Here’s How to Use Spellbinders New Drop-Shadow Joy Die

Hello!  

Thank you for stopping by!  Spellbinders just released a die that’s unique called Drop-Shadow Joy by Yana Smakula in her City Holiday collection.  It’s linked below (afil—thank you so much for my links!)  I also have Spellbinders layering chart to help you deal with the tiny pieces!

There are a few variations to try:  the single without the drop-shadow and layering the drop-shadow with one or two colors.  The one above has one shadow, the one below has two.  

I used a couple of Rangers seasonal mica sprays to make the background and three shades of red cardstock to diecut joy.

For background, I sprayed some Distress Mica Sprays onto white watercolor cardstock.  I used three shades of red for “joy.”

Here’s the user guide:

Here are the supplies I used:

Until next time,

Mickey 'N Minnie Made Easy: How to Manage Large Layering Die Sets!

 Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  I've been having fun with Spellbinder's Steamboat Willie die set and thought I'd share some tips on how to "wrangle" it;)

I've listed the supplies I used and linked them below (AFIL- Thank you!)  I noticed the Spellbinder's website is out of stock, but all you need to do is hit that "notify me" button and they will let you know when it's available again!

I decided to take a Sharpie and number them on the package and the dies.  Several of them look a lot alike, such as the arms.  Here's a link to a list I made for you:

I share how to assemble these (kinda like "paper dolls") in a quick tutorial:

There is also a chart supplied by Spellbinders:

I hope you will give this a try and it makes assembly easier!

I'm off to "Paperganza!"  It's a mini-convention sponsored by Craft Roulette and Pear Blossom Press.  Will report back soon!

Bye for now!
