Hi there dear blog friends, I hope you are enjoying Sneak Peek: Spellbinders™ Summer Spectacular as much as I am… And haven’t the designers made some beautiful projects? But don’t forget there’s a lot more to come so be sure and check Spellbinders blog for the schedule, and links here.
Today I’m excited to share the new S4-370 Blossom Five die template. You know I love making flowers, and this die can make some beautiful blooms for sure. The flowers on today’s projects have more dimension than flowers I’ve made in the past, and now this one is my favorite for sure. When you start making them they are very similar to the flowers I’ve made in the past, but more durable. I did create a video showing how the flowers were made, with lots of pictures at the end of both finished projects.

Linda
Posted by: Linda W. | June 26, 2012 at 07:50 AM
Your blossom is simply beautiful, as is the flower box project.
This is one of the first projects for which i have ALL the components (except the not-yet for sale spellbinders die...) Yay for polymer clay and jewelry making!
NOTE: The PLIERS are called "round-nose" pliers; jewelers use them to coil wires and make loops. and now, paper-crafters use 'em to make very realistic looking blooms. TFS!
