Spellbinders Layered Windmill Dies

 *This post contains affiliate links to Spellbinders.


Hey everyone!  There's a new collection from Spellbinders available today, the Home Sweet Quilt collection.  I love the quilted look, so was excited to get to play with some of these dies.

Today's cards feature the Layered Windmill dies.  This is a set of ten dies, there are some detailed dies that create filigree pieces you can layer over the different triangles, but my cards feature just the two primary dies.


I started by selecting some coordinating papers.  To make this easier, I just pulled a bunch of prints from an old Lawn Fawn 6x6 pad.  

I used six prints and die cut the quilted piece from each.  I then used the outline piece to die cut around two of the negative pieces to create an outline piece.


I also die cut two solid octagons using the outline to use as the base for my quilted pattern.  These pieces were run through my Xyron machine to add adhesive.

The webbed pieces were adhered to each base piece, and then I added my different prints into the webbing to create the designs.

Once done, I trimmed the final design down to fit onto my card base.


I added a mat from that same Lawn Fawn paper pack, and adhered the quilted piece over top.

I didn't want to cover up the designs, so I opted for a couple very simple sentiment strips to finish things off.


These take a bit of time, but you could really create six different cards by mixing and matching all the die cut pieces.
