♥ Pearls, Foil and Shimmer, Oh my! ♥

Hi there! Stopping in today with a super elegant yet easy to make Foil card. I used a fabulous Hot Foil Plate and Die Set by Amazing Paper Grace along with the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System.

I simply foiled the base of my card using the Elegant Square Glorious Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and the Matte Gold Foil. I then fussy cut the medium size swirl image and adhered that to the center. I then added the smaller image to the center of the last one using some foam dots for dimension. I then die cut a Hemstitch Square (Love this Die Set!) and adhered that using foam dots. I then added little pearls around it. Then I finished it up with a bow and a few more pearls. Simple, easy but yet very elegant. Can be used for a number of different occasions.

You can find all of Becca's fabulous Hot Foil plates HERE and all of her amazing Dies HERE!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

                            

Sending you Christmas hugs...

♥ Merry Christmas ♥

I can't believe it is exactly a week from Christmas Eve! How come the older you get, the faster time goes?? Crazy, right?! Today, I wanted to share a super shiny and easy card I made with the Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders and some beautiful Glimmer Hot Foil Plates.

The red foil on the base of the card is the Elegant Rectangle Glorious Glimmer Plate by Amazing Paper Grace. I then die cut in gold the Braided Grace Square Etched Die and placed it over top using some foam dots. I then added the Merry Christmas Holiday Glimmer Plate over that also using some foam dots. That plate also comes with the matching die so it can be easily trimmed out. I used the Green, Red and Gold Foils which can be purchased separately or in the Holiday Variety Pack that also comes with Silver Foil. 

What a fun machine to use! You can find all of the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plates, Foil and Machine HERE!

Have an amazing day!

♥ Glimmer Foil Thank You ♥

Thank You season is almost here! Well it is around here anyway! We all send out Thank you cards after Christmas for all of the gifts that we receive, as well as, throughout the year. So we can never have enough of them! I wanted to make some quick and easy ones to have on hand. So I broke out the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Machine and a couple Amazing Paper Grace Hot Foil Plates to make some shimmery Foiled Thank you cards. I used the Elegant Rectangle Foil Plate and the Elegant Foil Seals Plates by Becca. She also made Elegant Monograms Plates that you could use instead of the Seals, so you can make monogrammed Thank you's, if you wish.

I went and took this picture outside to show you just how much shimmer these foils have! So beautiful! You can find all of Becca's fabulous plates HERE!

Have a wonderful day!

AMAZING PAPER GRACE DECEMBER DIE OF THE MONTH BLOG HOP

Good morning!!  Every month we'll be bringing you inspiration for the Die of the Month; today is our Die of the Month Blog Hop!!   The Die of the Month is like a "Swiss army knife"  you can manipulate it to do a variety of things.  At the very least you can do a card and normally you can use the pieces and parts for cards and other 3D items.  The Creative Team has joined in for everyone to give you their spin, in their style.  We hope you'll see something that resonates and inspires you.

If you are new to our blogs, the Die of the Month is an exclusive die Becca has designed for Spellbinders - it is called Softly Spoke'n Flip and Gatefold Die.  This particular set has 9 dies and they can be used to make a background, a gatefold card, a tent card and the individual dies in the set can be used for many things.

If you want to find out more about the Club - prices, how you sign up and what's included, please look --------> HERE.
If you missed the introduction and want to know more about what inspired the Die of the Month Club, look ------->HERE.

                          
                    
My First Project:

I made a sweet little basket using this amazing Die set. I simply cut out 2 of the larger die cuts using the insert on just 1 side of each die cut. (I also cut a 2nd die cut using gold paper and adhered it, offset, behind the original die cut.) I then folded them and attached them to each other on the bottom with some adhesive. I then cut the side panels by just measuring the width of the basket but left a 1/8" on both sides. I then scored a 1/8" line on each side and adhered those "tabs" to the inside of the basket. So easy and fun to make! These are great to hold candy, a gift card, money or would make great favor holders for a wedding.

My Second Project: 

I made a card using the die as the top layer to the front of my card. Easy peasy! Such a lovely die!!  

I adhered the die cut using some pop dots to give the card depth. This fabulous Die set can be used for so many things and so many different ways! Love it!!

♥ Glimmer Foil Flowers ♥

Hello there. Sharing a card I made using some of the beautiful Glimmer Plates by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. Love the shine of these foils and when you match them up with Becca's amazing plates, you have one glimmery and beautiful card.

I stared with Emmeline Treillage dies as the base of my card. I then used the Foil Flowers Glorious Glimmer Plates to make the flowers and leaf sprigs. I used the Rose Gold, Pink and Green Foils.

I then used the Happy Birthday plate from the Elegant Occasion Sentiments Glorious Glimmer Plates. For that, I used the Matte Gold Foil.

Using the Glimmer Hot Foil System is too fun! And it's super easy! I keep looking for things to foil! :) You can find all of Becca's gorgeous glimmer plates and more, HERE!

Have a wonderful day!
