A Dark Snowy Night

 

Hello

welcome to my little crafting place! 

It's Spellbinders Club time again, and as it's July it must be Christmas!

For years and years, sometime around the end of September,  I'd start to *think* about Christmas. Then I'd have a little panic as I had no idea what to do for my festive greetings cards!  
So after harrumphing a bit about the whole Christmas in July thing, now I realise it's not such a bad idea for me to do a few seasonal things, plant the Festive Seeds and let ideas germinate in the back of my mind for a while longer!

The snowflake Glimmer of the Month plate is so beautiful - and perfect for quick, simple and stylish cards. You don't really need to add much at all to this design to have some beautiful cards made in double quick time.  And that has to be a good thing!

This one is super-simple, as I foiled the plate directly onto my black card blank!

You don't even need to add a shim as the back of the card provides that.  I Used the silver foil that comes in the club kit and it looks fabulous on black.

 

You need to be careful about getting the allignment of the plate along the fold line. I line up the plate with the fold and fix it in place with strips of washi tape that make a kind of hinge that goes to the back of the card.  This means you can now lift the plate to add the foil between plate and card.

I also foiled one of the snowy sentiments from the Glimmer set onto black card and matted onto a scrap of silver card

To finish I just added a few silver gems in different sizes
