Hello everyone and thank you so much for joining us today for Spellbinders November inspirational blog hop! There are 4 new (very different!) collections being released this month. I picked the traditional style dies from Becca Feeken’s Chantilly Paper Lace collection to create the card I am sharing today.
As of September 2016 I work as an in-house creative designer at Spellbinders office in Phoenix. While I do a lot of work for them and create a number of different projects I am only sharing what I truly love made using their products here on my blog. I do not and never will share projects or mention products I not love.

CARD DETAILS
This is a standard size A2 card. I started working on this project by cutting a blue cardstock (I used Simon’s Sea Glass cardstock) to 4 ⅛ x 5 ⅜ “ and foam mounting it onto the base of my card. Next, I die-cut 2 large Flower/Border from the Lilly Pearl Flat Fold Flower/Border set out of gold foil cardstock. This die can be used to both make a border and a flower! So clever! I cut my borders to size and adhered onto the card.
I picked some teal grosgrain ribbon and wrapped it around my card. Next, I die-cut & embossed the Outer Layer and Filigree Frame Layer from the Hannah Elise Layering Frame Small set out of gold foil cardstock. I always make a point of dry embossing my die cuts to have that extra detail added to them (and it always shows so nicely on any foiled cardstock). I foam mounted my elements onto the card.
I also die-cut & embossed Medium Label from the Breanna’s Corset Label set out of gold foil cardstock and foam mounted it onto the card. Finally, I cut & embossed Small Label from the Breanna’s Corset Label set out of white cardstock, stamped a simple Hugs sentiment in black ink and foam mounted it onto the card.
I made a little bow out of the same ribbon I wrapped around the card, added a blue pearl brad and adhered it in place. I also embellished my card using white self adhesive pearls.

I haven’t done too much dry embossing with Spellbinder dies but love that you have that capability. Your cards are so beautiful and the metallic gold with pale blue is elegant.
Beautiful design. It’s so elegant.
Wonderful card! I have not tried dry embossing with my dies yet. But I love the look so will have to try it.
love your dry embossing … haven’t done much lately, but you have certainly inspired me to get on it
It’s one of those techniques that I never think to use, but I do like it!
Just so gorgeous!!
