Spellbinders Paper Roses Tutorial

Hello Spellbinders fans, I am sharing a Step by Step Tutorial on the Spellbinders Blog using some of my favourite Dies - it makes it so-o-o easy.  I have been a little time challenged lately with some BIG Spellbinders Workshops happening and others to prepare for - not to mention our darling new grandson - who at 11 weeks is nothing but adorable and my biggest distraction! LOL!  

Needless to say my creative time has been a little less but I can't resist my Spellbinders Dies for too long - and today I am sharing a pretty card that is so simple to create and still very elegant - you have to love that don't you - lets face it - we all have 'real life' moments that take us away from our Studios/Craft Rooms....
