Mini Bow Etched Die from Spellbinders

Hello friends!

I have a darling project to share. this Mini Bow Etched Die is simply lovely. 

Info: Mini Bow Etched Dies is part of the Birthday Celebrations Collection which has a set of three thin metal cutting dies. These dies will help assemble a sweet bow for any birthday projects and more. So versatile and so adorable - who can resist?!

 

 As you can see, I have 6 tiny bows on this card. The reason? It is SO addictive to make this mini bows! If you use thin paper, you can easily die cut two each time at least.

 I used 6 pieces of pattern paper which is a fun way of showing off the paper.

 For the background, I inked up the Hand Drawn Scallops Embossing Folder with various pastel ink and ran it through the diecut machine. 

 

The embellishments and sentiment banners are listed below. I hope you enjoy this happy and cheery birthday design.  Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew June 2022 Fine & Dandy Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes)

 Hello friends!

Welcome to Altenew Fine & Dandy Collection Release Blog Hop !I am super excited to share 4 projects with you.
If you arrive from the blog of Mindy Eggen, you are in the right place!

All the details about this blog hop, please visit Altenew Card Blog 

Feature products #1: Stitched Scalloped Circles Die Set, Charming Foliage Die Set, Metallic Cardstock Sets (Copper) , Mix and Match Frame Die Set

 

 

There are just so much to be loved in this card--florals, scalloped circle lines, dotted border and rectangles. I stenciled a few rectangles in the background with Color Swatch Stencil. BTW, don't let the name (Color Swatch Stencil) fool you, you can do SO much more with that stencil! Sorry I digress...).

 

The Charming Foliage Die Set will compliment all of your designs.  There are a few smaller pieces. However, once I followed the guide, it was easy to assemble.

 

 

I paired two layers for the scalloped circle. As you can see, the Metallic Card Stock Copper is just soooo pretty! If you do not own any metallic cardstock and your budget allows, you should get all of the metallic cardstock!

 

   

 

Feature products #2: Labels & Tags 1 Die Set, Sentimental Florals Stamp Set

 

I have always loved a Label Tag Die. This new Label and Tag Die 1 is absolutely superb! I love that it gives you options of finishing touches. I chose to have a hole on top and added twines as an accent.

 

 

Before die cutting the die, I applied 3 pieces of Red Sunset Thin Washi Tape across and this gives the label die a very polished finished look. 

 

 

 

For the background, I stamped Sentimental Florals Stamp Set. The outlines of these florals makes the design much more interesting.  

 

 

 

I appreciate that you stop by and enjoy the rest of the hop.

Floral Pattern Paper

Hello friends!

Previously, I share two ways of using the Surprise Box Etched Die.

Spellbinders Birthday Celebration

 Featured products:  

Surprised Box Etched Die

The first one was created with geometric pattern paper. 

The 2nd one was done in kraft cardstock. 

 Well, I am back at it again. This time, I made the box with floral pattern paper.

Isn't it lovely?

I picked out the pattern paper and layered it. To make the box more pronounced, I inked up the edges of the box die, this is a good thing to do when it comes to a busy design.

The embellishment pack from the birthday celebration release make it super easy to create.

Use a Leaf Die in Multiple Ways

 Hello friends!

I am sharing a GREEN project with you. This time, I am using Leafy Sprigs Etched Dies.

There are many ways of using leaf dies like this. I started out spraying (Distress Oxide spray) on watercolor paper. Let dry and then die cut. This is the reason why I love buying distress Oxide Sprays. A little spritz of colors and you can die cut any way you like it!

👉👉With the negative die (yes, those negative part--don't throw it away just yet!!), I positioned it in place and started stenciling leaves in the background.

 

You can use shades of colors (such as green) to help define the depth of your background.

Before adhering the leaves onto the card front, I added lots of splatter. Once I positioned the leaves in place, I added sequins.

What do you think? Hope you like this version, Thanks for stopping by!

Any an Element of Surprise!

 Hello friends!

I am back with another Surprise Box Etched Die Project. This time, I used a different element for the box. My previous project showed off the pattern paper.

  Spellbinders Birthday Celebration

 Featured products:  

Surprised Box Etched Die

Birthday Celebrations Printed Die Cuts, 

 Cheerful Occasions 6 x 6-inch Paper Pad, 

Puffy Rainbow Stickers

 

If you shop online, you likely to have a few cardboard boxes around the house. The boxes are quite the occurrence over my house. That is why I thought it is a good idea to use kraft paper for the surprise box.

I added a piece of twines to the tiny tag "yay" and inserted it partially inside the box.

I love the surprise element of the box. That piece of twines also facilitate the motion of "out-flowing"...

  

 Those Faceted Sequins - Bisque Opalescent sequins are part of the June release. The colors are just lovely! Hope you are enjoying the weekend.
