Spellbinders Summer Sneak Peek and Giveaway


Well how seriously exciting is this!  Today I am so honoured to be part of Spellbinders® Summer Sneak Peek and Giveaway sharing with you today's projects along with Linda Lucas.  I created two projects with the the new Glass Effects and Conversation bubble 4 die sets.

These die sets are seriously so much fun and so so versatile!  I hope you find that as you get your hot little hands on them as I did!  I am going to show you a number of different ways I have used them today (I have so many more!  But we'll wait for another blog post for that)

Given the strong trendy and modern feel these dies I really wanted to create something with that feel.  The die is really strongly suited to cards as such a fantastic background as you can see above, but I wanted to show you just how lovely it can be on a layout as well!

A little more inspiration...

So I have already shown you 2 ways that the new Glass effects Die can be used, and here is a third along with another couple of uses for the conversation bubble 4!  Don't you thing that clouds make the cutest ice-creams!  I do, and I especially love this one with the stitching, and conversation pointer looking as though the ice-cream is dripping down the cone.

I SCREAM - YOU SCREAM - 
WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE-CREAM!!

Now for for a little tutorial to help you create your own!

TUTORIAL:

Create a card base from white cardstock folded in half to 6 x 7"

Cut/emboss using the Spellbinders Grand Callibur machine the 5 x 7 Matting Basics B #7 Die from some pattern paper, and layer onto the card base


Next, using the frame of the Glass effects die set, cut/emboss with some contrasting pattern paper add some twine with a bow and and layer onto the above cardstock as pictured.



To create the cone, simply EMBOSS only the glass effects die with some Kraft cardstock then cut it as big as you wish with some scissors.  Add this to the cards as pictured with some foam squares underneath


Cut/emboss the larger conversation bubble from pink cardstock and embellish with some enamel dots, and layer this with some additional foam onto the Ice-cream cone


Cut/emboss the smaller of the conversation bubbles from white cardstock and using the Spellbinders Tool'n One, poke out the stitching de-bossed areas


FLIP OVER the white conversation bubble and use it to trace the shape onto some pink cardstock.  Cut this shape out slightly larger than the line using it as a guide
Layer the white and pink Conversation bubbles and add your stamped sentiment and add this to your card with some foam squares.
