card made with nestabilities dies

At today’s Make and Take at Making Memories with Scrapbooking in Vancouver, we made a delightful card using dies from Spellbinder Nestabilities

The purple circle and the yellow circle are the Nestabilities shapes. The black circle with the word “Smile” is a stamp.

We Used the Nestabilities dies with the Sizzix Big Shot.

To use them as a die, you make the “sandwich”, placing the card stock and the die between two acrylic  cutting surfaces, then placing that on Tab 2.

Nestabilities dies can also be embossed.  To do the embossing, we put the die and the card stock between the two acrylic blocks, but added a Spellbinder Embossing Mat.

This went on Tab 1, cutting and embossing simultaneously.

This cut the circle and created a ring of embossing around the edge. Very attractive.

I don’t have any Nestabilities dies yet, but I certainly want some.
