Did you ever make paper boats as a child? It is so nostalgic to fold a piece of piece of paper and then watch it float! Spellbinder's captured this nostalgia with their die stitching die "Hand Folded Stitch" (I see it's on clearance now too, so grab it while you can!).
I really love this die because it is very different from most die cuts I see today, and I have three grandsons, so I will get a lot of use out of it! 😀
Whenever I use a new die, I either just follow the example the die came with, or I case a card. I feel that is necessary until I get acquainted with the card. After I become familiar with all the different pieces then I am more comfortable creating my own design. This card was cased from this one on Pinterest. I really liked her design and about the only thing I really changed was the sentiment.
To make my card I just die cut all the pieces, did the stitching and assembled them. Sorry for the glue showing, I don't think my 4 year old grandson minded 😀. I used different shades of white and light grey for the background and boat. The waves were cut with another die cut out of two different shades of blue. The sentiment is from the set. The oval panel and the boat are popped up on dimensionals.
Have A Great Day! Amy
