"Have you got lots of spellbinders now like me… well this step by step will show you how to get the most out of your dies. With one simple die I have transformed it into many different shapes to make a banner which is all the rage at the moment in the scrapping world."


Materials Used:

Assorted Papers
Various Spellbinders Dies

Step One: 

Cut out 5 rectangles using S4-142 Long Classic rectangles large.



Step Two:

Using some scissors cut out a triangle from the bottom of one of the rectangles. This gives you a double point banner. 


Step Three: 

Using a corner rounder round the edges of a rectangle to give it another different shape. 


Step Four: 

Using scissors again cut from the bottom of the rectangle into the centre to make a triangle.  


These different techniques can be seen on the Happy Birthday Card. 

 Try making other shapes with the dies you have you will be surprised how far you can stretch these dies to suit your needs.
