In Reel Color

Hello Crafty Friends, it’s Amy Tsuruta and I’m thrilled to be back on the Spellbinders blog featuring the amazing Take Note Collection. I wanted to incorporate a rainbow palette with my projects but also keep it to a handful of colors. For my first project, I designed a mini composition book. In Reel Color, E3D-123, BP-302, S4-1439 I combined the Memo Splatter BetterPress Plate along with the Reel Color Sentiment BetterPress Plate & Die Set. This is when I tell you that I love working with BetterPress products!  The Memo Splatter was inked in Azalea - BetterPress Ink, and the sentiment in Black - BetterPress ink. All the white paper I used is the BetterPress Porcelain Cotton card panels. The base panel is the Soaring 3D embossing Folder from the Collaged Birds Collection by Dina Wakley. I added a black strip of cardstock for the composition book spine. Next up is a card that features the Reel Color Etched Dies. In Reel Color, S3-550, BP-296, BPR-030, DOML-AUG24 I wanted to use a softer palette and combined these Spellbinder cardstock colors: BelliniCoralCarrotBreeze. Isn’t that note paper fun? It’s the Push Pin Notes Etched Dies. The sentiment is from the Reel Color Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die set.  The lines are from the Take Note Registration Press Plates. The blooms are from Colorful Expressions Blooms. My final project features three products from this new collection. In Reel Color, BPR-029, S4-1439 I love how the black makes everything pop.  Still wanting to use a rainbow color palette, these are the Spellbinders cardstock colors I used for the reels: CranberryPoppyWild BerryBellini, Carrot, Coral. I adore the Journal Grid Registration Press Plates.  Adding this card to my birthday card stash. Thanks for stopping by today!  A big shout-out to Spellbinders! I can’t wait to see how you’re inspired! You can find me on Instagram @craftee1
