Hello from Scotland, welcome to my blog and to Spellbinders Kits October 2020 Blog Hop.
For today I made a couple of autumnal foiled cards. They were pretty challenging to photograph as there is a lot of reflective and shinny elements so I hope I can give you an idea.
To make them I used:
- Spellbinders Glimmer of the Month – October 2020
- Spellbinders Small Die of the Month– October 2020.
- I also used the beautiful Cooper Hot Foil
- Essential Rectangles Etched dies.
- A new fav for this season Pumpkin Bread Cardstock
First, I foiled the card backgrounds and toppers using glimmer plates from Spellbinders Glimmer of the Month – October 2020.
Next, I die cut the panels using Essential Rectangles Etched dies as these dies will create a beautiful dotty pattern that will frame nicely any scene.
For the card with the Pumpkin Bread Cardstock foiled background, I also use a corner die from the Small Die of the Month-October 2020 out of whote cadstock.
Then, I cut off the frame to create a couple of white branches that I added behind the circular foiled banner.
I’m totally loving this cardstock colour BTW, It is no only perfect for this season but also to create very organic looking compositions.
distress Autumnal wreath
For this card, I applied Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink on white smooth cardstock.
Love the look and feel of these ink colours mixed together.
I first applied the red ink ( Candied Apple) and using a brush I applied green ink over it here and there.
The green ink turned brown when applied to the red-inked panel and the yellow ink turned into a very vibrant orange color.
To add texture and white speckles on the paper, I sprayed the paper with a little bit of water.
Once dry, I die cut all the little leaves using dies from Spellbinders Small Die of the Month-October 2020 and I glued them on a circle frame I die cut using circle dies.
ADDING SHINE AND SPARKLE
When the wreath was fully adhered together, I spray my neglected Antique Gold Mica Mist over.. This looks fab.
For the sentiment ” grateful” I added double-sided tape on a piece of cardstock and I die cut it using a word die in the small die of the month.
Then I removed the protective sheet from the double sided tape and I stuck Cooper Hot Foil on the adhesive.
To finish I added, Fashion Gold Embellishments . These are beautiful to decorate any project.

Love both of these cards. Thank you for the tips on color blending the leaves and foiling over adhesive. As a new card maker, anything I pick up from seasoned makers is priceless!
The foiling, inking and arrangement of the leaves is wonderful. I’ve not done foiling and may have to try it.

Very pretty, very shiney, very elegant. I’ve never heard of mica mist, must look that up. These cards are what my mom would prop up on the mantel and we’d enjoy them again and again until we started to put away fall and decorate for Christmas. Beautiful cards.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards…and for explaining how to color those gorgeous tiny leaves to make the wreath. Wonderful!
Your cards are beautiful! Your leaves are stunning, they really make the cards special along with the foiling!
Luv your beautiful Fall idea cards! Both are quite beautiful! Thanks for sharing your creations and for the inspiration….Suzy Q
Simply stunning! This is a wonderful release!
Beautiful Autumn cards with the foiling.
Bibi your cards are stunning, that wreath took my breath away! I always love what you create, you are truly talented and also such an inspiration. I am so grateful that you share your wonderful creations with us.
Wow!!!! Really Gorgeous cards!!!
Yes, I can see how the gorgeous foiled details can be difficult to photograph, but you did it perfectly! These cards are just exquisite and the foiled leaves combine with autumn colors for a truly memorable design.
Love both cards. I hadn’t thought of using the small die leaves to create a wreath—nice. Using double sided tape to adhere the foil to the lettering gives a sort of earthy look that really works for the second card.
Your cards are so very pretty. I love the wreath of leaves. And the gold on the other One really shines. So cool 🥰
Beautiful!! The Grateful card….wow! I love it. The foiling gives the cards that extra wow factor.
I love the dot border but didn’t see if it said that was foiled or die cut.
Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! I love the foiling.
I love the fall wreath made with the small die kit. The leaves are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards.
Love the rich colors on the leaves!
