Spellbinders NEW Essential Solid Oval Glimmer Plate!

 Spellbinders is releasing some new Solid Glimmer Plates in 4 different shapes!  I was thrilled to be sent the Oval one, and I made 2 cards with it.

supplies: white card, Rose Gold Metallic card, Rose Gold Glimmer Foil, Solid Oval glimmer plate, Glimmering Peony glimmer plate, Memory Box sentiment die, MFT Wonky Stitched Rectangle die

To start, I foiled the Peony in Rose Gold on white cardstock, fussy-cut it out, and set the used foil piece aside for use on my 2nd card..  On a fresh panel of white cardstock, I then foiled the solid oval in the same rose gold glimmer foil. 

I trimmed out the foiled oval panel, and attached it to a white card base, then added the foiled fussy-cut peony and a sentiment die cut from metallic cardstock.  Here's a 2nd picture where I tilted the card to get you a better look at the gorgeous glimmer.

My 2nd card uses that left-over piece of foil from the above card along with the new Solid Oval glimmer plate once again.

supplies: white and rose gold metallic card, Solid Oval Glimmer Plate, recycled rose gold foil from 1st card, Hero Arts stamped sentiment, copper embossing powder

To make this card, I put the oval glimmer plate onto my glimmer machine and heated it as usual.  When it was hot, I added the recycled rose gold foil with the peony design on top, pretty side down, along with a panel of white cardstock, and ran it through my Spellbinders machine to transfer the design.  After peeling off the foil and discarding it, I trimmed my panel and placed it over a sheet of rose gold metallic cardstock, then added my embossed stamped sentiment banner.

Here's another picture with the card tilted to show the foiling.

These solid glimmer plates are game-changers; now we can get double-duty out of our foils!  I was pleasantly surprised how well they work - these cards are truly my first plays with this new oval glimmer plate!

Many thanks to Spellbinders for sharing this with me!
