I've made a circle card today by layering Spellbinders circle die cuts and their Lotus Pendant die which I've been itching to use since I got it. I changed the best wishes circle sentiment to a bright pink, printed it then cut it out with another spellbinders circle die and popped some mini black gems into the middle of the little flowers.

Hello, I've a brights pack of Gingham papers today and a cute little post-it note & pen holder I made with one of the 10 colours. One thing I found while playing with this paper pack is that it's best (with my printer at least) to leave the printer settings on my regular settings for text and copy paper to keep the colours bright as the more saturated the colour gets, the darker the shade.
I found my post-it notes and mini gel pens in my local pound shop, I got 4 thick post-it note pads for my pound and a pack of 15 pens, got to love a bargain! One of the post-it notes pads were green so I chose the lime green paper from the gingham pack to match.
The green card stock measures 7 1/2 x 3 1/4, scored at 3 1/2, 3 7/8 & 4 1/4. Cut between the outer 2 score lines at 3/4, 1 1/8, 2 1/8 & 2 1/2 with a paper trimmer or craft knife. Fold your score lines and make the smaller of the large panels the front face, popping up the sections to hold the pen as shown in the picture you can use some strong tape to hold down the other sections that lie behiond the pen. The frame on the front was made by combining a spellbinders scallop circle die with an inverted scallop circle die.
Here is your pack of Bright Ginghams, there are 10 colours included in the pdf:
Gold, Orange, Red, Pink, Violet, Purple, Blue, Aqua, Green, Lime Green

I had a request for some general use ovals so I've made some with different border patterns which are also Nestability compatable if you have the Spellbinders Classic Ovals small or large. Just insert the image into Word and size to match the particular die you are using (making sure not to distort the proportions). Hope you like them :)

Hi :)
I've just watched the final of Project Runway (don't worry, you won't get any spoilers from me) and I'm so pleased with the result because the person who I have been rooting for all season won. I absolutely loved all of their designs throughout the competition, they really appealed to me.
I had a request for more generic sentiments in frames so here's one for you and I'll do some more soon, also I have another pack of papers in the pipeline and then I'll get back to some digi stamps, it's all go :)
I printed todays sentiment in blue and cut with a spellbinders square die then layered with some blue card squares and incorporated 2 fancy tags which I criss crossed. I used a border stamp set from Technique Tuesday to form a frame on my backing sheet and embossed in white then punched 2 ribbon slots with a Tonic ribbon punch and laced in some white ribbon.
clicky on the digi ;)

Hello! It's a lovely bright day here, I hope you are experiencing the same wherever you are :)
I have a new pack of papers for you today which is a set of 10 Pastel Ginghams and I chose the purple gingham paper for my DVD envelope today. I have done some experimenting with printing these papers and if you leave your printer settings to a text & copy paper setting they will come out with a lovely subtle and pale shade but if you change your printer settings to an image setting it will come out a shade darker which I did here.
Here is the link to the video showing how I make my cd/dvd envelopes and the Template I use. I used a 8 x 1 1/8 inch strip of co-ordinting purple card stock wrapped around the filled envelope then stuck with tape to make my belly band. I tied a bow in some white twill over it and added a little tag made from spellbinders petite ovals and an eyelet which is threaded through my bow with some ribbon. I think it makes sending a disc to someone a little bit more special.
Here is your set of Pastel Ginghams, there are 10 colours included in the pdf:
Soft Grey, Faded Denim, Baby Blue, Spring Green, Moss Green, Lemon Yellow, Tangerine, Baby Pink, Lilac Purple & Tea.
