Happy Monday, crafty friends! I hope your weekend was wonderful. We spent a long weekend exploring the north shore of Lake Superior, and it was a perfectly peaceful start to 2025. I had no idea about the sheer size of this lake, and how it basically looks like the ocean! I'm so thrilled that we had made it a point to visit Duluth before moving home to Montana this year.
I wanted to pop in to share a handmade card that beautifully combines the delicate artistry of foiling with the rich, vibrant hues of ink blending. The star of today’s creation is none other than the exquisite Glimmering Peonies collection from Spellbinders! I love that these flowers are the star of the show, and even better—they have coordinating stencils for blending color into them!

Here are instructions on how to create today's card:
- Cut & fold A2 card base from Teal Topaz cardstock.
- Hot foil the Glimmering Peonies plate in Champagne foil to white cardstock.
- Hot foil the main sentiment in Satin Gold and the secondary sentiment in Opaque Black to white cardstock.
- Use the stencil set to ink blend the foiled panel in the following colors:
Stencil 1: Peony, Candy Violet, Aquamarine
Stencil 2: Cherry Blossom, Soft Lilac
Stencil 3: Cherry Blossom, Aquamarine
Stencil 4: Mermaid Cove. Marigold
Stencil 5: Mermaid Cove
- Diecut the main sentiment with the coordinating die, and trim the secondary sentiment into a thin strip.
- Diecut the floral panel with the largest shaped die.
- Diecut a matching frame from gold pearl cardstock.
- Adhere the floral background to the card front, then mount the gold pearl frame over top with foam adhesive.
- Attach the main sentiment to the front with foam adhesive, then adhere the secondary sentiment strip just below it.
- Accent the with Twilight ombre glitter drops to finish.
Creating with the Glimmering Peonies collection allows for endless possibilities. The blend of foiling and ink techniques results in a piece that’s not only visually appealing but also emotionally resonant. With a heartfelt sentiment, "Thank you for being my rock, my confidant, and my best friend," it’s perfect for expressing your deepest gratitude to someone special. I hope this project inspires you to try out these techniques and personalize them to fit your style.
Happy crafting!
