Today, I'm hopping with the folks at Spellbinders and Avery Elle! My first card pairs the Spellbinders Diamond Effects dies with Avery Elle's Be Jolly Stamps to create a fun colorful holiday card!
Before I go, I want to share one more quick project that I made using the Spellbinders Exquisite Labels 11 dies and Avery Elle Avery's Alpha dies (that's a mouthful;)! I'm always looking to see how I can pair up dies or stamps to create new, custom combinations. The AE alpha dies happen to fit perfectly into the smallest dies of the Spellbinders set. I backed each reverse cut with a bit of red glitter paper and then used foam tape to adhere them to the card front. To keep the focal point on the die cuts, I kept the background a crisp white. It really lets the delicate die cuts shine, don't you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to leave some comments for chances to win some fun prizes! Check out the Spellbinders community blog and the Avery Elle blog for details!
