Spellbinders New Glimmer Card Front Sentiments

 Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing two cards I made with the new Spellbinders Glimmer Cardfront Sentiments Collection!  There are six awesome Glimmer sentiments and a stencil with a coordinating die in this collection!

For this card, I only used the Hello Blooms Stencil & Die Bundle.  I just noticed that the bundle is already sold out! So sorry, but just click the "notify me when available" button and you will be among the first to know when it is back in stock.  The good news is that the Hello Blooms Stencil is  still available!

I used a variety of Distress Inks, and one other, that I've listed below to color the flowers through the stencil.  I used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I added foam tape to the back and set it aside to make my card base and background layer.

After I embossed some 80# Neenah with the Dazzling Dots embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".  Then I inked up the edges of an A2 card base with the same coral ink I used on the flowers.  It's a great way to coordinate perfectly with your image!  Just be sure to add a strip of removable tape along the scored fold before inking.

The sentiment die and shadow die are included in the Hello Blooms Stencil & Die Bundle.  I die cut the sentiment three times, once from inked up coral paper and twice from white.  I adhered the layers together and then added it to the shadow layer.

My second card includes the This Card is Full Of Hugs Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.

First I cut a piece of Pink Sand paper to 4" x 5-¼".  Then I placed Layer 2 of the Hello Blooms stencil on one corner of the piece and colored just the three flowers.  That made is easy to position Layer 1 and color the large flower.  I used Distress Oxide inks and sponge daubers.

The Distress Oxides take more time to dry, so make sure each layer is dry before stenciling the next layer.

I added the leaves and stems, and the flowers centers.  Then I repeated all of the steps in the opposite corner of the layer.

When the ink was totally dry, I added the This Card Is Full of Hugs hot foil plate with Gold Glimmer Hot Foil.  I followed the directions for the Glimmer Hot Foil System to foil the sweet sentiment.

I added a few gold sparkle enamel dots to the flower centers for a bit more sparkle!
