Spellbinders | Cards with dies 

Hi there, welcome to a new blog post showing some cards I made with new dies from Spellbinders. The Summer 2017 Catalog has some cute Halloween and Xmas dies in it, but also some dies that can be used for off-season projects. I like the cool house from the Haunted Manor Die (catalog number S2-265) and also the cute bat die from the Spooky Tree Die (catalog number S4-835). I also had the chance to test the Tumbling Blocks Quilt Die (catalog number S2-276). I used the latter for the first card I'm showing today. There is also a short 'how to' as an intro to the photos for each project. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.

Karten mit Stanzen von Spellbinders

Anfang des Jahres wurde ich von Spellbinders gefragt, ob ich einige Blogbeiträge veröffentlichen möchte, die mit den Produkten dieser Firma entstehen. Da sagte ich nicht nein, denn es macht mir Spaß, neue Produkte auszuprobieren. Dies ist nun mein zweiter Post für Spellbinders. Den ersten Post findet ihr hier (klick). Drei neue Karten-Projekte sind entstanden. Thematisch geht es dabei um Halloween, Weihnachten und 'zeitlos'. Für die Karten verwendete ich Stanzen aus dem Sommer-Katalog von Spellbinders. Ich hoffe, es ist die eine oder andere Inspiration für euch dabei. Danke für's Vorbeischauen. Habt einen schönen Tag, eure Sandra.

How to: Card with Tumbling Blocks Quilt Die

You can use the die in at least two ways: 1) as a single element (where six diamond cut-out shapes are aligned in rows) or 2) you can use the six individual diamond shapes to make your own pattern. Here is what I did:

• used Tumbling Blocks Quilt Die to die-cut the blocks as a single element from patterned paper
• used patterned paper to cover the back of the aligned blocks
• cut up some of the diamond shaped cut-outs into triangles
• used a golden pen to add some shiny highlights
• added some stamping (cute little hearts and title 'hello')
• added a little bow made from baker's twine as a final touch ♥

How to: Card with Haunted Manor Die

• die-cut the house, the bats and the title 'spooky' from patterned paper
• use different patterned papers to back the windows, the door, the balcony and the stairs
• 'go wild' and try something different with your background (just make everything look less 'straight' and more wild)

Mit der Platinum Maschine von Spellbinders können Projekte bis zu einer Größe von A4 hergestellt werden. 

How to: Card with Snowflakes Die

• die-cut snowflakes with your cutting machine
• use gold twine to string the snowflakes 
• attach snowflakes (with glue dots) and the gold twine to the background paper (with washi-tape onto the backside of the background paper)
• glue everything to a card base
• add a stamped title
• done ♥
• combine black, white and gold for a festive elegant look
