Elegant Twist Circles | Hello


Hello my Friends,
I'm sharing a "Hello" card featuring Elegant Twist Circles Dies designed by Becca Feeken. I used my favourite colours: pink and mint.


I love vintage style cards. I used a "Vintage Photo" distress ink on the background to add a little colour on the edge of a card and I stamped a script on it.
In the middle, just around the clock, I adhered a large ring. I cut it using the outer and inner rim and pattern between. I used a foam 3D tape to add a dimension.  In the same way, I die-cut a middle size ring and fit it a little under. 

I cut the Stamperia flowers right up to the edge using my little scissors and put them on the bigger circle.


In the middle, I put the small circle. I stamped it using a Script Stamp.  Then I add a sentiment "Hello" with the coordinated background.  Lastly, I embellished my card with handmade flowers.

Elegant Twist Oval by Becca Feeken | Floral card

Hello Friends,

Today I have an inspiration card to show you how you can use a Spellbinders dies from a new Collection the Elegant Twist designed by Becca Feeken to create a simple and beautiful project.


Onto floral background, I put a large oval die cut. I used an outer rim and pattern together to cut this.  I used the same combination with a  medium oval. I die cut it from the floral paper, the same as the background. To make a dimension I use a 3D tape to adhere them together.


I didn't add any handmade flowers this time. Instead, I cut out some flowers and put them between two ovals.


The sentiment is printed out. I have a very limited staff of stamps so printing it is the best way to create some sentiments for me.

SUPPLIES:
Floral paper
printer


Thank you for stopping by.
Have a good week 😍

The open aperture center works like a frame for images or even a shaker. Use only half to make it appear rounded or as a border or pocket. The fan motif can be cut, tucked in, or layered to create a number of embellishments in no time. Ahhhh, romance, can you ever get enough?

Thank you Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace for the dies to use today.

My Project Today using Fanfare


This month I prepared a card 13x18cm and a napkin holder. This set of dies is so amazing that I decided to create a simple card to show the uniqueness and style of this set.


I adhered a pale pink paper onto my card as a background. Anyway, I love this colour. 
I die cut a shape from a dust blue paper and white and gold a decorative pattern die cut. 

The sentiment is printed. In a graphic programme, I usually match the size of my sentiment to the size of the die-cut and then I print it.  

I embellished my card with handmade flowers made with dies from July DOM.


If you want to decorate your table or put something unique you can create a napkin holder using July DOM.  It's very easy to make. You only need to die cut the shape with a decorative pattern. Then cut it in a half and then you have 2 sides of your holder. To hold the napkins inside I put there a small box.

Supplies:

- Texture paper: pink, blue, white,
- gold mirror paper
- ribbon, pearls
