Rainbow Dreams Inspirations Day 1 | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again friends, and Happy Thursday!

Have you been bitten by the foil bug? Either you love it or hate it. I have mixed reviews, lol. It depends on the day for me. Sometimes I foil without any issue and sometimes I get the worst transfers. For me, I think it is figuring out the papers that transfer best with solid plates that I sometimes have issues with. The thinner-lined foiled designs always transfer well for me. 

For my project today, I have a foiled card to share with you featuring products from the Rainbow Dreams release. *To use foil plates you will need a hot foil system. I used the Spellbinders one.

Please note all NEW products will go live after the Honey Bee Stamps Youtube live stream on Friday, May 27th, so the links below will not be active until then.

CARD RECIPE

This foiled rainbowlicious card features the new:

• Rainbow Hot Foil Plate
• Look For The Rainbow 
• Look For The Rainbow Dies
• Rainbow A2 Pierced Cover Plate
• Rainbow Builder A2 Card Base 

Other Supplies used:

• Scallop A2 Frame Dies
• Outdoor Scene Builder Stencils
• Intense Black Ink
• Bee Creative Glue
• White Foam Dots With Tab
• Iridescent Rain Drops
• RAINBOW Glimmer Foil
• AURA Glimmer Foil
• RED Glimmer Foil
• Hot Foil System

As you can see from the pictures the darker rainbow colors foiled beautifully, but if you look closely at the yellow on the rainbow, it is a bit patchy. That is why I only used half of the rainbows that I foiled to create this wave. The yellow and the red didn't transfer as well, and since I hate to waste I came up with this design to salvage the good pieces.

This card is so pretty in real life. The reflective properties of the foil make it difficult to photograph them well, but I think I captured them as well as possible.

I hope this inspired you today, and if you are like me don't give up on foiling if you had a few bad attempts. If I had I may have not made this pretty card. Also even though, things sometimes are challenging I love learning from my mistakes.

Thank you for stopping by and I will see you back here tomorrow with more Rainbow Dreams Inspirations... Happy Crafting!

Calligraphy Hearts Valentine Cards | Spellbinders | GOM January 2021

Happy Monday my crafty friends.

Today I am sharing with you a trio of Valentine's Day cards featuring Spellbinders January Calligraphy Hearts Glimmer Hot Foil set. 

This month's foil set also coordinates with the Small Die of the Month Lovely Card Creator, the Large Die of the Month Slimline Kaleidoscope and the Clear Stamp of the Month Sending Love Set. 

CARD DETAILS

I think these cards are very simple and self-explanatory to recreate so I won't go into too many details. Like any other foiled card, these cards require a  GLIMMER HOT FOIL SYSTEM. What I did was RED foil a variety of different colored cardstock using all 3 heart designs, and then used the coordinating heart die to cut them out. I did the same thing with the sentiments and then cut them into strips. The fun part was figuring out the design and layouts.  

This first card was super simple. I used foam to pop the hearts up and then trimmed off any excess paper that hung off the edges. I then added a foiled sentiment and a few white pearl embellishments.

Again this next card was super simple. It's hard to see in the picture but I added some scorelines to the top white part of the card to add some texture and interest to the card. I then added the two love hearts on the sides and then popped up the one heart in the center. This design hides the transition of the paper. 

The foiled sentiment was then added and then once again I used the white pearls as embellishments.

For the last card, I used the MODERN LINES GLIMMER PLATE to add SILVER foiled detail to the black cardstock piece. I then embellished the Calligraphy Heart further by adding some red and pink die cut flowers that also come with the set.

To the center of each flower, I then glued the same white pearls.

Keeping the color palette simple and limiting the supplies you use is a great way to create multiple coordinating card sets. Whenever I turn my HOT FOIL SYSTEM on I find it easier to create if my pieces are all foiled ahead of time. I also foil all the sentiments and cut them into strips. If you have any leftovers just keep them on hand for future projects (I store them in the die sleeve along with the dies). This will save you a little time next time you need a foiled sentiment strip!

I hope that you found these cards inspiring. If you are interested in signing up for the monthly Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month click HERE for all the details.

Elegant Foiled Wedding Cards featuring Wedding Season Dies by Nichol Spohr | Spellbinders

Hello Friends!

Today I have some beautiful Wedding cards to share with you. Even though the wedding season has been slower this year due to the Pandemic, couples are still getting married by having smaller more intimate gatherings or postposing them into the future. Either way, I am prepared, lol!

My cards today feature a few of the dies from Wedding Season by Nichol Spohr collection, which are perfect for all your wedding card needs!

CARD DETAILS

For my first card, I began by adding SILVER Glimmer Foil using the MODERN LINES GLIMMER PLATE on to a piece of Kraft card stock. I then used the largest frame from the RECTANGLE ETCHED DIES to trim down the panel.

Next, I die cut the HAPPILY EVER AFTER SENTIMENT using a silver foil cardstock. I also die cut the leaves from the same paper and the flowers using a white heavyweight card stock and glued the pieces in place as seen below.

To finish off this card, I added some ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS and added the panel onto a white A2 sized card base.

For this gold wedding card, I began by adding a dotted foil detail to the card panel using POLISHED BRASS Glimmer Foil and the GLIMMER RECTANGLE GLIMMER PLATES. I then die cut the card front with the largest frame from the RECTANGLE ETCHED DIES.

Here again, I kept the card simple by only using 2 colors. This time, I used the MR and MRS WEDDING CAKE DIES the I die cut the MR and MRS, the cake background, trim, and the leaves using a gold foil cardstock and the cake and flowers using white cardstock.

I then adhered the pieces onto the center of the card front panel, using foam tape to pop up some areas on the cake to add some dimension. And then just finished this card by adding some GOLD FOIL PEARLS for added interest.

I hope you were inspired by these simple yet Elegant Foiled Wedding Cards featuring Wedding Season Dies by Nichol Spohr.

Thank you for stopping by, wishing you all a wonderful weekend... Happy Crafting 👋
