Happy Valentine's Day! As you might know, the 14th of every month Spellbinders releases it's new collections. I will be featuring some of those collections in the next few days. Today, I will be showing off the new Spring into Glimmer Collection with the first of 3 projects I have created using some of the dies and glimmer plates from that collection. Today's card is:
This card was super fun to create. I started with a white A2 sized card base. I then cut a piece of lavender cardstock to fit the complete front of the card and attached it using Easy Glide Adhesive Tape Runner. To this I add a piece of white cardstock that measured 4 x 5.25 which was cut using my Paper Trimmer and also attached to the front of the base card. Next, using the The Layered Stitched Background die set which was the Large Die of the Month for December 2021, I first stitched it with the variegated purple embossing thread from the Spellbinders Variegated Floss Bundle with a #22 needle and embroidered each design element. Next I cut the outside border piece from a slightly darker lavender cardstock and attached it over the stitching using Bearly Art Liquid Glue and the adhered it to the bottom half of the card using the same glue.
Next, using the Glimmer Hot Foil System, I glimmered the flowers with Lavender Petal foil and then cut them out using my Platinum 6 Die Cutting Machine and the matching dies. Next I cut out the leaves and flower buds using green and purple cardstock. The glimmered flower was then glued together using liquid glue and the flower and greenery was arranged and glued in place as shown. I also added a lavender enamel drop to the center of the flower from my stash.
The Butterfly was glimmered using the Glimmer Edge Butterfly set and Cobalt Blue foil. It was then cut out using the included die and the body of the butterfly was cut using black cardstock and glued to the center of the body using the liquid glue. Butterfly was attached to the card, by gluing just one wing so that it appears to be flying.
Finally the sentiment was chosen from the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments set using Gold Foil. It was also cut out using the included die. It was then popped up using foam squares and placed just above the embroidered section as shown below.
I really love how the Glimmer Hot Foil adds so much to each card it is used on. It makes it all the more special. So if you haven't checked out the system, foils, and glimmer plates, you must do so. The will definitely enhance your card making fun!
