Good morning friends! This week I’m doing some educational videos on how to assemble some of my new dies. Many of you have emailed me for instructions and I think these videos will do the trick :-) Several left to do, but they are coming! Today I have a video to share to show you how to assemble the S4-610 Spellbinders Ladies Shoe. This is a shoe that screams girlfriends!! It will be right at home for wedding themed cards but my goodness, the shoe is so darned cute my girlfriends are getting put on the gift list.
This is the card I had in mind when I designed the die – I could just see a whole row of shoes. Crafting mimics real life, right?! For this particular card I created a card base using Spellbinders Victorian Arch – I cut four of these and adhered them to a 2-1/2″ of card stock – 11″ long and scored in the middle. The arches are adhered, two on the front and two on the back along the decorative edge. My sentiment is printed on vellum with my laser printer and adhered along the bottom edge of the shoe panel. It’s a big card (8″ x 5-1/2″) that will need a custom envelope but I’m a huge fan of the We’R Memory Keepers Envelope Board – having it in my arsenal means I’ll never shy away from creating custom cards.
I’ve assembled quite a few of these shoes by now and for this one I was tickled to discover that washi tape comes in prints that are sized just right for this shoe. I wanted a small print for one of the shoes so I just laid out three strips of the tape and that gave me the coverage I needed to cut out the toe piece.
The video will show you how it all goes together:
Rubber Stamps: None
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb Smooth,
Ink: None
Accessories: S4-610 Spellbinders Ladies Shoe, Spellbinders Victorian Arch, We’R Memory Keepers Envelope Board, Recollection Pearls, Washi Tape – Michaels, Sheer Ribbon, Pearl BradThanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll be back soon!

Good morning Becca. Thank you so much for your instructional videos. I love, love, love this card and although I promised myself that I’m not going to order anything for a while, I am going to order these dies now. (You’re right, I have no self control!)

GOOD MORNING BECCA,
This is just so cute! I have a BFF that is a shoeaholic so this would make a perfect birthday card for her. It’s not until December so have lots of time to finish it (and to buy the dies)!! Thanks for making the video and making it look so easy.

I love this card, the shoes are adorable and it looks really easy too, will be getting this die for sure. Thanks for sharing as always
Your work is so beautiful. Seems like I say that quite often, but your work is a cut way above the rest.I don’t have words to describe how breathtaking your work is. You are an artist with paper. You can take a plane sheet of paper, in this case at least 2 sheets and make something so beautiful[ I try to do it, but mine is plain vanilla next to yours. You make the world a must nicer and prettier place. Thank for sharing your talent with us.
Absolutely gorgeous, what a lovely keepsake.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I can see that cute itty-bitty bow used on other things as well.
Hi Becca. Thanks for the tutorial. I have these dies so I shall try to replicate your masterpiece for a friend who loves shoes. It will make a fab birthday card for her. I agree the envelope board is wonderful too. TFS.
cute shoe die. I love the card idea and that it’s a non-traditional size. the sky’s the limit. I also find it wonderful that you look for other ways to use dies we have in different ways. thanks.
Oh my gosh! This is soooo darned cute, and I totally agree with all the rest here, it can just be used for so many amazing things, and I have already a couple of ideas brewing back in my head here. Your card here are sooo beautiful but what else to expect with such a little cutie ha ha ha.
Thanks sooo much for your always amazing tutorials here, that makes it sooo easy to get startedd onm everything.
Have a wonderful day and lots of crafty fun.
How cute are these?! Absolutely fabulous card. So, so clever, Becca

Hi Becca, This card is truly beautiful !! I never knew that washi tape came in this beautiful printed pattern. I love these shoe dies, both ladies and gents. I’m off to watch ‘how to’ now.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
That is the cutest little shoe!!! Thank you for the tutorial. Actually, I probably shouldn’t have watched it, because now I have to get that die. And I had previously resisted….You’re a dangerous woman, Becca Feeken :-D
Super CUTE indeed!!! Thanks ever so much for the video.
Hi Becca. Love your gorgeous girly card. Hugs xxx

Hi Becca. Oh what a fun card for the shoeaholics in our lives. I know my granddaughter who’s 6 would love to receive a card like this as she’s always wearing all my stilettos. Will watch how-to-do video tomorrow. Thank you x
I adore this card and the darling little shoes. What a super sentiment too, which combined with the shoes would make anyone feel very special.

Awesome card; so feminine, so delicate, so pretty. Love the sentiment and the design. Wish I had gotten this die for my female May birthdays. Maybe I can do something like this next year. Thanks for your vision. I want the male shoe also. They are on my wishlist with all your new dies released so far.
Wooooow!!!! I’m back! Just watched the tutorial. Loved it! But the introductory fonts to that tutorial just took my breath away!! The swirls and curls, they look like quilling. If I could have copied them I would have. I know they’re your handiwork, too. Totally Beccaliciious!!!!!!
Hi, Becca! I LOVE your creations and this card is no exception! I have this die and can’t wait to do a version of this card! It is so sophisticated. I love it.
Also appreciate the tutorial. Speaking of tutorials, can you do a video tutorial on how to use the Bow Helpers and Closures dies? Thank you.
I’m loving these instructional videos Becca. And i am gradually working through my list of your wedding collection dies….that i so need!
Becca my eyes are very old now so i have trouble seeing how you are putting things together when it is shown against the black script background a plain table would be easier!
