Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing a couple cards that I made using products from the Glimmering Flowers Collection from Spellbinders that just released this morning. I made two different cards using some of the products from this band new collection that is part of the April 2024 Spellbinders Release.
Spellbinders GLIMMERING FLOWERS COLLECTION:
Two Easy Hot Foiled and Ink Blended Cards:
Both of my cards today featured the Glimmering Peonies Glimmer Plate and Stencil Bundle (from Spellbinders). I wanted to share how you could take the same products and create two totally different projects with them. For both cards I also used the Curved Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate for all the sentiments.
Glimmering Peonies Card Number 1:
For my first card using the Glimmering Peonies Glimmer Plate and Stencil Bundle I used the Glimmering Peonies Glimmer Plate and some Gold Glimmer Hot Foil on a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock.
Once I had the image hot foiled it was time to use the coordinating stencils and use ink blending to fill in the color. I used distress inks for the ink blending along with the layering ink blending technique for this card. I also used the Gold Foil to foil the sentiments from the Curved Everyday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate. I then took the peonies hot foil plate and my Spellbinders WIZARD TAN EMBOSSING MATS to dry emboss the glimmer plate onto a pice of Pitch Black Cardstock (from Hero Arts).
All I had to do after that was to attach the embossed panel to my A2 top folding card base. I took the hot foiled image and cut it in half or sort of half and attached each part to my card front. I then added the sentiment to the card front.
Glimmering Peonies Card Card Number 2:
For my second card I took the panel of white cardstock that I did my hot foil on and used the stencils to do a little simple ink blending. For the ink blending I used distress oxide inks.
Once I had the entire panel ink blended I used my A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies and placed the third one from the outside on the panel. I then used a pencil and traced around the outside edge to create a frame. Once I had the outline traced I took my snips and cut around the inside of the traced line. Around the parts of the image that was sticking out from the rectangle I just did simple fussy cutting around them.
Once I had that completed I could then add my card front to my top folding A2 card base with foam adhesive. I then added a sentiment to the front but instead of hot foiling them in gold this time I used the Rainbow Glimmer Hot Foil.

To finish off the card I added a few of the Prism AB Color Essentials Gems. I sprinkled them around the second card because I thought it needed that little extra touch. For the black card I didn't add anything additional.
And that my friends is how you can create two totally different cards using the same products. I hope that you have a wonderful day and I will see you again soon.
