Cosmo Cricket Mini Album & Printing onto Canvas

Hi Everyone I am excited about this project as it was the first one in a while I did purely for fun and – I did it purely for me! It is my entry to the latest Cosmo Cricket Challenge and I am really pleased with how it has turned out. This challenge had a lot of requirements (in blue)and I think I have covered them all! Create your own ‘die-cut’ background: whether this is hand-cut, or die-cut with a machine, your background paper has to be a custom made background! I created this album from scratch using my Spellbinders Christmas Tree dies, double sided sticky chipboard and papers from Cosmo Cricket’s Social Club collection. Your layout must include 3 pictures, any size you wish I have incorporated 3 full page pictures (more about those later) and 3 smaller pictures (also cut with Spellbinders) into the album I want to see at least one paper punch/decorative scissor used Tad tricky this one – but I have have used my maple leaf punch to add some dimension and a splash of color to my pages You must include fabric of some sort on your page 😀 Fabric is always so fun to […]

Valentines Favors with Spellbinders plusTutorial…

Hi Everyone Okay – so first off I want to say I am NOT a Spellbinders expert. In fact this post came about because apart from the circles – I only own ONE Spellbinders Set– the Labels One and I really wanted to come up with some ideas on how to use them other than just the plain shape. Treat Bags This really is as simple as it looks! Perfect for any party, class treats etc all you need to do is buy some cello bags, cut a plain pieces of card for the background and then use a smaller piece for the decoration. It’s a great way to use up scraps and I just added a rub-on for extra detail Mentos Favors I thought I was so clever coming up with this – and I have actually seem something really similar this week on the Spellbinders blog!
