Hello friends
It's Friday and in my crafty world that can only mean one thing...
It's Friday and in my crafty world that can only mean one thing...
I think I over-use the word 'useful' but honestly this is a seriously USEFUL set of dies.
You receive 6 dies in total and if my nature skills were good I could tell you what sort of leaves these are
but for now I'm going to say they are a nice variety!
This is how they look cut/embossed and stencilled.
One of my favourite things to do is to stamp them using a script stamp and this also
looks effective when heat embossed (example coming up....)
Someone last week said she is going to call me the 'tag lady' - this made me laugh and I'm thinking she is absolutely right and I'm going to go with it...so yes, again this week I'm creating a tag!
I've used one of the foliage die templates as a stencil to spritz through with Glimmer Mist.
And, with a little bit of assembling and using the Bauble Blossom One that I created some weeks ago,
I have a finished leafy tag!
And this is the example of the leaves stamped and heat embossed.
Before I go I have something to tell you...
it is Bella's Birthday today - she is 1 year old.
I think that calls for special treats and some new toys.
Here she is the very first day we brought her home.
Have a brilliant weekend dear friends, let's hope we have sun and creative fun!
Take care,

Sorry Christine love all you photos today but my fave has to be, yes you guessed it our Bella.
Happy birthday Bella hope you have some great treats
Morning and Happy birthday Bella. Definitely more doggie treats today I think - cuddles go without saying. Who would have thought that she would be the little celebrity that she has turned out to be. She has so many followers like her Mummy.
To the dies, I have them too and use them quite a lot. Thanks for the ideas re the tags though - brilliant.
Have a lovely weekend - hope the weather bucks up.

Hi Christine, love the tag & the 3 different techniques with the same leaf die. I wasn't sure about spritzing through the die, but it looks amazing once layered up. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Bella, she just makes my heart melt, she is so adorable. Happy Birthday gorgeous little one. I have this die!! I really do not use it enough, so thank you Christine for reminding me to do so. I love your tag, it is beautiful. Crafty hugs, Anne x
No Christine I am sorry but you are just too clever and I want to know how you come up with such brilliant ideas.I have had this set of dies for a while and hardly used them but now guess what I will be using on my next project.
I have these dies Christine and they are so useful, but I have not tried using them as a stencil with a mister. Thanks for the tutorial today, more inspiration for me.
Now I mustn't forget to say a big 'Happy Birthday' to Bella, she is growing into such a pretty dog. Anne x.
Happy Birthday Bella!!!X Great die day today Christine, love what you've done with these dies, Carole Z X
Happy Birthday Bella - lots of doggie treats and cuddles to you!!! Sorry Christine had to do that first - anyway I love the way you have used these dies, I just use one of them usually (the same one each time) to put with flowers. This just goes to show what CAN be done. The tag is so pretty and has given me inspiration (I do need some).
Thanks again and woofs to Bella.
Hugs Sue P xx

Forgot to say Happy Birthday to Bella!!!
Hi Christine happy birthday to bella she's so cute. Loving the foliage die which i have. i not tried to over stamp it before but have used it on patterned papers and it certainly looks stunning. xx hazel
Thanks for the fabulous tutorial and ideas. Bella is adorable- Happy Birthday to her.
Aww happy birthday little Bella! Hope mummy spoils you lol.
Love these dies Christine. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Christine, I look forward to "Friday Die Day". I like the tag ideas you have shared, and the book is beautiful. Give Bella a big Birthday hug. Not too many treats though, ha ha. She was soooo cute as a puppy and so tiny... Hugs Lesley x
Happy birthday Bella, how pretty you look, I hope mummy spoils you rotten.
Fabulous tips Christine thank you.
I love these dies and as you say they are one of the most versatile sets made by Spellbinders.
Have a great day all.
On my blog today, I have done a tutorial with border dies. I have called it 'Grown' borders. It shows how to cut and glue borders to make them deeper and lacier. I hope you can pop by and give me your opinion, I would really appreciate your expert eye.
Don't go eating Bellas cake now! LOL.
Hugs Linda xx
Hi Christine, Wish Bella pup a very happy birthday, bless her.
Thank you for the tips and lovely tag. I agree with you, a very useful set of foliage dies. The other set I find useful are 'Assorted Leaves' esp. when scrapbooking. Have a lovely weekend. Best wishes, Carolyn x
Hi christine, bella looks so cute. Love friday ~ die day its great.

Feel such a fool Christine! Why? It never occured to me to use dies as masks!! and here's me lusting after a cogs mask when I have a set of SB dies that will do the job perfectly. Back to the craft mat methinks... hugs, Buttons x
Hi Christine and happy birthday to Bella,
Great dies and I actually own these so I know how useful they are! Great demo though and stunning samples.
Best wishes
