Zinnia and Hot Foil

Hello and Happy Friday!

I’m delighted that you stopped by!

If you’ve been here before you know that I love products by Lisa Horton Crafts and Spellbinders  (among others) and I incorporate their products a lot.

Well again today I’m using products from both of these companies together.  With them it is so easy to create an elegant card, and of course that’s right up my alley.

Even better, Lisa Horton Crafts and Spellbinders Paper Arts have partnered and released the Spotlight Frames and Florals collection.  (Check out the video at the end of my post for more information.)

While I wait for my order to arrive, today’s card features the Zinnia embossing folder and stencil by Lisa Horton Crafts and the Spellbinders Plaid Tidings Background hot foil plate.

Here’s the card I created:

Elegance Made Easy

Here are the directions to create this A2 sized card.

Cut a panel of white card stock to 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and foil using the Plaid Tidings Background hot foil plate by Spellbinders and your foil of choice.  I used Blush.  Add the foiled panel to A2 card base made with heavy white card stock.  (If you’ve never used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System check out my video below.)

Use the Zinnia stencils by Lisa Horton crafts and your choice of inks to color a Zinnia.  Die cut the inked flower using the die that comes with the coordinating Zinnia embossing folder and emboss the die cut with the embossing folder.

Add embossed floral to the card front.

Adhere a foiled sentiment of your choice to coordinate.

Finish by adding a small bow to the floral stem.

So easy – right?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
