Spellbinders September Glimmer of the Month Gilded Weave

Every month, Spellbinders has several Club releases. You can learn about all the Spellbinders Club, by clicking HERE. New sign ups are every month from the 7th-27th. If you don't want to join the club, it may be available for individual purchase on the 10th of the following month but at a much higher price. Plus there are several advantages to joining a club such as discounts on Spellbinders products and early availability to purchase new releases. You can leave a club at any time, so it's a win-win.

For my card today, I used the Glimmer Hot Foil of the Month Club for September. It is called Gilded Weave. It looks like fabric, to me a bit of linen or burlap. The Club Kit includes a roll of foil. This month it's copper foil. The Glimmer kit includes 2 sentiments, one of which I used here.

I ink blended the yellow cardstock with Distress Oxide Ink in Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade. I let the ink dry before applying Copper Foil.

I decided to make a Halloween themed card, I added the Boo Crew, the 3 cute ghosts all dressed up. It's from the Spooktacular Collection. I had used this set once before, you can see that post HERE using this card.

Spellbinders Starry Holiday Collection by Dina Wakely

 

The Spellbinders Starry Holiday by Dina Wakely Collection is in Dina's signature mixed media style. You can see the entire collection HERE.  

I used the Cheer and Good Tidings Deer on both my cards, just changing the background. I used Glimmer Hot foil for the deers rather than the BetterPress System. 

On my first card, I used brown cardstock with Copper Glimmer hot foil. I then diecut the deer with the die that is included in the set. There is also a sentiment and diecut that I did the same. I used a bit of Hazelnut Copic marker for a bit of shading on the deer. I added 2 more deer diecuts underneath the top layer for a bit of dimension, I did the same to the sentiment.

The background is copper metallic cardstock from Michaels, I used the Stars and Fronds Frame 3D embossing folder on it. So pretty! After embossing it, I wiped some black acrylic paint over the top and wiped away most of the excess just to highlight and age the cardstock.

My 2nd card is Glimmer hot foil on Onyx Matte Metallic Cardstock from the Treasured Cardstock pack. This cardstock has a slight shimmer but the real attraction is how smooth it is. It foils like a dream.  I copied the registration plate for this deer on white copy paper so I could put it on my Glimmer hot foil machine. I then hot foiled the stars in gold and the deer in copper. I love the smooth look of this card, dramatic!

Spellbinders Bibi's Musical Notes Collection Pop-Up Card!

 

For today's card I used several items from Spellbinders Bibi's Musical Notes Collection. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I decided to add the pop up element to the inside of the card. This can be used for other themes, wouldn't it look great with snowflakes?

Here's a quick video showing how to diecut and attach the spiral element:

It's actually pretty simple. I cut 2 panels from pink cardstock (mine is 65lb) they measured 5 1/4" square. I wanted a border on my white 

5 1/2" square card. 

The die cuts the spiral but leaves one end attached to the base. I adhered this base to the inside of the card, applying glue all around the spiral but NOT on the spiral. I placed a bit of glue to the center of the spiral only, closed the card to attach it to the other side of the card. Perfect placement that way.

Spellbinders Deck the Paws

 

I just love this guy. Spellbinders didn't send me this one, I ordered it as soon as I saw him. It's part of the Merry Mischief Collection which you can see HERE. There's lots of cute images included in this set, all fun.

I adored the Pupkin dieset for Halloween and that one sold out in a minute. I looked at Spellbinders, Scrapbookcom, SSS, and he is sold out! 

So if you want the Christmas one,  drop everything and get him HERE or look down in my supplies and I'll list a few other places he can be ordered.

I used a background from my stash that was dipped and sprayed with some blues. I started with the background which is Distress Watercolor Cardstock, Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigments (I used blue and purple) and a spritz of Chroma Mist. I dropped some on a craft mat. I love the splatters it produces. I mist my paper, then pull it through, dry it and then pounce my paper into the ink over and over, drying between layers. I used the Arch Labels and Tags dieset to cut the shape.

I love that the Deck the Paws set includes a sentiment stamps. They go perfectly with the set!

The background panel is Spellbinders Indigo Cardstock cut to A2 size. If you like a dark navy cardstock, this is a great one. It's 100 lb smooth cardstock. It's specially made for Spellbinders, very smooth it works well with Glimmer hot foil. I misted it lightly with water and embossed with the Country Christmas embossing folder. This is one of my favorite folders for this year. I lightly ran a white pigment ink pad over the top.

I popped up the tree dog with some fun foam for added dimension. And that's it for today!

Sizzix Special Delivery by 49 & Market

 

I jumped onto the postage stamp craze. I've wanted to buy some but whenever I went to order them, there were too many choices! Dies, stamps, stencils 7 different ways! I seriously couldn't figure out what I was ordering. So I jumped at this set, it includes the stamps AND the dies in one package! Here's photos of what's included:

It's called Special Delivery 49 & Market for Sizzix. It includes 27 stamps and 11 dies. You can check it out HERE.

Everything I used on this card is from the set, except of course, ink and paper. I used Distress Ink to stamp all the images. There are solid stamps to color the postage.

For the background panel, I used a piece of paper I had inked in Distress Oxide on my gel plate. I love the look, it's 3 of my favorite Distress Oxide colors, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw and Salvaged Patina. I drag each of these colors onto the gel plate then use a brayer to lightly blend the colors before pressing my cardstock into it.

I used the postal mark stamps included in the set inked with Lost Shadow Distress ink. I think it made a nice background paper. I "cancelled" some of the postage stamps to add a bit of realism.

One tip when stamping and diecutting the postage stamps and the tiny images, diecut the paper first. It's easier to stamp the diecut than try to line the die onto the stamped image. This is how I did it, I took a piece of white cardstock, diecut all the pieces I wanted to use for my card. Then I put the diecut paper onto my Misti stamping platform. I pulled out each of the diecut shapes. I then placed the stamp into the negative space (cutout space). This will line up the stamp perfectly. I close the lid of the Misti so the stamp is picked up where it needs to go. Place the diecut piece back into it's space. Ink and stamp the stamp. Voila! Perfectly lined up image. Here is the 1 min video:

I cut a piece of white cardstock for the mat for the 4 postage stamps, popped it up on my panel, added a silver bow and a few gem stickers from my stash. Some of those are 20 years old, lol.

That's it for today.
