Spellbinders Spring Into Glimmer Collection

Hello Crafters!

I'm so excited to be able to share these beautiful new Spellbinders products with you from the Spring Into Glimmer Collection available in the Spellbinders' store now! I have a few inspiration cards that I've created and I was happy to find that Spellbinders also carries Distress and Oxide inks now. Needless to say, I felt it appropriate to create these bold coloured cards with some Oxide Inks. I hope you like them!

CARD 1

For this card I started by foiling those beautiful Glimmer Edge Flowers with Polished Brass Foil and cut them out with the coordinating dies. These flowers are special because the dies cut right up to the edge of the foil so there is no white border, which I love!

I also foiled the "thanks" sentiment from the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments set with the same foil and die cut it. I used the rest of the foliage dies to cut out the images from Spellbinders Gold Glitter cardstock (which is from the All Aboard Card Kit released during Christmas 2021) and Sizzix Opulent gold cardstock. I assembled all the die cuts with my Bearly Arts glue then worked on that background.

I used Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Pine Needles and Tattered Rose Oxide Inks to ink blend a white piece of cardstock in that order. I used the largest 3 rectangles from the Spellbinders Mini Slimline Envelope & Nested Card Creator Die set (July 2021 LDOM) to cut out 2 frames and the center of the ink blended panel.

I then adhered the outside frame and center piece (with craft foam) onto a mini slimline card base. I arranged the floral elements and foliage with a combination foam squares and liquid glue. And I attached the sentiment with foam strips. I finished this card off with some Spellbinders Gold Mix Jewels.

I also decorated the inside a bit (see the video) with a couple of strips of the ink blended background and more floral elements!

CARD 2

For this card I used a letterpress technique to dry emboss the flowers from the Glimmer Edge Flowers set. I did this on some Sizzix Opulent Ivory Shimmer cardstock (don't forget to with the paper with a spritz of water first). I foiled more of those glimmer edge flowers on dark green cardstock with Spellbinders Aura foil and cut out more of the foliage from gold cardstock and dark green cardstock and assembled the flowers. I also die cut a few leaves from vellum.

I used the Sentiment Banner Hot Foil Plate and Dies to foil the "Sending Birthday Wishes" banner on light pink cardstock for contrast with the green. Again I used Aura foil and I then assembled the banner. This is fun because you can tailor the banner to your preference - for example adding foam for dimension, angling the sentiment banners differently, etc.

I cut the letterpress background down to size (4.75" x 6.75") and adhered it to a 5" x 7" white card base. I adhered the banner with foam squares and arranged the flowers and foliage around the banner with liquid glue. Finally I added some AB clear jewels to the background and on some of the die cuts.

It is really hard to pick up that letterpress on the background but I hope you can see some of it. It is really a great way to get more use out of your foil plates!

CARD 3

For this card I did a lot of foiling of those glimmer flowers on white cardstock and acetate using Spellbinders Prism Foil. I die cut the flowers and chose to fussy cut the acetate as die cutting doesn't always work for the intricate centers of these flowers. I die cut the foliage and other elements from some Sizzix Opulent Silver Glitter and Mirror cardstock and some DCWV holographic cardstock.

For the background, I ink blended a 4" x 5.25" panel with Pine Needles (center), Chipped Sapphire (edge) and Black Soot (edge) Oxide inks. I then foiled the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments set in Prism foil. I had a bit of double foiling but I thought it worked as a shadow for this busy card! I added a foiled border as well from the Spellbinders Scalloped rectangles Glimmer Essentials set. I used a smaller rectangle so I could still see the border through all of those flowers.

I assembled the flowers and foliage elements with Bearly Art glue and then arranged them around the edges of the panel, adhering some with foam squares and some with liquid glue. I strategically placed the acetate pieces after the cardstock to fill in open areas. I cut off the overhanging bits and placed some of them back on the panel on the edges, which is a neat trick to fill in more space and save time foiling more images.

I adhered the panel onto an A2-sized top folding card base. Then I finished this panel off with some AB Clear jewels, especially placing them in the centers of the acetate flowers to cover up the adhesive.

And that is my inspiration for this great release! These are some really cool products and all of the supplied are listed below.
