Beautifully Imperfect Collection
In the video, I detail the Spellbinders Beautifully Imperfect products that I have on hand, and will list them here. There are additional items available in this collection.
This is the Beautifully Imperfect Rub-On pack. There are two sheets in this pack, and the imagery is gorgeous!!
This is the Beautifully Imperfect Die Cut Shapes Pack, and it is full of grungy flowers, butterflies, birds, tags, and more!
This is an ingenious die set!! It is called Beautifully Imperfect Tangled Threads Die Set, and it cuts out thread-looking die cuts. It also has two dies that place holes in your project, and when overlaid with the thread pieces, it looks like there is real stitching on your project!
This is the Beautifully Imperfect Grungy Background BetterPress Plate, and it creates a distressed-looking background. The set also comes with two sentiment BetterPress plates: Embrace the Mess, and Beautifully Imperfect.
This is the Beautifully Imperfect 12 x 12″ Printed Paper, and it is absolutely breathtaking. This paper pack also comes in a 6×6″ version.
This is my favorite product in this collection, and it is called the Beautifully Imperfect Butterfly Splatter BetterPress Plates. There is a butterfly BetterPress Plate with two sentiment plates. The sentiments have coordinating dies to cut them out.
Beautifully Imperfect Card
To make this card, I first cut a background panel from a sheet in the printed paper pack, and made a matching card base from Spellbinders Bellini Cardstock. I used the Tangled Threads die set and cut two threads out of Bellini and Raven cardstock.
I used my Spellbinders BetterPress machine to press the Butterfly Splatter press plate onto Classic White cardstock, with 49 and Market ink pads in Pink Sands and Just Peachy. I have a video and a blog post on the new 49 and Market ink colors if you want to see what they all look like. I used the press plate from the Grungy Background Set, Chiffon cardstock, and VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink to create the Beautifully Imperfect sentiment. I cut a thin cardstock strip to weave through the sentiment die cut slots.
After all the BetterPressing was complete, I cut out the butterfly image using the Spellbinders Postage Edge Squares die set, and the sentiment using the Simon Says Stamp Label Slides die set. In the video, I show how to make a template to cut out sentiments when you can’t see through the die to line it up properly.
Decorating the Inside of the Card
To decorate the inside of the card, I first cut a panel for my personal message from Spellbinders Classic White cardstock. Next, I used one of the Beautifully Imperfect Rub-ons to add a sentiment to the inside of the card. I picked out a couple of die cuts from the shapes pack and glued them into the panel on the upper left side.
