Dangling Ornaments

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I am sharing a card using  Spellbinders Dangling Ornaments Stamps Zenspired Holidays by Joanne Fink . The sentiment is as beautiful as the angel and definitely makes a very elegant card.

'Zenspired Holidays Collection by Joanne Fink brings her signature creative drawing techniques into the holiday spirit. For fans of Zenspirations, it is an inspiring to a fun-loving array of designs' - Spellbinders

Stamp the three ornaments from the Dangling Ornaments Stamps Zenspired Holidays by Joanne Fink onto white card stock using black ink and then fussy cut/hand cut using scissors.  Next colour using Chameleon Pens. 

The card front has been stamped using the Penny Black Inc. Christmas Story cling stamp and Imagine Delicata Ink in Shimmering silver.  The lower edge of the card front has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinder Bracket Border Dies, both the cutting edge and the patterned Insert.  Place along he lower edge of the card and hold on place using low tack tape - run through the  Platinum 6 Die cutting and Embossing Machine.  Adhere a strip of gold card stock behind the die cut border and pop onto a slightly larger pre-cut red card base using  Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.

Stamp three decorative chains at varying lengths onto the card front using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  Adhere the Dangling Ornaments using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  Add any extra details to the ornaments using Gold and Silver Gel Pens.  Adhere Red Sequins to the card front, along with a few red starts.

Spellbinders Tallulah, Snowflake Snippets

Hello friends, thanks so much for joining me.  My card today is an elegant Christmas Card - I thought it was time I got started on my own cards, I have made many Christmas cards - but they have been for publications - so time for me to put my head down and get creating.

I have cut/embossed the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Tallulah Frill Layering Frame Small Etched Dies Chantilly Paper Lace Collection by Becca Feeken using the  Platinum Die Cutting Machine and Copper card stock.  This has been glued onto a cream pre-cut card base.

The Shapeabilities Snowflake Snippets Holiday 2017 Etched Dies Tiny Flakes Block Four (4) and Medium Flakes Block two (2) have been cut/embossed using gold card stock.  These have been adhered onto cream card stock  as shown above.

The layered Die Cuts have been popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares. Want2Scrap 250 Count - Silver Rhinestones have been adhered to the Snowflake Snippets.  A computer generated sentiment has been popped up onto the centre of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.

It is definitely a case of the Dies doing all of the work on this card - what do you think?!
