Traditional Spellbinders

Good Morning.

 

I hope you had a lovely weekend.  We had another Halloween party to go to.  This time it was one organised by the school committee to raise funds.  I baked a batch of cupcakes which the kids always love.  Now that Halloween is over its time to get stuck into some Christmas crafting.

 

For this weeks Spellblogger post from Spellbinders I decided to go all traditional.  By that I got out my decorative framed dies and got layering up.

 

Any of the Spellbinders nesting dies will work great for this.  The one I have used was hidden away in my stash.  Its ones of the first Spellbinder dies I bought many years ago but I am afraid its not available any more.  This was one of the first pretty dies I purchased.  Before that I think I only had a set of scalloped edge circles. 

 

I had a play about with my set of dies and layered it up using lots of gold and red card stock and a piece of patterned paper.

 

For the centre of the card I used theDie D-Lies Ho Ho Ho Holiday die and cut the sentiment from gold card stock.

 

I then used the Die D-Lies Candy Cane Holiday Die to create the little bow.

 

I then finished my card with some ribbon and a little gold jingle bell.

 

I hope I have inspired you to dig through your stash and pull out your older dies that you haven't played with for a while.
