Press Plates from many different companies can be used several ways as I show in this card I made for my newest video here. Most of my cards in the new video feature a gorgeous press plate from Hero Arts called Snowy Night. The subtle embossed sides of this card were simply made by running silver mirror card through my Spellbinders Press Plate system without any ink. The front snowy scene was pressed with Lisa Horton's Regal Grey Shimmer Interference ink so it changes from purple to silver/grey depending on the angle it is held and the paper used. Here is a look at this book binding z fold card open:
This is the version of the book binding z fold I made in the video. I show how to use the Solid Hot Foil Plate from Pinkfresh Studios to not waste any of the gorgeous foil after running it through the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System once. A second time or second generation foiling gives us the look as shown in the strips on the side. Here is a look from the top showing this unique fun fold I show how to make in the new video:
I share a template for a 5 x 5 1/2 size that will fit into a 5 x 7 envelope so that it can be mailed for just one stamp as well as a larger square size and this smaller size below which I learned from Frenchie:
This card was made with the 2nd generation foiling of Altenew's Gilded Marble press plate and a rainbow hot foil. No wasted foil and gorgeous marbling after using the Pinkfresh Studio's Solid Hot Foil plate! Here are a couple more cards I made with the positive and negative looks of the snowy scene:
The Copperplate Warm Wishes with lovely calligraphy that I used on several of my cards is a press plate from Spellbinders, and I share a very helpful tip in the video on how to get perfect placement on cardstock with smaller press plates so be sure to check that out as well as all the ways to get so many looks from press plates.
