Spellbinders July Release Part 3

 Hello everyone!  I have more Spellbinders July release products to share!  Today is all about sparkle and shine!  Did you know that you can foil on glitter cardstock?  I didn't until I watched a reel on Instagram by the super creative JJ Bolton where she shared that you can foil on glitter cardstock.  As a rule I generally don't watch reels because I find them irritating (apparently Kim Kardashian doesn't like them either, lol!).  But occasionally one will catch my eye and JJ's did.  I had some silver glitter cardstock that is very smooth, I gave it a try and it worked!   (A list of affiliate linked products is at the end of this post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)  Take a look at what I made.


This card uses the new Blooming Ornament Glimmer plate along with the new Merry Glimmer.  Sentiments plates.  Obviously I figured you can't have too much glitter or too much foiling, lol!  I used the pretty Forevergreen embossing folder, again, for the background.  I thought it would look nice to have the ornament appear to be hanging from a pine branch.   The foiling wasn't perfect on the ornament, but I have stopped looking for perfection!  Adding this to the 


When I did all the foiling on the first card I decided to foil some additional sentiments using black foil.  I love the look of the black foil against the silver glitter.  The sentiments set the theme for my card of black, white and silver.  At the time I did all the foiling I was also foiling different colors of cardstock with the Plaid Tidings Glimmer plate.  This panel was created with black cardstock and Prism foil.  It is very pretty in real life.  I found a panel of white cardstock that I had embossed with embossing folder called Faux Stitch from the May embossing folder club.  Unfortunately, this embossing folder is not available any more.  I thought it looked like snowflakes.  I cut the panel with an oval from the Fluted Ovals die set.  I die cut down the black and silver panel with a die from the Fluted Rectangles die set and adhered it to a white cardstock base.  The oval was layered on top of the foiled panel.  I then used the poinsettia and holly leaf dies from the Winter Welcome Sled die set and cut the pieces from black and white glitter cardstock.  I created the clusters at the top and bottom and then added the foiled sentiments.   Too much glitter and foil?  I don't think so, lol!
