I cannot believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner! The leaves are almost all gone and Gilli_ShowGal_xmas_closeup the cool breeze is setting in…hum…hum…It is starting to look a lot like Christmas! So why not start creating for this magical season? My inspiration came from the delicate details of the Spellbinders™ Lacey square die and the regal feel of the matching stamps from StampingScrapping. I was so thrilled when the golden shine was revealed after I heat embossed the stamped image! I thought to myself…”Wow! What a duo!”. My next step was to dress up Gilli stamp (Gilli Show gal) with all the frills this upcoming season requires: ). I think she could try for Rockette this year don’t you think?  ; )
  Sparkles, fluffs, glitter and glamour : ) was brought together to hopefully inspire you to make magic happen! If I were you… I definitely try to create your own pattern zigzagging a piece of ribbon through your Lacey square die!!! It is so easy! I bet your imagination will Gilli_ShowGal_xmasjust fly! Don’t forget the StampingScrapping matching stamps to kick another notch, add a Gilli stamp and voila! A unique little memento was made with love for your dearest one!
Happy hop! Happy Holidays everyone!

A Lacey Circle Card and Tutorial

This is a card I made with the new Stamping Scrapping Designs Lacey Circles Set. These stamps are made to work with the Spellbinders circle and lacey circle dies. So here is the card I made with this set. I want to walk you through how simple it is to get them to work so perfectly together.

On this card I did the steps shown below, and then matted my circle onto a lacey circle die. I went over the design and the text with a copic spica pen to add some shine and then finished it off with some Irock bling. Now here are the steps to get you started using these fabulous stamps on your projects!!!

The first step is to stamp one of the borders on your paper. Then you lay the die over it to get the placement you want. You can use the hope method and hope it doesn't move around while cutting or, you can use some removable tape like eclipse tape to hold it in the right position. I think the eclipse tape is the better way to go personally.


After I had it positioned correctly, I ran it though my Cuttlebug with the A plate, B plate paper and the die over the design with the cutting side down then the C plate on top. After you run it though the Cuttlebug, it will come back out and the paper will be kind of stuck in the die. Turn it over and place it face down on your Cuttlebug A plate.

Then you make an embossing sandwich. You place the die with the paper face down on the A plate, the embossing mat, one B plate, something to use as a shim ( I use some old spellbinders packaging) and the other B plate. Roll it through the Cuttlebug. It may be a little tight because of your shim, but it's ok as long as you are not forcing it too hard. You don't want to break
that little guy.
When the die and the paper come out, it will look like this.

The design fits perfectly just inside the embossed area of the die.

Now, what I like to do is sand the circle so the embossing shows up even better, you could also ink around it or use some chalk to make the embossing really pop.

Here is a picture of my sanded version. It calls a little more attention to the fact that the die is embossed.
The last thing to do was stamp a sentiment in the middle of the design. This was so easy to do because the stamps are clear and you can get perfect placement with them.
