You Were Born To Sparkle!

Hi crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing this makeup bag shaped die set by Spellbinders that is absolutely THE cutest set ever!  Not only is the Gorgeous You Makeup Bag set totally adorable, it can also be a gift card holder!  My vision for this was to be more like a clutch purse, and I think it worked!

I die cut the pieces of the Gorgeous You Makeup Bag dies from Bellini, Coral, white, and mat gold cardstock (linked below).  I adhered the pieces with glue.  Then I die cut one more bag, omitting the decorative center, from Bellini cardstock.  I will use this piece for the back of the card, adhering the two together with the die cut hinge that's included.

Then I glued the gift card holder on the inside of the card.  Note:  This die just cuts the slit, but since I didn't think to do that before I glued the Markup Bag pieces together, I just trimmed it into a strip.

The two sentiments are from the Bougie Birthday Sentiments press plate & die set.  This set presses all the sentiments at once, then die cuts them all with one die.  I love this type of set to have all of the extra sentiments for other projects, like this one here!

I die cut Coral and Rainforest cardstock with flower and stem dies from the Sprinkle & Grow die set.  I arranged and tucked them under the sentiment using glue to adhere.

To go along with the sentiment on the outside, some bling was needed!  I found some coordinating gem stickers in my stash and placed them around on the card front.

Nothing like a sparkly makeup bag, right?!!  This collection also has a coordinating Gorgeous You Makeup die set that you can check out by clicking the link below.

I hope you've been inspired by my card featuring the MOST adorable Gorgeous You Makeup Bag!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Floral Get Well Card with Die Cutting and 3D Embossing

Today I'm sharing another card from Spellbinders Out & About Collection.  This one features the sweet Sprinkle & Grow dies.  I used the Scallop Labels and Tag for this adorable shaped card!

I die cut the Sprinkle & Grow dies from the same cardstocks that I used on my first card from this collection.  You can check out the specific cardstocks in the list on this blog post.  I die cut the watering can from some mat silver cardstock.

After I assembled the flowers, stems and leaves I glued them into the watering can.

Next I took a side folding A2 card base and placed the second largest die from the Scallop Labels and Tag die set with the left edge of the die just beyond the folded edge.  I ran that through my Platinum die cutting machine to die cut the shaped card.  Then I die cut purple cardstock with the same die and glued the layer to the card base.  The finished card is about 4" x 5-¼".

The next layer is made by die cutting white cardstock with the third largest Scallop Labels die and then embossing it with the Flower Frenzy 3D embossing folder.

The sentiment is from the Always and Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate and Die Set.  I love how this presses and then die cuts all of the sentiments at once.  It's so handy to have all of the extra sentiments on hand ready to use!

I hope you've enjoyed this sweet card today and have been inspired too!  Thank you for stopping by!
