Hot Foiling the Be Bold Color Block Collection

Hello! I’ve got two cards to share with you made using the new Be Bold Color Block Collection. What a fun collection with so many ways to use them creatively!

I decided not to add any embellishments since there was so much shiny hot foil there already. If you don’t do hot foiling (though I highly recommend it), you could use stamps instead. For the Christmas card, you could foil the cardstock first and then die cut but I wasn’t sure what I was doing when I cut it ahead of time. Make sure your glimmer plates are facing the right way before foiling. Don’t foil the hearts upside down!

1. Die cut the Be Bold Color Block Merry Christmas Etched Dies twice from Neenah Solar White cardstock. You’ll only need the letters. Put one set aside for later.

2. Adhere the letters C H R I S to a piece of printer paper with temporary adhesive.

3. Place the String Lights Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Red Glimmer Hot Foil Roll over the letter and hot foil.

4. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with T M A S.

5. Adhere the two sets of letters together.

6. Adhere letters to a Hero Hues Cranberry slimline panel and place on a slimline card base.

7. Die cut “merry” four times from Midnight Green cardstock, adhere together and place in center of card.

1. Die cut Be Bold Color Block Love You Etched Dies once from Neenah Solar White cardstock and once from Hero Hues Azalea cardstock. Save all the pieces from the pink except the letters. The white letters will be inlaid.

2. Lay the Scattered Hearts Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Red Glimmer Hot Foil Roll over the first letter and hot foil. Repeat for all letters.

3. Blend on Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink heavier at the bottom, fading to white at the top.

4. Add letters to an A2 card base with Bearly Arts Precision Glue. I placed the card in the corner of my stamp positioner to help line things up.

5. Once the letters are in place add the pink pieces around the them.

6. Die cut “you” four times from Pitch Black cardstock, adhere together and add to card.

Adding hot foil to these letters was a lot of fun and quite easy. I honestly didn’t know if it was going to work out when I started.
