It’s time to post on the Spellbinders blog today. This week’s theme is to show you “Things you can do with the Grand Calibur”. For me it’s mostly cutting paper and cardstock, but today I pulled out bottle caps that had been in my stash for quite a while and used them as part of a Christmas Ornament.
I hope you have time to check out the entire ornament and the step by step instructions on the Spellbinders Blog. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

I created this card for a Free For all Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. We were to create a card with fall leaves. I had seen so many negative die cuts on Pinterest and love the look. I decided to create a card like that for this challenge.
A piece of 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut and embossed with one of the Spellbinders Foliage dies. A piece of BBP All Hallow’s Eve patterned paper was adhered behind it before the layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Kraft cardstock.
A sentiment from JustRite Stamper’s Antique Autumn Tags One was stamped in Jet Black Archival Ink to the lower left of the layers. A button was tied on with Linen Thread before the layers were adhered to the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Solar White cardstock, folded in half. Three black Rhinestones were adhered to the top right to finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

The first challenge from last weekend’s Virtual Stamp Night was to create a card with Note book paper. The paper we have at home was really thin, so I first adhered a piece of copy paper behind it to give it a bit more stability. Then I cut and embossed it with a die from Spellbinders Office Supplies set. Next I stamped an image from MFT My Favorite Sentiments in Jet Black Archival Ink on the lower right of the layer. It was adhered to the lower right of the card base, a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of cardstock, folded in half with the bottom corners rounded.
Black, Berrylicious and White cardstock were cut with Banner Day Die Die-namics and adhered on top of each other. Three hearts from Tag You’re It stamp set were stamped in Ladybug Memento Ink on white cardstock, cut out and taped to the center of each banner piece. Rhinestones in between each banner piece and one in the sentiment finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful Monday!

The square was adhered to kraft cardstock, cut and embossed with the largest Label Twenty-Six die.
Vintage Christmas Paper was cut and embossed with the second smallest Grand Square Nestabilities die. The edges were sanded and stitched before it was adhered to white cardstock, cut and embossed with a Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die. A 2 1/2″ x 4 5/8″ piece of Vintage Christmas paper was sanded and adhered diagonally over the card front. A paper doily was adhered to the lower left corner and the image layers were adhered to the center of the layers with foam adhesive squares. Glitter was glued over the snow with Glossy Accents, and sparkle was added to the wings with Frost Smooch Glitz.
Snowflakes were cut and embossed out of white cardstock, stacked with foam adhesive squares and topped with Vintage Glass Glitter Shards. They were added to the edges of the image. Green seam binding was tied into a double bow and topped with a button to be placed to the lower right side of the image.
A sentiment from the new Holiday Notables 2 was stamped in Tuxedo Black on white cardstock. It was cut out and adhered to the lower right of the card front. A piece of Fancy That! Border Bling on the top left finished off the card front. It was then adhered to the card base, white cardstock, folded in half and cut and embossed with the same Grand Scallop Square Nestabilities die.
