Spellbinders Thank You Blog Hop

 The Gina K Designs team would like to welcome you to this special Spellbinders Thank You Blog Hop.  Recently Spellbinders generously gifted each member of our Design Team with the amazing new Grand Calibur. What an exciting gift for sure and we are enjoying this fabulous machine! We have made some special cards and projects to showcase the new Grand Calibur.   Thank you so very much Spellbinders!!! 

The Grand Calibur makes die-cutting and embossing a breeze and LOVE that you can die-cut nearly an entire 8 1/2 x 11-inch sheet of cardstock at one time!  Completely changes the die-cutting experience and makes it oh so much better :o)

 

If you came from Janice's blog you are in just the right spot and if not...be sure to start at the very beginning HERE.  

Our theme today is Spring and for my card I used Ivory and Sweet Mango cardstock and the GKD stamp sets Smile, Spring Mix, and Framed Greetings.  I used Fleur de Lis Doily Accents Spellbinders dies and  when I saw these at CHA...I just knew I needed them as soon as possible!

Spellbinders is an amazing company that has changed the way I paper craft and so much for the better.  It is a rare thing when I create a card without a Spellbinders die of some sort and I can't thank them enough for this amazing machine!!  THANK YOU!

Next stop on the hop...the uber talented LEE...

Blessings,

Wonderful

This past weekend was VSN over on SCS and I was thrilled to be able to participate in a few of the challenges.  I made this card for the first challenge which was a sketch... and immediately thought of  the Labels One Spellbinders dies.  For cutting and embossing, I used the Grand Calibur from Spellbinders.  The square labels were such a breeze to die-cut and emboss.   The Grand Calibur cuts perfectly (no need to run through twice because some detail didn't get fully cut...will show more one that soon) and when you go to emboss, embosses deeply the very first run through!  The butterflies are from the Layers of Color stamp set Flutterescent.  I cut each one out and popped them up on a glue dot.  The patterned paper is Echo Park Springtime.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,
