Spellbinders die cuts... ...for a layered look on your cards.
To get a layered look to your cards put your Spellbinders dies to good use...here's how!
If you enjoy die cutting then Spellbinders are something well worth trying.
The only drawback is the cost as they are quite expensive.
And because of the cost involved they need to be stored and cared for carefully.
I have attached mine to magnetic pads and adhered them to the wall so they are always on hand over my work area ready to be used.
They are thin individual dies that can produce some really stunning effects for
matting and layering
and to create the all important
toppers
to give your cards the much needed focal point.
"Borderabilities" "Embossabilities" "Impressablities" "Edgeabilities" and "Nestabilities" plus others and they can all create some magical effects.
They come with smooth and scalloped edges and the "Nesties" are called so because the shapes all nest together.
By incorporating the different sizes together, frames can be made with a thick or thin rim.
The all come in sets of 5/6 dies and you can buy heart shapes, snowflakes, flowers, stars, paisley patterns, octagons, squares, circles, ovals and many, many more.
They come with laminated instructions, to tell you how to use the dies in your particular
Die cutting machine
You can also emboss with the dies, and for this you will need the "Tan Embossing Mats"
Look online for some really good deals and choose carefully.
I have bought a lot of mine from America and despite the postage they still work out cheaper than buying in the craft shop.
For some really good bargains take a look at
Scrap-Mart
Make sure it is a die that you will use a lot, the last thing you want is a die that sits there doing nothing after costing you so much.
Take a look
Pyramage
and the
Invertage
pages to give you some ideas on how to put your Nesties to work.
