Spellbinders Glimmer Kit of the Month is GORGEOUS! And so much fun to work with. This months hot foil plates are a frame of leaves with a coordinating die. 2 of the frames lined up create this really cool diamond centered frame of fall leaves. I love how the outside edge of the leaves are a thicker foiled line and the cut out perfectly with the coordinating die. There are also other little hot foil flower plates and dies along with a sentiment, which I used on today's card...
This card was super easy to create. I used the Polished Brass Foil on the leafy plates and die cut 2 of them with the coordinating die. You could color the leaves with so many different mediums but I chose alcohol makers to lightly add in color.
I hot foiled the sentiment on orange cardstock and, with foam tape, added it to the back of the frame. Using the Hemstitch Retangle Dies, I create a simple card base and then added the fall frame to the card front.

Are you new to 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....
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!
