Die Cutting #26: Loving Wishes Card and Enhancing Elements dies from Spellbinders

[@handley2645mh]

I showed my husband a picture in a magazine and told him, 'I want to make cards like this. Get me this for Christmas and I can'. So he bought me the Grand Caliber and a bunch of dies, but I just didn't get where I wanted to be. I have learned a lot from You Tubers such as Christina Griffeths but they just tell you what dies they use then just make the card. Something was still missing. You are the first person who actually showed how you mix, match, play, and design with both the paper and the complex dies before you finally make you card. Thank you for teaching me the process. Now I can make my husband a the Valentines card that I have always wanted to make. Thank you again.

thank you, Margaret! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Be sure to share photos of your cards, i'd love to see them!

[@NancyLynn]

I feel exactly the same way about Yana as you do Margaret! She teaches us....that's the big difference between her tutorials and many others. Happy crafting Margaret!

[@viola-suzieq]

Beautifully done! Love this card.

[@TheJoogsie]

Firstly, beautiful card ! Anyone can see that,just stunning. You really showed useful hints to me as to how to use my dies and set out a card. You presented your video in a relaxed free and easy manner that was a pleasure to listen to. I will be back to listen to more and watch you create more lovely cards. Thanks for the effort it takes to make a video like this and post it online.

I love your work. I am learning what the different dies are for and how to combine them. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to viewing more of your work.

[@theoamy1]

This is really a great use of the different dies together. Thanks for the inspiration!

This is a beautiful card, I love how you lay everything out and mix and match from your supplies of dies. I understand completely about having a card 'recipe' and it makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing. Patti

[@CafecreativoIt]

amazing video!

[@johnoldenborg3110]

BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE THE RECIPES I HAVE MOST OF THE ENHANCING DIES YOU USED. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME THE SPELLBINDERS BORDER DIE YOU USED? I COULD NOT FIND IT ON SPELLBINDERS TO ORDER? LINDA

[@Yana.Smakula]

Hi Linda! All supplies are listed below the video, just in case you missed it, here's that border die • A2 Bracket Borders One, Spellbinders, S5-181 -- goo.gl/zCxXyr And here's a link to this die on Spellbinders website - www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/products/p-947-a2-bracket-borders-one.aspx I think I have almost all of their border dies, love them all! they are so beautiful and easy to work with, and they make cards really spectacular :)

[@johnoldenborg3110]

Thanks I just made my order. Linda

[@camilledykas6417]

I just ordered these beautiful dies, love this card for mother's day. I'm considering purchasing an Artisan Explorer so I can keep it on my desk. I currently have a Big Shot which takes so much room. Do you use your Artisan for other dies as well besides Spellbinders?

[@Yana.Smakula]

Camille Dykas thank you, Camille! I also use Simon Says Stamp, Neat & Tangled and a few Avery Elle dies in my Artisan Xplorer machine. It really takes so little space! The thick Sizzix (bigz) dies will not fit into this machine, so you'll have to use your Big Shot for those.

[@Canadian693]

Beautiful card, thank you for sharing. I wanted to thank you in Ukrainian, as I love to listen to your Ukrainian videos, but I do not have the Ukrainian keyboard installed on my iPad. Thanks again!

[@petiteliane8607]

je ne parle pas l'anglais comment je fait pour commander sur votre site merci

[@sparkle5ms]

A very lovely card! Loved all the layers of this card how long did it take you make it from start to finish? New Subbie btw.

[@YanaSmakula]

thank you, sparkle5ms! I can't remember exactly, but it usually takes me about 45 - 60 min to make a card.

[@sparkle5ms]

I find the hardest part is coming up with the design for the card then the rest is easier. Mary katherine

[@Saintly2]

Lovely card but I was sad to say goodbye to those happy hummingbirds.

Piękne!!!

[@2848Adriana]

Hi Yana, I love your card, it is a shame that you coverd up those lovely bird on your background paper, I think that they where very nice birds, but the end result is stunning, Cheers Anna.
