See this adorable girl and that super fun and stylish
headband she’s wearing?
Well, that girl is my sweet daughter Cassidy Jo and that headband is what I created using some fabulous new products from Spellbinders and I’m totally excited to share!

The first thing I did was diecut/emboss the flowers in the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® machine.
 I used the fantastic new S4-355 Layered Flowers set. I cut them from Spellbinders™ Delicate Pastels Premium Craft Foils. I chose aqua and purple to use for the top flowers then silver for the bottom flowers.  Each colored side of the foils also has a silver side so there is an abundance of that. Here’s a photo of the flowers I cut out and embossed.

Next, I layered the flowers and glued them together using Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue. I added some flower shaped clear jewels to the centers of each flower to give them some sparkle.
Once the glue is dry you can easily bend and shape the foil flowers to stand up off the base like I’ve shown in the photo below.


Now it’s time to cover the headband using more foil. I found a thick, plain headband at my local dollar store that was perfect for this project. I cut some strips of foil wide enough to cover the headband then embossed them using the new ES-004 Whimsy M-Bossabilities folder. The photos below show the embossing pattern and how pretty it is when done on the foil.



The strips of foil won’t be long enough to use only one so you will have an obvious line where the two pieces cover but that’s okay…. Adding the flowers will cover it up. This next photo shows the headband all covered. Just add glue as you’re wrapping the foil and shaping it to the headband. You can smooth it out underneath. Isn’t it pretty?


Last it’s time to glue on your layered flowers. Here’s my other cute model Macey wearing the headband as well and some better photos of the flowers and embossing. Easy peasy! And CUTE!

Here’s a layout I created using these new dies as well.
