Hello my crafty friends! Today I am sharing the April Glimmer Kit of the Month from Spellbinders. I LOVE the look of hot foiling and so getting a Glimmer Hot Foiling Kit in the mail each month is very exciting to me. AND, I love that Spellbinders adds in a roll of foil with each month's kit! The months kit is a set of borders and coordinating sentiments. It also contains 2 dies. This month's foil color is SILVER.
Get a look at the Glimmer Curved Borders and Sentiment Kit of the Month.
And you can see this kit in action in the video below:
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can watch it right here.
The border dies in this months kit are 5-3/4" in length, perfect for an A2 sized card (5-1/2" x 4-1/4"). But also just long enough for a Mini Slimline card (6" x 3", but size can vary a little) as well! So I decided to make a couple Mini Slimline cards with this set.
For the first card I hot foiled the borders onto three different shades of purple card stock with the silver foil. Each of these pieces of card stock was 5-3/4" long. Perfect size for a card front for a Mini Slimline card.
The dies in this set, cut the edge in the same curve that the simmered borders make, either in a smooth line or in a scallop. I used both of these dies on this card.
I also used the "For You" sentiment on this card.
The florals I used are from this months Large Die of the Month Kit. also a curved border theme! You can check out what I created with that kit right here.
I mounted all the pieces on to a 2-3/4" x 5-3/4" white card stock panel and then onto my 6" x 6" panel that is scored at 3" to make a mini slimline card.
For the second card I brought in some Fuchsia foil to add to the mix.
I hot foiled the floral border onto white card stock and water colored the images using Watercolor Pencils and a Wink of Stella pen.
Then I used the plate with the dotted line and scalloped border to hot foil on my three shades of purple card stock. Then cut the edge off with the coordinating die. I layered them all up and added them to a card base that is 5-3/4" x 6" , scored at 3". I also cut way part of the front of the card base so that the curve of the card is the card front. I love this look!
Here are the two cards once more. I love the silver foil with the shades of purple!
