A little info about commenting here on my blog....


My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam.  The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out.  If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok!  I will see it and I will get it posted for you.  

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account.  I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain.  If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner!  I am sorry for the annoyance.  I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should.  I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again... Blogger is a pain.

Today's quick and easy project using the new Magic Burst Hot Foil Plate.  I used Silver Foil and hot foiled the image to a navy blue card base.  


Altenew


Using the Layered Snowflakes 2 dies, I simply used one of the dies to add in the white snowflake.  There are several dies in the set that can be layered to make amazing detail, but they can also be used alone for the perfect quick and easy snowflakes for your projects.  To finish off the card, I used the Hello and Hugs Die Set to add in the die cut sentiment.   The sentiment was die cut using Altenew's Brushed Silver Metallic Cardstock.  If you haven't seen this cardstock yet, click HERE.  These cardstocks are absolutely gorgeous and die cut beautifully!

Are you new to hot foiling?


To get the gorgeous hot foiled look, you need a platform called Glimmer Hot Foil System.  This platform heats up the Hot Foil Plates.  Altenew has Hot Foil Plates 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....






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!

Sending Happiness {Spellbinders}...

 Have you jumped in to foiling yet?  If you haven't, this month would be a great one to start because the Spellbinders Glimmer Kit of the Month is AMAZING!  Check out the full kit....

The large oval shape is a full solid plate with LOTS of possibilities!  Then you have that gorgeous floral image that would be left solid or chose your favorite medium to color in the blooms.  It also comes with 2 sentiment plates and dies to cut them out.


Spellbinders


To create this card, I used Rose Gold Foil to add the large oval plate to a piece of white card stock.  Next, I used the Dazzling Dots Embossing Folder to add texture to that white card front.  Using the main floral image, I foiled black cardstock with silver foil and then added that to the card front with foam tape.  Last, I foiled the sentiment with silver and then added that to the card as well.  Lots of fun detail but a really simple to make card!


Spellbinders


Spellbinders has several different Monthly Kit options to choose from.  Click HERE to learn about the die kits, the Card kit and many more!

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop


 
Hello friends!  Welcome to the Altenew's Bold and Beautiful Blog Hop!   Altenew has hit it out of the park again this month with some amazing new stamps and dies.  Click HERE to see today's full release!

To get started, I have a super clean and simple card using a set that may be a new favorite.  It is soooo pretty!  This set is called Arch of Flowers.  You can also purchase a coordinating stencil and there are coordinating dies!  Click HERE to see the full bundle.  

Altenew


To create this card, I first grabbed a white card base and added scoring every half inch on the full card front.  Next, I stamped and stenciled in the color to the arched image.  I just love those flowers!!


Altenew


For the sentiment, I used the new One-Go Birthday Sentiments.  It is one stamp full of sentiments with the perfect die to cut them all out at once.  Love that!  I heat embossed the full panel so now I have a little stash of sentiments for next time.  I added that sentiment banner across the bottom and then finished off the card with clear drop flower centers.  


Altenew
