Where in the World Are We?




This is the Sweet Petite Sailing Ship from Die-Version's September New Release.  I cut the shape out twice so I could change the color of the ship's sails and I also ran the ship through my Sizzix Woodgrain embossing folder.  Added a touch of Distress Ink and we're all set to set sail.

The background is actually from an old text book that was laying around.  It had lots of great maps in it.  The sentiment is a clear stamp by Stampendous that I heat embossed.



 Here's another idea for these cute dies - make cupcake toppers!  I used the same idea of cutting the shape twice so I could have different colored sails.  (I added a touch of Copic marker for shadows on the sails.)  After assembling the ship, I attached a toothpick on the back and stuck it into my cupcakes.  The ideas are endless.


Check out the new Die-Versions blog to see more great ideas from our design team and get ideas of other materials these dies will cut (think fun foam, thin cork paper, shrinky dinks.....)
