Spellbinders July Blog Hop....


Hello there crafty friends!  Today I am hoping along with some super talented ladies to bring you the Spellbinders July Blog Hop.  We are showcasing the  Exclusive Indie Collection.

The Exclusives collection is only available at select online and local independent retailers. This collection is not available for purchase from Spellbinders Online Store but can be found at several online retailers.  I have the items I used in today's post, linked below in my supply list.

CARDS

I have 2 cards to share today.  The dies from Spellbinders are amazing and make the most fun addition to any card!  The best thing about Spellbinders dies is the cut AND they emboss.  I just love those details.

 This first card uses the Tropical Pineapple dies and the Hello Expressions dies....

 Spellbinders

To create this card, I added a piece of striped paper to the card front and layered it with a shimmery vellum.  I die cut the pineapple out of gold glitter paper and the top from green card stock.  I popped the pineapple up on foam tape after adding some shading to the pineapple top with a green Copic. I die cut the hello with white cardstock and then added it to the pineapple with liquid glue.

Spellbinders

This next card was fun to make.  I love watermelon.  So much!  When I saw these Fruit Salad dies, I knew I had to go crazy with the watermelons!  :)

Spellbinders

To create this card, I die cut and layered up several watermelon and then added them around the front of the card with foam tape.  I added a simple sentiment to the bottom of of the card to finish it off.
