Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's! I hope you know, whatever stage you are at in motherhood you are doing a good job. I know we all feel like we can do more and do better, but it's okay to take a moment and tell yourself you are doing good. Show yourself some love today.
I am sharing the card I made for my mom and my mother-in-law. When I got the May Glimmer Kit of the Month from Spellbinders I immediately thought of Mother's Day cards! Here is picture of what comes in the kit, a Glimmer Plate set and a roll of foil.
The filigree plates you see here are not dies, but plates to be used on the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Which is basically a machine that heats up a platform on which you put the glimmer plate, foil, and card stock. Once heated you run all this through a standard die cutting machine. This will press the design on the glimmer plate into the card stock in foil. Pretty cool really!
The glimmer plates are not dies, even though they look like it. They are for transferring images in foil onto something, like card stock. But it just so happens that this month's Glimmer Kit came with two dies as well. The oval and piece in the center of the package are dies that coordinate with the set. So you can die cut the center of your foiled image and die cut out the smaller filigree pieces! I love it. However, I did not use either of the dies on today's project.
What I love so much about this plate is that I was able to apply it to my card stock and then add very little to it and still have a card that is stunning.
You can see the difference between the hot-foiled image, which is pressed into the paper and the embossed sentiment which is raised up on the paper.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I'll be back soon with another paper creation.
