Spellbinders - Nestibilities Circle Dies

I showed you different sizes of Nestibilities Square Dies from Spellbinders last time. Today I want to show different Nestibilities Circle Dies from Spellbinders.

There are total of 6 sets of circle dies from Nestibilities Collection and Spellbinders have put them together into 2 combo sets. The first one is called Nest 04 - Petite Circles which includes

S4-114 Large Standard Circles

S4-115 Large Petite Scalloped Circles

S4-116 Small Standard Circles

S4-117 Small Petite Scalloped Circles

The second one is called Nest 05 - Classic Circles which includes

S4-114 Large Standard Circles

S4-124 Large Classic Scalloped Circle

S4-116 Small Standard Circles

S4-125 Small Classic Scalloped Circle

The difference between these 2 combo pack is the scalloped circles. Scalloped Circle Dies in Nest 04 - Petite Circles are slightly smaller than the ones from Nest 05 - Classic Circles.

Here are the dimensions for all 6 Circle Dies Sets.

So if you want to get all 6 circle sets, I would suggest that you get Nest 04 - Petite Circles with
Large Classic Scalloped Circle (item number: S4-124) and Small Classic Scalloped Circle (item number: S4-125). Or Nest 05 - Classic Circles with Large Petite Scalloped Circles (item number: S4-115) and Small Petite Scalloped Circles (item number: S4-117). So you won't get 2 duplicate sets.

Just like all the other Nestibilities Dies, you can mix regular circles with scalloped circles to create beautiful nested effect and here are a few combination you can create out of these dies.

In the first picture, I used Large Standard Circles (item number: S4-114) with Large Petite Scalloped Circles (item number: S4-115). See how tight the scalloped edge is against the regular circle.




















In the next picture, I used Small Standard Circles (item number:S4-116) instead of Large Standard Circles and you will see more scalloped edge. Here you can even see the embossed scalloped edge, which was covered when I used Large Standard Circles.




















In the next picture, I used Large Standard Circles (item number: S4-114) with Large Classic Scalloped Circle (item number: S4-124). As I mentioned before, these scalloped dies are larger than the petite ones so you can see more scalloped edge.




















In this last picture, I use Small Standard Circles (item number:S4-116) instead of Large Standard Circles with the same Large Classic Scalloped Circle (item number: S4-124). You will see even more scalloped edge. There is really no right or wrong combination of doing this. It's really depends on what is your preference.

"D" is for Daughter

Happy New Year! everyone. How was your holiday? Are you ready for my first post of the year?


For those of you have a daughter, what does your daughter mean to your? Is she a joy bringer? a heart warmer? a memory maker? I am sure she is all that, plus she is your love, right?

Today's page layout is for "D" in an ABC baby girl album.

A couple of things I want to mention:
1. For the phrase, "A daughter is .. a joy bringer, a heart warmer, a memory maker. A daughter is ... love.", I printed it on the back side of vellum paper so the ink will not get smeared easily. Also when you print on vellum paper, make sure you change print option for transparency so less ink will come out. Do not touch the printed vellum paper for a few minutes after print. Otherwise, you will smear the prints.

2. For the lower right hand corner, I took Heidi Swapp's clear extras and painted with red, green and white acrylic paint on the back side. I mixed white with red and green paint separately to make different shades of pink and green. One thing I like about these clear extras is if I mess up the paint, I can wash it off with water and try it again. I hope you will give this a try.


Items used in this layout include:

1. Chatterbox's Villa Memory Building Kit
2. Chatterbox's red and pink ribbons
3. Chatterbox's Olive fuzz stickers
4. Heidi Swapp's Pink Chipboard Alphabet Box
5. Heidi Swapp's clear extras from Runway Collection.
