Today I would like to introduce you to this beautiful die template from
Spellbinders Victorian Collection
it is called Heirloom Oval (click the link)
The set is in three parts and it can be used in many different ways. Here I have tried to show you three ways to make this die work for you so that you get the full value from your purchase.
Then another layer is cut with the filigree pattern and layered on the top with foam pads.
I used the smaller centre part raised again with foam pads and added a simple pre printed greeting topper from Anna Griffin
The ribbon, hat pin and the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers all compliment the card which is very simply decorated
I then used the outer edge and the inner one to cut another frame in pink but without the filigree pattern in it and glued these two together
I cut another complete shape in white and added a verse to this before adding in the frame I have just created.
Then add all of this to your matted and layered base card and decorate as you wish. I have used Crinkle Ribbon and WOC flowers ... plus the hat pin
A frame has been created as in the second card and added with foam pads to the base.
I have decorated with WOC flowers and added in a pearl flourish from Want2Scrap
All my flowers have been sparkled with Glitter Magic
I hope I have helped you to see that by varying the Orientation the color and the decoration you can create really pretty cards that you will be proud to give
And now I am on my way to the Create and Craft Studio to show you the Teal Grand Calibur tomorrow
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
All 3 cards are just beautiful Christina! As you say the orientation and change of colours transforms them
ReplyDeleteHmmm, must find some free time in my retirement to play with the vintage collection of dies!!! People keep asking how we are enjoying retirement and I keep answering that we are still waiting for it to happen. Of course, we picked the worst time of the year (crazy time) to retire. Christina, I don't think you have retired, you have just changed your jobs, albeit to something you love, but that is what any job should be, eh? Something you would do for free, and the pay is a bonus ;) Ty again for some exquisite cards. Love them. X

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, love the 3 of them, it's hard to choose which one I like best, perhaps the apricot or is it the white, no the pink. I don't know, love the lot.

I bought a lot of the Victorian collection but somehow overlooked the oval. What a gem, and beautiful card examples. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow on C and C and seeing all your lovely samples.
ReplyDeleteThese are all stunning! Hope they bring these dies out in the US soon. Good luck with your TV appearance; I wish that we could see it here, but I can't seem to access your episodes BethAnn M.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina. A most beautiful collection. Each one a stunner! I honestly don't know how you do it… day after day producing incredibly beautiful pieces. We are soooooo lucky to have you. Best wishes on your shows. Safe travels. A Big Hug too! Enjoy your day.

Beautiful card Christine, love the new dies. Maxine T
ReplyDeleteOh my word, Christina...these are totally beautiful! Something else that really needs to get on my Spellbinders wish list. x
ReplyDeleteI just had a thought about these, Christina. I think that one of the oval shaped cards would make a brilliant ruby wedding card for my sister with just a tweak of the colour scheme. Thanks for the inspiration...and I've got a couple of months to get the dies, which are a good price online :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I really love that die!
ReplyDeleteI swore up and down that I have all the SB dies that I would ever need. So I'm not very happy with you and your absolutely gorgeous cards today!
