Circle Illusion 3-D Embossing Folder ~ Spellbinders

Hello friends~  Spellbinders has recently released a new line of 3-D embossing folders and they are fun, fun!  They're made to work with the new Universal Plate System, but I discovered the right sandwich using my Spellbinders Grand Calibur.

For my first card, I embossed a piece of white cardstock using the Circle Illusion Embossing Folder.  I added a sweet slice of pie using Serve A Slice from the Pie Perfection Collection.

Look at the crips detail in the embossing.  I recently learned that if you lightly spray your cardstock before running it through the machine with the embossing folder, that will prevent the cardstock from cracking.

For my second card, I was inspired by the amazingly talented, Yana Smakula.  She recently made a video explaining "Analagous Color Schemes".   I've had a color wheel in my craft room for many months and rarely use it.  I was so intrigued, I just had to give it a try. 

The flowers are cut using Petite Floral Potpourri.  The colors I used were Blue-Violet, Violet and Violet-Red.  What an interesting color combination, but I love it!  

I also used the 60%, 40%, 20% theory of using color, which she also explained in her video.  You can watch Yana's video by clicking HERE.  

For my final card, I turned to fall and one of my favorite die sets from Spellbinders to date.  It was such a joy to work with the Wagon Full of Fall die set again.  Mind you that I'm not rushing through summer!  But it's always good to think ahead.  As an added bonus, this die set is currently marked down to 40% off!

I've linked all the items I used below, for your convenience.  I am always incredibly grateful when you use my shopping links.  Thank you!!

More Pie, Anyone? ~ Spellbinders

Hello friends~ I'm back with another card using Spellbinders, Pie Perfection Collection from Tina Smith.  

I previously shared cards I made using Serve a Slice die set, in this post and this post.  Today's card also features the Dish It Up die set.  

If you're going to have pie, you have to have something to deliver it with, right?  There are five dies in this set which includes a fork, knife, spoon, serving spatula and a plate.  So cute!!

This card was so simple!  I created the background using multiple pieces of silverware in white on white, to create a subtle background.  I then made a chocolate cream pie, adding a bit of lattice work to the top of the pie.  I cut the spatula out of silver cardstock and dished the pie up on the plate that's included in the set.

If you or someone you love has a sweet tooth, then this set is a definite "must see"!  

You can find all these dies and more at Spellbinders:

Spellbinders Serve a Slice

Good morning sunshine!  Today's card is bringing in the sunshine with warm and happy yellow tones, using dies from Spellbinders.  

For this card, I used the Mini Slimline Envelope & Nested Card Creator to create the background banner on which I added this delightful lemon cream pie, using Serve a Slice dies from Spellbinders Pie Perfection Collection.

The pie is sitting on a plate, cut using the Dish It Up die set, which you'll see more of in a future post.  The top banner was made using dies from previously released Truly, Madly, Deeply Card Kit.

Pie Perfection ~ Spellbinders Invitation

I'm super excited to be bringing today's card to you, using Spellbinders newly released "Pie Perfection Collection" from designer, Tina Smith.  I've been an admirer of Tina's work for a long time now, and when she came out with her first release "Sweet Street", I was completely smitten.  Pie Perfection has me drooling over each and every set in this collection, just as her first collection did!

Today's card focuses on the "Serve a Slice" set.  There are 8 dies in this set, giving you plenty of options on how you want to create your pie.  Mine is fruity with chocolate glaze.

For the background, I used an older "Celebrations" embossing folder from Spellbinders and added the "Layered Stitch Background" over a piece of plaid paper from my stash.  I then made the pie and added the drip edge to make it look like the chocolate glaze was oozing down the edge. The plate is from the Dish It Up set, which you'll see more of in a future post.

 A sprinkling of sugared glitter, a dallop of whipped topping and a cherry on top.  Isn't it delicious?
