Spellbinders Impressabilities Tutorial

If you haven't had the chance to play with the newest Spellbinders' product, Impressabilities, you should! They are a ton of fun and there are so many creative ways to use them. Today I am going to show you how to create a die cut shape that has the Impressabilities image on it. You can see the oval in the card above.

1. Start by die cutting your shape. Leave it in the die.

(see the strange pattern? always place the pattern you want showing down onto the die, in this case the brown is on the other side)

2. Place the Impressabilities down on your cutting mat.

3. Place the die with paper in it, rough side up, onto the Impressabilities.

4. Place the embossing mat over the layers, top with second cutting mat, and run through the machine.

5. Use a sanding block to bring out the impression left behind.

This oval was cut from patterned paper and sanding it revealed its white core. Imagine the possibilites with colored core paper!

Here is a look at the finished oval. Pretty easy, but stunning results!! I wanted to mention that the butterfly on the card was cut from the latest patterned paper from K&Co called, Madeline. hope you have a wonderful day! thanks for stopping by!
