Spellbinders Sneak Peek


Today I am revealing my new licensed designs, the new Butterfly Corner set (S5-165) and Ornate Squares set (S5-166). The corner die will allow your creativity soar and the Ornate Squares work perfectly with Spellbinders basic square templates, allowing you to build off the core, expanding your collection's versatility!  


3-D Hanging Snowflake Decoration

Supplies:
Spellbinders dies: S5-166 Ornate Square
green card stock
ribbon
brad
Tombo Mono Adhesive

Instructions:
Using the Spellbinders S5-166 Ornate Square set, use the ornate square to cut 12 square shapes, repeat with an embossing pass, then snip off one corner of each of the 12 square shapes, as pictured. 
Fold in half, so that the cut end is mirrored, and the other end comes to a point.
Fold edge up at an angle as pictured.
Fold the opposing edge as pictured.

Very carefully match up the lace edge of the square with another lace edge of a different square. Continue combining the lace squares until you complete a set of six to form a star-like shape or snowflake. Then repeat this step to create another set of six.


When you have your lace squares combined into sets of six, then cut off most of the lacey edge. Start at about 1/2 inch from the outside, down to about 1/4 inch in the center. Continue all the way around the circle until all are trimmed, then trim the other set of six that you glued together.
Now we will combine the two snowflake shapes. Carefully line up the inside edge of one snowflake with the other, then glue each of the edges to combine both snowflakes.

Each point of the snowflake should look like this when combined.

Now you have your combined snowflake. Lets add a little embellishment.
With the Ornate Square set, cut two of the littlest square shapes by running the die through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur, then switch to the embossing plates and run it through to emboss.
Next combine the two squares by interweaving the corners. 
Cut and emboss the flower shape, then add that to the center of the interweaved squares.

Now add a brad to the center, and feed it through the snowflake.
Add a ribbon to hang it up, and enjoy!


Here is another card using the S5-166 Ornate Square that also features a coordinating stamp from my JustRite stamp collection:
