Glimmer Snowflake

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I met with some crafty friends last week and we played with
our Spellbinder's Glimmer Hot Foil Systems.


This was made with my friend Barb's glimmer snowflake plate using gold foil.

The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge this week is a sketch.

I wanted to join in since I won the Santa Challenge last month.

Here's the sketch...

I used a bow for the smaller square.  Hope that's okay.

You can see the shine better here.  (I have trouble photographing foil.)

Hi Bonnie - let's try this again! I got an error code with my first comment!
Your glimmer and shine couldn't be more beautiful! I can tell your Christmas cards are going to be extra blingy this year?
LOve it!

I'm trying not to think about buying a glimmer system but OMG you're tempting me with this gorgeous card ♥

So beautiful - love the shine of the foil and the contrast with the glimmer paper layer!

This is gorgeous, Bonnie. I don’t have the Spellbinders but do love to foil. I LOVE that snowflake, on e of the prettiest ones I’ve seen. This is just beautiful!

I adore this beautiful layered snowflake and pretty bow Bonnie and love the shiny foil for the large snowflake with the smaller die cut glittery one on top which looks so elegant and pretty. x

But a beautiful and elegant card! He loves gold foil stamping. It has such a great glow. I also love the embossed raised pattern along the side of the card. Makes the card complete.

The glimmer is fabulous on this delicate snowflake. I love how you used the sketch with the subtle embossing down the side and the bow in place of the little square. Clever and very pretty!

Absolutely beautiful, Bonnie. Anything shiny is hard to photograph but you made it work and that photo shows off the great embossed detail.

Simply beautiful. That shine is incredible! Great photography work.

Wow Bonnie! This is such a wonderful take on the sketch and an absolute stunner! I haven't tried the hot foil yet. You could be tempting me to have a go! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful card at 52CCT:)

Very elegant and festive card, Bonnie. I like the shine of gold on Christmas cards. Fabulous motive of snowflake. To show a shine on the photo is a special challenge. :-)
Hugs, Sonja

TK said...

Shiny, beautiful and oh so perfect! And I might add that I'm just SLIGHTLY jealous of those who have the glimmer machines ;0)

HilaryJane said...

I do love foiling and this is beautiful such lovely shine xx

TracyB said...

What a wonderful card and a great intrepretation of my sketch over on the 52CCT. And yes it is very hard photographing foil elements on a project. I hope that you will stop on by the 52CCT challenge again sometime.

Fabiola said...

oh Wow Bonnie, elle est splendide, merci de jouer avec nous chez 52cCT, biz

Loll said...

Gorgeous foiled frame and snowflake Bonnie! It's a cool system and looks like it creates a perfect image everytime. Foiling with a laminator is not so consistent. Love the added gold glitter snowflake in the center. xx

Papercraft Boutique said...

What a pretty Christmas card, Bonnie! The gold foiled snowflake is so shiny! Isn’t foiling fun? The layers of the glittery tiny snowflake, the gold foiled snowflake panel, and the gold foil matte are gorgeous!
