Sending Birthday Wishes

Hi friends! I am here with a fun new card for Spellbinders using the new Glimmering Build A Banner. I just love this set of hot foil of plates to create a shiny sentiment!

The Simply Perfect Florets Embossing Folder is so fun for a bright white card base. I added in a beautiful Butterfly from the Delicate Butterfly Die Set. For the little blooms tucked in, I used Christmas Blooms. This is a very versatile die set that works for Christmas and any other occasion! Love these little flowers!

A LITTLE ABOUT HOT FOILING...

Spellbinders has a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System. This platform heats up metal plates called Glimmer Plates. These glimmer plates come in ALL different types....sentiments, florals, backgrounds, graphic details etc....and add the most gorgeous foiling detail to your cards. And the foils? There are LOTS of different colors to chose from!

Here are some links to help point you in the right direction....

Glimmer Hot Foil System

Glimmer Hot Foil Rolls

Glimmer Hot Foil Plates

The Glimmer Hot Foil System works great with a Platinum 6 Die Cut machine from Spellbinders but also works with other die cut machines. You can click HERE to see a compatibility chart.

First you heat up the platform and your glimmer plate on the Glimmer System Platform. Then you add in the foil and the cardstock and run it thorough your die cut machine. Once you pull off the foil negative, the magic happens! That foil that is set on your cardstock and the results are just gorgeous!

Altenew Dreamy Bouquet Fabric Release Blog Hop

Good morning friends! Today is a fun day over at Altenew! It's all about Fabric! Altenew is releasing an awesome new collection of fabrics in their beautiful bright colors called Dreamy Bouquet Fabric. These fabrics are perfect for any projects. Today, I decided to do a little craft room decoration to showcase these gorgeous new prints....

If you want an easy project with a bang, this one is for you! I chose my 3 favorite and added them to wooden hoops. That large floral print is beautiful and I love how much of it I could show off in that hoop.

No glueing or anything. I just trimmed off the back edge once it was tight in the hoop. The perfect pop of color for any craft room!

Check out the full release HERE!

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Magnolia Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Good morning friends! There is a new craft-a-flower in town and it is SO beautiful!! I made my card a little extra today by turning the flower into a magnet. What? Yep! I thought it would be fun to make it super super 3D and add the magnet to make it like a gift for someone to put on their fridge or even a craft cart.

So here is Altenew's new Craft-A-Flower: Magnolia...

I added some Deep Iris inking to a masked background and then got busy with the flower.

I used different shades of purple cardstock to layer up this bloom. It is so each to cut each section of the flower by using the guide on the back of the packaging.

Altenew has a whole series of gorgeous blooms in the Craft-A-Flower catagory. You can check them out by clicking HERE!

After each layer I added the same die cut of fun foam for major dimension.

You can see the full 3D effect when you look at it from this angle.

I simply added pieces of the magnet to the card front to attach the flower. Super easy!
