I am popping in with a card to share using....yes you guessed it - Spellbinders Dies - how do you like this Christmas Tree - gorgeous isn't it!
The photo is not as good as I would have liked it to be, but you can get the idea. This card is one of two that I will be teaching at my next Card Design Class next week.
I have used the Spellbinders Holiday Tree Shapeabililties. I have cut out the tree using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur, firstly gluing an old book page to some card, in this case a recycled cereal box, this gives a thicker tree. I inserted wax paper into the Die, wax side down so it is easier to get the Die Cut card out of the Die, especially when it is so beautifully filigree.
The background card has been embossed with the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities. Finishing off with some pleated vintage paper and Want2Scrap bling. I decided now to overload the card as the gorgeous Tree is a feature on it's own.
This card is for the following challenges:
Stamp with Fun - Bling
Simon Says Stamp and Show... - Anything Goes
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes
Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Monochromatic Christmas
Bearly Mine - Anything Goes
Waste Not Wednesday - always "use your forgotten stuff"
Paper Shelter Challenge - Anything goes
Little Red Wagon - Upcycle
