Altenew Glint & Glimmer Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Altenew has an AMAZING new release today called Glint and Glimmer!  There are several new hot foil plates that are going to make you smile!

Today I am using the new set called Sparkle Bright Set.  It includes a stamp set, a die and the coordinating hot foil plate.  Check it out....

First using Cooper foil, I hot foiled a piece of white cardstock.  With my Misti, I used the stamp and lined it up with the foil stamping it in black ink. After die cutting the image, I popped it ups til a piece of black fun foam for dimension.  I love the image just as is with the foil and black lines.  

I added a Sentiment Strip for a quick and easy finish to the card.

The Greetery - Tags and Toasts...

I am SUPER excited to bring you this post today!  The Greetery has the cutest little release of several AMAZING products!!  Everything you see today will be available tomorrow, Friday, November 12th at 10am EST.  If you would love to see all of these new products live, come over to Instagram and hang out with me on The Greetery's page where I will be sharing all the details of these new stamps, dies and stencils!  And don't forget the new hot foil plates. Hang tight with me because I have LOTS to share!

Click HERE to see the full release that will be live Friday the 12th at 10am EST.

Let's get started with These amazing new grad products.  First up, this amazing swirly die called Year In, Year Out.  This die is perfect for graduation cards for 2022.  I combined it with the It's The Year: 2022 Hot Foil plate to create this fun card....

I masked off the background and added in a little gray ink.  I die cut the Year in, Year Out die with maroon cardstock....our school colors!  Next I added in some darker Copic shading to the center for a little depth.  I hot foiled the 2022 in black foil on gray cardstock.  Love that look!  Last, I die cut the Year In, Year Out die again in silver cardstock and popped up those stars around the front of the card.  Using the Year In, Year Out Sentiment Set, I stamped the Congrats Grad on the little banner in white and popped it up on the front.  

The next round of products are called Tag Team Duo.  This is an awesome set of Tag Dies that has some super fun add-ons.  There is a hot foil plate. a stamp set, and a stencil set to create any type of tag you would want!  The possibilities are endless.  Here are 2 quick tags I made using the Hot Foil plate....look at the foiled edges....so cute!!  I added in a little striped stenciling and then stome fun details from past stamps sets. 

Here is a set of 4 tags I made using the hot foil plate, 2 tags are stamped with sentiments from Tag Team Duo Labels Stamp Set, along with the trees from Fir and Foliage Stamp Set.  Super easy and fun to make!

_____________________________________

I wanted to share some tags using the new stencils and stamp set in non-holiday form.  I LOVE this big stripe stencil and all the little detail stamps to go with it!

_____________________________________

Another exciting addition to the Opposites Attract Stamp Sets are the new hot foil plates!  LOVE!!!  I used a past favorite, Print Shop: Fresh Floral Stamp Set, along with the new Opposites Attract Hot Foil plates.  There is also a new Opposites Attract Holiday Hot Foil plate too!  Yay!!

I die cut it out with the Postal Frames Dies and then layered it on top of a striped cardstock that I cut out with the Crimped Frame Dies.  I finished it off the "to say hello" sentiment stamped in black ink and die cut with the Opposites Attract Script Dies.

Look at that shine!

The Greetery will be giving away two $50 gift certificates.  All you have to do is leave comments along the way, on each stop of today's hop!

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 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 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!
