Spellbinders Happy 21st Tutorial

Hello friends - welcome and thanks so much for visiting.  Today I am excited to be sharing a tutorial for Spellbinders using Dies from the Amazing Paper Grace® Collection, including the newly released - Shadowbox Collection! How beautiful are these Dies - and not as hard as they look to assemble - which is great don't you think!  I have combined three different sets of Dies from the Collection and wanted to show you how versatile they are - as you will see as you follow along.

'Shadowbox Collection by Becca Feeken is a series of etched dies that help create beautiful shadow boxes and beyond. It has it all, from adjustable shadow boxes to layered scenery to accent embellishment, that will help make wonderful creations. These sets can be used alone, within the collection and some match with her 3D Card etched die sets in the 3D Vignette Collection.'- Spellbinders
