Christmas Cards POP with foil!!

The Spellbinders Glimmer Kit of the Month is gorgeous!!!  These hot plates make the m most beautiful foiled Christmas Card.  I love that you can keep it quick and easy with just the foil accents, or you can add in color....

I hot foiled this gorgeous pattern on white cardstock and then used the coordinating dies to cut out the curves.  Love that they are included!  Next, I used gold foil and added the sentiment to the bottom green panel.  I found the perfect red striped cardstock and added that to the top.  To finish off the card, I used foam tape to pop up that beautiful foiled panel.  I love foiling!!  Such a gorgeous touch!

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....

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 November 2021 Sparkle and Shine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Altenew's release today is a fun one!  Lots of new stamps, dies and stencils to create amazing projects.  I have one clean and simple project today using the new set called Stunning Starflowers!  Love this layered, multistep stamp and the gorgeous blooms it creates....

I stamped and die cut the flowers and layered them on a light gray card front.  Next, I cut out the leaf dies and added in some Altenew Alcohol Maker color.  I tucked those in right behind the blooms.  I stamped a sentiment along the bottom and then attached the card front to a white card base.  Super simple!

The countdown is on!

 Christmas is only 61 days away!!!  I can't believe it is coming around so fast!  Do you make your own Christmas cards?  You know I do love a good quick and easy card....and then mass producing is even easier!  But I am terrible at sending Christmas cards.  I will admit it!  But I do enjoy making them.  The latest Greetery Release....click HERE to see it...is full of beautiful stamps and dies to create your own Christmas cards.  

Here is one I just whipped up!

To create this card, I grabbed the Ornament Box Top Vertical Rubber Stamp and added Altenew's Morning Frost Ink.  I stamped it off once, so it would appear even lighter on the background panel.  I just wanted it for a little bit of detail.  Next, I used the Tartan Builder Stencils to create that plaid piece.  I die cut it out with the Cozy Cup Coaster Die.  I added that to the bottom of the card base and then added in the Pine Wisp Dies.  I die cut them out of white card stock and then used Copics to blend in a bit of brown for the stem and some green on the needles.  I added some spray adhesive and then sprinkled on 2 different sizes of white glitter for some sparkle.  I finished the card off with a sentiment from Opposites Attract Holiday Stamp set and its coordinating dies. I added a little holly detail in as well from the Curio: Attic Ornaments Die Set.

I know it's been super quiet around here.  I have been in full band mom mode with all the marching competitions.  In addition to that, I do Covid Investigations for our Health Department so between the 2, there has been zero crafting in here!  I am glad you stuck around and stopped by today! Hope you have a great day!
