How 'bout A Few Quickie Cards?

Just had a few minutes to spare so I thought I would post a few more of the cards for the Spellbinders POTW show on Friday .  I picked these two cards because both are wonderfully simple and quick and easy as well, but I think both cards have a lovely appeal.  The large ornament was made using the largest die in that set and gold metal, which is on the show too.  I cut out the ornament (that may be the American word for the English "bauble", not certain, though), then ran it through an embossing folder to put the musical design on to it.  I won't be able to demo that one because we don't have embossing folders on the show, but hopefully you will be able to see the varied potential of these lovely ornament/bauble dies.  I am planning to demo the other card as I feel it is one of those cards that gives you stunning results with very little effort or time.  Just to give you a quick reminder the POTW show starts off on Friday at noon, then Saturday at 9am and Sunday at 8am and 2pm with Jo Channon and my last live show is Monday at 8am.  There are four brand new never seen nestibility bundles and one other bundle that was very popular from the last Spellbinder's show from which to pick.  I really hope you like what you see!  All for now, Sue x

  32. Fabulous, particularly the bird. It was also a great tip about rubbing the metal with the alcohol ink blender. I had no idea that it takes the colour off.
