Happy Saturday, Friends! I It’s the first day of the month, and today I’ll be sharing with you these 2 “Crafty Friendship” cards made using the just released “Have a Crafty Day” Glimmer Hot Foil Kit Of The Month Club by Spellbinders. So, without further ado, let’s jump into the step by step on how I made them ↓
To begin with, as usual I started by setting up on my Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform and Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine then, I turned on the glimmer hot foil platform, and while the platform was heating up, I cut a large piece of the Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Aura included in this month kit using a sharp pair of scissors, and then right after that I lined up over a large piece of white cardstock the glimmer foil and the glimmer hot foil plate included in the kit.
So therefore, once the platform was ready to foil, I went ahead to get the first half of the cardstock foiled, and then after that I had it done I lined up the glimmer plate in the other half of the white cardstock and I went ahead to repeat the same step creating that way a full foiled background card panel. Thus, after that I trimmed the edges off from the card panel and I adhered the backing of it with double-sided tape to an A2 top folding white card base. So, after my card base was done, I set it aside and I went ahead to get the sentiment and the elements foiled. For the sentiment, I used one of the large glimmer foil plates included in the kit, and the following glimmer foil and glimmer plates to create the rest of the foiled elements:
-Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Gold
-Foliage Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Foiled Basics by Yana Smakula
-Organic Foliage Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Foiled Basics by Yana Smakula
Lastly, after I had the elements and sentiment foiled, I used one of the circle dies from the Nestabilities Standard Circles LG Etched Dies to die-cut the circle out of the cardstock, and then right after, I finished the card off by mounting the circle and by gluing down with liquid glue the little floral clusters which I created using the foiled flowers and sprigs.
Moving along, for the second example I create a small shaped clipboard/card.
To create the clipboard, I used the August-2019 Large Die of the Month so, if you have this die set it will pair perfectly with the awesome crafty glimmer plates.
With that said, I kept it simple by creating the base of the clipboard using another foiled card panel which, I’ve gotten foil in the same exact way as I did for the previous example. As for the sentiment I lined up a large and small glimmer foil plates over a piece of white cardstock, and I got them foiled with gold foil to create the sentiment. Finally, to finish the card off I used the die included in the set to die-cut the note from the cardstock and last but certainly not least, I embellished the little note with foiled flowers and sprigs that I have left over from the previous example.
As finishing touches, I used the dies included also in the set to create the paper clip and pen.
