The next best thing to having an ornament stamp and matching punch is using Spellbinder Circle dies and patterned papers.

Chunky Glitter


I was pleased to learn that chunky glitter is still translucent enough to reveal the stamped image under neath, while giving the card more texture than regular glitter.

Sepia/Black?


The card idea I copied used black ink to stamp the image. I thought sepia might be a good idea, however, I think the black might have worked better with the red and white flower and twine.

Peaceful Dove


This cut out from an old Christmas card lent itself to tiny alpha stickers. The watermelon Bazzill cardstock was a perfect match in colour to the switch in the image.

Who's Driving?!


Here's another card front, which was significantly smaller than a standard card base, so I matted it with black paper. This brought out the character in the image. I'm still debating whether or not a small sentiment should be added to this...

Still Believing


I matched the dark blue cardstock to the dark blue in the card front I took from a commercial card. This enhanced the gold frame around the image.

Scrawny Santa


Can't say I'd buy a die like this again. The many small parts took some time to assemble. The die cuts had to be made several times in order to get the pieces in different colours. Lesson learned.
