Just A Note: I Care Hot Foiling and Stencils

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!
