Day 1 of Spellbinders Show and Tell!

Good Afternoon Crafters

Well!  what a fantastic day we had yesterday when we went to the Strictly Come Dancing Show at Birmingham.  It was an amazing show and sooooo pleased that Kate treated us to the tickets.  For everyone that have tickets you will really enjoy it.

As promised this is Day 1 of the Spellbinders show and tell and I have 2 samples that I have demonstrated on Create and Craft over the last week.  As you know these were the World Launch dies and are not available in the UK yet but keep your eyes open for them.

This card has been made using 3 of the dies - Enchanted Lables 28, Matting Basics B and the Framed tags.
This is such a straight forward card and is achieved very easily by just cutting out the dies and layering them up.  This was one of my favourite sets as it is so ornate.  I have embellished the design with the Cosmic Shimmer PVA Pearl glue and added some flowers using a Marianne punch.

Again this was a really straight forward and the dies do all the work.  For this card I have used the Stately Circles as the centre piece with the Butterfly die in layers on the top of this set.  I have also used a Special Touch mask - Butterfly Frame as a background - it went so well with the die.  I have inked over the mask with Dusty Concorde and popped some PVA Pearl glue in the centres of the flowers.

I hope that you have enjoyed having a peep at these and hope that you can pop back tomorrow to see a couple more.  I have just had a call from C and C asking me to cover for demonstrators that cant get into the studio because of the snow so I am going to be on at 10am, 2pm and 5pm tomorrow!
Hope that you all keep warm and safe,
Thankyou, as always, for popping by

  15. Glad I logged on now as I see you are on in a few moments so must be quick. I enjoyed all your demos and it is lovely to have such a reference to look back on with such nice cards. I sort of have my dies, I had two of one die and one was missing so as you can imagine I was not very happy as I had to phone C & C up then had the bother of getting out to send one back and now I am just hoping they send the missing one without too much delay! The ones I have tried so far are really interesting though. Thanks for all your hard work, regards Jackie D

  19. Hi Joe,

    First time for me. I have never made a card but have
    been so inspired by your work I ordered the Grand
    Calibur and big set of Spellbinder Dies so I will be
    visiting your blog regularly to get me going. Was very interested that you used a canvas type fabric as
    I am a patchwork and quilter.
    Thank you for your inspiration and for sharing your
    ideas.

  26. Hi Jo, after watching you all week on create and craft I just had to check in on your blog - it is amazing. I have got the spellbinders bundle (embossing folders awaited) and can't wait to start - never crafted this way before so I will need to refer to your blog regularly for inspiration. Thanks Sue x
