One of the soaring highlights in blogland last year was the huge release of new Spellbinders dies. I scheduled time every night to check in with each blogger that was making a reveal of a new Spellbinders die and absolutely swooned when I saw the fabulous dies that were slated to be released. Spellbinders is celebrating their 5 year anniversary and the celebration will be another huge unveiling of new dies. There is an opportunity for you to win, and win big! I am pleased to be able to share details of the amazing Spellbinders Blog Frenzy!

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON SPELLBINDERS BLOG at www.SpellbindersPaperArts.com/blog
Without further ado, I am so pleased to be able to reveal die cut templates that absolutely had me doing a little happy dance! The awe-inspiring Spellbinders has done it again – I present to you two new die template sets. 
LG Octagons, SKU #S4-185 and LG Scalloped Octagons, SKU #S4-187. MSRP – $24.99 each
The octagon is such a complex shape full of possibilities. I knew it would be one of my favorites because it’s a shape that I encountered often in both origami and quilting – areas that always lend inspiration to my stamping. The LG Octagons come in a set of 7 nested dies that are symmetrical in a circular shape with eight flat sides. The largest die measures 4" x 4" while the smallest measures 3/4" x 3/4". The SKU # of the LG Octagons is S4-185 and the MSRP is $24.99. The LG Scalloped Octagons come in a set of 6 nested dies that are symmetrical in a circular shape with four scallops on each of the eight sides. The last scallop on each side is the first scallop of the next side. Each scalloped octagon, regardless of size, has 24 scallops. The largest die measures 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" while the smallest measures 1" x 1". The SKU # of the LG Scalloped Octagons is S4-187 and the MSRP is $24.99.
I have two projects to share with you today. On the first project, I’ll share with you how I made it and on the second, a video tutorial will be forthcoming. When I received my dies, I was intrigued by both shapes together and that led me to the inspiration for this “Give Thanks” card. The straight edges of the LG Octagons crisply illuminate the feminine scallops of the LG Scalloped Octagons; the two shapes mesh very well.
My Many Thanks card is a large card measuring 7 ¾" high by 5 ½" wide and is designed to be sent using a 6" x 9" catalog envelope. We’ll make this card by building up from the bottom.
Step by Step
1. Score in half, a piece of cardstock measuring 15 ½" high by 5 ½" wide.
Tip – if you do not have paper larger than 12" you can still make a larger card by seaming the pieces. Cut one piece at 10" x 5 ½", score one at 7 3/4". Cut the other piece at 7 ¾" x 5 ½". Allow the flap to overlap and adhere with the seam showing on the inside, back of the card. Cover this with design paper on the inside of your card.
2. Smudge the edges of the paper with distress ink – I used brushed corduroy.
3. Cut a solid piece of cardstock to measure 7" high x 5" wide.
4. Cut a patterned piece of paper to measure 6 7/8" x 4 7/8". Smudge the edges with distress ink and glue the design paper on top. Attach to base with pop dots.
5. Cut a small strip of paper 5 ¼" wide by 2" and punch with a border punch. Trim down to a 1" height and attach along the top edge of your card. Smudge with distress ink and add pearls for embellishment. Attach with pop dots.
6. Cut/emboss the first layer of medallion using the 4 ½" x 4 ½" LG Scalloped Octagon and the 2 ½" x 2 ½" LG Octagon at the same time.
7. Cut/emboss the second layer of the medallion using 4" x 4" LG Octagon and the 3" x 3" LG Octagon at the same time. Smudge with distress ink.
8. Cut/emboss the inside layer of the medallion using the 1 7/8" x 1 7/8" LG Octagon.
9. Stamp your sentiment then assemble the medallion with pop dots, taking care to thread a 5” piece of ribbon through the top layer of the medallion, securing it with a button.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: The Paper Company Studio
Paper: Base – The Paper Company, Blonde Columns, Design Paper – The Paper Loft: Grandma’s House, Bazzill – Capers
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink – Peeled Paint, Ranger Distress Ink – Brushed Corduroy
Tools: Spellbinders Wizard Die Cutter, Spellbinders LG Octagons S4-185, Spellbinders LG Scalloped Octagons S4-187, Martha Stewart Cornice Edge Punch,
Accessories: Michaels Pearls, JBH Button, Offray Grosgrain Ribbon, Hobby Lobby Cream Satin Ribbon, Pop Dots
My second project is a card and gift box ensemble. You know I love medallions and I have been dying to create one using Spellbinders products. This one is easily put together and because you can use any size LG Scalloped Octagon, S4-187, it will span many different box and card sizes. The birthday card is 7" x 5" and the medallion measures 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"; the gift box measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
Although I mentioned using the Wizard in my card recipe, I wanted to make sure you know it’s very simple to use Spellbinders die templates with other popular die cut machines currently on the market. Instructions and sandwich recipes come with new die cuts and that information is readily available on the Spellbinders website. In fact, if you are a visual person like I am, there are three wonderful videos by Spellbinders that show how easy it is to get fabulous results using their universal dies.

Becca,
I have been reading your blog for a couple of months and I believe you are the best!! I love your work and your directions. I found you thru Flourishes. Your designs are very elegant. I had Spellbinders and use them with my Cuttlebug so I love what you are doing with both products.
Becca,
WOW!!!!!!
Great Job Girl.
~~Diane~~
I LOVE these new dies! And what you have done with them is amazing! I can’t wait to see the video tutorial of the flowers. You have such a way of thinking outside the box – it’s inspiring. Spellbinders are my favorite dies and I love seeing what ideas others come up with.

oh goodness………….
Becca! Once again your designs are jaw dropping gorgeous! I love your classic, timeless style.
Oh my gosh! Beautiful, simply beautiful. You’re such an enabler, girl! The only good thing is when I show your work to my DH, he’s so impressed he doesn’t mind if I “buy a few more dies”! Course I forget to tell him your talent isn’t included in the package! LOL

I will give up that afternoon trip to the candy machine to save money to buy these dies! That will get me my die AND help me make sure I stick to my resolution of NOT gaining any weight this year!
Your use of these dies is just stunning! Thank you for the amazing inspiration.
Becca, I am always amazed at the way you see possibilities in shapes–you have the eye and soul of a true artist, and I am grateful!

You have an old style of elegance that demands to be shared. I love the lace/antique style and hope one day to be able to pull it off myself. You, madam, have been bookmarked!

Becca
I came across your Blog only last week and I have revisited it so many times since.
Your work is realy awesome, you are so talented. I have picked up so many ideas to use on my own projects.
Thank you for being so inspiring!
Becca you have done it again, marvellous projects. Wish my creative imagination worked like yours thanks for sharing.
LG Octagons and LG Scalloped Octagons …how good do they look! Very inspirational.
What a stunning card – and what fab new Nesties! I love the boxes too – how did you make them? Please share :)
Becca, Your work is remarkable. I aspire to be half as good as you. I love this octagon shape. It is so versatile. I am rapidly becoming a nestability fan. So much so my neighbor approached me about a community garage sale and I am thinking of putting my punches in the sale since they take up so much more room! Janice
Becca, I especially love what you did with the scalloped octagon!
Your work is amazing and inspiring!
Wow, what could I say?
It is speechless, can’t find a better word.
It is beautiful, especially the flower-shaped top,
can you post a tutorial for making up the flower?
I am a sunday school teacher, every month we have crafts,
I would like to teach them how to make this flower in origami way.
thanks.
I have been admiring your work for awhile now, but have never posted anything. I had no desire to buy nestabilities until I saw your work, which is just fantastic.
I appreciate your artistry but most of all your testimony and faith. Keep sharing because you are a blessing!
OMG, Becca, what fabulous projects!!! I love your elegant style and thanks sooo much for the tutorial!!! Such fabulous work, missy!!
Your blog and the wonderful projects and tutorials are what makes my day during the work week! Thank you for sharing….your talent is just Amazing.
What a creative person you are, Becca. God has given you an immense talent. Beautiful work!
Becca, your projects are simply Amazing!! Your first card is so beautiful and a wonderful way to use the dies. The step shots are wonderful! Your second project with the gift box and card are stunning!! You are so very talented! TFS!!
[…] What Spellbinders did you use? I used two of the new Spellbinders – LG Octagons, SKU #S4-185 and LG Scalloped Octagons, SKU #S4-187. I was fortunate enough to be able to introduce those two new shapes last month here. […]
