I really love this hop, the products are fantastic! Everyone loves this real color, I think I've fought it, but it's just so gorgeous! Lol I kept thinking that the tulips were peonies! Lol Really nice techniques and super creations Sandi! 😍💕

[@SandiMacIver]

thanks so much Freida

[@marthafeigel5384]

I just love your cards ! They are beautiful!

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you Martha

[@pattyeifert4355]

Stunning card! The background is beautiful but I haven't jumped on the foiling wagon yet. Had to laugh when you talked up how very stuck the dies were to the packaging! Sometimes I worried some of the little dies would get bent when I was tryin to pull them off lol! I do also LOVE the keyhole or arrow they provide on their layering dies so that they are so easy to know exactly where/how each layer goes.

[@SandiMacIver]

I know right? that tape is crazy sticky and I have bent dies getting them off of there. The keyhole system is genius as far as I'm concerned, such a little thing, but with HUGE benefits

[@blt1306]

great large blooms! nice cards!

[@SandiMacIver]

thanks so much

[@sandraallman2914]

Absolutely stunning card, a real work of art. Now the powder you used are they like colour burst powders I always end up with a hot mess. Thank you Sandi for sharing.

[@SandiMacIver]

Hi Sandra, yes, they are very similar to colour burst, just a couple of different companies

[@laurynecunningham900]

Your cards are beautiful! I love how you used the Lindy's powders to color the card stock for the flowers! The flowers really pop!

[@josimceachern]

Nicely done! Never seen the powder medium before. Very cool

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you Josi, the powders are so fun to play with

[@loraknudsen6792]

I really love your cards. I have never used those powder before. I wasn't sure how it worked. Thanks for showing us how. Now I can get some and try it. I'm loving this Hop; I am getting so many ideas for my own cards.

[@SandiMacIver]

Thank you Lora, and yes the powders are super fun to play with you will love them

[@CatlenCreations]

Beautiful card Sandi - love the teal against the black background!

Nice

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you Candice

[@grannyz6939]

Your cards are just stunning. I have a love/hate relationship with my glimmer hot foiling machine and it's mostly hate...lol. My machine base is so hard to remove that even though I tape things down I still end up with over foil, skipped foil, etc. I have so many glimmer plates but I don't use them as never have much success with any of them. I have a couple press plates I bought when seeing how beautifully they seem to work in the Glimmer machine so I guess I best give them a try...yours came out just beautiful. I also have several bottles of Nuvo shimmer powders that I keep wondering why I bought them and what I am to do with them...now I know. Duh. Hard being old these days. lmao Thank you for sharing your creativity...helps to get me out of my box as I am on the older side at 75.

[@SandiMacIver]

haha, I hear you about getting old, I'm 67 and things are just not what they used to be. with your Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, lift the handle up very gently about 1/2 inch, and then pull it out. Same with putting it back in, it needs to go in and out on a slight angle to release the pins. And, now you can go and play with your Shimmer powders, LOL. Have fun with them, they are very magical

[@000shades]

Beautiful!

[@SandiMacIver]

thank you
