Hello there, today I have a card to share using some fun makeup themed products from the new Gorgeous You Collection from Spellbinders. I thought it would be fun to have the makeup hanging out the top of the make up bag. This card was for my niece for her 16th birthday and she loves makeup, so this collection is perfect for her!

I started off my card by die cutting the Spellbinders Gorgeous You Makeup Bag Etched Dies from Spellbinders Cardstock. I actually made this card quite some time ago and so I used the older (now discontinued cardstock). I cut the base layer of the bag from Raindrop Cardstock (this is very similar to the new Cascade Cardstock) and the top, detailed layer, from Glacier Cardstock (this is very similar to the new Windy Cardstock).
I cut the top trim and pull from Spellbinders Matte Gold Treasured Cardstock. I adhered the pieces together using Bearly Art Glue. I then die cut the Spellbinders Gorgeous You Makeup Etched Dies. The gold parts are the same cardstock as above, the pinks are the older Pink Sand and Fruit Punch (but Hero Arts Peony and Ultra Pink would work too), the top of the brush is cut from Spellbinders Alabaster Cardstock and the makeup palette uses grey (old Spellbinders Graphite). I also used black cardstock (now Raven).
Since I knew that you would be able to see the makeup pieces from the back, I cut more layers to add to the back of them (back to back). This works for symmetrical images but doesn't for non-symmetrical images. Thankfully most of these are symmetrical! I then cut another base layer of the bag to use as the back of the card.
In the set, there is a hinge piece, so that you can easily make a card base from the bag, but I wanted the card to be top folding (so that it hid the bottom of the makeup), so I scored a line at the top of the piece and added adhesive to it, before adhering to the back of the front panel.
Since it was my niece's 16th birthday, I die cut the 1 and 6 from the Spellbinders Be Bold Lower Alphabet & Numbers Etched Dies from more gold cardstock and adhered them to the bag. To finish, I added a Spellbinders Gold Mix Color Essentials Gem to the bag pull.
