Spellbinders Be Merry Tutorial

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I am sharing a tutorial for Spellbinders using one of the new Holiday Die D-Lites - what is not to love about these adorable Reindeer.  I have also used a number of other dies as you will see when you follow along with the tutorial below.

'Die D-Lites Reindeer Etched Dies 2018 Holiday is a set of six includes everything you need to create your own kind of reindeer fun.' - Spellbinders

1. Cut/emboss three (3) each of the Reindeer face, Reindeer Ears, Nose, Antlers, Holly and Berries using Kraft card stock and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine to make 3 Reindeer.

2. Colour the pieces as desired using Chameleon Pens, making each Reindeer slightly different - making sure there is one red nose (for Rudolph)

3. Glue together as shown in the photos above.

3. Cut/emboss one Wreath Etched Die using White card stock.  

4. Colour using two shades of brown,

5. Cut/emboss one bow from the Wreath Etched Die using patterned paper,  lightly sand using a Sanding Block.  Trim the long ends off using sharp scissors, as shown above.

7. Cut/emboss one Hemstitch Square using both of the largest Dies and patterned paper.
