Spellbinders Layered Glimmer Hot Foil

Hello! Today I am sharing cards created with the Layered Glimmer Hot Foil Collection at Spellbinders. The products in the collection include Glimmer Foil Plates AND Dies.

My first card showcases the Glimmered Botanical Plate and Die set.

For the large flowers, I foiled light teal cardstock using plates in the Glimmered Botanical Plate and Die set with Moondust foil.
I cut the flowers with their corresponding dies. I cut the next layers for those flowers from teal foil cardstock.
I foiled the set’s leaves, flower center, and small flowers in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut those pieces with their corresponding dies.
I foiled the Everyday Sentiments II sentiment in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock. I cut the sentiment with a circle die and trimmed off the top.
The card base is 4 1/4″ square. I cut a 4″ square from So Saffron cardstock with the largest dies in the Essential Squares set.

My second card combines elements from the Geometric Floral set, the Glimmered Botanical set, and a sentiment from the For You set.

I foiled the geometric frame and the sentiment together in Matte Gold on teal cardstock.
I foiled Moondust foil foliage using plates in the Geometric Floral set to the geometric frame.
I added the foiled panel to a Brush Gold card base.
I foiled the Glimmered Botanical set’s small flowers in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock, cut those pieces with their corresponding dies, and added them to the card with foam adhesive.
I cut small and large flowers with a die in the Geometric Floral set from Whip Cream and Brush Gold (centers) cardstock and added them to the card.

Spellbinders Marvelous Mermaids by Jane Davenport

Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with supplies from Spellbinders to showcase the Marvelous Mermaids Collection by Jane Davenport.

On the first card, I combined the Mermaid Paper Doll with the Mermaid Scale Tiles.

I colored Soft-Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks in shades of blue and cut the pieces with the second smallest die in the tiles set.
I used the template provided on the Spellbinders site to lay out the tiles and adhered them to a piece of aqua paper.
I colored the mermaid pieces with pastel in the Birthday Suit set and Distress Oxide inks.
For the torso piece: I stamped the bikini top, masked it, sponged on the pastel, removed the mask, and brushed on green ink to the bikini top. Then I put the cardstock back into the stamp press (on which I had left the stamp) and restamped the bikini top.
I stamped the face onto cardstock colored with the pastels; I stamped the hair onto cardstock colored with Distress Ink.
I cut all of the pieces with their corresponding dies and attached the pieces with brads.
I foiled the Thank You sentiment with black foil and cut it with a circle die.
I added the sentiment and mermaid to the tile background (measuring 5″ wide x 6 1/4″ tall).

My second card showcases the She Sells Sea Shells stamp set.

I foiled the Thank You sentiment in black foil on light blue cardstock.
I colored Soft Finish cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks.
I stamped the She Sells Sea Shells images onto the colored cardstock and fussy-cut them.
I trimmed the sentiment panel to 4″ wide x 5 1/4″ tall and added it to an A2-sized Brush Gold card base.
I scattered the shells on to the card front and adhered them with dot adhesive.

Spellbinders July Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! Today, I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop along with other papercrafters sharing projects created with the Spellbinders July 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Joy Baldwin. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two cards showcasing the July Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Ornamental Floral Card Creator.” I shared two other cards created with this set in this post.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to three blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Hop along for additional chances to win. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 26th, 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

My cards are similar in design; both combine the Small Die of the Month set with foiled sentiments from the Stylish Script Collection. On the first card, I foiled the Beautiful Ride sentiment and surrounded it with a frame, blossoms, foliage, and small flowers cut with the Small Die of the Month set.

Because the petals are the same color as the flower’s outline, inlaying the petals was easy. I simply added tape on the back when I first cut the shape. I glued the foliage pieces before adding leaves cut from Brush Gold.

On my second card, I foiled a sentiment from the For You set. This time, I simplified the floral clusters (eliminating the one in the upper-left corner) and added more small flowers cut from Brush Gold.

Thanks for stopping by! The next stop on the hop is the blog of Virginia Lu. Scroll for the list of participants.

Spellbinders/FSJ – Make a Splash

Hello! Today I’m sharing a card in which I envision a summer day at the pool (let’s imagine a post-pandemic day!) with new products from Spellbinders/FSJ. Growing up, I spent many a carefree, summer day at our local pool.

I die-cut the pool, pool ladder, and umbrellas with dies in the Pool With a View set. I added enamel dots to the tops of the umbrellas.
I stamped, colored, and fussy-cut two images from the Make a Splash set.
I stamped the Make a Splash sentiment and cut it with a circle die.
I dry-embossed the card background with the Bright Days folder.
I added the pieces to the scene with dot and foam adhesive.

Spellbinders Foiled Nautical Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card showcasing a foiled sentiment from the Spellbinders Stylish Script Collection.

I paired the foiled Thank You sentiment with ovals cut using dies in the Elegant Twist Ovals set. I previously shared a card created with this same die set here.

To create a nautical-themed Thank You:

Foil the sentiment on Whip Cream cardstock in Gold.
Cut the Elegant Twist Ovals frames from Brush Gold cardstock.
With dies in the set, cut an oval from Whip Cream cardstock; adhere to the back of the larger gold twist oval.
With a die in the set, cut the foiled sentiment cardstock; adhere the smaller gold twist oval on top.
Add the ovals to a card base covered with Carta Bella paper; add nautical stickers (Paper House Productions “At the Beach”) for embellishment.

Note: the card is slightly larger than A2.
