Hello! I am delighted to share two cards created with glimmer plates from the recently-released Yana’s Blooming Birthday Glimmer Collection at Spellbinders.
On the first card (shown above on the right), I paired a tone-on-tone Skinny Stripe Background with one of the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments, as well as dies from the March 2021 Large Die of the Month set, to create a spring-themed greeting. (I previously shared cards created with the kit in this post.)
- I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Moondust foil on light teal cardstock.
- I glimmer-foiled the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments sentiment in Citrine on green cardstock and cut it with the grass die in the Large Die of the Month set and a square die.
- I cut a square from vellum and added the grass to the front. I wanted to keep as much of the background visible as possible.
- I added the bunny and flowers, cut with the Large Die of the Month set, to the scene.
On the second card, I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Mini Rainbow Stripe foil on black cardstock.
- I glimmer-foiled two of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments in Silver on colored cardstock and cut them with the set’s coordinating die.
- I cut cardstock in rainbow colors using the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments die and taped the strips together on the back (including the ones I had glimmer-foiled).
- I used a heart die to cut out the rainbow strip panel, which I backed with a larger heart cut from vellum (again, not wanting to color up the background).
- To embellish, I added hearts cut with a die in the Sunday Sunset Drive set from silver foil to the center.
Love how you mix textured and smooth cardstock.
Thanks Jean, you got me again! Couldn’t resist the Spellbinder’s Large Die of the Month with those adorable characters! I hope you are compensated for the referrals to their products! Love your fun designs!
Thanks for your kind words!
That multi colored skinny stripes on black card stock is stunning! Then the strips of color for the heart, genius! Great idea!
