Altenew March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop #1 + Giveaway

 



Welcome to the March 2023 Marvelous Monthly Series Blog Hop!  I have the most adorable new Hot Foil Plate and its coordinating stencil to share with you today.  Keep scrolling to see my project, learn all about the giveaway and to check out more creative projects from the Design Team.  

Let me show you the latest, Spark Joy: Sweet Strawberries!

Altenew


To create this card, I hot foiled the Strawberries in Gold Foil and then used the coordinating stencils to add in the color.  I love how easy this is!

Next, I added a scored frame around the card front for a little extra detail.  To finish off the card, I used the Versatile Greetings Die set, along with some Brushed Gold Metallic Cardstock to add in the sentiment.  LOVE this Brushed Gold Cardstock!!  Such a gorgeous look!

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!

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.
