Today's card is a rather simple and quick card made using some of the newest Spellbinders and BLING-abilities.
Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Cardstock:
10-1004F Bling Diamond
4-406E Chiffon
BLING-abilities:
LCED00035 Ironwork Motifs (Centre of cross)
Leftover crystals from partly used elements.
Spellbinders:
EL-002 M-Bossibilities Regal
S4-356 Floral Ovals
S5-093 Crosses 2
S5-059 Ironwork Motifs
Tip:
When working with the BLING-abilities I sometimes overlap elements which would mean hiding some of the crystals. Rather than doing this I remove these spare crystals and keep them for using as single crystals on other projects.

Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday. Today we have a step by step for enamelled butterflies.
Products Used:
Spellbinders:
S5-051 Fanciful Flight
Other Materials Used:
Stampendous Aged Embossing powders or Any colour embossing powders
Embossing fluid or stamp pad
Chip board (light weight )
Glitter
Heat gun
Instructions:
Step One:
Cut Butter flies from thin chip board.
Step Two:
Dab embossing fluid all over the chip shape.
Step Three:
Sprinkle embossing powder all over shape. Remove excess.
Step Four:
Heat the powder with a heat gun. Use a skewer, to hold in place and move enamel around, if needed.
Step Five:
Sprinkle a little black embossing powder around the edges, and heat with heat gun, use the skewer to swirl the black into the pink embossing powder.
Step Six:
Allow to cool, they are quite hot, so don’t burn your fingers.
Tip:
You can add glitter or micro beads, when the embossing powder is hot.
Use the skewer to cover areas, that have missed a bit of powder
If you don’t like the look of the butterfly simple reheat and add more product, or swipe it off with the skewer. There are no mistakes, they all can be fixed.
Use the skewer to make swirls and patterns in the enamel.
Make a lot up an one time, so you always have them on hand when doing a project.
Have fun and experiment.

Today we have a mini tutorial for making a patchwork themed card.
"The temptation to make a punny sewing theme card was too great, and I gave
in. As much as I love the look, paper patchwork is about as close as I'll
ever come to quilting!"
Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Cardstock:
9-960 Kraft
8-811E French Vanilla
Spellbinders:
S4-342 Square Swatches
S4-230 Labels Six
S5-088 Sewing Elements
S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants
Other Materials Used:
Cotton string
Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar Soup 6x6 patterned papers
Instructions:
Step One:
Cut lots of little shapes using a die from the Square Swatches set and some bright colourful paper with small patterns.
Step Two:
Adhere them to a scrap of cardstock (it doesn't matter what colour this is, as it will be completely covered). Once glued down, I added some stitches with my sewing machine to give extra texture to my finished card.
Step Three:
Cut a shape using a Labels Six die. I set mine on an angle for extra interest.

Here is a cute idea for a pin cushion. This time the BLING-abilities have been adhered to some felt rather than cardstock.
"This pincushion was a lot simpler to make than I thought! It’s simply a little pillow stuffed with hobby fill, and decorated just a little with glued and hand-stitched embellishments. I had fun making some of the embellishments with felt, and BLINGabilities are always fun to work with. This pincushion will hold some of my pins, so that they’re not put away in a box and hopefully I’ll remember to use them a bit more in my work."
Spellbinders:
S4-110 Ovals Large
S5-086 Bitty Blossoms
BLING-abilities:
LCED00017 Lacey Ovals
Other Materials Used:
Upholstery Fabric
Felt – soft pink, hot pink, dark green

Today we have a step by step from Teresa. The combination of acrylic paints, distress inks and embossing makes for interesting textures.
Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Cardstock:
8-811E French Vanilla
9-960 Kraft
Spellbinders:
S4-110 Classic Ovals Large
S5-026 Labels Twenty
ES-007 Sea Beauty M-Bossabilities folder
JustRite Stamps:
CL-02080 Fancy Tags
Other Materials Used:
Darkroom Door Seaside Montage image
Mini corked glass bottle
Tea-stained gauze
Tiny scrap old book page
Acrylic paints (blue, green, gold)
Distress Inks (dark brown, dark green)
Glimmermist (Forest Green)
Brads
Instructions:
Step One:
Emboss a piece of cardstock (the colour is not too important, as it will be covered up with paint) with the new Sea Beauty M-Bossabilities plate.
Step Two:
Cover the entire piece with a couple of different shades of blue paint.
Step Three:
Once dry, add a couple of shades of green paint. Spray lightly with a dark green colour spray (eg Forest Green Glimmermist), and allow to dry. Sponge some dark green ink over the painted cardstock to bring out the detail of the embossing.
Step Four:
Emboss another piece of cardstock, and cut using a Labels Twenty die. Cut the centre out of the shape with an oval die, thus making a frame. Paint the frame with gold acrylic paint, and when dry, sponge some dark brown ink to bring out the detail of the embossing.
Step Five:
Using the same Labels Twenty die we used to make the frame, cut a shape from the painted piece of background, and attach it to the back of the frame with mounting tape.
Step Six:
At the bottom right of the frame, adhere some tea-stained gauze, the mini corked bottle and the image. Stamp the sentiment onto French Vanilla cardstock, trim, and adhere to the card.
