Alex Syberia Designs for Spellbinder!

I was thrilled to be invited to play with the new products that Spellbinder and Alex Syberia Designs teamed up to make!  They sent me three of Alex's products - let me share the fun I had with them... first up her darling Kokeshi Dolls:


Having these photos was very helpful as there are LOTS of little pieces
to this set but each is integral for her!  I pulled out my colored card stock snippets
for many of those little pieces - they turned out so colorful and pretty!

This card combines another of Alex's SB products used as my background called
Parasols - it's a Betterpress plate!  Here I've used it to add glorious texture.
The detailed panel is SB S5-568: Scrolled Punch and Pierce Plate.
The branch is S3-459 Sealed Birds.
Sentiment: STP 183: Fill my Heart, cut with the smallest SB S5-562 Essential Ovals 


I love the combination of purples and peaches, do you?
Card base embossed using SB Four Petal Floral EF
Center panel: S5-563: Essential Four Petal Labels which also has that lovely 
Betterpress-ed BP-289 Parasol texture.
Another sentiment from STP-183 cut with the smallest SB S5-562 Essential Ovals

Now, for my last card that was created using all three of the products I received 
including these lovely fans:




Isn't she lovely?  I think this might make a wonderful wedding or anniversary card
with one of my favorite BP-026 A Little Message sentiments!


You will be seeing lots of cards made with these lovely Spring in Kyota from Alex Syberia for Spellbinder around blogland - thanks so much for stopping by to see mine today!  You'll find these products and more from the collection at Spellbinders and at Alex Syberia Designs, too!

Each of these is beautiful, Michele! The bright colors of the first one are so eye catching. The purple and peach go beautifully together and the 3D embossed background makes this little miss look like she's walking in a beautiful garden. The last card is breathtaking! How have I missed this press plate? And that fan has stolen my heart!

What a blessing to showcase these adorable dolls! And I might add, you did it magnificently, as each is as adorable as can be! I love the colors (yes, peach and purple too), plus your finale is pretty fantastic

Oh my word. These are just gorgeous and lucky you being sent them. You have done them proud. Yes, I have today seen the emails for their launch. So pretty, but so many tiny pieces, I would be sure to lose them xx

Great work showcasing this amazing dies, Michele. I LOVE the colours of your first and second card ... so bright and beautiful. But it's the third card that made me gasp outloud!! Such a beautiful combination of elements that are elegant in gold and white. xx

Leslie Miller said...

Oh, my! I've been scrolling from first to last and back again for the longest time. What beauties these are! What wonderful dies and press plate, plus the extras you added. The colors and the bird/branches on the first, the gorgeous embossing on the second, and the elegance of the third with the gold and white, and the fan and the background showing off so beautifully -- I love it all! Wow!

Linda Callahan said...

OK I had to look at this post three or four times - omg - stunning!! You outdid yourself girlfriend and that’s not easy to do!

Bobby said...

Those dolls are adorable, Michele. It's like playing dress-up with paper dolls and I'm sure you had fun with them.
