Die D-Lites Inspiration | Pizza My Heart Party Food. Video
Hello everyone. This is Nichol Spohr and I’m thrilled to be guest designing for Spellbinders!

Each pizza slice was assembled and adhered to the tablecloth background as shown. By combining multiple pizza…

Chantilly Lace | Quick and Elegant Gold Layering
There are a couple of card styles I default to when I need to make something quick – I begin with gold layering. I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and today my card is both simple and elegant with two layered gold elements on a decorative background. It’s easy to put together and I’ll take you through the quick steps. Cream and gold are my signature colors and nothing looks more elegant than when it is coaxed into a grand layering style. If I’m ever stumped with card making, an easy classic formula with symmetry usually comes to mind and always seems to satisfy the occasion. Raised layers with the focal panel…

Creating a scene card is one of my very favorite styles of card to create. The Deer dies are the perfect focal point of these love-themed shaker cards.
