Two Elegant Spellbinders Cards

Posted by Tmika Plair-O'Neal on March 10, 2020

CARD #1

Start out by cutting down a piece of cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼. This is your card insert.

Add adhesive to the back of your Victorian Corner dies (cut 2) and apply to the corners of the insert.
Attach the insert to the right inside panel of the Craft Perfect card blank - using ¼ scrappy tape.
Cut (1) each of the two middle dies in the Decorative Labels Eight die set.
Attach the larger of the two to the front of the card panel.
Add 3D foam dots to the back of the second die and lay on top of the previous die cut.

Cut (1) of the label die (center piece) in the 5x7 Elegant Labels Four die set and apply ribbon to the sliders and secure to the back to hide ends.
Add 3D foam dots to the back of the label and hot glue to secure to the front panel. Lay on top of the previous die.
Stamp the “hello” sentiment from Floating Wishes stamp set (Avery Elle) on to a piece of cardstock using Gina K Designs Ink (jet black).
Wipe /tape off the ink from the ends of the sentiment so that it fits nicely on the label. Fish tail – if desired.
Add ¼” scrappy tape to secure on to the last label.

CARD #2

Using your rectangle nesting die, position the rectangles so that it creates a nice even frame. Use washi tape to secure to get exact duplicates.

Cut 6 times (depending on thickness of paper) you want to create a little ‘well’ to hold the sequence/shaker mix.
Set (1) negative rectangle and (1) frame aside for later.
Using wet glue, adhere (5) of frames together – on top of each other.
Cut (1) of the Fancy Lattice die in desired paper.
Apply spray adhesive (works best and easiest) to the back of the lattice cut and lay on top of lawn Fawn acetate.

Grab the last remaining frame, apply wet glue to the back and lay on top (center) of the lattice and acetate combo.
Cut off excess using a trimmer for a clean and even cut.
Grab your card base (Craft Perfect) – cut it down if needed so that it creates a ¼ border around the perimeter of the card.
Cut a piece of cardstock down to make an insert – depending on the size of your card.
Stamp your sentiment using the Avery Elle stamp set and Gina K Designs Ink (jet black). I cut my stamp into two separate pieces. (Wish Big)

Center ‘Big’ sentiment onto the card stock insert and stamp. I added three tiny dots in front of my sentiment.
Apply adhesive to the card stock insert and place (right) on inside of (Craft Perfect) card base.
Grab the stack of frames and apply wet glue to the back of the stack and center on top of card front.
Add the (1) negative frame base to the center of the frame using ¼” scrappy tape. Make sure it lays flat.
Add the negative tiny pieces of the lattice die to the inside of the ‘well’ as well as any desired sequence and seed beads.

Add wet glue to the perimeter of the lattice topper and secure on top of the frame ‘well’.
Cut (1) middle flower and (3) small flowers form the Laced Flowers die Set.
Pinch the edges of the petals together on all flowers. Press the center of each flower in the palm of your hand to create dimension.
Layer (1) large and (1) small together (offset) on top of each other with hot glue.
Layer the remaining (2) small flowers together (offset) with hot glue.

Add 3D foam square to the back of both flower sets.
Cut (2) sets of leaves from the Cinch and Go Four and pinch up. Follow the center line.
Attach the two leaves together at the end – twice.
Stamp ‘Wish’ onto cardstock and apply 3D foam squares to the back – fishtail if desired.
Add the (2) flower sets to the front of the card and tuck the leaves underneath each set.
