I discovered a new way to use Spellbinders dies .....Using the dies with Fimo clay!

Prepare the Fimo
Taking Fimo clay, roll out enough clay for the Plain Dress Form die and red rubber stand from the All Dolled &Dressed Up stamp set.
clip_image004

Take the Plain Dress Form die template, impress it into the clay then cut the shape out. Carefully remove the clay cutout from the die template. Place the Paisley print red rubber stamp on an acrylic block; impress this into the clay dress form.

Next, using another rolled out piece of clay, impress the stand trim around the outside edges of stand. Attach stand to bottom of dress form by carefully pressing these together & bake according to manufacturer’s instructions on package.

clip_image010
Prepare the card
Start out with an A2 size (4 ¼ x 5 ½") card. Cut /emboss the following out of cardstock, using Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® machine.
Tip: Place wax paper between the cardstock and the die, using wax paper allows the cut die shape to release easier after it is embossed.
(A) 1 - Rectangle LG Fancy Postage die
(B) 1 - #7 (#1being the smallest) Basic Card Creator Set A die
(C) 1 - #4 Basic Card Creator Set B die (Embossed using Patchwork M-Bossabilities)
(D) 1 - Fancy Postage Tag die
(E) 2 - Bitty Blossoms Large Flower & double leaves dies (D)

Lightly sand and ink all edges of each piece except bitty blossoms.
             clip_image012clip_image014clip_image016

To make the Bitty Blossom flowers, use 8mm ball stylus to round the petals. Start with the first two embossed side up and then turn over and round the remaining petals. Assemble the Bitty Blossoms by adding a drop of hot glue to the first outside two. Roll the remaining petals, keeping these a little tight, until you reach the circle that is shown below. Release a little pressure allowing the petals to unwind slightly. Add some glue to the circle and place the flower base on top of this to create the Bitty Blossom.
                              clip_image018 clip_image020

Once the Fimo Dress Form has been baked and is cooled take the Tumbled Glass distress ink, using a dauber apply ink to the dress form. Once the color is as desired, take a paper towel and lightly rub the ink off the top of the dress form. Rubbing lightly will only remove the color off the raised portions of the dress form. Do the same for the stand using Shabby Shutters ink.
 
Assemble the card in the following order using key above
· Card Base
· Piece A
· Piece B
· Piece C with Fimo Dress form attached
· Piece D
· Pieces E

Add some pearls and a little glitter using Smooch Glitter or Stickles to the Bitty Blossoms.

No measurement or guess work is needed; we have done all of that for you. Cut, emboss, stencil, and assemble!

Here is another card using the Basic Card Creator and the Fancy Ribbon Threader decorative dies.

Here is a video to show you more ideas using the Card Creator Line


I’m pleased to introduce you to my good friend and President of Spellbinders, Stacey Caron. She’s created some beautiful cards of her own to share with you using the Nestabilities Card Creator die templates.

clip_image024

I’m so excited to finally share with the world a wonderful collaborative effort between myself and a dear friend of mine Cindy Echtinaw, called NESTABILITIES® CARD CREATOR!!

Cindy has been a Spellbinders supporter, customer and stamping partner for quite a while. She wanted decorative Spellbinders die templates that could coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders Nestabilities and A2 size cards... Hence.... The birth of a fabulous new card making line that will make achieving beautiful cards quick, easy, and fun.

We even came up with a cool way to remember what Spellbinders Nestabilities CARD Creator will mean for card makers everywhere...

C= choose your design
A= assemble your pieces
R= refine the details
D= All Done!

I was so moved by the designs in Cindy's line… how fast and easy it was to create truly beautiful cards with little effort! I really wanted to share all four decorative sets and the two basic sets with you during our blog frenzy... This way you can get the real message of all the possibilities your mind is about to encounter... LOL! Here is the best part... It's just the beginning!!!
 

From left to right... my cards are showing:

Matting Basics
S5-135 A2 Fancy Ribbon Threader
S5-134 A2 Fancy Postage Edge
S5-136 A2 Fancy Weave
S5-133 A2 Polka Dots


As you can see from both Cindy's cards and my cards, we both have very different styles even though we used the same card creator die templates! Lots of possibilities no matter what your style may be.

I so enjoy working with talented artists to bring fabulous, useful products to our supporters! We hope you enjoy Nestabilities Card Creator as much as we did in creating it for you! You can find the instructions to all of my cards HERE.
