 Hi and welcome to another card making video, I am going to play with the February Kit of Foiling by Spellbinders and I am also going to play with the new color Kitch Flamingo by Tim Holtz, I am starting by combining Kitch Flamingo with Spiced Marmalade which is a combination which is absolutely stunning, I inked up both ends of this paper all the way to the middle, I made sure that both ends are nicely saturated with color which is something very easy to do with the oxides, the ink kind of stays at the top and then I am going to blend those two colors together making sure that I don't have a harsh line as you can see I go over that line again and again very lightly and it works just like magic it is a really stunning background and I absolutely love this color combo if you like it as it is you can use it and just stick your focal point on top and your sentiment I decided to go with some water splashes, I leave them for a few seconds to react to the ink and then I'm going to use a paper towel and this is going to lift some of the color for a very interesting background, I'm going to bring in the Spellbinders Foiling Kit of the month and this time it comes with those essential plates these are going to give you a really beautiful design all around and you can use them as a frame or even to frame a little sentiment there are also three sentiments included one is for birthdays the other one is a thank you and there is also the word hello I'm going to use the biggest of those plates and align it on top of my background and I'm also going to combine one of the sentiments I usually send a lot of thank you cards so I'm going to use the thank you sentiment here for my foil I decided to go with gold and you will see that that gold on top of kitsch flamingo is absolutely stunning I'm using my little trimmer by Spellbinders which is very handy when it comes to foiling and this way I can easily measure and not waste any foil at all and since I want to do both the frame as well as the sentiment in one passing I'm going to create a hinge then place the foil underneath and I'm going to also secure the sentiment on top making sure that it is as straight as possible I'm just going to eyeball that and then secure everything down with some washi tape I have my machine warming up I'm going to place that on top of the platform I press the button and waiting for that green light to stop blinking as I am preparing the sandwich and then I'm going to run it through my die cutting machine I always run it a couple of times this will ensure that you have a good contact of the foil and the warm plate and you will have a good impression every time now I'm going to very carefully remove the plates without burning my fingers and you can see the wonderful result this frame is absolutely stunning and is going straight into my essentials because it makes a card look finished and it adds that extra something on the frame also the three sentiments that are included with all those nested frames are essential as well and in between thank you happy birthday and hello you can create a huge variety of cards now if you are a fruger like me with your supplies don't throw away this foil there is plenty of foil in the middle that I haven't used and I can use it on another project now if you notice at the top corner I do have some over foiling I can easily remove that with a sander eraser very lightly making sure that I don't remove any of that inking from the background I don't press my sander eraser I'm just gliding it over the foil and you can see that I can remove that with no issues at all and without removing any inking from the background now at this stage you have a beautiful background with a sentiment and all you have to do is to just stick a focal point on top I decided to go with a flower that I had in my stash and I cut it you can go with any flower stamp or dye that you have at your stash it would look just beautiful that's because I have the pink and orange at the background I decided to go with daisy and mainly staying with white the white flower on top of that background is going to look really stunning and vibrant it's going to have a good contrast and this is something that I will just go with when I am deciding my color combinations on all my die cuts I do add a little bit of movement by using those scalping tools you can do that with your fingers if you don't have something similar and I'm going to assemble my die cut flower by the way this daisy is by Altenew and just like always you will find everything I use down below the description area linked to multiple shops I did stick the center of the flower with foam tape at the back since I have enough dimension and also I have foam tape at the back of my flower I like to have some dimension on my cards and I cannot stay away from that now I'm going to stick the leaves just tuck them underneath the flower and all I have to do then is to stick this panel on top of a pre-folded card that's for on a quarter by five and a half and that was a project for today a card that smells like spring although we are expecting loads of snow on Saturday and as a thank you I'm going to send this card to one of you all you have to do is to just like the video leave me a comment and I will pick a random winner and get in touch with you along with this card you will also get some goodies so I hope that you had fun today and that you got inspired thank you all so much for joining me today and I hope you all have a lovely weekend
