Hello crafty friends! I’m Jean, a papercrafter living in the Pacific Northwest blogging at
Right as Rain. I am delighted to share cards combining two of my favorite techniques–diecutting and foiling–to showcase the
Sweet Cardlets Collection by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders.
For all three cards, I’ve used
Black Glimmer Foil, one of my favorite ways to add impact and style to a card.
With the
Sweet Cardlets Collection, you’ll create cards suitable for a multitude of occasions that come together in minutes. The sets contain foil plates and dies that include background, focal image, and sentiments. Please note: I used the
Foil Trimmer to cut the foil for these projects.
The first card features the
Just Bee-cause Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.
- Foil bee image on yellow cardstock in Black Die-cut with the coordinating die.
- Foil sentiment on yellow cardstock in Black foil and cut with die in the Everyday Sentiments II Alternatively cut sentiment strip with the Foil Trimmer using the paper blade.
- Foil honeycomb in Black on Whip Cream Trim panel to 4" x 5 ¼". Add to a Black Licorice A2-size card base.
- Die-cut additional hexagons from yellow cardstock with the set’s dies.
- Adhere hexagons, bee, and sentiment to panel. Add bee with foam adhesive.
