Changing up Fall Flower to Spring Posy

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

You can view the complete blog post on Cut at Home's blog here.  On today's video I've taken the Sizzix BIGZ die and Textured Impression duo Fall Flower and changed it into the spring posy you see above.  I'll share examples of what your die cutting machine can cut with a Sizzix BIGZ die. We'll change the flower from a flat one dimensional piece into the 3 dimensional flower above using spray starch and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists.

Be sure and check out the video and stop by Cut at Home's store for a fabulous selection of products to help inspire your next creative adventure.

Sizzix Foxy Easel Greeting Card

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Hi everyone, today I've got a little different style than what I normally do, it's a cute Foxy card using Sizzix BIGZ die called Fox #2.  I ran it through my Big Shot numerous times to get the different pieces to paper piece her together.  The papers are from the Tattered Lace magazine, I love that you get papers in each magazine.

Off camera I decide my little Foxy Lady needed a little more glam so I added some Bronze Stickles to her ears and Wink of Stella to her cheeks, tail and tummy.

There will be a complete start to finish on today's video along with more photos so I hope you'll join me there.

Fold-A-Long Christmas Tree Cards

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Hi everyone today I'm sharing four cards I've made using Sizzix's Fold-A-Long Christmas Tree Card die set.  With this set you cut on the fold creating the three attached trees.  You also get dies to cut the solid inner tree and the sentiment that sits atop it.  You get two small dies to cut ornaments and leaves, which I didn't use this time. 

I tried several different techniques just to see the difference between them.  On this first card I used green Coredina'tions cardstock and glittered the sentiment with Wink of Stella. 

The second card is white on white.  White cardstock with White tinsel glitter atop from Martha Stewart.  I love this look but had a hard time keeping the tinsel on the trees.  I finally used some hairspray and added a good coat on top and that seemed to do the trick. This time I used a silver glitter paper for the sentiment and tie the trees shut with a wire edged silver and white ribbon.

The card I'm going to make on video with you uses gold foiled paper for the tree bases and red glitter paper for the solid background tree for the sentiment.  I adorned the tress with red bling droplets.

To complete the set I cut envelopes from white cardstock.  I edged them in red and silver ink and Zig Painty FX in gold to match the cards.  I then stamped sentiments using Lawn Fawn's Winter Scripty Sayings stamp set. 

Join me on today's video for a walk through of the cards, a start to finish sharing the process and more photos for your inspiration.

Dresser Drawer Boxes

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I've got a wide assortment of inspiration for you all cut from Sizzix's new BIGZ XL die Box with Drawers.  I just love how different each looks from the change of papers and embellishments.  

Each year I try to find something small and cute to make up for Christmas presents for my neighbors and I think I've found what I'll be making this year.  Here I've used Graphic 45's newest collection A Christmas Carol.  All I need now is to decide what sweet treats I'll fill each drawer with.

I like to have things on hands to give to friends as well and wouldn't this work well for a thank you or Happy Birthday?  Filling the drawers with some money for my teen aged Granddaughters wouldn't be a bad idea either.

The drawers measure a tad over 2 inches square x 3/4" high so in total the case is just shy of 3 1/2" .  You can use any paper collection to decorate the drawers inside and out and line the inner and outer case to hold them in. 

With just bits and bobs of lace, bling, flowers and trinkets you're sure to have just what you need for the top as well.  I used Spellbinders Coredina'tions Celebrations Whirl White and Cuddle Cream for my base and drawers.

The possibilities are really endless with just a little imagination.   With these drawers I misted them with 3 of Tim Hotz's newest colors, Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral, great color combos.

I hope you'll be inspired to make your own boxes real soon!

On today's video I'll share the tips and tricks I discovered while making my boxes, the sizes you'll need to cut to mat everything and loads more photos.  Thanks for joining me everyone.

Tudor Rose Card with Stephanotis Flowers

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I'd like to share a card I've made using Spellbinders new Card Creator die, Tudor Rose Card Front.  I combined this die with Sizzix Susan's Garden dies, the flower Stephanotis.  Adding a lace rosette was the perfect nesting place for the three flowers.

The butterfly comes from the Sizzix BigZ die Butterfly duo.  It's duo because not only do you get the die which has two sizes of butterflies but also the matching Texture Fades Embossing folder.  I colored mine with an assortment of Tim Holtz Distress Inks including the new Cracked Pistachio.

The flowers were a little fiddly but I like the end result especially with the lace all sweetly tucked around them.

Check out my video for lots of ideas and a complete start to finish process.

Four Cards to Inspire

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Today I'm offering up four different cards made with Sizzix Framelit's Flip-it's #2.  I love these dies they have all you need to cut the card base and the embellishments.  Use what you have on hand or treat yourself to a new collection to make your cards pop.

I also used Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Bugs to make this cute card, you not only get 8 dies but you also get a Stamp set with 7 stamps including this darling ladybug!

Today's video will include a start-to-finish for each of the cards I've made today plus many more still photos to give you lots of ideas to play with.

While you have your paper and supplies out why not make a matching envelope for each card, nothing is better than tucking that home made masterpiece into a lovely envelope for the recipient! Use a corner punch to jazz up the back flap like I did here with Martha Stewart's Vintage Floral punch.

I hope you'll join me on the video and get inspired to make your own Flip-it cards today.

Sizzix Juke Box Card

a Cut at Home Design Team Project

Sizzix has released some of the cutest retro dies including the Jukebox and Music and the Retro Sign.  I had to laugh when I saw the sign, I'm going to date myself here, but I instantly saw George Jetson from the cartoon sitcom The Jetsons, when I saw that sign.  And I'll tell you I've been singing that theme song for days now!

Along with the Dies, Cut at Home sent me the Sizzix Project Sheet #30372 as well, which I followed as well as I could with the papers I had on hand.  You can find it here if you'd like to make this card as well.

I finished off the inside for an anniversary card for some special people I know who love the 50's and anything Retro but you could use this for any occasion.  I seldom paper the top of the inside but I just love this polka dot and went back and matted it as well.  I like the look I may do it more often.  These dies would also be darling accessories to a mini or scrapbook page.

Below is the step by step video which I really sped up in parts but I wanted you to see how the jukebox is constructed and the card put together.  It's super fun to make and goes together very easily.

Thanks everyone for stopping by, I hope you'll become a blog follower if you haven't already.
