I hope you have enjoyed all of the Blog Frenzy reveals from this past week! I know I have really enjoyed seeing what the other design team members have created using the NEW Spellbinders Pendants and Borderabilities die templates!

Now that we have all of the business and rules out of the way I am very excited to reveal the following NEW Spellbinders Pendants and Spellbinders Borderabilities die templates.


S4-208 In Spades Pendant MSRP $24.99
S4-217 In Spades Borderabilities MSRP $19.99


Here's a couple of pictures of the In Spades Pendant die templates. The first picture is showing how you can place the Center die template into the center of the Pendant die template.

The set of In Spades die templates contains a large Pendant, a Center and two Accents. The Pendant die template is approximately 4-1/2 '' x 4'', the Center is 1-3/4'' x 1-1/2'' and the two Accents are 1-1/2'' x 1-1/2''. The detail is amazing and these new Pendant die templates are perfect for layering and adding beautiful dimension to your paper crafting projects!

I have a couple of projects to share with you today. For the first one, I created a card with not only the diecuts from one of the S4-208 In Spades Accents, I also used the drop out pieces to create a flower in the center of the Pendant.



Here is the step-by-step tutorial.



For step # 3 I airbrushed through the Pendant die template. Spellbinders die templates can be used as a stencil and work perfectly for this technique!


As an added bonus the NEW Pendant and Borderabilites die templates have so many drop out pieces from the diecuts that the possibilities for layering and creating are endless.







In step # 10 you will begin to assemble the card.



When I am creating with the Pendant die templates I love to layer and add foam tape, doing this will create even more dimension in my projects.



Step 12: I added the other small Accent piece to the center with a decorative button on top.




I also added some tiny pearls for embellishments to the borders.

Supplies~
Paper~The Paper Company-White, White Shimmer, Light Blue, Light Blue Shimmer
Other~Spellbinders-Wizard, In Spades Pendant S4-208, In Spades Borderabilities S4-217, Copic-ABS, Sketch Marker BG72 Ice Ocean, Creative Impressions-Bits of Bling Pearls, Beacon-ZipDry Adhesive, Joann's-Button, Ribbon, Form Tape

The second project I created is a wedding ensemble of candles and a matching card for the bride and groom.

Here is a close-up picture of the candles. You will want to make sure you stop back by my blog as I will be sharing step-by-step how to make these beautiful candles.



As you see in the card above, I used one of the In Spades Borderabilities die templates that make a decorative cut edge on your cards. Here are a couple of pictures to show you how I place the die template on the cardstock and use repositionable adhesive to hold it in place.



Thank you so much for stopping by and joining in all the fun of the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants Blog Frenzy! I hope you have enjoyed the projects I shared with you today. I hope you have enjoyed all of the projects made by the other Design Team members and the projects still to come!

Smiles!

  65. Candles are intrinsically connected to many events in our lives, such as birthdays, holiday dinners and religious celebrations. Recently, however, candles have become a part of our everyday lives adding warmth style and mood to every room in your home. See how the candles have managed doing this.

  69. A bit late on the scene, just picked up this blog post from a link on Spellbinders blog!

    Those projects are beautiful! I would never think of using the drop-outs as embellishments but they are so effective. I'll be taking a second look at all of the pieces next time I use my Spellbinders!
