Spellbinders has released the "Autumn In Kyoto" collection, designed by Alex Syberia. Following the "Spring" version, this "Autumn Kokeshi Dolls Stamp And Die features customizable hairstyles and kimono designs, allowing you to create even more stylish Kokeshi dolls.
Spellbinders から、Alex Syberiaさんデザインの、Autumn In Kyoto Autumn In Kyoto Collectionが発売されました。Springに続きAutumn Kokeshi Dolls Stamp And Die のKokeshi Dollsのダイは、さらにスタイリシュなこけしがデザインできるように、ヘアスタイルや着物のデザインがカスタマイズできる仕様になってます。
I made some small gift envelopes by using stamps, die-cutting decorative paper to create *kimono* outfits, and pairing them with stylishly colored hairstyles. I also had so much fun making *kokeshi* dolls—adding tiny accessories makes them look absolutely adorable—so I ended up creating quite a few of them.
I’ve added touches like blush and eyelashes. You can also incorporate charming accessories, pouches, ribbons, and more—it’s so much fun, I just can’t stop!
The possibilities are truly endless when you factor in all the different kimono and hairstyle combinations.
To make a small gift envelope , take a 6-inch square piece of paper and score it vertically at 1 5/8 inches and 4 5/8 inches; then, rotate the paper and score it at 5/8 inch from the bottom edge and 7/8 inch from the top edge. I cut the four corners so that they extend slightly beyond the fold lines. Glue them together.
These small envelopes will certainly come in handy, as they can be used for occasions like Shichi-Go-San, Coming-of-Age Day, or for giving card (New Year’s monetary gifts).
The *kokeshi* doll motifs can be used as cards or tags, and are also perfect for Japanese-style scrapbooking.
I created these using some products sent to me free charge.

I created two types of cards that are slightly different.: one featuring a red truck driving through a winter forest, and another showing a dark blue truck traveling along a snowy road lined with houses. Both cards transform into three-dimensional "snow globes" when slid open. On the card with the dark blue truck, you can push and pull a tab to make the truck appear as if it is bumping along the snowy road.
I will explain in detail below how these cards were created.
これらのカードをどのように作ったかを下に詳しく説明します。
A mechanism for moving a car interactively
車をインタラクティブに動かす仕かけ：
Die-cut circles for the Snow Globe out of thin paper, then fold each one in half twice to locate the center point. Draw a 1-centimeter circle centered on that point and cut it out.
Using a transparent sheet (a sturdy one—in this case, 0.3 mm shrink plastic), mark the positions of the holes by tracing them with a pen, then punch the holes out. Draw a 1 cm circle, along with a larger, concentric 2 cm circle; then, make four cuts extending inward to the inner circle to create a rivet (a central pivot paper).
This is what it looks like from the back. The transparent sheet is simply threaded onto the rotating shaft.
裏からはこのようになってます。透明シートは回転軸を通しているだけです。
Attach the transparent sheet and the two strips for the pull tabs to the base of the snow globe. When you move the pull tab y, the elements of the car move around the axis of rotation.
透明シートとプルタブ用の２本のバンド部分をSnow Globeの土台に貼ります。
プルタブを引くと、回転軸を中心に、車の要素が動きます。
Snow Globe Pop-up Slider Mechanism :
Snow Globeを立体にするスライドの仕掛け：
Prepare two sheets of paper for the pop-up mechanism, cut to the dimensions below, and color them.
ポップアップの仕掛け用の紙２枚を下記のサイズで作り着色し折ります。
Use the Snow Globe Etched Dies to create a background of houses, then attach the paper intended for the pop-up feature by aligning it with the bottom edge.
Apply white "Neon Amplify" to the paper representing the snowy path in the foreground of the snow globe, then use a heat tool to expand it, creating a texture that resembles accumulated snow.
I stamped a snowflake design onto a transparent sheet using "Staz On Snow Flake" ink. (I ended up deciding against it and removed the stamping.)
透明シートに雪のスタンプを、Staz on Snow Flakeで捺します。（これは、結局やめて消しました）
Place the snow globe cutout—which features an integrated sliding mechanism—onto the background scene depicting houses. Next, attach the pop-up mechanism along the bottom edge; when doing so, apply glue only to the two bands intended for the pull-tab.
Attach the "snow globe"—to which you have added a stamped snow effect—onto the pop-up paper.
最後に雪をスタンプした、Snow Globeを貼ります。
You now have a 3D snow globe that stands up and moves interactively.
Attach this to the card base so that it pops up when you slide it.
これで、立体に立ち上がり、インタラクティブに動くSnow Globeができました。
これを、スライドさせて立ち上がるようにカードベースに貼ります。
Slider card mechanism:
スライダーカードの仕掛け：
Fold the edges of the paper cut with the Quilted Etched Dies at the 0.5-inch and 1-inch marks, then fold it in half by aligning the creases. For the navy paper that holds the slider, cut it to a size 1 cm larger than the card base and fold the front section.
Cut the navy cardstock using the Ripple Rectangle Frames Dies . Then, take light blue and white cardstock—cut using smaller-sized dies from the same set—and layer them together; secure them by attaching a piece of paper to the back so that the entire assembly lies flat.
Quilted Etched Dies でカットしたキルティング模様の紙を、0.5インチ、１インチのサイズで両端を折ります。さらに折り目を合わせて半分に折ります。
Ripple Rectangle Frames Dies を使って、濃い青色（ネイビー）のカードストックをカットします。次に、同じセットの小さめのダイでカットした水色と白のカードストックを重ね合わせ、裏面に紙を貼り付けて全体が平らになるように固定します。
Wrap a one-inch-wide strip of paper around the navy paper and secure it with double-sided tape to create a band for the slider.
幅1インチの紙の帯をNavyの紙に巻き付け、両面テープで留めてスライダー用の帯を作ります。
Align and adhere it beneath the 1-inch section of the Quilted Etched Dies paper.
Thread the slider—which is attached to the quilted-pattern paper—through the navy-colored paper. Adhere the quilted paper to the navy paper at a point 0.5 inches from the edge opposite the slider.
Check to see if it moves like this when you slide it.
スライダーがこのように動くか確認します。
Attach the back and bottom so that the Snow Globe stands upright when the slider is moved.
スライダーを動かしたときにSnow Globeが立つように後ろと下を貼りつけます。
Apply adhesive to the Navy paper, 1 cm from the folded edge, and attach it to the card base (which opens to the side). On the opposite side, adhere a 0.5-inch section.
The sentiments that appear when you slide the piece were taken from the Tim Holtz "Festive Overlay" set. I attached the "'TIS THE SEASON" and "DECK THE HALLS" banners to the base of the Snow Glove.
スライドした時に現れるセンチメンツは、Tim Holtz のFestive Overlayのセットから使いました。Gloveの土台には 「’TIS THE SEASON」「 DECK THE HALL」のバナーを取り付けました。
For this project, I used the "Snow Globe" and "Holiday Truck" etched dies by Simon Hurley to create a snow globe-style card. It features a vintage truck—loaded with a Christmas tree and colorful gifts—driving through a snowy forest and past a row of houses. Another die set, "City Skating Scene Etched Dies By Simon Hurley , has also been released; I’m looking forward to using it—either on its own or combined with this design—to create a shaker card.
ビンテージトラックにクリスマスツリーと色とりどりのプレゼントを積んで雪景色の森の中や家並みを走るシーンのSnow Globeのカードを作りましたが、スケートをするシーンのダイ City Skating Scene Etched Dies By Simon Hurley もリリースされています。こちらも組み合わせて、Shaker card や単独でカードとしても使ってみたいと思います。
