Glimmer Hot Foil Release. Blog Hop + Giveaway (Now Closed)
We are happy you are joining us for our Glimmer Hot Foil Release Blog Hop! As always, we are thrilled to show you our new products, share inspiration and of course host a giveaway! Take a few minutes to browse the new Glimmer Hot Foil products we have in the store for you!
We have our creative designer, Yana Smakula, sharing a video tutorial with us today showing how to use Glimmer Hot Foil Plates together with Etched Dies. We hope you’ll love it!
Happy Holidays Card
Did you know you can add hot foiled effects to your handmade projects using not just Glimmer Hot Foil plates but also your thin etched dies?
I picked a beautiful modern Happy Holiday hot foil plate and also a deer die from our Holiday Greetings November Small Die of the Month Club to create this project today. I was able to foil both in Gold with a single pass through the machine by adding one extra shim to my sandwich.
Be sure to watch video tutorial below or on our YouTube channel to learn how you can create this project.
Once my foiling was done I used a pencil eraser and removed over foiling that I had in several places. I also Gold heat embossed an additional sentiment under the Happy Holidays to spice this card up.
The deer die I used to foil with today also comes with a separate antlers die and a bow die so I die-cut both out of gold cardstock and adhered onto my panel. Finally, I adhered the panel onto an A2 white side folding card base and rounded the corners.

Gorgeous cards–love these foiled cards and need to think about getting the machine.
Pammy Christine
Awesome Glimmer Plate. Never knew that this was available. You definitely are able to explain the system well. So seamless. No problems, I noticed, with the foil curling up. Is it maybe because the plate is warm? I agree very nice effect on the cardstock. Enjoyable for the recipient.

Maybe Santa has one of these for me! It does look amazing and would be useful for many types of cards. The cards are beautiful. Thanks for a chance to win.

I bought the Spellbinders Platinum Die Cut machine this summer (my first ever Die Cut machine) and had been contemplating what method to use for foiling. I got so excited when I heard the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil system was coming out (what can be better than both machines from Spellbinders!). This machine went straight to the top of my Christmas ‘wish list’ that day, now here’s hoping Santa reads my updated list lol. Beautiful cards as always Yana, I do love foiling! (mardy14@bellsouth.net)
Victoria Milam
Another home run by Spellbinders!

I am so grateful that Spellbinders has introduced a foil machine because your embosses as well as foils!!!! LOVE SPELLBINDERS!!!!
SherrillWillis
I love my Glimmer machine! I’m having so much fun figuring out which of my own dies will work (so far, all my Spellbinders work!! Sizzix, that’s touch and go), and I hope there will be even more Glimmer plates with a shadow die, that’s the only downside I see, especially with the fancy Christmas plates (which are Beautiful!!).
Paula S
Looks like so much fun!! Foils make everything look elegant. Fingers crossed ??
Wendy Joore
Super beautiful cards. The real wauw effect!!!
