Valentine Wishes

Hello there! I have never been a big Valentine’s Day card maker but this year has been different. With all the social distancing we have been doing for almost a year now, I miss “sharing the love” with hugs and affection. When you can’t do that with a physical hug then a hand made card can be the next best thing. 🙂

This card is so pretty in person!! I hope to be able to show you thru multiple pictures some of the beauty in this card.

One of the features of the card is the center heart. I found this among my stash, cut from some pattern paper I had at some point. It is an ivory color so it sets itself apart from the white background. The white cardstock front was ink splattered with Altenew’s Jet Black Ink Spray, after I used Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate: Woven and Go Press and Foil: Clear Foil (iridescent finish).

The flowers and leaves were cut using Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate: Calligraphy Hearts and a card that I had done some alcohol inking on a long time ago. The alcohol inks I used were from Marabu: Olive Green and Garnet.

This was such an easy card to make and so pretty! I hope you liked it!

Happy Valentine’s Day Cards with Spellbinders Calligraphy Hearts

Good Morning! Today I have two cards to share for Valentine’s Day. They both have the same basic layout but with a couple of slight differences.

Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plates: Calligraphy Hearts and Perfect Fit Hexagon Strips are the highlights of today’s cards. Both of them have been Glimmer Kits of the Month at Spellbinderspaperarts.com .

To deepen the color of this fuschia card stock, I used Altenew’s Purple Wine crisp dye ink and an ink blending brush to blend the ink onto the exposed areas of the fuschia card stock.
I used the pink glimmer hot foil on the hexagon strips and the deeper, magenta foil on the hearts. Black foil was used for the sentiment in both the cards.
All the hearts and hexagon shapes were foiled with deep red foil.
The center heart was glued to the vellum heart and the vellum heart was mounted to the card with foam tape to elevate it, add texture and depth.

The supplies I used in these cards include: Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate: Calligraphy Hearts and Perfect Fit Hexagon Strips; Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil: GLF-006 (Pink) and GLF-039 (Magenta); Go Press and Foil: Deep Red Foil (mirror) and Midnight Black Foil (yellow matte finish); Altenew Red Card stock; My Favorite Things Stitched Heart STAX; Fuschia card stock; Altenew Purple Wine Crisp Dye Ink.

Hello: Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate: Framed Details

Hello! Today I have another card using the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Plate- Framed Details. I hope you like it.

This card is so easy to make! First you put the framed lines down on your card and foil it in the color you want (I used Rose Gold foil). Then place the falling leaves centered in the frame. I foiled the leaves in green mirror foil. I foiled the sentiment in rose gold, matte finish foil.

This picture shows the shine on the foil a little better than the first picture. I hope you’ll give hot foiling a try. It is easy and a lot of fun!!
