Introducing Amazing Paper Grace: Delicate Impressions Collection



We’re excited to introduce another Glimmer Hot Foil collection! The Delicate Impressions Collection has five sets of Glimmer Hot Foil Plates. The fifth set, Heart Melt Sentiments, has four unique phrases with matching dies. The other four sets are designed to create borders and accents that can be used on cards from A2 to 5 x 7-inches. Each elegant motif can be layered with itself or mix with others in the same collection or beyond.


Glimmer Hot Foil Plates are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  Roll the Glimmer machine base through your die cut machine to deliver its beautiful design. Refer to Compatibility Charts on Spellbinders' website, to see if your machine is a match.

 

Our Creative Team members will showcase their creations made with the Delicate Impressions Collection today. For those of you who enjoy watercolors, we are using Jane Davenport Watercolors to highlight our projects. See if you can identify what techniques are being used!

 

Becca Feeken sent over these stunning plates and dies for me to try.

 

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with a Collection.


My take for Today:












 

Here is what the glimmer plates and dies look like:  



My project for Today uses Filigree Crescent Band Glimmer Hot foil plate.

Have used Gold foil on DCWV Luxury stack patterned paper for the card.


For the 3D project, made a Pillow box using the same DCWV paper stack and topped with Elegant twist rectangle diecut and Heartfelt Sentiment Glimmer foil plate as Foiled diecut sentiment.


Designer Tip


Keep the foil as the same size as the foil plate to avoid overfoiling. Apply pressure slowly evenly 

while sending into the die cutting machine. This gives a beautiful even foiling.
