    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…

    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…

    Hi there, this is Annie Williams and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share a couple of projects using the new Slimline Collection from Spellbinders.  The gorgeous slimline background patterns, pretty floral accents, and big and bold sentiments inspired me to create four bright springtime cards for various occasions.
