Every time I use these feather dies I am struck by the detail in them! Embossing after cutting has become a must.



Products Used:

Bazzill Basics Cardstock:

10-1001E Bazzill White

Spellbinders:

S4-428 Feathers
S5-207 Labels Thirty Three

Other Materials Used:

7 dots patterned paper
Silver trim

Spellbinders dies can be used to create stencils that can be used to mask areas off when working with Jac Paper and glitter.


Products Used:

Bazzill Basics Cardstock:

10-1023E White OP
10-1037E Blackbird

Spellbinders:

S2-048 Sprigs
S5-172 A2 Curved Matting Basics B

Other Materials Used:

Glitter
Jac paper
Cosmo Cricket Tiny Text 

Step 1
Cut a piece of Jac paper to the correct size and adhere it to a piece of cardstock. Cut out the centre of the backing paper with a Curved Matting Basics B die.


Step 2
Replace the Curved Matting Basics shape in the centre of the exposed Jac paper, and sprinkle yellow glitter onto the edge. Burnish the glitter well to ensure adhesion between each step - this will ensure there are no sticky bits left where subsequent glitter colours will stick.


Step 3
Remove the Curved Matting Basics shape and cut a couple of Sprig shapes from it. Apply these to the exposed centre of the card front, and sprinkle pink glitter onto the Jac paper. Burnish well.


Step 4
Remove the sprig shapes and apply blue/green glitter. Use this to complete a card.
