Organizing Spellbinders Grand Borderabilities Dies

Spellbinders Grand Borderabilities Dies are great for all my scrapbook layouts but I have been looking for a storage solution for these extra long dies for a while. The other day, I was looking at Cropper Hopper's Craft Pro-File Binders and found a way to organize these Grand Borderabilities.


I started with a large plastic bag that is large enough to keep 3 sets of Grand Borderabilties. You can use the packaing bags from 12 x 12 paper or 12 x 12 page refills.

I punched some holes and then used these pretty color Chatterbox Scrapbook Rivets to divide the plastic bag into 3 sections. You can use brads instead of these Scrapbook Rivets. But what I like about these Scrapbook Rivets is that they are reversable, unlike brads. Also they can hold the bag very tight.












Now you can fold all 3 sets of dies together.












There are 2 styles of Cropper Hopper Craft Pro-File Binders to choose from.


The first one is 7 x 12 Craft Pro-File.

This one you can fit Grand Borderabilities Dies and any other 6" x 12" craft paper on one side since they are expandable. On the other side, there are two 7" x 6" expandable pockets that you can keep more paper in there.












The second option is this
12 x 12 Craft Pro-File. On one side, it has one 12" x 6" expandable pocket and you can keep the Grand Borderabilities and other 12" x 6" paper here. One same side, it also has two 6" x 6" expandable pockets to store more craft paper. On other side, it has one 12" x 12" expandable pocket. You can definitely store your favor 12" x 12" paper collection there.

How is this for keeping your dies and paper together in one storage solution?!!!!

Spellbinders: Impressabilities - Embossing 2

Today, I will continue to show you how to emboss using Spellbinders' Impressabilities templates.












The cardstocks I am using today are white core cardstocks so when I sand the embossed cardstock, it will enhance the embossed cardstock.

The dimension of finished cardstock is 8.5" x 5.5".




First, I ran the Chatterbox Light Black Solid Cardstock through the Wizard Machine with Impressabilities Paisley Template. For how to build the sandwich, please refer to my previous blog Spellbinders: Impressabilities - Embossing 1.

This is the embossed (front) side of cardstock.




I sanded down the embossed pattern to enhance the embossed design.








This is the debossed (back) side of cardstock.









This is how the debossed pattern looks after sanding.








I repeated the same process with Chatterbox Dark Scarlet Solid Cardstock. After sanding, I cut the scarlet embossed cardstock in half and assemble the card.

Stamped "Congratulations" on a white cardstock and ran it through the Wizard Machine with the 3rd smallest die from Spellbinders Large Standard Circle set.

Used the 3rd smallest die from Spellbinders Large Classic Scalloped Circle set to cut Chatterbox Dark Scarlet Solid Cardstock.

Now I am ready to assemble the card. I pushed the cap paper pin from Around The Block School Paper Pins. through the congratulation circle title before glued it down to the card.
