    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.
