More One Day Special Shows on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

Spellbinders Sale One Day Special continues on Hochanda  today with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. I hope you can join me..

I have a simple two-fer to share with you today

I started by cutting the inner die only of the border die from the Spellbinders Octagon Strips & Accents Die Set, at both sides of a piece of Bright White Card. I folded and tucked and matted onto a piece of Aqua Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Circle of Friends Stamp Set (should still be on the Hochanda website at intro price) onto Bright White Card using Watering Can Archival and cut it out using Spellbinders Venetian Motifs. I cut another of the same die out of Aqua Card and glued them together offsetting them.

I assembled the card as shown adding Single White Pearl Strip around the edges and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat. I decided not to add any pearls to the die cuts as I felt it might be too much if I did.

The second part of your two-fer is a gift bag -

I used John Lockwood's method to make the bag -



On an A4 piece of Brilliant White Card – score at 2cm, 4cm, 14cm, 16cm, 18cm and 28cm
This creates all the score lines you need across the landscape card. Turn the card so it is portrait and then score at 4cm.


I'll demo the bits to cut away and how to fold it in the 9am show today.

I cut the border from the Spellbinders Venetian Accents Die Set out of Aqua Card, cut it in half and added half to the front and half to the back of the gift bag.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Venetian Motifs Die Set out of Aqua Card twice and glued them together, offsetting them as I did on the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Meadow Circles Stamp Set onto Bright White Card. I cut it out using a small die from the Venetian Accents Die Set. I cut the die again and glued the 2 together offsetting them and added the sentiment in the centre.

I punched some holes in the top and added some Blue White American Seam Binding. I finished off by adding some 5mm White Pearls.

I'm not stocking any of the Spellbinders dies on the shows as I just can't match the prices on Hochanda but I'm offering 10% off other products I have in stock on website. You can find them here. Offer applies till midnight tonight or while stocks last. Discount will be applied at checkout.

I'll see you at 9am!

Thanks for stopping by.
