You go, gull!

Sharing a card using the @teamspellbinders Shipmates. I had a bit of fun customizing the dies to make them more realistic. For the raincoat, I used clear embossing powder to give it that typical shine and for the sailor sweater, I used a striped stencil to mimic the seagull sweater. Finally, I also used the Large lumber embossing folder from Tim Holtz and Sizzix for the boat hull and mast.

Sending love

Today, I'm sharing another way to stretch the use of the Spring tulips stencil set. Hand-drawing is not one of my skills, so I welcome any workaround to help me hand-draw a little something. For today's project, I used the Alex Syberia Designs Spring tulips stencil set to draw the outlines of the tulips, as well as their details. This project is one of the 5 projects I created for the July issue of the Creative Stamping Magazine No. 150. The projects all follow the same color scheme (red, yellow, orange, green and turquoise).

Grateful for you always

I have a couple projects for @alexsyberiadesigns today combining a few products from the 'Spring in Kyoto' release with @teamspellbinders. Once again, I played with origami paper from my stash to created a set of cards coordinating the fans and kimonos.  Alex Syberia Designs and Spellbinders products: Kokeshi dolls die set Fan & bow die se Floral fans embossing folder + Floral splendor cover die + Classic sentiments press plate and die To create these cards, I started with the fans, using the Fan & bow die set . The die set is comprised of a base and stand-alone panels to layer onto the base. I die cut the base from plain cardstock and then the panels from the origami paper, and then again from white cardstock to layer underneath the origami paper which is very thin. I die cut the sticks from black cardstock and the bows from plain cardstock matching the colors of the origami sheets. I assembled the fans with liquid adhesive, first adhering the sticks to the base, from ...
