    Reverse Foiling with Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes and Jung AhSang

    April 16, 2022 / 3 Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung AhSang here, and I am so excited to be returning for another guest post on the Spellbinders blog.  If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com, and my Instagram is @junglebarrya. Today, I’m working with the Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes. I absolutely love the Glimmer Hot Foil system, and I always wanted to utilize the leftover foil from my projects. These glimmer solid shapes allow you to take advantage of that leftover foil.  There are 4 shapes: rectangle, square, oval, and circle. Reverse Diagonal Glimmer Stripes For my first card, I used the Essential Glimmer Solid Rectangle. I also used the…

    Reverse Foiling Ideas with Michelle Short and Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection

    April 13, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hello there, Michelle Short here with some inspiration using the new Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes Collection. This is such a fun collection as you get to use up all of your scraps after foiling. There are so many different designs that work with reverse foiling. I love that these are shapes, but you can also cut your own shapes too! I have used the circle, rectangle (in a slightly different way!), and square today but there is also an oval. I found that I got great results by heating up the Glimmer Hot Foil System platform twice and also using the hinge method for foiling – by taping down the…

    Utilizing Leftover Foil with Essential Glimmer Solid Shapes & Annie Williams

    April 11, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Hello again this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog 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. Leftover Leaf Design 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…
