Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection from Spellbinders

Welcome to the weekend friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection from Spellbinders.  The bold designs in this collection can be used with so many interesting techniques and I was inspired to create three springtime cards for a variety of occasions.

FOILED THANK YOU CARD

One of my favorite ways to use these designs is also the simplest.  By taking the leftover foil from a background design, I can create an equally beautiful “negative” of that background for another card.  Here I added a few spring blooms to a golden leaf background for a pretty foiled thank you card

BIRTHDAY MINI SLIMLINE CARD

Next I thought it would be fun to create a bold focal point out of the negative of a foiled sentiment.  If you use colored cardstock for this, you can match the color of your sentiment to your background!

POSITIVE & NEGATIVE FOILED HELLO CARD

Since I was creating with negatives of foiled designs, I also thought it would be fun to try to use the opposite patterns together.  Here I used one of my favorite foil plates to create a pretty background for this easy hello card.

  • Adhere the background panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.
  • Add the foiled oval to the center of the card with more foam adhesive.
  • Pop the butterfly and sentiment up in the corners of the card.
  • Embellish with Aquamarine AB Gems.

I hope you enjoyed these foiled spring cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection from Spellbinders now and experiment with tons of new foiling techniques!  And don’t miss out on saving $25 on every order of $100 or more from now until Monday, April 18th!
