ReplyDeleteI am a follower. I will pin you next. Thanks for the chance to win.
I absolutely love Spellbinders and have a massive amount of them The ones I use the most are the scalloped ovals and the scalloped circles... these just seem to make my cards look awesome.
ReplyDeleteLovely card...love those Spellbinders! My favorite dies and most used are the Classic ovals...but I love them all. I am a long time follower already.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and great write up on the CardMaker blog. My all time favorite set is Labels Four.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful new Spellbinders. I love your cards using them. My favorite, go-to Nestabilities Dies are the Labels four dies. They just make the most beautiful cards. Love your article on the CardMaker blog. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, your card is beautiful as usual, I love the dies you have used, I have many spellbinder dies, my go to set as of late have been, labels 14 & 15 as I have stamp sets that go with them so well!!
ReplyDeleteI pinned it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Spellbinders are the nesting classic ovals. I use them all the time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card. It reminds me a bit of a tuxedo shirt with the embossing for ruffles, the ribbon and pearls for buttons. My all time favorite Nestabilities are the circles. I love them for how perfect they are...I could never cut them like that, even if I traced.
ReplyDeleteI already follow your blog. You have such beautiful card designs. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust found and subscribed to your blog after it was recommended by feedly Gorgeous card. I think I like my regular and scalloped heart spellbinder dies the most at the moment.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, this card is totally stunning!
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite Nestabilities set is from the Decorative Elements range and is "Floral Ovals".
I adore that set and use it constantly. In fact, I've used it today for a very decorative card I was making. It adds an extra level of elegance to every card.
Beautiful card! My favorite Nestabilities are the classic ovals paired with the scalloped ovals.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a hard one because I use Spellbinders dies all the time. If I had to choose one, I would say that I probably use the Classic Ovals the most. They are all great, and I'm always on the lookout for a new one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! Love the background! I love Spellbinders and use many different ones, but I probably use my classic circles the most of any, so I suppose they are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI already follow your blog!
My all time favorite Spellbinders is the Nestabilities Butterfly Circles. I'm a butterfly collector and use a lot of them on my cards.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry but i don't see a way to Pin It. :(
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteYour card is especially gorgeous with the Texas bluebonnet on it.
I have none of their dies and I would love to win an oval type one. I would have a whole ton of their dies if I could.
Myrna
I seem to use # 4 and # 14 the most! But I own so many more.....
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Nesties are the Floral Ovals, and the Classic Ovals and Circles.
ReplyDeleteBeen scallop edge die cutting for a while, any shape with a scalloped edge dresses a certificaate or a greeting card with a wee more sharp presentation. Melmel, you continue to make papercrafting a work of art! Thank you, bluebonnet blue always charms the eyetrack of any receiver. That's the graduation color of two schools around here! God Bless! Keep Looking UP!
ReplyDeleteI love just about every product that Spellbinders has come up with, but I have to say my favorites are the nested circles and scalloped circles - I used them just about every day! Your card is so pretty! I used to live in Texas and bluebonnets remind me of home.
ReplyDeleteI would say the ones I use most are the ovals, both classic and scalloped. I guess I only have one shot at winning though as I don't have a Pinterest board and I am already following you, so can't sign up again. By the way, I love your card and if I don't happen to win, I feel I may have to check out the Spellbinders a little more closely and see what else I MUST have. LOL
ReplyDeleteClassic ovals has always been my favorite nestabilitie! Your card is Gorgeous! Love the deep embossing & of course your lovely bluebonnet stamp, gorgeous coloring!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Nestabilities of all times is Fleur De Lis Squares. Did the pinning and already following your blog! This is goreous Melanie! Love the two identical shapes but that one is embossed and the other flat!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love that Labels Twenty Nine you used... hadn't seen that one before!
ReplyDeleteThe scalloped ovals used with the classic ovals has always been my favorite!
I'm already a follower here!
ReplyDeleteI already follow your blog from your Gina K days. I love the appearance of all the label dies , I think all the cards look fantastic but I cant pick a particular die as my budget doesnt extend to buying any. I do love looking at all the work tho

ReplyDeleteMelanie, I must say my favorite Spellbinders are any of the labels... can't pick just one. Awesome card and thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite SB die is Labels One,I think I am wearing it out, but that Labels 29 looks way cool. I am already on your email list and I did start following.
ReplyDeleteI love all my spellbinders but my go-to set is the Reverse Wonky Rectangles. They seem to frame my images perfectly and are just a tad bit unusual! Love your designs. Have all the Stately Flowers and am waiting for more!!
ReplyDeletethanks for a chance to win those awesome dies. I have been wanting them ever since I saw them, lol, just can't afford them yet. I already follow your blog. I don't know if I really have a fav, I just really like all that I have. lol

I am a follower of your blog, too!
ReplyDeleteLabels 4 is probably my all time favorite, but they have so many wonderful dies to choose from.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick just one as my fave. I love the fancy squares, ovals and circles. (don't remember the names) Their products are top notch in quality and variety. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love the card! I do love my Spellbinder dies. The ones I use the most are matting Basics A.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, I forgot to tell you how pretty the card is. We call the bluebell lupine here in Georgia and I just had my first bloom this week after trying for years.Love your flower stamps.
ReplyDeleteI don't have very many Spellbinders dies - but I wish I had them ALL! My favorites of the ones I do have are the fancy tags. I use them a lot for an added touch of elegance on my cards. Thanks for the chance to win. Spellbinders makes such high quality and innovative products.
ReplyDeleteOh my what a beautiful card! I love Spellbinders dies! I am always inspired by the way others use them in ways I had not thought of. My favorites would have to be the classic ovals, Lacey ovals and Fleur de Lis Squares! Thanks so much for sharing your talents! :)
ReplyDeleteLove my petite ovals and probably use them the most so I'll go with them. I am a follower and pinned the card to pinterest on my board with Melanie loves Spellbinders. So do I!
ReplyDeleteNana Griffin
I love the nestabilities labels8. I use them often and like the variety of sizes.
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOOOOOOOVELY CARD MELANIE!!!!!!!!! :) OH GOODNESS! MY FAVORITE SPELLBINDERS DIE? It would HAVE TO BE---CLASSIC OVALS!!!!! I am ALWAYS grabbing them! :) I don't have a SLEW of Spellbinders! BUT, KNEW the Classic Ovals was THE SET to get!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese labels are beautiful. I would love to add them to my collection.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of your blog. Don't know if you add the extra or I should add my name more on comments. I love the ovals and pinned the card.
ReplyDeleteI love how the blue pops on your card! May favorite Nestabilities, although it's hard to choose just one, would have to be the Lacey Ovals.
ReplyDeleteI always like different kinds of Squares by Spellbinder. Love their products, don't have many though. Thank you for the chance to win it. Your card is gorgeous. I pinned it and I'm your follower.
ReplyDeleteI am just getting started buying products for my new BigShot. Have not got any Spellbinders dies yet, but have been trying to decide which one to get first. Love your cards and look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteI like to put a bit more focus on my smaller greetings using the following at different times: Labels 21, 25, and 28. What appeals to me with the set you are displaying is that not only is it very attractive and elegant, but it places focus elsewhere than what I am used to. I wish I could just wiggle my nose for all the Spellbinders items I long for.
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely stunning Melanie! I just purchased the romantic rectangles and its my all time favorite! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dies are the classic circles. I use them a lot. I'm really liking the M-Bossebilities these days; I have a couple.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting to Cardmaker blog and magazine. I love it.
I love the ovals as I go to them the most.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Melanie. I think I'd have to say I love Romantic Rectangles - they are so pretty. Thanks for the chance to win.

Favorite??? Nesitibilities die? Gosh - my world changed when these came out! I suppose the excitement of getting the scalloped oval - way back when has to be my favorite!
ReplyDeleteOh what a stunning card! I just love Spellbinders dies. I don't have many and one that I keep going to is my Fleur de Lis rectangles die. I can't wait to get my hands on the Floral Ovals or Magestic Elements, etc., etc., you get the picture. LOL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Beautiful Card, Melanie! Stunning! Great write up on the Cardmaker blog.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say that other than the classics - circles, squares - that my favorite Nestabilities dies would be Labels 25.

ReplyDeleteI love Spellbinder dies! I think my favorite set is the ovals!
ReplyDeleteI love all the spellbinders but I really like my Picot Circles...they are so delicate and pretty! thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteFancy Tags is my favorite, though I use several a LOT - Labels 10 and 18.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot of Spellbinders dies, but I do love to use the ones I have. I like the Labels 4 because I have stamps that coordinate with them.
ReplyDeleteI am new to embossing and die-cutting (just got my first machine for Christmas), so my selection is limited, but I just love my Classic Ovals because they just finish off my focals. I have a set of dies from another maker that don't work as well, so I'm a Spellbinders faithful. Any dies I've bought (3) myself have been Spellbinders and I'm looking forward to expanding my collection. Thanks for the chance to win some! Absolutely love your elegant card and all your stamp sets which I got from Gina K. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness your card is soooo beautiful!! I am just starting my collection of Spellbinders dies and embossing folders. The one that I have had my eye on for a while now is the Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies-Romantic Rectangles. It just looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love card creations A and B because no matter how careful I measured nothing came straight until I used these dies.

Well I can't pick just ONE Nestie as my VERY favorite, as I love them all! But I will say the ones I grab again and again are the Ovals.....Classic, Scalloped, and Beaded.....they dress up ANY card just like *snap*!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one GORGEOUS card, great ayout, dies and colors, and I just love those 3 pearls on the ribbonat the bottom, reminds me of a Tuxedo shirt!
Your card is absolutely beautiful, Melanie and the spellbinders dies really do enhance your gorgeous stamps. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the matting basics. I use them in almost all of my cards.

ReplyDeleteGreat card! I am a spellbinders junkie! To hard to pick just 1! I love them all! I have been a follower of your blog for a while now! Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, what a beautiful card you have shared. I have quite a few spellbinders, I probably use Labels, 4,10,11, 15 and so many more. You just can't have too many to choose from and play with. Love their products.
ReplyDeleteMelanie, your card is beautiful as are all your cards. I like using all Spellbinders but like the ovals and fleur de lis rectangles.
ReplyDeleteI love all of my Spellbinders dies. I use Spellbinders on every card. It is hard for me to choose a favorite, but I would chose Labels 16.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful card!! I have become fixated with my Grand Calibur & as many Spellbinders dies as I can get my hands on! My favorite embossing folder (at the moment any way!) is the Sea Beauty M-Bossibility! Actually I love them all!!!!

I love Spellbinders dies but can't afford many. Love the classic squares and rectangles but would LOVE to have some fancy ones!
ReplyDeleteWOW!Very pretty card,love to get me some dies never use them...
ReplyDeleteLove Spellbinders dies and it would be hard to chose one favorite. I'd love to have that curvy edge one though. Wonderful card and use of spellbinders.
ReplyDeleteI don't have many dies but I do have the scallop ovals and love them. I enjoy visiting your site and getting inspiration from your beautiful cards. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

i LOVE MY GOOD OLE CIRCLES AND SCALLLOPED circles...love love love them..and starting to lovie my hexagons too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick a favorite Spellbinder's die as I love so many of them. The workhorse dies are the ovals. My favorite die is probably the old Labels 1.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my Spellbinder's, my fave all-time one has to be the Scalloped Circle. All the size ranges, and it embosses the edge. So many uses, up front, behind (like a window), inside, outside....how can you lose? The embossing gives it so much dimension, quickly. Plus: Folders are so handy, really class up a card. Dots of any size are my loves, then all the other embossed images. Hey, thanks for a chance to win, especially a product that I faithfully use any chance I get! Spellbinders Rock!!
ReplyDeleteThe Circles are my favorite. I use them on everything!
ReplyDeleteWow, this card looks beautiful, Melanie!! I just noticed your new book too - Congrats!! You know how much I LOVE your floral stamps :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you pick just one nestie? I use all of mine. I guess I use the circles the most. But they all get lots of use. I love my spellbinders!
ReplyDeleteI like ALL of my Spellbinders dies, but Labels 8 is my very favorite set...have them in the Grands too! They get used more than any of my other Spellbinders dies!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, I love this gorgeous card! I'll have to check into this stamp, as I'm a Texan currently living in Ohio. I miss the bluebonnets so much in the springtime.
ReplyDeleteI use my Spellbinders dies on pretty much every project I make. I think I use the labels #1 more than any other though. maybe because it's the first one in the basket! tee hee!
I don't have any Nestabilities dies (I just recently bought a die-cutting machine and haven't gotten any dies for it yet), but I've had my eye on the variety of Labels dies available. I love how they range from simple to elaborate, to accommodate all sizes and styles. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Spellbinders dies are the Petite Ovals, and their coordinating Petite Scalloped ovals. I seem to keep coming back to them! Love your card, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteI love Spellbinders! My go to favorites are the classic ovals and rectangles. Love all your stamps.
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Melanie! My favorite Spellbinder dies are the petite ovals! Thanks very much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI am a real fan of Spellbiners dies and I have a few sets and my favorite is the lace ovals. I love your card and my entry in this weeks challange April Showers to May Flowers was based on your card
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! My favorite dies are the Fleur de Lis dies. Thanks for the chance to win these!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog!
ReplyDeleteI pinned your card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful way to showcase your gorgeous flower Melanie! Such a generous gift package to have a chance of winning too, thanks you so very much. I downloaded your book A Year Of Flowers the day you announced it and have almost worn out my set - LOL! I love Spellbinders to showcase my creations too and love to 3D a lot! I have to say that my favourite Nestabilitis are Resplendent Rectangles, Lacy Ovals and Fleur De Lis Squares. Have to have one in every shape since I love my flowers so much. Can't thank you enough for sharing all your tips and tricks to help us all to try and achieve the same beautiful work you do.
