Sunday Drive Through America - Cards Using Spellbinders Dies
Spellbinders has some new dies that are fun, festive and fabulous.
Just how festive? Let's take a look.
I created a card to celebrate our upcoming Memorial Day holiday
along with the strength and resilience of our beautiful country.
These cards feature two new dies from Spellbinders; Spellbinders Sunday Drive Dies and Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Strip Etched Dies.

Spellbinders Sunday Drive Die was so much fun to use. The possibilities are endless:
New Drivers
Sports cars
Luxury Cars
This card also uses some other cool embellishing products, like Buttons Galore's - 3D Silver Stars Buttons and Buttons Galore - Stars Stripes shaker mix. The sequins and stars from the shaker mix are prefect little finishing touches.

I want to showcase some tools I've fallen in love with when using die cuts and sequin/shaker mixes. The following tools have made my crafty life a bit more enjoyable by helping control the small bits and pieces.
Glue for small bits and pieces: First - let me tell you I have searched high and low for glue that has a precision tip for use on the most delicate die cut pieces and smallest sequin embellishments. It's gotta dry crystal clear and have amazing holding power. It cannot glob or be runny and warp the paper.
Voila! I bring you Nuvo - Deluxe Adhesive. Absolutely a game changer for me because I am in total control with no sticky residue, no stingy glue strings, and amazing gripping power.
Pick-up Tools: This is another area where I frankly struggled. I bought a few other pick-up tools and wasn't super thrilled until I tried the Crystal Ninja CRYSTAL KATANA -Pick Up Tool.
The black tip is wax and helps grip the smallest piece to enable perfect controlled placement - with no black wax residue. Sequins? no problem. Gems? under control. Ity bity die cut pieces? a snap.
