Good morning and welcome to Tutorial Tuesday. Today Sheree takes us through the steps for using your Spellbinders for masking.
Altered art and masking are all the rage at the moment… did you know that spellbinders can make the best masks ever…All you need are a few simple tools:
Spellbinders of your choice – I used S4-114 Standard Circles Large
Chipboard -I used an old cereal box as this is thin enough for your spellbinders to cut through
Ink and sponges
Bazzill cardstock
I started off with die cutting my mask. I simply put my spellbinder with my cereal box chipboard through my grand calibur machine. This gave me a circle mask perfect for lots of different designs. I wanted a bubble effect over my page (this is another great way to make your own patterned papers). You can also just use your spellbinder itself as the mask simple place this on your page using some removable tape and ink the same way. Just remember to clean off your die before the next use as it will have ink left on the metal…
Next place your design where you require it to be and simply rub ink over the die cut shape. Lift the cereal box off and there you have your own masked pattern…
Continue this till you get your desired effect… You don’t just have to use circles for masking just about any spellbinder shape would come in great use for masking as well… instead of ink why not try out some sprays these work fantastic also.

"I've got my children home on school holidays, and I'm always on the look out for little projects we can do to stave off boredom. I thought we could make sheets of handmade embellishments that can be used on cards or layouts, and even given away as gifts to like-minded crafty people. This little project ticks a lot of boxes: -keeps us busy for an hour or two -uses up scraps of supplies, so it costs nothing -we spend our time productively and make cool stuff that will save us time later. I like to make these little things in multiples - one design in a few colours. Here's an example of three different designs, in a couple of colours. I have used a selection of papers from a 6x6 paper pad, but of course scraps you already have at home can be used. To make the embellishments more presentable as a gift, I have attached them to a piece of acetate with a couple of little glue dots and decorated the top of the acetate with a piece cut from a Labels Six die cut."

Good morning everyone. Today we have an extra little tutorial to share with you.
Teresa has created this card using a clever little technique with the Spellbinders Labels Six die giving it a completely different look.
Bazzill Basics Cardstock:
7-799E Sea Salt
2-248E Lava
Spellbinders:
S4-230 Labels Six
S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants

JustRite Stamps:
CL02155 Merry & Bright
Other Materials Used:
Prima North Country Collection Red Deer patterned paper
Red and White Baker's Twine
Adhesive bling
Toothpicks
Step One:
Cut a strip of cardstock that is about 7cm wide, and place one end of it in the die as shown. Step
Step Two:
Run it through the Grand Calibur or other die cutting machine, taking care not to run it through all the way. You just want to cut the very end of the paper strip.
Step Three:
Tie baker's twine around the strip near the decorative end
Step Four:
Cut two flags from the Lacey Pennants die set, and stamp words toward one side of the flags. Fold the flag over behind itself, and glue down with a toothpick in place. Assemble the rest of the card.
