Happy August 1st stamping Friends! What a crafty summer this has been so far! Today I am Glimmering with the Spellbinders August 2020 Glimmer Kit of the month. This month’s set is called“Have a Crafty Day”

For this card I paired black foil, essential circles and the Pretty Plaid embossing folders for a clean, striking look.

The crafty background (plate) and the coordinating “Aura Foil Roll”  are both part of the kit this month too. Perfect for creating foiled cards for all your crafty friends!

I Love the “Sending Crafty Hugs sentiment”. Here is a close up of the Auroa Foil- It pairs perfectly with copper and gold cardstock!

The Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil kit is a monthly subscription and a great way to build your collection of glimmer plates and foils.

You will need the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine to use with this subscription, plus a compatible die cutting machine. (Save 10% when you subscribe!)

Happy Foiling!

I am loving all the rainbow cards I am seeing in all my social media so I decided to make a Happy Birthday Rainbow card Stamp Simply Style.

This card is incredibly easy. Heat emboss with white powder on rainbow color cardstock strips. Center them on the card and add enamel dots!

The tiny sentiment is from the Stick figure sentiment set. Hope this brightens your day!

Tried my hand at some multi colored tulips from the The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

So Pretty! I paired the Get Well Tulip with the All occasion sentiments.

I kept adding layers of copic color to get the yellow and red to blend!

And I did color the background with 3 shades of gray!

This month The Spellbinders Glimmer Hot foil kit is called “Illustrative Floral”. You get 3 decorative glimmer frames and 3 smaller decorative elements. There’s also an add-on available! The Essential Labels dies. which coordinates perfect with this Glimmer kit.

I paired the glimmer frame with the tiny flowers from the July Small Die of the month. The leaves and stems are from the Botanical House Etched dies.

My tip for leaves and stems: I die cut a bunch (like 20 each) in several shades of greens, plus white, silver and gold. Then I have them ready for cards when I need them!

The Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil kit is a monthly subscription and a great way to build your collection of glimmer plates and foils.

You will need the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine to use with this subscription, plus a compatible die cutting machine. 

Happy Foiling!

Hello Stamping Friends! Today I am sharing a few cards using the NEW July release: Stylish Script. They are a sentiment Glimmer Plate collection from Spellbinders.

I kept this first card pretty simple. These sentiments are gorgeous! Black foil for the sentiment and gold card stock peeking through!

I used the “thank you” and the “happy birthday” but there are 4 options in this collection with a total of 6 sentiments. They are so versatile!

I love this FSJ Cement Tile stencil. I need to use it more often!

Does it look a little familiar? Its a similar font to the June 2020 Glimmer kit of the month. I loved the June 2020 Glimmer kit and the sentiments!

I am totally loving the Glimmer Hot Foil System and all the fun accessories it comes with! Such a Fun addition to my cardmaking.
