Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop showcasing the Vintage Treasures Collection by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders. You should have reached me from the blog of Hussena Calcuttawala. I have included a list of all of the participants at the end of my post.
To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 14th 11:59 pm EDT. The winners will be announced in the blog hop post the following Monday. Winners are responsible for shipping cost, duties, and taxes.
According to the dictionary: vintage (adj): of old, recognized, and enduring interest, importance, or quality; treasure (noun): something of great worth or value; a collection of precious things. With these definitions in mind, I incorporated pearl and metallic accents, as well as traditional color schemes, on my projects. At the same time, I stayed true to my CAS style in the designs. Let’s take a look!
My first two projects use the Brillante Rondelle set. I have used the same design, varying the colors, to show how easy it is to change the project simply based on the color scheme. For both cards, which measure 5 1/2″ square:
- I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut the panel with the detail and outline dies in the Brillante Rondelle set.
- I cut cardstock with the outline die for the panel underneath the sentiment section.
- I cut the outside circle with the detail and outline dies. I cut the piece underneath with the outline die only.
- I cut the flowers with dies included in the Floral Tiara Topper set. On one I added pearls to the flower centers. On the other I punched circles with a hole punch from gold cardstock.
My next set of cards feature the Marquise Diamond Pendant set.
For both cards:
- I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut with with both the detail and outline die in the diamond shape.
- I cut the solid panel with just the outline.
- I adhered the pieces together and embellished with a detail die included in the set.
My final card combines dies from the Bella Luce Oval and the Floral Tiara Topper sets.
- I cut the tiara shape with the detail and outline dies twice.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with one of the oval dies in the Bella Luce Oval set. I cut the oval frame with the detail die and the outline.
- I assembled the pieces on a gold base.
- I added pearls to the tiara shape and flowers to the oval.
Thanks so much for stopping by! The hop continues over at the blog of Mallika Kejriwal.
