Timeless Heart Boarder Edge Card:
Supplies Needed:
Spellbinders Pressed Bouquet Press Plate
Spellbinders Moondust Glimmer Hot Foil
Spellbinders Timeless Hearts Border Etched Dies
Spellbinders New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments Betterpress Plates
Teal Topaz Cardstock strips
A2 top-folding card base
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preparing the Card Base
Let's start with our A2 top-folding card base. For this design, we'll be die-cutting the bottom edge to create a stunning border.
Begin by using the Timeless Hearts Border Etched Dies to outline and cut the bottom edge of both the front and back of the card base. This creates a cohesive and elegant look.
Next, take the detailed Timeless Hearts Border Etched Die and cut a piece from Vellum Cardstock. This adds a delicate, decorative element to your card's edge.
Pro Tip: When die-cutting vellum, use a metal shim to ensure clean cuts without tearing the delicate paper.
Hot Foiling the Card Front
Hot foiling adds such a luxurious touch to any project. For this card, we'll use the Pressed Bouquet Press Plate along with Moondust Glimmer Hot Foil.
Position the Pressed Bouquet Press Plate on your card front.
Use the Moondust Glimmer Hot Foil and your hot foil machine to transfer the design. The Moondust foil has a beautiful shimmer that will make your card sparkle.
Pro Tip: For the best results, make sure your cardstock is smooth and your foil is free from wrinkles before foiling.
Adding the Sentiment
A well-placed sentiment can truly elevate your card design. For this project, we’re using the sentiment "I think you are pretty great" from the New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments Betterpress Plates set.
Use the Betterpress Black Ink Pad to impress the sentiment onto the card front. I positioned mine in the top right corner for a balanced look.
The crisp, clean impression of the Betterpress system ensures your sentiment stands out beautifully against the foiled background.
Finishing Touches
To complete the card, we’ll add some final touches that tie everything together.
Trim the card front down slightly to create a frame effect.
Adhere two strips of Teal Topaz Cardstock along the sides of the card front. This not only frames your design but also adds a pop of color that enhances the overall look.
Attach the detailed vellum die cut that was cut using the Timeless Hearts Border Etched Die Set.
Add a few Prism AB Color Essential Gems to the bottom points of each of the detailed die cuts.
Pro Tip: When adding strips of cardstock, use a strong adhesive to ensure they stay in place, especially if your card will be handled frequently.
