Spellbinders Spring Blog Hop and Giveaway Day 6
I’m so excited to be participating in my FIRST Spellbinders™ Blog Hop and Giveaway! Great tools make crafting fast and easy and the Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® Machine and Spellbinders™ Die Templates make scrapbooking a snap! For this color blocked page featuring beautiful blossoms I used the Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities® S5-105 Floral Tags and applied a few techniques.

Cut and emboss. Remove the leaves and the plain tags from the dies. Leave the remaining die cuts in their dies.
Orange Flower Technique:
Apply embossing ink through the die, using it as a stencil. Remove from die and cover with embossing powder. Tap to remove the excess powder and set with the heat tool. Apply Clearsnap fluid chalk ink in peach to the embossed flower. Remove the excess ink from the embossed areas with a damp rag. The embossed area will act as a resist. Set the flower aside.
All Other Flowers Technique:
Select a Clearsnap fluid chalk ink in a color in the same color family as the patterned paper (or use embossing ink if you just want to add some gloss but no color to your design). Apply the ink through the die, using it as a stencil.
Remove die cut from die and add Ultrafine embossing powder. Remove excess and set with heat tool.
Leaf Technique:
Sand the embossed areas and edges of leaves.
Select a Clearsnap fluid chalk ink similar to the color of the paper and ink the sanded areas.
Banner Technique:
Score 5 plain tags in the middle widthwise.
Run through a Xyron adhesive machine.
Fold tags on the score line over a piece of baker’s twine
Crop 2 photos to 3.5 x 3.5 inches. Adhere to a 4 x 12 piece of patterned paper, leaving a 3 inch space between the photos (for the plain photo tags).
Arrange photo strip and plain paper tags as per the project photo and adhere.
Add the banner and floral elements with Elmers 3D foam tape for added dimension.
Fluff the floral elements.
Embellish by adding the title (mist first to add color) and the Classic Scallops die cuts (the top cut is trimmed in length). Add the journaling and accent lines to the design with the brown journaling pen.
And THAT’s it! All that technique and it still took me less than 60 minutes to assemble this page! LOVE THAT!
