Hello my stamping friends. Today I am hoping along with Spellbinders sharing inspiration with the January Club Kits.
I will be featuring the Large Die of the Month, Slimline Kaleidoscope, and the Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month, Calligraphy Hearts.
So many of the kits work well together as well as on their own. These two kits are great to use together.
Take a closer look at these two kits.
On the left we have the Large Die of the Month, a slimline die with layering heart to fit in the openings. And foliage dies for accenting.
On the right we have the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month, with three different hearts you can hot foil and die cut out. There are also 5 sentiments that can be hot foiled as well. And again, foliage dies for accenting.
You can see my video of the January Large Die of the Month kit HERE.
And my video of the January Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month HERE.
Now let's take a look at the card I made just for today's hop, combining both of these kits.
I started out this card by die cutting the slimline die from white card stock and three shades of pink card stock.
Next I adhered a window sheet panel to the back of the white die cut. This allowed me to paper piece in the fall out pieces around the large hearts using the shades of pink card stock that I also cut with the slimline die.
I love the ombre look this gives!
Then I took the largest hearts that are fall out pieces from the white die cut and glimmer hot foiled them with the Calligraphy Hearts set. The heart glimmer plates are the same size as this die cut. So I just taped my plate to the die cut and made a hinge. I opened that up and add my foil. Closed the die back onto the die cut and taped it closed. Then I was able to hot foil this with perfect placement. I did all three of my hearts with the same hot foil plate for a consistent look. To hot foil the hearts for my shaker I used my favorite foil, Aura. This foil is gold with an iridescent finish.
I used my die cut pink panels as a guide to add my foiled hearts to my card base, so they would be precisely placed when I added the front panel. And now the hearts show up in the window.
This card is also a shaker card, although the shaker elements are hard to see in the photo because I used a clear glass glitter. Because I paper pieces the hearts in and around the heart openings it was easy to create a shaker card and adhere this panel to my card base with foam adhesive.
That way you have the shiny shaker elements but it does not take away from the glimmer hot foiled hearts.
Lastly I added a hot foiled sentiment from the Calligraphy Hearts hot foil set. The finished size of this card is just a hair under 8-1/2" x 3-1/2".
I love these two kits paired together. And that they are great as stand alone die sets.

Oh Gosh! Can not wait to try this when I get my kit!

Beautiful cards. I have yet to make any slimline cards. This will be the first set of dies I own specifically for that. Alas, I won't be receiving mine until next month because I originally signed up late in the month for the subscription. In fact I only just got LAST month's large die of the month a couple of days ago.

Beautiful card, I am waiting patiently for my LDOTM to arrive.
