Today’s focus is on graceful curves achieved with dies.  I have a quick and easy no-stamp project to show you plus a few other design team projects.  I’ll start with mine — it’s a very simple project, but I sure ended up with a lot of photos for one simple card!

This card is 5.5″ square, made to fit the 5.5″ Square Clear Box.

I’ve been just itching to use both this gorgeous paper and NEW Spellbinders die– today was the day!

Paper:  C’est La Vie by Bo Bunny

Spellbinders Die: A2 Curved Borders One

No stamping!  I used a beautiful, layered chipboard sticker.

Sticker:  C’est La Vie Layered Chipboard by Bo Bunny

Here’s the inside – using the same paper pad and die.  Fun!

I left the inside blank as I’m not sure yet what I’ll use this card for.  Perhaps for graduation for a girl or for someone who is branching out and taking a step in a new direction.  Either way, I think it would work!  Or even just to encourage or inspire someone.

Here’s the card inserted into the decorated 5.5″ Square Clear Box, ready for presentation.

Another layered chipboard sticker from the same pack graces the box front along with Seam Binding in Mimosa Yellow.

Aren’t these stickers just gorgeous!

And just for another visual, this is the 5.5″ Square Clear Box empty.  It opens from the top, so the deocration need not be disturbed.

When I decorate a clear box for presentation, I ALWAYS have the cards IN THE BOX as I decorate the box.  That way you can center and place your items properly so it all works together once the box is filled.

This is the pad I used today.  C’est La Vie by Bo Bunny.

This is the sticker/chipboard used today.  C’est La Vie Layered Chipboard by Bo Bunny.

This is the die used today.  A2 Curved Borders One.

When I was searching my computer for the pic of the Rondelle pad — this pic showed up.  Michelle created this fun card with the Rondelle pad a while back.  LOVED it then and still love it — thought you might like it, too, if you missed it from before.  And it certainly fits today’s theme of graceful curves!
