Spellbinder and Xyron Design Team Project.

Hey Crafty Peeps!!! Cool air has rushed in here in Tennessee. The smells of Tobacco Barns and the vibrant colors of mums and pumpkins decorate the scenery. This has put me in the Fallish mood to bring to you a fabulous Card tutorial Using dies from Spellbinders and of course my Favorite Adhesive Xyon!! Below is a Step out tutorial I have created for you to show you how the process of this card came about. So come set a spell get warm and get inspired!!!

Supplies:
Spellbinders Nestabilities Majectic Squares
Xyron Creatopia Shapez Die By Spellbinders
Xyron Create Sticker Max
Xyron Create a Sticker 3"
Cardstock
Glitter
Pop Dot
Ribbon
Vintage Photo which is provided below!

Step 1 As you see in the photos above. You are going to prepare your image and your frame for the image. For the Frame I cut it out with black cardstock. Ran it through my Xyron Sticker Maker 3" then I added Black Glitter then I ran it back through so I could make it a sticker to be placed around the photo. To prep my photo I ran it through the same Sticker Maker and placed it on a piece of Chipboard for added strength. The Frame is from the Xyron Creatopia Shapez Die By Spellbinders

Step 2: you will cut out 3 styles of paper. From the photo above, I used a base cardstock, the corrugated piece and a pattern piece. They all measure. Base Card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2  the Corrugated is 5 1/8 x 5 1/8 pattern piece 4 3/4 x 4 3/4. Run the Corrugated piece through the Xyron Create a Sticker Max.

Step 3: While the corrugated piece is still on the sticker paper, Use the cool NEW tool set from Core'dinations called Sand it Set and make the edges rough and torn.

Step 4: Cut out from using the Spellbinders Majestic Squares dies  in black cardstock. I used Silver Rub n Buff to give a old look. Pop Dot your photo onto this piece. and begin layering and added embellishements!! As see above I used Orange Glitter to bring out the Pattern Piece and to give the card more sparkle! Dont forget to run the pattern piece that is now glittered through your Xyron Create a Sticker Max to make it easy to peel and stick to build the card. SEE PHOTOS BELOW!!

The Haunted photo I used:

I want to wish you a fabulous HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I hope this card has given your inspiration to create some awesome and festive cards for all your friends this season!! Please be sure to comment below and let me know what you think!!! Again thank you for stopping by for another fabulous creation,

Perfect Paper Crafting/Xyron Blog Hop

Hey Crafty Peeps!!! Yep I'm Back for another fabulous 6 months of Awesome projects to share with you!!

It is a no fuss approach to turning your markers into a Airbrush!! I was oober excited to work with this tool. Below is a quick mini tutorial showing what I did and how I used my Tim Holtz Markers to create this amazing FALL card!!! Before you scroll down be sure that you have begun the BLOG HOP by visiting the XYRON BLOG each day this week!!

BEGIN BLOG HOP HERE: http://aintshecrafty.blogspot.com/



Step 1: I found a free clipart image and or you can use a stamp of a tree with some leaves. I then pulled out some Fallish colors in my Tim Holtz Markers and began to play with the Perfect Airbrush. I began manually airbrushing different colors on the tree to give it that multicolored Fallish look!

Step 2: Using one of my Favorite XYRON 5" Creative Sticker Max I inked the edges of my design and ran it through to create a sticker.

Step 3: I did the same with the other elements of the card to create stickers and I used my XYRON 9" Creative Station to do so!! When you make everything into a sticker it makes is so easy to create. The adhesive is even strong enough to stick to burlap as you see below!!! Yep you can run the burlap through too!!! UMM YES!!!!

Step 4: Adding the few perfect touches of Twine and Burlap made this card perfect for FALL!! I added some Sticker letters and I was done!!!

 Run through the Xyron Creative Station Max 3 pieces of heavy weight cardstock that measures 2 @ 5 1/2 x 4 inches and the center binding pieces at 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Please the adhesive side down on to a piece colored card stock as seen above leaving a gab in between the pieces for easy folding.

 Cover both the inside and outside of the book! Fold the book to help crease the binding!! 

 Cut two pieces of Pattern Paper to place on the inside of the book at 5 1/4 x 3  3/4. Run these through the Xyron Creative Station Max and adhere them inside the books covers. Take a dollar store mini paper pad and mini pin kit and glue them inside the book using liquid adhesive.

 Take the Craftwell Embossing folder and embossing a sheet of paper. ow what I did was cut it down to fit my book and wrapper the book cover showing the butterfly motif int he bottom right corner. I then inked the edges with a rose colored ink.

 I then embossed another piece of paper with the same folder and cut out the butterflies. I then used the Lindys Stamp Gang Embossing Powder and embossed the butter flies. I then glued using liquid glue only the body section down leaving the wings free. I then added a bling trim down the center of the butterflies.

With added finishing touches, I add some metal filagree corners to the top and bottom and drew in the butterfly antennas. I wrapped some ribbon about the book and tied it for closure. See finished design below!!
