Delicate Flourished Fretwork Card - Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace

Fretwork Collection from Spellbinders - Designed by Becca Feeken

Spellbinders has given me an opportunity to spotlight a new Amazing Paper Grace collection designed by Becca Feeken, Flourished Fretwork.  This die set is called  Flourished Fretwork - Ornamental Valance.  

 This collection has all the grace and delicate beauty the name implies.

I used Little Birdie's Watercolor Floral Ballet paper collection for a  Spring lift.  We are still battling the chilly weather where I live and it makes me smile to create something with Spring hope. 
  

Here are a few of the other dies in Spellbinders Flourished Fretwork collection:

Adhesive Tip for Delicate Die Cuts
I've been searching for adhesive to use on these delicate dies.  As crafters know, one glue does not do it all. There's room for a multitude of glue bottles in the craft room (figuratively speaking). 
But for these dies, I need to be in control - not my globby glue.   

I believe I found the perfect glue for many reasons; 
 * it has a small has a super small applicator tip dispensing the tiniest drop of glue
* the glue isn't runny, doesn't get stringy
* doesn't glob
* dries crystal clear
*doesn't warp my die cuts
*doesn't get all over everything and remain super sticky

Hello Nuvo - Deluxe Adhesive, I think I love you...

Whimsical and Wild Collection - Spellbinders and Jane Davenport

Whimsical and Wild Collection - Spellbinders and Jane Davenport

 Hello crafty friends. Spellbinders provided me with a wonderful opportunity to showcase Jane Davenport's new Whimsical and Wild collection.  This collection, and especially the stamp used today, speaks to my heart because I adore cats of all sizes -even the wild ones.  
My cards today use the Best Leopard Clear Stamp Set from Whimsical and Wild and the background on one card using Richelieu Square Dies from Flourished Fretwork by Becca Feeken, also a new collection.

I have two cards created using the Best Leopard  stamp.  The black card was stamped on watercolor paper and colored with watercolor paints.  My set of watercolor paints is very basic but still quite fun.  

After coloring and cutting out the image I mounted onto foam for dimension.  My paper choice is Graphic 45 - Farmhouse Collection -Paper Pad, which made for a perfect blend.  I love how the cat  seems rise out of the colored flowers.

Both cards today have also been embellished using sequin accents from Buttons Galore (Metallic  Shaker Mix sequins). 

TIP for Picking up sequins:  If you want a reliable and easy way to pick up small sequins, beads and crystals, I have the "triple threat".  Haaaaaaa  - this includes glue that dries clear, is sticky and has a small applicator tip allowing for the tiniest drop of glue - the applicator that effortlessly picks up sequins and beads, and of course the sequins and beads.  

The three products below have made me a super happy sequin person.

The background of the yellow card was made with Richelieu Square Dies Flourished Fretwork by Becca Feeken.  It's beautiful  and makes a wonderful backdrop for the leopard.

I stamped the image on specialty stamping paper using the Misti stamping tool (can't live without)  and Spellbinders/FSJ's Cocoa Powder Ink Pad.  I love this ink because it has a rich warmth and great coverage.
