Spellbinders | Feather Card + Gift Card Holder

Hello there, today I have a card and gift card holder to share using some products from the Spellbinders Collaged Birds Collection by Dina Wakley. I have a soft spot for feathers, so I couldn't resist having a play with them! I am also using the new Mini Wax Seal Collection, which is out today. These wax seals are really cute and as the name suggests, they are really mini!

I started off by hot foiling the feathers from the Spellbinders Feather Dream BetterPress Plates & Die Set. I hot foiled the largest size and the medium size (twice) onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil and the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System. 

They were die cut out using the coordinating dies. I then took the Spellbinders Scribbled Letter Embossing Folder and embossed the card panel (4.25" x 5.5" size) and the panel for the gift card holder (3" x 4.25"). I placed them in my splat box to add some splatter using the Pearl Silver paint from the Spellbinders + Yasutomo Watercolor Mixing Set on top. 

Once the card panel was dry, it was adhered to a black US A2 sized card base using tape runner. The gift card panel was adhered to a (3" x 4.25") black card base. The feathers were then adhered on top using black thin foam tape, with the excess cut off the bottom of the gift card holder using scissors. 

I took the Spellbinders Holding Your Heart Sentiments BetterPress Plates & Die Set and foiled them onto more black cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Hot Foil. They were die cut out using the coordinating dies and adhered to the cards using more black thin foam tape. 

For the wax seals, I placed Spellbinders Purple Must-Have Wax Bead Mix beads into the spoon and heated them up using the wax warmer from the Spellbinders Wax Seal Starter Kit. I used 3 wax beads per each wax seal as I find that having more in the spoon gives me a better pour. If I am not making any more wax seals, I pour the extra on my mat, let it dry and then I can re-melt that at a later date. 

I used the Spellbinders Puffy Heart Mini 3D Wax Seal for the card with Twilight Purple beads and the Spellbinders Butterfly Mini 3D Wax Seal with Enchanted beads (with Twilight Purple still in the spoon) for the gift card holder. 

They were adhered using thin foam tape where it overlapped the card and tape runner where it overlapped the feathers. I added black pen to the heart using the Altenew Essential Permanent Markers Set to help it pop more. 

I added a Spellbinders Adhesive Gift Card Pocket inside the gift card holder. These are really cool because you can just stick them onto/inside projects and the gift card fits in nicely and removes easily too. 

To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Prism AB Color Essentials Gems on both the card and gift card holder.

I really love how the silver foiling looks against the black cardstock but I think they would look great in lots of different colours as well. Thank you so much for your visit today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
