Valentine Cards For Spellbinders

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas holiday! I spent some time creating with the Spellbinders December release, Love On The Rocks. One of the things I love about the BetterPress plates is that you can foil with them, just like you would with a hot foil plate. I also tried a fun little trick for my sentiments. Scroll down and I'll tell you about it! You'll also find clickable product links at the end of this post.

I'm creating with the press plate from this collection, My Heart Beats For You. For two of my foiled card panels, I used the Spellbinders Pink foil, paired with some pink ombre papers for some tone on tone foiling with my Glimmer hot foil system, then run through my Platinum 6.

For one of my foiled card panels, I adhered one of the leftover negative foils to white cardstock. This is the card laying flat in the left corner in my photo above.

Here's the thing. I used a little trick by spraying my white cardstock with adhesive spray, let it dry for a minute, then laid down my negative foil on top, using a bone folder to smoothly adhere from bottom to top. So easy and quick and such a great way to use up your leftover negative foils. There is no peeling involved either, the entire negative foil will adhere intact so you'll have a pretty, shiny surface.

I used my Spellbinders white foil foil two ways for my sentiments. First I grabbed some pretty pink cardstock from my stash and foiled some sentiments with my white foil. I die cut those with the heart die included in the set.

Next, I saved my white negative foiled pieces to do the same adhesive spray technique that I did for my card panel. I sprayed the adhesive on some pink cardstock, (as pictured above) let it dry for a minute, then applied my negative white foil piece on top, smoothing it out again with a bone folder. If you don't have a bone folder, you can use a pencil or marker as a smoothing tool.

Again, you're not going to peel off the foil after adhering when using negatives. Just die cut with the included heart die and you'll end up with a shiny white foiled sentiment with the pretty cardstock peeking through!

I went ahead and popped up all my sentiments on adhesive foam strips for visual appeal. I also ran the front of my white card through my Platinum 6 with my Spellbinders 3D embossing folder, Circle Illusion. It just gives yet another layer of added dimension peeking out from my foiled card panel.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and I love that I already have some cards ready to send to some of my favorite people. I absolutely love how this trio of cards turned out!

Finger Stenciling With New Lunar Paste

I'm so happy to share this card today, featuring products sent to me by Scrapbook.com, including the new Lunar Paste from Simon Hurley and Ranger Ink! I wanted to get basic with my stenciling and using your fingers is as basic as it gets. I'm also using the new Scrapbook.com Mixed Media paper and I'll tell you further down why you need this in your life too!

Please note, direct links to the new Lunar Paste were not available for me to link in my supply list when I wrote up this post. However, I've scattered affiliate links throughout this text that will direct you to all the Lunar Paste on the Scrapbook.com site, sorted by the newest first.

Let me start by saying this: Using a palette knife or scraper tool to stencil with the new Lunar Paste will definitely give you a deeper color.

Let me also say, that is not what I'm going for today. The Simon Hurley Love Struck Lunar Paste is a gorgeous red color. Likewise, the Lunar Paste in Breakup Blue is equally beautiful. Both offer an opaque metallic shine and also coordinate with the Simon Hurley inks of the same name. I know you're going to see a lot of lovely inspiration in the coming days and I'm sharing yet another way to get the most from your supplies.

I decided to try for a more translucent color for my clouds, finger stenciling with the Scrapbook.com Little Clouds Stencil.

All you need is a craft mat, your pretty little fingers and some Lunar Paste. And, paper towels to wipe your fingers and craft mat! I simply dabbed a little of the paste onto my craft mat and grabbed some color with my finger and began tapping in color. It was super quick and easy. I even grabbed a bit of color from both pastes and dabbed for a mixed color effect. 

Let me tell you about the new Mixed Media paper from Scrapbook.com. It comes in black and white and heavyweight at 140 lbs. You won't have to worry about any bleed through on the flip side. That's great news if you love making tags but don't want the hassle of backing them to cover up your bleed through.

I also love the color of the clouds using the Lunar Paste on the mixed media paper! It'ss very smooth and the color swipes easily which is a bonus. I also colored my die cut heart balloons with Lunar Paste too. These were die cut with the mixed media paper, using my Platinum 6. Also, two of the balloons have an etched design which I think is absolutely darling. Oh and did you notice one other thing? I die cut 3 more balloons with my dark blue paper, as a backing for my colored balloons and a shadow effect.

Lastly, I finished my card by backing my mixed media card panel (trimmed down to just under A2 sized) with the dark blue paper from the Scrapbook.com Jewels Paper Pad. This was also paired with white Neenah cardstock to create the die cut sentiment from the Hugs Love You die set.

I flipped through several paper pads trying to decide which color paper would coordinate best with my two Lunar Paste colors. The navy was a solid win.

Note: The exclusive Scrapbook.com mixed media paper pads come in black and white and are brand new products expected to be in the shop soon. Click on this link and be notified as soon as they hit the shop! Thanks so much for popping in and to Scrapbook.com for sending me these lovely products!

Gnome Valentine Cards for Scrapbookcom

Hello friends, I took a little time off over the last month but I'm back with a project for Scrapbook.com featuring the Love Gnomes bundle. This is today's Livestream deal and will only be available at the discounted price for a limited time. You can view the Livestream here at Scrapbookcom, if you'd like to see a live tutorial, created with some of these products. This bundle will not be available for purchase until the Livestream begins at 11 am ET today, however individual product items are available for purchase now.

(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 livestream bundle includes the Love Gnomes stamp and die set and the A2 size Berry Sweet patterned paper pad. You can also purchase these items separately and I have all the products linked at the end of this post.

The papers that I'm working with however, are from the Merry Paper pad since that is what I had on hand to create these cards. I was so happy to find the pretty striped paper in this pad, which worked perfectly for what I had in mind.

  I also had the DIY Pocket Heart die in my stash so I thought I would use it to stamp my gnome images. It comes with two different size hearts and I used the larger one. I cut the hearts with my black Platinum 6 on white cardstock, stamped my gnomes in my Misti stamp positioner on the hearts, and did some ink blending across the top and bottom of my hearts.

I'm a big fan of red and pink for Valentines and kept my coloring simplistic so that all my gnomes coordinate in their color scheme. I used alcohol markers and the Scrapbookcom hybrid ink works very well with alcohol markers. This is a coordinating set so all my papers match, as well.

Let me also mention that I adhered my pocket heart dies pretty flat but you can actually slightly bend the hearts so the folded tabs are pushed slightly inward, and create more of a gap for the pocket. A small treat will easily fit behind the pocket heart!

For my ink blending, and partial sentiment stamping, I used my Catherine Pooler Rockin' Red ink pad, along with my Scrapbookcom black hybrid ink. These were also die cut with my Platinum 6 die cut system and the Love Gnomes coordinating die set. I absolutely love the fonts in this set!

If you'd like to do some shopping or just look around the shop, just click any of my affiliate product links. If you do shop, be sure and stop by the coupon section to see if there are any free add-on gifts with purchase. As of this writing, there are 2! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and Happy Valentine's Day, coming up!

Terri
