Valentines Birthday Card - Spellbinders APG of the Month - Feb. 2020 with Video instructions

Graceful Heart Card  - Spellbinders APG for Feb.  

Today I am sharing a card made using Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace (APG) Die of the Month  of February paired with the  with the hearts from Spellbinders Large Die of the Month  from January and  the gorgeous cheery Little Street Cafe paper collection by Maja Design of Sweden.  

Delicate and graceful - that's the signature look for Spellbinders APG (Amazing Paper Grace dies) created by Becca Feeken. 

This set is very cool and is a sort of slider /pop-up card

Scroll down to see a quick video from Spellbinders showing one way to use this die. 

In addition to the collection, I used the companion monochrome collection, Shades of Cafe, a set of solid cardstock created to perfectly match the patterned paper.

How To Make a Shadowbox Valentines Set - DIY Tutorial

Todays I'd like to share a Valentine's gift set created using a combination of my favorite products - Spellbinders dies, Maja Design papers and embellishing accents from Creative Embellishments. 

  

  My gift card set  has two elements, a decorative shadow box frame and a matching card.  The shadowbox frame was created with a cool new die from Spellbinders and Becca Feeken -   Spellbinders Adjustable Shadowbox Frame 1/2 inch - Becca Feeken. 

Watch Becca Feeken's Video Tutorial...

 If you scroll down, I added a link to Becca Feeken's video tutorial on YouTube.  

The coolest thing about these frames is that they are totally adjustable and can be made in any size you desire.    

I paired the dies with the gorgeous raspberry pinks in the Maja Design Summertime collection . Below is a look at the papers I used for the Shadowbox.

Flowers Everywhere (B side)

The beautiful flirty bicycle image is from the die cut sheet in the Summertime collection.  

See those darling wood veneer hearts?  Those are from Creative Embellishments wood veneer hearts and I simply adore them because they are "conversation hearts" that I turn backwards so they become "all occasion" hearts.  

The flowers were custom made using another Spellbinders die, Spellbinders Cinch and Go IV Shadowbox (Flowers) by Becca Feeken - 

to customize and perfectly coordinate my project.

Next I made a matching card to accompany the Shadowbox Valentine.  

The card was made using the following Maja Design Summertime papers and the delicate Spellbinders Lace Hearts die.  Yes it's a very simple card and still graceful.

Heart Cards Soooo Sweet - With Spellbinders Dies

The Sew Sweet Collection By Spellbinders (Part 2)

I've been playing with the newest releases at Spellbinders.  This card features a die from the Sew Sweet collection by Tammy Tutterow.   This is Part 2 of my posts using this die.    You can see Part 1 here.  

The Sew Sweet Valentine by Tammy Tutterow 

is fun,  a bit quirky as it sits slightly off center and absolutely sweet ( as the name, Sew Sweet implies).

The off-centered nested hearts give the die collection such charm.  

As you can see above, the collection comes with an assortment of dies for embellishing your projects.  I took full advantage of this to add some darling vines and leaves to cluster  around my simple layered flower.  

I also used the banner die from the collection and layered that as well for shadowing. 

The little "love" tag came from Stamperia's Old Lace 12x12 paper that I used on this project.  

This is the inside of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet Valentine  card. 

Because I used the dark brown cardstock, the inside of the card needed a layer of lighter cardstock for the personal sentiment.   

 As I mentioned , the paper I am using Stamperia's Old Lace 12x12 paper collection.  I'm really loving this paper.
