SpellbindersGlimmer Hot Foil Plate-Elegant Occasion Sentiments, Metal, Multi, Largest 8.8 x 5.1 cm

I recently purchased a hot foil plate that runs through my big shot. Never seen one before. Never done this before. First attempt with a normal thinlit die did not work. (Although the online tutorial said it would! Maybe it was the die I used) So I found these. Look like dies, but are solid, not hollow, like a normal die. They work brilliantly! Very first go. Perfect words on card! Look beautiful and professional and it’s so easy! I paid under £40 for my foil heating pad, and the seller kindly sent me some foils for free as I’ve never done it before. These dies are cheap in price(for what you get), but very well made. The other lovely thing, is they DO come with a die ‘surround’ that means you can foil your sentiment, then cut it out! So you can make 3D sentiments, not just stamping it straight onto the card if you choose not too. They can also be used just to emboss, which they do beautifully. (I found that out because I’d put my card in but left it folded! So it embossed it too on the inside!) I paid £13 plus £5 postage. Give or take a few pennies. And you get five sentiments with their matching surround die. You get; Happy Birthday, Thankyou, Congratulations, Happy Anniversary and With sympathy. So a good rounded set for every occasion. The perfect beginners kit. I highly recommend these. And will vouch for the fact they work with my bigshot with a different foil machine than the spellbinder one. I needed the hot foil platform, stamp chosen (face up), foil(face down), card (face down the side I wanted to stamp on) One die cutting plate/pad, thick card shim and a thin card shim, in that order for my result. Note only ONE cutting plate/pad. The hot foil platform is kind of like the basic thick platform that comes with your bigshot, in thickness and is quite long, although not as long as an extended platform. But not all of it is the ‘hot plate’ so I only needed a standard size cutting pad. I highly recommend these. And I felt so proud of my efforts!

These dies are a very useful addition to my collection. you can hot foil straight onto your card to cut with the additional die

Excellent value. Excellent quality and excellent service. Highly recommended.

I have not used these yet but they look lovely.

The hot foil dies are good quality and work beautifully, giving a sharpe crisp edge to the foilling. Very pleased with the product and would not hestitate buying another product from them.

Just what I wanted especially being able to cut out as well

Fantastic

Eady to use... looks great.
