Sweet Cardlets II (SCII) Intro Blog Hop

Last October we introduced Cardlets and they are back in Sweet Cardlets II!  A "Cardlet" is a small character motif that comes with a sentiment that fits within a  3 x 3 area and has a matching die.  It just so happens that this size is perfect for the ever-popular Slimline Cards.  Join us in introducing a new slimline as well – Hemstitch Slimline – it will match Hemstitch Rectangles and all of the other Hemstitch Classics. 

 

I am thrilled to partner with Amazing Paper Grace to bring you this little taste of inspiration!

Sweet Cardlets are just like stamps, but they are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  The Glimmer machine base is rolled through your die-cut machine to deliver that pressure. (Compatibility charts on the Spellbinders website).

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets II

Since we are premiering the first Slimline Card Die for the Amazing Paper Grace line of dies, we wanted you to have plenty of sweet elements that fit onto the slimline.  The small motif 3" x 3" footprint makes this easy.  Add to that there is a matching die it makes for a cute pop of dimension on all of your cards – Slimline, A2 or A7.

Always mindful of the budget, Becca wanted to create a collection where each set is all you need to make a little card.  Sweet Cardlets are small motifs with a 3" x 3" footprint.  Sweet Cardlets also fit into the Cascade Card Base and work along with all of the Shadowbox Dies.

As for my project today I have two cards – a cascade one and a slimline one. Sweet Cardlets are just like that: sweet and small cards. I just love the small motifs – very easy to combine and use on cards, i.e. cascade ones. The pot and the cup from Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set are just too cute (GLP-284). I fell in love with the dotted background! It adds such a lovely detail to patterned paper. Now I want to “golden dot” everything!

My second project is a slimline card made using Hemstitch Slimline Dies S6-175 – they imitate hemstich, which is gorgeous. And slimline is all over the place right now! So let me join the trend – but honestly, I do love this shape, so elegant. I addes hot foiled elements to my card as well, like a note “You’re my cup of tea” which comes with Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set GLP-284

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with the Sweet Cardlets II Collection.
