Filigree Hinged Card

Dies are wonderful for adding shapes to your cards ... but why not use them to create the base to your card in the first place. Use the decorative edges to the dies to give you something different.

[@joycemalone548]

Christina, you make the most beautiful cards that I have ever seen. They are so beautiful I just get a lump in my chest and want to cry...not from anger, but from awe.

[@DeniseTro]

Good Morning Christnia ,your work is amazing and I love all the your work, i always look forward to your tube video,s. thank you so very much for sharing. im off to order a few of the dies. You do Amazing work and they all are so amazing beautiful.. Have a sunshine day

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Spellbinders are made in the US so you should have them there first.... they usually take a while to get here to the UK. Sometimes they are on a Pre order basis but you will need to shop around for the bargains. I tell you which dies I have used and list them with a photograph on my blog ... Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls ... so if you pop over there you will find the card and the dies used to create it.

[@conniepowell718]

Christina, Your tutorials are WONDERFUL! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your techniques and beautiful cards!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

+Connie Powell You are very welcome .. it is my pleasure. Please visit the blog flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk and my website www.card-making-magic.com for more ideas and tutorials Cxx

[@scrapally27]

OMGosh. those cards are stunning,,,,I am going to have to try a few of them.thanks for sharing.I love love my spellbinders.....

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Carolyn Murtaza ... if you are struggling to make the hinged card then here is an easier way for you to do it..... Cut the card in two separate layers and the take one of them and fold the top back by about half an inch.... add glue to the folded back part and marry the other layer on the top. That way you will create a hinge in the card itself and once opened up a little the card will now stand for you. Hope that helps you Cxx

[@Pheebysmum]

You're a star C :) Wish I'd have found this yesterday :) I made 2 of these & couldn't figure out how to hinge them, so I added a shaped piece of card to connect inside, which meant though they stand up well, I couldn't write inside without creasing the filigree on the top edges :( So happy you posted this :) Thanks so much xxxxx

[@odell2100]

These cards are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing them with us, and especially how you made them. You are so talented and creative--you really have an "eye" for putting the layers together and adding just the right amount of embellishments. Thanks so much! -Stacy

[@craftyness01]

[@bridgette7546]

Beautiful cards!!!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

I get my Spellbinders from many different places ... I go where the bargains are ... but you will find links to the suppliers on my blog Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls ....

[@aquinyc]

So beautiful and the explanation is great. Thanks!!

[@tejinaville]

O.M.G. How gorgeous are these cards, Thank-you so much for sharing and I hope I can make them just as beautiful, just reading some comments and noticed somebody wants to know how your dies come out so clean, well if they use a tumble dryer sheet to wipe the paper first it should work. X X Chrissie.

[@robynwalker1356]

thank you Christine, I really enjoyed watching your tutorial :)

[@loricarter6108]

SIMPLY GORGEOUS!!!

[@bridgette7546]

Absolutely Beautifully done!!! Thank you so much!

[@mreinstein48]

I love all your videos!! More! More!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

I use the Grand Calibur ... I don't have the Cuttlebug ... but you could try adding an extra piece of card as a shim and run it through again as that may help it to cut ... try also turning the die around and moving it to one side of the plates ... hope that helps you xx

[@lfc2230]

Christina, yours is one of two channels I truly get excited about when I see new vids available. Your work is always elegant and creative. I appreciate you. This time I have a question: how do you cover the buttons? If you have a tutorial on that, please let me know. Again thanks.

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

OoooH well done and may it be the first of many that you do xx

[@momofisher2429]

Simply beautiful!

[@paisleypeach44]

absolutely adorable! Thank you for sharing.

[@EpiphanyDLong]

Beautiful! Thank you for Sharing!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

This is a standard joke between my regular followers and myself as I often talk about him on the blog what he is doing. MY husband is affectionatley refered to as my "Film Crew" ... His name is Griff ... and he is the one that films what I am doing. He even has a hat embroidered with Card Making Magic Film Crew ... but he is also the one that has made thie Bow Maker and the Blending Tools both of which are for sale in "MY SHOP" on the C-M-M.com website xx

[@terrieglenn827]

Oh my goodness! All of your cards are gorgeous!! I am wondering what white card stock your using for your filigree cards? I haven't been that interested in making cards but you have inspired me to try making cards. Thanks for sharing and I love your videos!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

You may need to run the die and card through several times for it to cut properly xx

[@mrstraci333]

Very Beautiful!

[@64bamagurl]

Your cards are beautiful! I love the idea of making cards from the spellbinders. You make the best bows I have ever seen. I just c an't get that, mine do not look like yours. Can you do a tutorial on making bows?

[@dorasantos9354]

*****! Uma maravilha!Parabéns! Obrigada pela partilha.

[@EvelynLopez-zc6gd]

Beautiful

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Oooooops soreee .... But I don't make you buy them ... I just sort of give you a little teaser about the dies ... the rest is down to you. Maybe you have some of the same dies as I have and in that case I could do a video using those ... but you will need to let me know which ones you have .... Deal??

[@queenbee2471]

Hi I have loved to watch you make cards now for at least a year. I was wondering what site you get your Spellbinders from. You have so many of them that I have never seen before. Love your cards!

[@deborahdoesscrap]

I love these cards. You always make such beautiful and elegant cards. I love the metallic butterfly paper of the pink and white card. Do you know who makes that paper? TFS. Deborah

[@michelleross7405]

sooo lovely Christina, what is the source of your stunning creations? Indeed you are gifted these cards are as usual yet you seem to create them with little effort.

[@Threepinkrosesstudio]

I just love these filigree cards. I wanted to ask you where you get your variety of flowers--which brands do you recommend--or do you make them yourself. I have just gotten my first rose die, but have not used it yet. Thank you so much for sharing these lovely cards with us!

[@Cynergific]

I love your work, as always. You are so talented. Out of curiosity, who is your "film crew?" :)

[@CarolinaMom000]

Your cards are completely beautiful. Just wondered do you make all of your flowers from paper or do you used ready-made silk flowers? Thanks!

[@BlaizC]

I think these are my favorite cards of all of the ones you've shown us. TFS. On the cards were the center panel is embossed, is that a separate piece of paper that you applied on the front of the hinged cards? If not, how the heck did you do that? I can't figure it out. Thanks.

[@ckimwright]

Your sentiments fit so perfectly inside of the round nestability. Are there stamp companies partnered with Spellbinders?

[@jrupton1]

Gorgeous cards! You are so creative! Where did you find the beautiful lace?

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

If I am posting them then I add bubble wrap to a padded envelope and send them that way ... or you could make a box for them xx

[@ellenhofer3343]

I have to agree with queenbee2471. I have many sources for spellbinders locally and have never seen most of the sets you show. I have checked the spellbinder web site and don't see them there either. Are they so new they aren't in the US yet? I'm hoping the Scrapbook Expo with have a good selection. I love love love your cards. As soon as I get my craft room back in order (I'm painting) I'm going to try these using what I have although not as pretty!

[@021MiiTzZii]

hola una pregunta ,sabe donde podria comprar la makina para hacer los marcos ?? gracias besitos ,aaa se me olvidaa estan muy lindos sus trabajos ,

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

I love your cards. Just trying to work out how to smuggle the dies in house. Im in the uk si what card stock would be best to use.

[@ellenhofer3343]

One other question. Could you list the names of the sets you use in the description. They are very hard to read in the videos and I like to keep a list of those I like in case I can ever find them!

[@dorisgreene4106]

The cards are lovely. I would like the names of the Spellbinder dies that are in the video. This

[@jobo34770]

I love the cards! I'm going to make as many as I can. Where do you get your sentiments? I'm always short on those!

[@ChristinaGriffiths]

Some are digital ... some are stamps and others are from CD's and I add the links to the blog post when the card is featured on flowersribbonsandpearls.blogspot.co.uk

[@tinacovington6601]

Can you tell me how you get the decorative dies to come out so great, especially when you are cutting through a double cardstock hinge piece? I have a Sizzix Big Shot. I love the look of this, but I can't seem to get it to work for me. Thanks.

[@071619571]

Love your videos, the cards are stunning. Love how you have the spellbinders with the original cards. Where did you get the magnetic strips? TFS

[@verenemassing1519]
