Spellbinders 'A Better Late Than Never' - Tutorial

Hello friends, welcome and thanks for stopping by.  I am sharing a tutorial I did for Spellbinders some time ago - a number of years infact, but with changes to the Blog and all that happens it 'fell between the cracks' and although some of the dies are no longer available I thought it was worth sharing for the inspiration alone - you may even have these dies - if not, you will have something that will work just as well.  It certainly shows how timeless Spellbinders Dies are.

 I do love to layer the different Dies and "mixing it up." But I also love how effective it is to create beautiful details using one of the basic Labels and the Decorative Elements set that coordinates with it. Let me show you how!

Instructions:

1. Cut two (2) Labels Forty Nine Die #6 and one (1) Die #4 (the smallest sized die is #1) using white card stock and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.

2. Score one of the Labels Forty Nine Die Cut #6 (#1 being the smallest) at ½" and fold forward.

3. Place adhesive in the scored area with double sided tape and with the other Labels Forty Nine Die Cut #6, align together to create one shape. Press the adhered area to secure.

4. Cut/emboss one (1) each of Labels 49 Decorative Elements Die #3 and #2 (#1 being the smallest) in Captivating Coral.

5. Adhere the smaller Dies to the larger ones using 3D Foam Squares

6. Thread the ribbon through the holes and behind the Chipboard Tag, securing at the back with double sided tape.

7. Attach to the centre of the layered card base using double sided tape.

8. Cut/emboss one (1) Bitty Blossoms Flower Med Die using white card stock.

9. Sponge the outer edges using Petal Pink Ink and a sponge dauber.

10 Use the Stylus to shape the petals, roll Bitty Blossom die cut and secure at the base using liquid glue.

11 Cut two (2) each of the Create a Rose Leaf SM and Leaf LG with green card stock.

 NOTE: Stencil through the die by sponging with Bamboo Leaves Ink before removing card stock from the die.

12 Adhere the leaves under the rose using liquid glue.

13 Add White Pearls to each corner of the layered card.
