If you’d like to follow my crafty projects, my blog is jungahsang.wordpress.com.

    February 5, 2020 / 3 Comments

    Hi from Scotland, I hope you are doing well. This is Bibi Cameron and today I’m sharing three simple card ideas using Foiled Basics Collection designed by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. Yana is not only a very talented and skilled papercraft artist and I’m thankful for her as she introduced me to the word of glimmer! This was a whole brand new thing to me and the first time I used the hot foil system I glimmered everything except the cardstock lol. I guess I was impatient and distracted. Soon I realized that this is way easier than we might with just a bit of practice you will be able…

    Hello, crafty friends! Its Marie here again from Marie Nicole Designs. I had the pleasure of creating with the new Foil Basics Glimmer plates and I have two cards to show you today! These Glimmer plates are full of lovely foliage and scripty fonts. Perfect for building a foiled wreath and adding the perfect sentiment to your cards. For my first card today, I filled a little envelope with the foliage pieces that I foiled and die cut with these new glimmer plates.
