Today I am using Spellbinders S5-025 Labels Seventeen die template and Cosmo Cricket Pixie-licious products…

This was the first time I’ve ever used Spellbinder dies…it most certainly will not be the last.  I didn’t realize I could use them with my Cuttlebug, but then Debbie shared this great video tutorial (there are a LOT of great ones on this page).  Now I know what I’ll be asking Santa for!

See all those little label shapes?  I cut them with one of the dies they sent to me.disney_hugs2_filtered

If you look really closely you can see that the edges are embossed…

I layered a bunch of the tags here – I love that I can place the die anywhere I want on a piece of paper and cut out the shape, then emboss it.  The “happy together” and “butterfly kisses” are both small tags from the elements sheet, but I was able to cut them with the die into the same shape as the patterned papers and then emboss the edges…love how they look together!

The embossing is really subtle, but I love the detail it adds!disney_hugs_filtered
