Handmade Cards Featuring the Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm sharing two cards created with items from the new Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders! 

For my projects I'm featuring the Essential Lexi-Gems Etched Dies, Hexi-Gem Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, and the Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.

My first card was inspired by Summer and I used several shades of blue paper and bold red cardstock. I also created a plaid background with the Plaid Company Embossing Folder. I love the way the textured background looks with the layered Hexi-Gems! This Americana color theme is perfect as we head into the Summer!

The second card was inspired by my husband and his love for his Scottish roots and plaid everything. I used Black Glimmer Hot Foil on metallic cream paper for the floral arrangement and added layers of black, gold, and red paper to coordinate with the plaid background. 

For the sentiment, I used the new Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set to add a foiled greeting to both cards. The best part of this sentiment set is that you can hot foil a bunch of sentiment strips and the coordinating die cuts them all out at one time, this save so much time! 

I hope you enjoyed a peek at the new Hexi-Gems Collection and are inspired to create with the fun Glimmer Hot Foil plates from Spellbinders!

Thanks for checking out my project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

My Favorite Things Card Featuring Spellbinders Glimmer Plates!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing two new cards created with the fun "All of My Favorite Things" Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Spellbinders!

My first card is a colorful design perfect for Spring and Summer! I used a Rainbow Glimmer Hot Foil to the sentiment and attached layers of bright pattern paper. I love the purple and green color combination, so pretty!

To bring in more rainbow color, I attached a bold pink card base and several pink glitter enamel dots. It's fun to play with colors and the Glimmer Foil really adds a beautiful finished look to your project, I just love it!

The second card is a similar style, but a different color palette. I went with Red, White, Blue, and Silver for this design and Black Glimmer Hot Foil. The black foil has quickly become one of my favorites and it gives a modern look to projects. I also enjoy using the White Hot Foil which is an alternative to embossing on dark paper.

The bold dark letters pop on the bright white paper, and I love the Patriotic paper layers! I also added enamel dots to complete this project, but went with solid black to coordinate with the greeting.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are inspired to create a foiled card. If you have not tried Glimmer Hot Foiling yet, I highly recommend you give it a try. Once I started, I just could not stop and I'm amazed each time I pull trefoil up to reveal a stunning design!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Nailed It! Card Featuring the Nailed It! Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Spellbinders!

Good morning everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm sharing a toolbox themed card featuring the cool new Nailed It! Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Spellbinders! This Glimmer Plate is from the Toolbox Essentials Collection by Nancy McCabe and is perfect for birthday cards, Thank You cards, and Father's Day projects!

This set includes two plates. One that has all the tools and a small "Nailed It!" sentiment.  I like that the greeting is a separate plate, so you can use it with the tools, or you can pick any greeting to use with the tool set. 

To complete the card, I added layers of dark red cardstock and a piece of metal-looking pattern paper that coordinates with the tool shop theme. I LOVE this foiled design and look forward to creating more tool-themed cards!

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

This release includes so many items to create year-round projects and beautiful birthday cards! My first card features the "Thanks Enclosed Sentiments Etched Dies" and  "Four Petal Bloom Reflection Etched Dies"!

I love this pretty floral die and these colors are lovely against the black background. The letters on the Thanks Enclosed Sentiments Etched Dies also give a cool modern look to the card, I love the layered look!

The next card also used the the "Thanks Enclosed Sentiments Etched Dies" and "Four Petal Bloom Reflection Etched Dies" but has a totally different look. I wanted to create an elegant card  and used metallic gold paper to cut the floral die. I love how the red, green, and gold colors look together!

I also used gold foil for the letters and repeated the colors on the paper layers. Lastly for some extra detail, I embossed the background with the Spellbinders Sun-Rays Embossing Folder and attached little gems to the centers of the the flowers, I love the sparkle!!!

The last card features the "Four Petal Scroll Label Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set". This Foil Plate has so much detail and really gives your project a "Wow" look! I used silver foil on black card stock and layers a deep pink paper to bring in a pop of color. This color combination is really stunning!

Lastly, I added layers of silver flitter and pink paper and created a foiled background paper layer. I also added clear gems around the center design for extra shimmer and pink paper behind the greeting to complete the card. This design is so pretty when the light shines on the foil!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card created with items from Spellbinders Paper Arts! I used the new Birthday Basics Stamp Set by Simon Hurley for this project and the large cake stamp is just perfect!

A Gift For You Card Featuring The Spellbinders Floral Reflection Etched Dies!

Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a vibrant card created with the new Spellbinders Floral Reflection Etched Dies. The layered flowers are so pretty and I like that you can customize your design by mixing the layered pieces.

For my card, I cut the base floral piece with lime green card stock and added bright colorful flower petals. For more detail, I glued clear gems to the centers of some of the flowers and used a gel pen to add little accents. I love the etched detail!

Since the background is black, the colors really pop and I thought the sentiment should pop too. I stamped "A Gift For You" and embossed it with white so it would stand out. I think embossing really adds a cool look to projects, especially white on dark paper. 

Lastly, I added white enamel dots and layers of hot pink and gold paper before adhering the card to a black card base. These colors are eye-catching and I'm looking forward to sending it to someone special!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and be sure to check out the entire Floral Reflection Collection in the Spellbinders Paper Arts Shop!
