Spellbinders | Hexi-Gems Collection

  PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST
 
Have you had a chance to check out Spellbinders NEW Hexi-Gems Collection that was just added this month?! You can find the release along with all the NEW May Arrivals HERE!

I'm new to hot foiling and in love with this technique. I thought the NEW release would be perfect for an upcoming Wedding card that I needed and thought that I would show you how you can get two cards done using the Reverse Foiling Technique for two different looks and leaving no foil waste.

My first card features the NEW Hexi-Gem Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set and Essential Hexi-Gems Etched Dies.
 
First I took the Hexi-Gem Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, gold foil and a card panel of 100 Ib Hammermill card stock and foiled the image and then took the coordinating die and cut it out. For the sentiment I foiled the Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate with gold foil onto a piece of Hammermill but didn't want white on white so I took the negative piece of foil and the Solid Rectangle Essential Glimmer Plate and with a piece of Hammermill card stock to get the reversed foil sentiment trips. I did trim off the fishtail ends. For texture I used the Dimensional Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and for embellishment I added a few gold sequins.
 
Card Measurements:
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
White Embossed Panel: 4" x 5 1/4"
Gold Hexi: 2 15/16" x 4 7/16"
White Hexi: 2 11/16" x 4 1/16"
Gold Sentiment Strip (trimmed off fishtail ends): 2 1/2" x 3/8"

My second card I used reverse foiling technique with the NEW Hexi-Gem Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set and Solid Circle Essential Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and foiled onto a Hammermill card panel that I trimmed down and matted on top of a Brushed Gold panel. Love that you can get a totally different look with the one piece of foil. For the sentiment I used the  Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate foiled in Gold and added a few gold sequins for embellishment.

Card Measurements:
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
Brushed Gold Mat: 4" x 5 1/4"
White Panel: 3 3/4" x 5"
Gold Foil Focal Point: 3 1/8"
White Sentiment Strip: 3 1/4" x 3/8"
