Today I am sharing the Crimson Fall Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month from Spellbinders.
This month's kit is an amazing plate that can cover the entire front of an A2 sized card by hot foiling it twice.
There are also two sentiments in this set; Happy Fall Y'all and Hello Pumpkin
And every Glimmer Hot Foil kit comes with a roll of foil, this month the foil is Blush.
You can see this kit in action in this video where I make two fall cards, pairing up this plate set with Gel Press prints.
If you want to find out more about the Gel Press I have a lot of videos on print making right here.
Let's take a closer look at each of these cards.
The Gel Press print I used here is a more subtle background but has the look of weathered wood. I thought t was a great look for a fall card. I used Polished Brass foil and foiled the leaf plate twice to get this look. Quick and easy for a stunning background.
For the Happy Fall Y'all sentiment with Copper Foil, which has a metallic brownish look to it. I thought it complimented the background quite well.
I used the Happy Harvest stamp set by Fun Stampers Journey to accent today's cards. I just love that scarecrow! At the time of this post this stamp set is currently on sale!!! I colored up the images with my Copic Markers, cut them out and added them to the corner of the card. I then embellished the card with orange and yellow rainbow drops, my favorite gems to use on all my cards!!!
For my second card I went with a brighter background.
This time I hot foiled my background with Tangerine Foil. I just love the look of these leaves over a gel press print background. It would also look good over a watercolor or ink blended background.
I use the Polished Brass foil for the sentiment. I love having a Hello Pumpkin sentiment! So cute and so much fun! The pumpkin stamp I used is also from the Happy Harvest stamp set. I colored three, inspired by the colors in the background.
Again I added some rainbow drops to finish off this card, only orange gems this time. I love all the shine, texture and different mediums used on these cards.
Now let's take a look at these cards side by side. For the card on the left I started with a background panel that measured 5-1/2" x 4-1/4". I then foiled it twice with the leaf plate. You can see the leaves barely overlap, see the mid point on each side. I then trimmed this panel down to 5-1/4" x 4" to fit on my A2 sized card base with a border around the background.
For the card on the right my background started at 5-1/4" x 4". When I hot foiled my background twice on this panel there is much more overlapping on the sides. I don't mind this look at all and I did not have to trim it once it was foiled to add it to my card base. But I wanted you to see the difference and know this before you begin foiling with this plate. Either look is good in my opinion.
