Celebrating the Virgo with Spellbinders

 Hi there friends!

Today I am showing off the first card I made with Spellbinders new Block Print Zodiacs Collection. 

I chose to use an embossing folder with poppies which are considered an August flower. I used red paper and black ink. I applied ink to the smooth side of the inside of the embossing folder before I ran it through the machine.

I used red foil and the Glimmer system to apply hot foil to the black paper. The text pieces were just cut by hand after foiling them. 

The great thing about Betterpress plates is that they also work in the Glimmer Foil System and can easily add shimmer and sparkle to your projects. 

Check out the supply list below for all that I used to make this card.

White Spruce Floral Card

 Hi friends!

Today I am sharing this colorful spring birthday card.  I am using a design by White Spruce Studio called Garden of Daisy Doodles. 

Instructions to make this card: 

1. Print design out on cardstock. I usually put 2 on the same page in case I mess up. If I don't mess up, I have another one for another card. 

2. Color the flowers with your choice of medium. I used alcohol markers.

 3. Stamp a sentiment. I opted to use the Spellbinders Glimmer machine to foil on pink paper. When I foil, I do the whole package of plates at once and save the leftovers for another project. I am using BetterPress plates for their letterpress system. They can also be used for hot foiling.

4. Use a frame die to cut the artwork down to 4x5.25 inches. 

5. Use another frame die to cut another panel in a complimentary color. This die should be 4.25x5.5 inches.

6. Attach the sentiment with foam adhesive. 

5. Add some black spatter paint and clear sequins for more interesting embellishment.
