Spellbinders | Loving Wishes Card and Enhancing Elements dies from Spellbinders. Video

In case you are wondering, this is not going to be a Clean & Simple card. And the reason for that is the post I did for Spellbinders Explore Beyond Blog last week. I noticed that a lot of my readers enjoyed that card (which is far from being a clean and simple one) so I decided to make a few more fancy and elegant cards like that.

CARD DETAILS

On my video I mention something called Spellbinders Card Recipes. This is something I came up with when working with fancy Spellbinders dies. There’s a post on the Ukrainian version of my blog about one of the recipes (its not in English), sharing a link just in case you wanted to take a look.

Once again I used quite a few different dies to create this card. I went with Gold Corners One (sadly, this set has now been discontinued), Elegant Ovals and Gold Ovals One (more about “Gold” type of dies below) and A2 Bracket Borders One.

Spellbinders “Gold”dies, for example Gold Ovals, Gold Circles etc are designed to enhance a shape, not cut a shape out. Its best to use Gold Ovals with some type of an oval die, regular oval or a fancy oval. Same goes for circles, squares and other shapes.

For my die cutting I used regular watercolor paper (something I no longer do). I love how it adds additional texture to my die cuts. As for the patterned paper – this is Botanical Tea 12×12 paper pad from Graphic 45 (discontinued).

The sentiment, Loving Wishes, is from Stampendous; I heat embossed it in white embossing powder onto vellum and wrapped around the front panel. I always love to embellish my fancy Spellbinders cards with pearls, so I added a few to this one as well.
