I have been so busy lately that I have not had any time to craft so yesterday I sat down with my little girl and had a whale of a time with the good old trusted Sizzix machine and my new dies from Spellbinders. I made the following card for my mum for mothers day.

The backing paper has been embossed using the Spellbinders Garden Delight Embossing folder.

The Paper flower and tag were made using the Spellbinders Floral Tags die.

The polka dot ribbon is from a pack from MIC available here

The pearls and silver mirror card are from here

The stamp is from Family pack from Dovecraft also available here

Working with Spellbinders

I have been really lucky this week. I got to meet the wonderful Stacey Caron from Spellbinders who took a workshop at the Craft Hobby and Stitch International show at the NEC in Birmingham. Now if anybody has lost their crafting Mojo, then this lady certainly  gets you right back on track again. We got to view some of the latest products due for release later this year and were even lucky enough to come away with a fabulous set of dies and an embossing folder. How lucky am I ?! Here is a look at the cards that we made.

Made using the Angle Approach Die

 

Made using an M-bossabilities folder.

I must say that I think that the quality of the spellbinders dies are absolutely amazing and far superior to some of the cheaper brands out there. They really are built to last!
