Welcome to the First day of Spellbinders Pendants Blog Frenzy!

Spellbinders is celebrating the introduction of Pendants die templates, a new die line that will inspire your creative mind.  You have the opportunity to win the Pendant and Borderabilities die templates I’m introducing today by entering the contest at the end of this post.  Be sure to read all the rules before entering!  You still have until June 23rd, 11:59 pm EST to enter for the dies I’ll be showing you today.

What a pleasure it is for me to kick off the Blog Frenzy with this new Spellbinders product!  As you will see, it is right up my alley!  With all the techniques on punching that I’ve displayed and played around with, Spellbinders hit a home run in my book with the Pendant die templates.  I was thrilled beyond words to see that now I’ll be able to make the same type of round motif medallions with one pass of my Wizard!  (Remember, these die templates are universal and work with other popular die cut machines).  The possibilities are endless with stacking, off-setting, framing and removing the centers.  

Remember, these die templates can only be seen on Spellbinders Designer blogs and there will be 8 days of reveals.  As always, there is an opportunity for you to win these templates so I’d encourage you to take care and read my entire post carefully to make sure your entry is correct, ensuring your eligibility to win.

Here is a complete list of the line up.  To see or to go to any of the ones coming up, feel free to visit the following:

I know you are dying to see exactly what a Spellbinders Pendant die template is, so I’d like to present to you, two new Spellbinders sets:

S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendants – MSRP $24.99 per set

S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities – MSRP $19.99 per set

The Fleur De Lis shapes are the epitome of absolute elegance!  My mind immediately goes to wedding, vintage, invitations, favors – you get the picture.  The S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendants  include a large pendant, a center pendant and two accent pieces and has a MSRP of $24.99.  It’s no coincidence that the center pendant fits exactly in the middle of the large pendant.  This will enable a matched cut out or very stylized frame but the center pendant can also be stacked on top!  Then the two small accent pieces are of the same scale and size that you can use them separately or stack them on top of any of their matching outlines on the large or center pendants.  Pendants are symmetrical and perfectly sized for a card with the large pendant measuring 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and the center pendant measuring 1 7/8" x 1 7/8".

The S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities are made to work with both cards and scrapbooking with a perfect cut size of  1 x 5 1/2" for both and has a MSRP of $19.99.  The first Spellbinders Borderabilities die template with the fleur outline, is open-ended which will allow you to make a continuous border.  The top edge does not cut which will allow you to incorporate a border as a part of your page.  The second Spellbinders Borderabilities die template cuts on all edges allowing you to place the border as you will.

I have two projects to share with you today.  For the first project, a card called Make A Wish, I have included step by step directions to show you how to use the Pendants.  For the second project, A Vintage Gift Set with Keepsake Ornament and Box, a tutorial will be coming soon.

  Here is a closer look at the Pendant:

Here is a step through on how to make the card:

Stamps:  Printworks
Paper:  Bazzill, S.E.I Windsor

My second project is a vintage ensemble that includes a card, Keepsake Ornament and a Keepsake Box to hold the ornament.  The ensemble uses the S4-204 Fleur De Lis Pendant as well as both of the die templates of the S4-213 Fleur De Lis Borderabilities.   Here is a closer look at each piece of the ensemble:

A quick post today to share a baby card that I’m sending out to a friend.  My goodness what was happening nine months ago – I know quite a few people having babies.  It was an excellent opportunity to use one of my Magnolia stamps – so I chose baby Tingla (#286 Sitting Tingla).  She is watercolored with Tombow markers and cut out then perched on a frame that I made with Spellbinders Classic Paisley, Spellbinders Scalloped Paisley and Standard Circles Large.   For the sentiment I used Spellbinders Stars 5.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia – #286 Sitting Tingla
Paper:  Bazzill, Martha Stewart
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Pink Pastel, Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Spellbinders Classic Paisley, Spellbinders Scalloped Paisley, Spellbinders Star, Spellbinders Standard Circle Large, Ribbon, Pearls, Tombow Markers, Eyelets, Pearl Thread, Brad

We have a full day planned for Fathers Day – I hope yours is a memorable one too!!

ETA:  Just a reminder that new Spellbinders dies release on Monday, June 22nd!!  There will be a big contest going on and if you want to get a head start on “The Rules”, have a look at THIS post over at Spellbinders.   Want the low down on who will be showing which dies on which dates?  You can see the line up HERE!  Hope you have a second to stop by beginning on Monday – these new dies are on my favorites list already!

I am absolutely wild about the new Nesting Bird stamp by Impression-Obsession!  It’s so funky and different from my normal style that I thought it would make for a fun afternoon trying to figure out how to make it work.  I decided to emboss it in white on white watercolor paper and use my Tombow Markers to make the white embossing pop.   (Just so you know, Michelle at Stampers Dream is carrying the full line of Tombows now and she ships them out lickety split!)

Because I cut the image out and wanted to mount it on a dark background, I ended up cutting off much of the detail.  To get the detail, back, I white embossed my dark panel which I cut with Spellbinders Labels Large,  and seated the cut out image on top.    I used design paper from Tiny Dancer, My Mind’s Eye, Bazzill for my main panel and the card base is 140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: 
Impression Obessession – Nesting Bird, Hampton Arts – Sentiment
Paper: 
Tiny Dancer, My Mind’s Eye,  Bazzill, 140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper
Ink:  Versamark, Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Spellbinders – Labels Large,
Tombow Markers, All Dressed Up – Chenille Flower, White stamens, White Embossing powder, Clear Embossing Powder, Ribbon, Pearls, Brads

Tombow Colors – 837, 452, 373, 993, 177, 98

Psst . . . I’m pretty excited over here because there are some new things happening at Spellbinders!!  You will definitely want to stop by and see me on Monday, June 22nd when I get to reveal one of the new Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants.  I know the silence over here was deafening, but now I’ll get to show you what I was working on.  Don’t miss it!    Say, did someone say there are prizes to be had?  Come back to check it out!

    Sometime could you explain how you white embossed this stamp? I look at your cards every single day and have made several that look close to what you have done. I especially love that you tell us which color copics you have used. Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

    Hope you don’t mind me leaving a comment but just had to say how totally awesome this card is.
    The colours you used for the Nesting Bird with the white embossing are so perfect.
    I love it.ReplyCancel

    This is a fresh and funky bird, and you colored him so well.ReplyCancel

  • debJune 20, 2009 - 7:06 am

    this is one amazing piece of artwork. I am in total awe of your abilities. Yes, i must find this stamp now. Is it a new release?
    and oh, so glad you used Tombows cuz I own them and don’t have a single Copic. Can’t afford them!
    Again…this is amazing…great job!!!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, It’s been a long time since I have commented, but I am still out here stalking. This bird is so cool, just love it. I just got some new IO stamps of animals and such so I need to check closely to see if he is part of my set. Love what you did with all his funkiness and really like how you filled in for the bits that are impossible to cut out. Great idea.ReplyCancel

  • Jenny S. (UK)June 20, 2009 - 11:32 am

    Totally amazing card. Never think of embossing white on white – how clever and so effective. I have Marvy Le Plume pens so daresay they may be similar to TomBow. And such a clever way of getting the full stamp by doubling up….I’m speechless.
    You never cease to amaze me Becca you are a treasure chest of crafty gems.

    Good evening, Becca. Oh my, I had to do a double take to make sure I was in the right blog- definitely not your usual style but extremely eye-catching, nevertheless. It’s the sort of card you have to look at again and again it’s so striking and with such an unusual layout.ReplyCancel

  • Linda EJune 20, 2009 - 5:10 pm

    Fabulous stamp made more fabulous by your terrific coloring! Just curious, how do Tombow markers differ from Copics?ReplyCancel

    wow – what a fab stamp. this is stunning!ReplyCancel

  • Mitra FriantJune 23, 2009 - 8:28 am

    OMG Becca! This is beyond gorgeous! I was so stumped by that image that I almost didn’t choose it when I selected artwork but I thought it was cool looking. You made it just so beautiful. I’m in awe of your talent!ReplyCancel

  • CaroleAugust 26, 2009 - 1:30 pm

    I was not interesting with this stamp when I saw it the very first time but with your card, I know how is can be used, you’ve done a miracle …

    Great atwork Becca.

    La première foisque j’ai vu ce tampon je ne voyais pas quoi en faire, mais maintenant je sais comment il peut être utilisé. Tu as fait un miracle Becca. Très joli travail.
