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.

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.

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

See ya then!

Thankful Card featuring Spellbinders

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sharing one more "Thankful" themed card for Spellbinders and this one features products from the Woodland Tales collection that was released in October. I'm keeping this brief today, thanks to a nasty cold that is trying to sideline me! I mustered all my energy to cook a Thanksgiving meal for my little family but my energy is quickly waning, haha!

I have fallen so in love with the vellum overlays in this collection. They're stunningly gorgeous and all you have to do is trim and adhere.

I also wanted to find some items to fit within my "thankful" theme and I'm happy to have found a pretty mason jar and sentiment that came from the Woodland Tales Die Cut Shapes and also the die cut sentiments set. 

I just sent a mason jar full of homemade gravy over to my dad's house today, with other Thanksgiving trimmings! Alas, I'm sick and didn't want to expose him. He's 84 years old but in pretty good health. Yet another thing to be thankful for. I also made an extra egg custard pie that he could have all to himself, it's his favorite. I'm such a good daughter, haha!

Next, I adhered some of those gorgeous satin gold sequins from the collection, along with the Woodland Tales Gold Flecked Gems. I am absolutely smitten with these embellishments! 

Lastly, both of my die cuts are popped up with adhesive foam strips for visual appeal. And don't you just love the gold foiled accents on my die cuts? I love that Spellbinders thinks of the tiniest, special details.

 

Make sure you check out all the Black Friday deals going on! I believe it was this time last year that I used a coupon code and got a really great deal on my Glimmer Hot Foil System, one of my favorite tools!

Happy holiday shopping ya'll!

Fall Flowers and Gratitude Card for Erin Lee Creative

Hello friends. I've been making lots of gratitude cards in the last month or so and I have another one for you today. This card features 3 different dies from Erin Lee Creative. She is so innovative with her products and I absolutely love her designs, particularly her handwriting fonts. I also purchased the  Jumbo Wildflower die not long ago and, after seeing a neighbor's gorgeous Black-Eyed Susan's in her yard, decided to jazz up some wildflower die cuts. I'm all about Fall cardmaking right now so my color scheme will also follow suit.

(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 started by ink blending my blooms with Ranger Distress Ink in Fossilized Amber. For my leaves I used Ranger/Wendy Vecchi MakeArt Ink in Fern Green. Unfortunately, Ranger discontinued that line of Wendy Vecchi ink not long ago.

For the centers of my flowers I used my Scrapbookcom Pops of Color in Chocolate Kiss. I filled in a circle of this brown liquid embellishment which leaves a glossy finish. I used a sharp tool to pull out tiny lines all around the center, while the liquid was still wet. You can also use a toothpick.

I let this dry naturally on my craft mat but you can also use a craft heat tool. 

Next, I die cut my Rattan Arch 2 Die from Erin Lee Creative on white cardstock with my Platinum 6.  Also, I use the Spellbinders Tool N One to quickly and easily get all those die cut bits out. I backed the lower section of my panel die with green patterned paper and trimmed a piece that would go in the center of my arch.

My backdrop consists of a trimmed piece of coordinating dark orange paper from the same paper pad and was adhered to my white card.

I placed some of my flowers behind the top section of my rattan die cut and also around my arch. I decided to cut up some of my flowers and placed them wherever I wanted. Some are adhered directly to my arch and some are popped up on adhesive foam. I did pop my arch up on adhesive foam as well.

Lastly, I die cut the word "Thank You" from one of the dies in the ELC Thank You Hero Die set.

Please note, the stitched oval die cut under my sentiment is from a die that I've had in my stash for years and honestly, I don't even remember the brand. 

**Here's a bonus tip for you - To easily make a really nice dimensional and layered die cut word stand out, you really need at least 3-4 die cuts glued together. I find the easiest way is to trim two sections of cardstock (I used black) fold each one in half and apply some adhesive to the inside of one of the halves. Press down and adhere. Lay your die on top and run through your die cut machine. 

Now you have two die cuts already adhered. Repeat the process for another die cut. Glue both die cuts together. It's so much easier to glue 2 die cuts consisting of 4 layers, than to glue 4 individual layers. You're welcome!

Thanks so much for popping in today. I love my wildflowers turned Black-Eyed Susan's! Happy Fall cardmaking ya'll and if you'd like to purchase any of the products or just want to browse, click any of my affiliate product links below.
