The Beautiful Magical Fuchsia Collection By Alex Syberia For Spellbinders

Hi, crafty friends!  Today I am happy to share two cards with you that I made featuring Spellbinders' gorgeous Magical Fuchsia Collection by Alex Syberia!  This collection has all of my favorites:  a 3D embossing folder, layered stencils, stand-alone die set, and a press + foil plate + die set!  Everything you need to make an assortment of gorgeous cards!!

For this first card I used the Layered Magical Fuchsia stencils and the Magical Fuchsia 3D Embossing Folder.

To begin, I first cut white cardstock with the outline die in the Magical Fuchsia Press + Foil + Die set.  This die not only cuts out the BetterPress image!  The cut shape also works with the Layered Magical Fuchsia stencils and can then be placed in the Magical Fuchsia 3D embossing folder!!

So I used the stencils to add various inks with blending brushes through each layer.  Then I placed the colored piece into the 3D Embossing Folder and secured it with small pieces of removable tape.  I ran it through my Platinum 6 die cutting machine.

This Fuchsia piece is so beautiful with all of the dimension added from the embossing folder!  I wish photos showed that better.

I wanted a bold dramatic background that wasn't too busy.  So I embossed Violet cardstock with the Tufted 3D embossing folder, one of my favorites.

The sentiment is one of three included with the Magical Fuchsia Press and Foil set.  Both elements are popped up on the card front with foam adhesive.

This second card features the Magical Fuchsia die set along with a background pressed from the Magical Fuchsia Press and Foil plate.

I die cut various ColorWheel cardstocks (in the list below) with the dies in the Magical Fuchsia die set.  I didn't worry about making these flowers realistic, but just arranged the layers how I liked.  A bit of an abstract look, maybe?

I do love a white background to make a focal point pop!  I really love this subtle interest I added by simply using my BetterPress Letter Press system to press the Magical Fuchsia press plate twice into white cardstock.  In real life, this adds not only beautiful visual details, but also tactile interest!  (I really hope to make a card using this with foil and my Glimmer Hot Foil System!)

Be sure to check out the entire Magical Fuchsia Collection!  Each item is also available to purchase separately at the Spellbinders' website.
