Spellbinders Romantic Roses

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by.  Just when I thought I had finished with the cards created using stickers - I came across another one - now I am pretty sure, ALMOST DEFINITE, this IS THE LAST ONE!!  There are eight in total and I can't believe I am saying this - I really enjoyed using them and won't hesitate to use stickers again - depending on what they are of course!!  I have also use pre-cut and recycled Spellbinders Dies from Workshop Kits and pieces of bling that are left sitting on my desk.  I have really enjoyed the challenge of using them to create pretty and quick cards .

 Pink card stock has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Romantic Rose Etched Dies using pink card stock and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine  to form the card front.  A strip of pink spotted patterned paper had been adhered across the centre of the card front, along with a smaller orange spotted border across the centre of the card front and adhered up onto a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra. 

The sticker is also from my stash and has been adhered to a small die-cut oval, it has been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares, onto the smallest frame from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Romantic Rose Etched Dies using white card stock and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  Want2Scrap Nestabling has been trimmed and adhered at the top of the die cut. oval.   A strip of lace has been glued to the base of the floral sticker and a double orange bow has been glued to the centre and a threaded button glued to the knot of the bow,

Spellbinders Fleur de Mauve

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I have another card to share with you using Stickers, I do have to add I am getting to the end of them - only a few more! I have also used pre-cut and recycled Dies from Workshop Kits and pieces of bling that are left sitting on my desk.  I have really enjoyed the challenge of using them to create pretty and quick cards.  I hope you are inspired to use up your stash as well.  I try and make sure I use up some of the ever growing pile before I cut into more.

The  patterned paper is from Graphic 45. It has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.   Next it has been popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut green card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  

The sticker is one of eight I came across in my stash and has been adhered to a Circle from the Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles SML Etched Dies white card stock and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.   This has been popped up onto another Die Cut I have had in my stash for a long time - The Fleur de Lis, which I believe it is discontinued  - disappointing I know but they are too pretty NOT to use up. Next it has been popped up onto the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Square. 

A double white Seam Binding bow has been glued to the left side of the Fleur de Lis Frame. and a mauve Mulberry Paper Rose has been glued to the knot of the bow.The Sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Elegance Becca Feeken Giving Occasions Stamp and Die Set has been stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black, trimmed and popped up using a 3D Foam Squares at the base of the Fleur De Lis.  Want2Scrap Nestabling has been trimmed and adhered around the Fleur de Lis - Note this is not co-ordinating Nestabling, but works so well - thinking outside the square on this one! Wink:Wink!  Finishing with a row of vintage lace added below the sentiment.
