Spellbinders Dies visual demo. Marvelous Squares Dies and Radiant Rectangles

In this post we are going look at a few card ideas created using Spellbinders Marvellous Squares die cutters S4 383. You can see from the image below there are 6 dies in the Marvellous Squares package (code S4-383) marked A-F.

Cutting out an aperture shown on A+C creates a shape within a shape and adds a further element to your design.

Bead pearl embellishment adds a bit of class to the finished card  (See A,B,C,D,E,F).

With the addition of a stamp in the card on the right here you can see we have created it using A,B and C plus the corners from die cutter D which further embellish your design. So its always worth hanging on to the cut outs as you never know when they may come in handy.

Also on this sheet are the Spellbinder Radiant Rectangles. S5-161 again with 6 die cuts. The key is to have fun with your design and mix and match to suit your taste as the possibilities are endless.
