Snow Notes Card #2

Recently received my order from Spellbinders and in that order was the new BetterPress plate "Snowfall Shimmer". I had also ordered the Spellbinders "The Snow Notes" die set. For this card I did not want a lot of different colours on it so I basically only used three -- here is the card:

For the card base I used white card stock and I cut and scored that at the top. I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine and their opaque white foil to foil the BetterPress Snowfall Shimmer plate. This opaque white foil is a matte finish and it gives the background piece a dimensional look:

I cut the snowmen out using the Spellbinders The Snow Notes die set. Used scraps for the black mouth, buttons, orange for the nose, brown for the hands/arms, and the mint green for the scarves. A light blue scrap was used for the books. I assembled the sentiment strip "Fa La La" from the mint green over a banner piece I cut out of white card stock using liquid glue. Assembled all snowmen. 

The two snowmen on the sides are on the card front using tear and tape. The center snowman I used foam tape behind him for dimension. I also used the foam tape behind his book. This photo shows that better:

This card is non traditional colours for the holidays but it really shows off the foiled snowflakes using the opaque foil. 

While I was foiling the Snowfall Shimmer BetterPress plate I decided to use different foils and different card stocks so I have extras for future projects:

For the above foiled pieces I used opaque white foil, plain foil, holographic foil and they all foiled perfectly with no over foiling. When I had ordered that opaque foil awhile back I was not sure how it would look but when I foiled this new Better Press plate I wanted to try all the foils I have in the stash and I wanted to use a lot of different coloured card stocks. These are all from the stash, with many different manufacturers, so they are not all Hammermill and they still foiled beautifully. Happy to have so many pieces ready for projects ahead! LOVE this press plate and the new Snow Notes die set that Spellbinders has released for new holiday projects!
