This little starter set of small dies are designed to be used with the Sapphire, but they can be used in any of the small die cutting machines that are on the market.
These little machines are so handy to keep on your work top to cut sentiments, tags or even some flowers. They take up no space at all but are just as strong as the bigger die cutters
You may have been lucky enough to get your Sapphire from C&C and this is the set of dies that came with the machine at that time. That machine is exclusive to C&C but the Prizm is the same concept and both are by Spellbinders
So here is a really quick and simple card idea for those little dies
Spellbinders Supplies:
- Prizm Die Cutting Machine
- Sapphire Basic set A
- S5-131 A2 Matting Basics A
- S5-132 A2 Matting Basics B
- SCF-001 Framed Canvas EF (Retired)
Other Supplies:
- Blue Dotty Card from Anna Marie Designs
- Any embossing folder that you have
- Blue Ribbon from Mei Flower
- Black flourish from Want2Scrap
Instructions:
Cut two panels with die #7 from Matting Basics A and create a hinged card
With die #7 from Matting Basics B cut another panel in dotty blue card
With die #6 from Matting Baiscs A cut another white panel and emboss in the folder that you have
(Please remember that die #1 is always the smallest)
Add the embossed panel to the dotty card with foam pads between the layers
Cut all the square dies together to create two frames and the other pieces as you need
Stamp your sentiment onto the small oval and layer it onto the tag die
Add the tag with foam pads to the embossed panel
Add ribbon through the loops on the tag and secure behind the panel
Layer up the frames to overlap each other with foam pads were needed
Layer up the butterflies along the body line and add the flourish as the butterfly trail
Add all this to the base card
More tomorrow ...

Morning Christina, a fabulous little card, I didn't think it was worth getting the small machine but yesterday I was in and out cutting things some small and it would have been very handy, so will definately think about getting one when we come back from holiday we are off to Tenerife on Friday and don't want parcels lying around.

ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty card. Love how you've integrated the squares and added the black flourish to the butterfly to also incorporate the squares
Thank you for the tutorial

I love this card. I bought the sapphire when you first demonstrated on C&C. I have used the dies many times and as you say I find it very useful. Wouldn't like to be without it now! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I actually won a set of these dies from Spellbinders, but I have rectangles instead of squares! It is a wonderful design plan with either, and I will be trying it soon! thank you for all of the wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty card. have been thinking of getting a little machine as i have been buying a lot of small dies lately. xx hugs.

ReplyDeleteLove your card and the dies. I was just thinking those little squares would work on planners. I have a small machine and they are we easy to use and so handy.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I do not have those dies but similar ones that I can use. Thanks for sharing Dianne
ReplyDeleteHi Christina
ReplyDeleteA great card and a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Good Afternoon Christina- This is a great looking card. I like the way you put it all together as well. Perfect bling for Butterfly body. The card is very nice.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Christina. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Christina. When you first look at these small dies you wonder what you can make with them but your shows demonstrating the little machine and dies were great inspiration. Love how the flourish embellishes the butterfly. Xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and simple. Will be making one like this when I get home this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI love the timeless elegance here, Christina. I made a similar crossword card for one of my Grandsons for his birthday, in December, and included as many words, for things he loves, as I could. I didn't measure the words before die cutting the letters and ended up with more than the front of the card could accommodate! He didn't know about the missing words and loved the format.
