Introducing Royal Flourish | Card and Box Ensembles

Glimmeristas, I hope you are ready for more Glimmer Fun!!!  We have a new mini collection we are introducing today called Royal Flourish. With two card fronts as well as an oval border shape and square border shape - we'll have some stash-worthy things for you to look at. We thought it would be fun to make a card and a matching box using some of our favorite die sets and the new Royal Flourish Glimmer Plates. It's easy to do and is a show stopper when we need to give a gift.  

Inspiration for Royal Flourish

Have you ever noticed during period dramas like Game of Thrones that the Royalty each have their own insignia and way of writing? It's so cool and really fascinating that these things mattered to them.  There was actually a lot of thought and flair behind the written word.   It’s really no different today; we all have our own flourishes of style that we lay down to call things our own.  It was this spirit of honing a style that Becca said provided the inspiration for Royal Flourish.  Glimmer is such a lovely way to add rich detail and embellishment!

 

We've been especially loving using borders with glimmer.  For this collection, Becca created two border sets that you can cut with Hemstitch Squares and Hemstitch Ovals.  Card fronts that can take a sentiment seem to be the favorite, so happily there are two details plates that will make lovely frames to your favorite sentiments.

My Project For Today: 

I'm happy to introduce Spellbinders GLP-126 - Glass Frame Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.

Today I am sharing a wedding day card and a box that I decorated with Glass Frame plate using holographic foil.

I fussy cut the frame and I used Spellbinders S4-948 - Christmas Boughs frame under my plate. Flowers on my projects are Spellbinders S4-867 - Cinch and Go Flowers III.

The hot foil I used is from Spellbinders GLF-012 - Metallic and Holographic variety pack.

Availability:

These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–>HERE

Happy Birthday Card

Today I would like to share an easel style birthday card. I created my card using Spellbinders S4-991 - Brillante Rondelle.

Dzisiaj chaiabym pokazać kartkę urodzinową. Karkę zrobiłam z wykrojników z zestawu Spellbinders S4-991 - Brillante Rondelle.

When I was creating a base for a card front I used folded in a half  cardstock. I die cut the circle first and the I inlaid the round pattern separately on each side of the fold (outside and inside).

Przy wycinaniu bazy pod przód kartki najpierw wycięłam okręg (w złożonym na połowę kartonie) a potem wycięłam ozdobny okrąg (Pattern) najpierw na przodzie a potem wewnątrz bazy.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Dziękuję bardzo za odwiedziny.
