Today I'm sharing a sweet card featuring a few new products from Spellbinders' Sealed For Summer release. The pretty Glimmer Bouquet along with the Glimmer Alphabet make it easy to create a customized card! Check out the details!
First I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System and silver foil with the Glimmer Bouquet hot foil plate. Then I used these Copic markers to color the image: Y11, Y04, Y00, Y32, Y35, V12, V01, V000, YG63, YG61, YG11, YG06. I cut it out with the coordinating die.
After I embossing white cardstock with the Leafy 3D embossing folder, I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼" and adhered it to an A2 card base.
Next I hot foiled the Glimmer Alphabet hot foil plates (there are two that have the entire lower case alphabet) with silver foil. There's a coordinating stencil that I used to ink on some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide ink. I cut the letters out with the coordinating dies.
I die cut two more sets of letters from white cardstock. After I decided on my sentiment I glued the foiled letter to two of the white cardstock letters.
TIP: I used my MISTI sticky mat to align the letters perfectly straight! I stuck them along the top edge with part of the letter hanging off. I found that if I used removable tape to pick them up like I usually would, the tape removes some of the foiling! So by leaving part of the letters off of the sticky mat, I could add my glue there to adhere to the card. Here's a visual for you:
When the glue on the letters dried, I was able to use glue with a fine tip applicator to put some glue on the back of the bottom half of the letters.
I made the white wax seal with one of the wax stampers from the All-Occasion 1 Wax Seal Stamp Set. Then I used a silver pigment pen to color the details of the stamp.
To adhere the wax seal to the card I added glue to a few foam tape squares and then put them onto the back of the seal. When that dried, I was able to remove the foam backing and adhere it to the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful, and crafty, day!

Dear Carol, you so often inspire me to CASE (copy and significantly edit) your designs. Today was one of those. I get so excited when I get an email from you. It's been quite a while since anyone has inspired me as much as you do. I've been a member of the Houston Calligraphy for 40 years and we have Secret Pals for the 3 summer months who we make cards for. Your beautiful card will be one I send to Chelsea this week. Thank you so much for your fabulous ideas.
