I have provided a step-by-step video showing you how I created my project using the beautiful and versatile Spellbinders Nestabilities® Decorative Elements S5-090 Romantic Rectangles.
Supplies used for my first project:
Image: The Bride – The Old Design Shop.
Spellbinders™: New S5-090 Romantic Frame, New Donna Salazar Bitty Blossoms, Floral and Stone Impressabilities ™, Labels Four SM.
Cardstock: Whisper White – Stampin’ Up!
Stamp Pad: Old Paper Ranger Distress Ink – eclectic Paperie.
Misc.: Foam Tape, Self Adhesive Pearls – The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. Beacon Zip Dry Paper Glue. 3D Glue Dots – eclectic Paperie. Lace – JoAnns. Pergamano Embossing Mat A5.
For my second project starting from the bottom up, I used two layers of Very Vanilla cardstock, and distressed the edges. With Spellbinders Grand Calibur®, and S5-090 Romantic Rectangles #4 die template, I cut/embossed Prima's Pixie Glen cardstock for the next layer. I made the next two layers the same as the previous ones, except I used the Romantic Rectangles #3 die. Using the Slate stamp pad, and JustRite's Kindness stamps, I stamped the image then cut/enbossed Spellbinders Labels Twenty die template, that coordinates with the image size. Now cut/emboss the Standard Circles SM, and stamp the sentiment. The two little roses were made by cutting/embossing two of the Standard Circles Nestabilities, draw a spiral circle starting from the outside edge to the center, cut on the line, and roll with a quilling tool. The final step is to place a 3D Glue Dot on the flower center, and tie your pretty bow.
Supplies used for my second project:
Stamps: Kindness – JustRite Cling – JustRite Stampers.
Stamp Pads: Slate Ranger Adirondack Dye Pad – eclectic Paperie.
Cardstock: Very Vanilla – Stampin’ Up!, Pixie Glen Collection 8” X 8” Paper Stack by Prima – scrapbooking.com.
Spellbinders™: S5-090 Romantic Rectangles, Standard Circles SM #3, Labels Twenty #3.
Ribbon: May Arts ½” Wrinkle Ribbon – The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
Misc.: Foam Tape. Diamond Stickles, 3D Glue Dots – eclectic Paperie.
Here is the new die I introduced:
Sku Name S5-090 Romantic Rectangles
MSRP: $24.99
DIE SIZES:
1. 1 ¼ x 1”
2. 2 7/8 x 1 7/8”

Thanks again and keep up the good work with your beautiful cards.
