Jan. 20 ME!!
Winners will be announced on Spellbinders Blog: http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog Winner of the Grand Prize Drawing will be announced on Spellbinders Blog on January 30th. So be sure to check it out then!
So, I guess you want to see the new dies, right?? Well feast your eyes on these beauties:
DIE NAME: SM Deckled Mega Rectangle
DIE SKU # S5-014
MSRP $24.99
Aren’t they fabulous?! I love the deckled edge, and how it gives that “torn” look. When I first saw them, I just knew I would be using my Copic airbrush system, in addition to some Distress ink and a sponge. The largest of the SM Deckled Mega Rectangle die template (SKU # S5-014) measures 6 x 2 7/8 and the smallest measures 2 x 7/8.
My first project uses two different sizes of the dies:
I love the way the deckled edge takes the ink for sponging/distressing. If you are someone that doesn’t like the way your torn edges come out, this is the die set for you! Or, if you like the torn look, but it’s just a little “too messy” for you…this is the die set for you! Here’s a close-up:
These dies lend themselves perfectly for masculine designs, but are versatile enough to be used for feminine designs as well. This next project illustrates that, and is paired with the Copic airbrush system:
These dies allow you to create lovely layers, as well! Don’t you just love the look? I sure do. You can see that I left the die in place before airbrushing the sky. That process produces a clean white edge, as you can see in the photo. Here’s a close-up:
While I use the Wizard with my dies, it is equally easy to use Spellbinders dies with other die cutting machines, too! Check out these videos on the Spellbinders’ website: http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/videos
OK the projects are fine and dandy, but here’s what you are *really* after.
