When you start doing some serious scrapbooking or cardmaking, you see quickly that the possibilities are endless. I had the pleasure of purchasing a new machine this week that cuts and embosses shapes. It is called the Spellbinders Grand Calibur. In the card above, you see the shapes that the snowflake is on? That is three separate cuts of three papers that nest together; each one a little larger than the last. This is my first project that I completed with the new machine. Another new to me product is the super fine sparkle glitter that I added to the snowflake after I stamped it. I used Close To My Heart's Liquid Glass (Z679, $6.95) to add the glitter. It dries completely clear and is easy to use in the space and thickness you desire. I cut my 5 x 7 card from CTMH White Daisy cardstock, then embossed another white rectangle panel with my CuttleBug machine using the snowflake embossing folder. I added white satin ribbon taped to the back of the rectangle and then adhered it to the card. Then I cut the three shapes at one time on the Grand Calibur using the "Labels One" dies. I used foam tape to "pop-up" the three labels from each other. I used two stamp sets for the front of the card. The large snowflake is from New Fallen Snow (D1171) and the "Merry Christmas" and circle is from Tag The Occasion (B1362).
Inside, I used two other stamp sets, Snow Flurries (D1384) for the snowflake and Peace On Earth (D1243) for the sentiment. This is a simple to make, but absolutely beautiful card. Take advantage of the tools that are on the market, especially at Holiday Season prices. They can really make your work SPARKLE!!
