♥ Favorably Simple Gift Box ♥

Hi there! I hope you all had a nice weekend! Spring Break is over here and the kiddos are back in school. I can't believe Summer is right around the corner! And so is "Wedding Season"! I made this cute little bag/box that would be perfect for holding a wedding favor or even the bird seed or bubbles at the church! They are also great to give for any occasion really. It is the Favorably Simple Gift Box Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders.

And besides how cute they are, they are super easy and quick to make! I "dressed it up" with the Infinity Link Border Etched Dies. Such a lovely Die too! The cute little tag also comes with the Gift Box Die. The sentiment is from the Graceful Tiny Tag Stamp and Die Set. I then finished it off with lots of pearls, a button and some satin ribbon.

Have a super fabulous day!

♥ Sending you a hug ♥

Hello. I hope you all had a lovely Easter. I'm stopping in today with a simple yet elegant card I made with some lovely Amazing Paper Grace Dies by Spellbinders. I started off by using the Adoria Square Etched Dies as my card base.

Then I used the Curvy Labels Etched Dies and foam dots to build up the card front. Love these Label Dies because they can be used with pretty much any other Die or just by themselves. So pretty!

Have a wonderful day!!

♥ ANTIQUITIES SQUARE ♥

Hi there! Happy Thursday to you! I'm stopping in today to share another card I made with a beautiful Dies Set from the new Vintage Treasures Collection by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. Today I am using the Antiquities Square Etched Dies for my card. Such a beautiful square shape. These Dies remind me so much of all my grandmother's costume jewelry I used to play with as a little girl. The large old pins, rings and necklaces. Just love the vintage look of these Dies. 

And don't forget, you still have time to join in on our Blog Hop introducing this new Collection and win a set of Becca's Dies. See post below!

Have an amazing day!

INTRODUCING VINTAGE TREASURES BLOG HOP

We are so tickled today to be introducing  Vintage Treasures .  You'll find a collection chalked full of classics!!  As always, there is a rectangle, oval, square and circle that will work well with everything in your stash and are perfect for layering.  Next are several embellishment sets.  As you hop through all the links in the blog hop, you'll see all the new dies and how we used them.

Inspiration for Vintage Treasures  
There is a special place in our hearts for those things kept in a hope chest.  Other than a promise of the future, they symbolize things of value and keepsakes that bring back treasured memories.  I delved there to find memories, filigree jewelry and keepsakes of old.  From long-forgotten turn of the century jewelry to the edgings on an old tattered handkerchief, I love bringing the past into the present in a style that is ....well, timeless.  These things -- bejeweled lockets, a sweet tiara and vintage adornments from long ago -- provided the sweet inspiration and restoration of some lovely, lovely Vintage Treasures.  

The physical dies in this collection have an extra measure of flexibility and function.  Most templates have an outer rim, and inlay and an inner rim that you can use for your sentiment.

My First Project For Today:

I'm tickled to introduce S4-991 Brillante Rondelle Etched Dies

Isn't this Die Set gorgeous?!! Love circle dies to begin with but then when you take Becca's timeless and beautiful flourishes and motifs and add them they just become magical. Love the different patterns in this set. SO beautiful!

  My Second Project for Today:

I'm thrilled to introduce S4-989 Cannetille Rectangle Etched Dies 

Another gorgeous Die Set! Love how the corners of the rectangle are mitered and also the beautiful scrolls throughout. As you can see, this Die Set (as most of Becca's Dies) can be used as a stand alone set or paired with many others. (I used the larger Die as the base on the first card above.)

 
Love the look of using this as the card front and having those see through panels. I just simply glued the card front to the back by adding some glue just along the top portion of the die cut. Super easy. (Just make sure you are using strong glue but one that dries clear.

Availability:

These Dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–>
