To look at these on the shelf...they look a little confusing, and to be honest, a little intimidating...but they are NEITHER!!
To show you how easy they really are, I did a step by step of these Tulip, Rabbits and Rose die cuts. I think this is so beautiful and the layering adds dimension as well as shading and contrasts! So, I did something very basic with my paper choices, but really there is way more you can do by adding Textured paper, arranging them different ways, changes to the backgrounds and colors, and even add some ink to the edges with an ink pad for even more dimension. There are a variety of layers to this Tulip to choose from I didn't use them all. But I think you would agree that it is Beautiful all the same.
These rabbits are so cute the layering almost makes them look like fabric. If you Love Rabbits this this adds so much dimension to these as well with the layering that you do!
The adhesive I used is the Tombow mono aqua glue and Mono Multi Liquid Glue. It works well with this putting a small line of glue it is white and drys clear. These glues have a good hold to them as well.
If these aren't really your cup of tea. Come check out our shop we have a wall of different die cuts. We also have more new Spellbinders you can also check out online. I Hope you Enjoyed this Quick little step by step with me. Hopefully I can do more like these, If you Like this One let us know. The Doodlebug

What Makes These Inks Different? Color Made Easy! My Ink Collections are formulated to help crafters easily create perfectly coordinated projects with matching saturations and tones. The Party Line of inks are vibrant, saturated colors….think lime and bright pink. With names like Fiesta Blue and Rockin’ Red, they are bright, fun and they scream party! The Spa Line of inks are muted colors with a low saturation level. With names like Mandarin Spice and Shea Butter, they are perfect for a sophisticated and polished card design. WHY CRAFTERS LOVE THIS INK Besides the foolproof Color Made Easy system…
Color coordination is a snap! Our first collection, the Party Collection is made up of all vibrant, saturated colors that will go together perfectly. No more guessing which color goes with which!
No more splotchy images! Two or three gentle LOVE TAPS are all you need to get full coverage on your stamp which transfers beautifully to your cardstock.
No more muddy, dirty stamped images when residue from a dark ink gets picked up by a light color!
They are water reactive which makes them great for ever popular water splotching and flicking techniques.
Blending is easy! These inks stay wet for a few seconds, so you have time to blend beautiful backgrounds with your colored ink pads.
CP Designs Ink Pads are made of foam and foam pads transfer ink better to stamps. A well inked stamp produces a better quality image. All inks are premium dye inks and they are all non-permanent except for Midnight which is archival (and will stain your stamps – be sure to view the best practices video!). Midnight is water-proof and safe for alcohol markers when dry.

Common Questions: Q: Do you store them upside down or right side up?
A: It is not necessary to store them upside down. So right side up it is! Q: I have some foam ink pads that have disintegrated. How will yours hold up?
A: The shelf life of our dye ink pads is at least 2 years, but they could last much longer with good care and storage. We recommend storing them at close to room temperature (no extremes) and out of direct sunlight. We also recommend that if you use stamp cleaners other than water that you also clean them with water to remove any residue that might be clinging to you stamp. Q: I just wanted to know how the inks behave when using a brand new, not yet seasoned stamp?
A: They will work great! If you do get any splotchiness at all, just ink and stamp several times on scratch paper and you should be good to go! Q: Can’t wait to try your new ink pads! They sound so versatile. But I’m curious how well the sponge base will hold up if I get over anxious and stamp down too hard.
A: The pad itself will be fine, but you may find a bit of an inky mess! You will also find that linen pads will get a dip in the middle after use, but foam pads do not tend to do that. Do be gentle with your pad, though, since it’s foam if you are rough with them, they may tear.
