided to use the negative foiling leftover with my solid hot foil plate and white cardstock. This is also a great way to use up your negative foils.

Just switch out the cardstock color, for whichever color you'd like to peek through for your sentiment.

I also created an extra foiled leafy die cut for the inside of my card. I decided to add a foiled strip at the bottom edge of die cut. I simply adhered a trimmed strip from an adhesive roll, used my Spellbinders Tool N One to peel off the top layer, then rubbed on some the Lavendar Petal hot foil to the adhesive.

I recommend using a bone folder to burnish the foiling before peeling off the top liner of foil. This is to make sure you don't have any blotchy spots where the foiling didn't quite adhere.

If you do have any small spots where the foiling didn't adhere, just press more of the foil in that space and rub. 

I finished the inside of my card with a sentiment from the February Stamp & Die of the Month Club subscription, paired with some Catherine Pooler Ink.

I also glued some Spellbinders Sequins for even more sparkle. Spellbinders has side and top fold A2 size cards on their site, however, I prefer the top fold (vertical) cards because they're so much easier to stand for display. You want the recipient to display your card and not toss it! I'll have both linked in my supply list, if you'd like to take a look.

Balloon Birthday Card for Spellbinders

Hello crafty friends! I'm back with another card for Spellbinders that features the January club clear stamp & coordinating stamp and die set. This set is called Nature's Dance and comes with 9 different sentiments and coordinating dies. I'm so excited to have another set of amazing sentiments! This is one collection that I highly recommend you get your hands on! Scroll down for details, plus 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 create my card panel, I did some dry embossing with my Spellbinders 3D Floating Balloons embossing folder and Platinum 6 die cut machine, paired with some ombre paper from my stash.

I used a nail file across the balloon "strings" to make those pop out a bit more, then trimmed small squares from my adhesive liner sheets. I used my Tool N One to help peel off the backing, then adhered each little square to a balloon.

Here's where it comes in handy to save scraps of foil or leftover negative sheets. Once I peeled off the top of my liners, I grabbed one of my Aura foil scraps and pressed down on each adhesive square to apply my foil. 

I used a bone folder to burnish and make sure the foil was fully adhered. Now, there's some pretty sparkle on my balloons! 

My birthday sentiment was stamped with Catherine Pooler inks in Midnight and Drive-In, using a masking technique to stamp in multiple colors with my stamp positioner. I  also used the coordinating die with my Platinum 6 for cutting, then popped up my sentiment on adhesive foam strips.

For my backing to this card panel, I trimmed enough Aura foil to cover an A2 piece of white cardstock. When not heat foiling, I love to apply adhesive spray to cardstock, allow to dry for a minute, then placing my foil on top, using a bone folder from the bottom up to lay my foil sheet down and smooth out. I do not peel the top liner of foil, but leave it intact.

Both my card panel and foiled background were slightly trimmed to fit on my white A2 sized card.

 

This was a fun card to put together. Trimming the adhesive squares and foiling them took a bit of patience but it's such a fun effect.

If you'd like to join the stamp and coordinating die club, or any monthly club selections, you have until January 27th to join. You can cancel at any time and rejoin at any time. Check out all the club offerings, here.
