Spellbinders Card

The next few days are busy with lots of appointments and a huge To-Do list. I’m so far behind with blog reading it’s hard to imagine trying to catch up. Tomorrow I have a long car appointment to replace a noisy windshield motor. The dealer has free Wi-Fi so I’m hoping to get an hour or so to browse again.

Here’s a card we made at the last class I took at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff. The way the class was described, I was expecting a technique class with Spellbinder dies. Since I love them so much, I was anxious to find some new ways to use them. Sadly, the class was not billed correctly at all. We made two cards (one will show up here later, but it’s on its way to someone who reads this blog). All the die cutting had been done for the participants ahead of time, which was fine as it was nothing unusual. All in all, a disappointing class, especially since part of our ride home was on rather treacherous roadways.

Although I liked the cards, they were quite time-consuming, and certainly not anything you could reproduce in mulitples. It’s hard to see in the photo, but after we distressed each leaf and put the wreath together it was misted with a lovely sparkling gold mist. The green card is what opens for the inside message. Also hard to see in the photograph is the frame behind the green card which is a Spellbinders die cut into four pieces. It’s a beautiful brown shimmery cardstock.
