Summer Layout by Gerry van Gent

Recycling maps for cards and layouts by Paula Pascual


Last week I recorded a little segment for a UK TV program called The Crafty Beggars in which I showed some of my projects upcycling old papers including maps. Inspired by that I created two projects using old maps and the Big Shot Starter kit, one card and one quick layout. Maps are great as they have pattern, colour and they are free!



I just used the Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit  | 659765, maps, a used stamp, white and Kraft card, cork and spray ink.


Before I did anything, I glued the thin old map paper on to white card using spray adhesive. Then I die cut it using the larger Framelit heart from the Starter kit.
I then layer them together over a square piece of Kraft card. I attached it using foam pads and then added it to the card.


Finally, I added this lovely used stamp - rescued from a packaged sent from my best friend from the USA - and glued it to the card.


To make this quick and easy layout, I simply trimmed a piece of white card to measure 6 x8 inches. I spray gently the colours on the card and let then dry. Then I die cut the 1 from the map using one of the circle dies and the Heart using a cork thin sheet.

I hope you like it and inspires you to make use of those old maps and books laying around!

Two Butterfly cards using Big Shot Plus Starter Kit


Happy Labour Day everyone!
It's Anna here with you. Today I have two cards to show you, which I created using the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit. This is a Starter Kit where the possibilities are endless!
Who doesn't like butterflies? I wanted to show you how you can make some card really cute by keeping the card itself quite simple and adding a butterfly much decorative.
The butterflies are die-cut with three dies included on Starter Kit. It's been so much fun!
For this card, I used a piece of patterned paper layered on a card base. I dropped a few drops of spray ink.

I glued a strip pale pink and vellum also. Then, I just added my sweet butterfly that I cut out with Thinlits die. I added a stamp speech balloon to finish.

For my second card, I embossed the front card with Textured Impressions Embossing Folder included on Starter Kit. This one is very big: A4 size! Very helpful to make more cards at a time.

Then, I took a piece of patterned paper and I cut out the scallop border with Thinlits. I used foam tape to give select shapes dimension.
To make the butterfly I cut out the yellow shape with Bigz L die and I cut out the pink butterfly with other Thinlits. I added a button, some sequins and the sentiment strip to finish.

When you making card to give as a gift, why not make two, three or four different colours to put in your box. The cards will be ready for other gifts ;)
These are just a few ideas to get you started to use your butterflies of starter Kit. I'm sure there are a million more ways!
Thanks for stopping by :)

Per le amiche italiane! :)
 
Buon 1° Maggio a tutti!
Sono Anna ed oggi sono qui per condividere due card, che ho creato con il nuovissimo Big Shot Plus Starter Kit.
 
A chi non piacciono le farfalle? Bè a dire il vero nella mia mia vita ho trovato almeno due persone che le farfalle non le amano troppo ;)
Ad ogni modo, credo siano molto amate dalle “ragazze” di ogni età, così oggi volevo mostrare come è possibile fare un biglietto davvero carino, mantenendo la card abbastanza semplice e aggiungendo solo una farfalla, con un effetto molto decorativo.
Le farfalle che ho usato in questi due biglietti, sono state fustellate con tre fustelle incluse nel nuovo strabiliante Starter Kit, come vi dicevo!
 
Per la prima card, ho incollato un pezzo di carta scrap a righe su una semplice card bianca. Ho "macchiato" con qualche goccia d'inchiostro colorato.
Ho incollato “al confine” una striscia di colore rosa pallido e posizionato una striscia di carta da lucido. Poi, ho semplicemente aggiunto la mia dolce farfalla verde acqua, che ho tagliato con una delle fustelle Thinlits contenute nello Starter Kit. Infine ho aggiunto la timbrata con il fumetto.
 
Per la mia seconda card, ho embossato la parte anteriore con la mascherina, inclusa anch'essa nello Starter Kit. Questa in realtà è una “mascherona” :D perchè è molto grande, essendo in formato A4! Devo dire che è molto utile se si devono fare più biglietti alla volta (come per comunioni e cresime ad esempio), perchè aiuta a velocizzare di molto il lavoro. Provare per credere! ;)
Tornando alla card, ho ritagliato anche qui un pezzo di carta scrap ed ho poi fustellato il bordo smerlato con una Thinlits, sempre del Kit. Ho usato un po' di scotch spessorato per dare volume e profondità.
Per fare la farfalla ho tagliato prima la forma più grande gialla con la fustella Bigz L e poi la farfalla rosa con un'altra Thinlits. Ho aggiunto un bottone, alcune paillette e l'augurio... et voilà!
 
Quando dovete fare una card da regalare, abbastanza semplice come queste, perché non farne due, tre o quattro con colori differenti, da tenere da parte. I biglietti saranno così pronti per altri regali ;)
 
Queste sono solo alcune idee per iniziare ad utilizzare le farfalle contenute nello Starter Kit! Sono sicura che sperimentando troverete un milione di altri modi!
 
Grazie per la visita :)
A settimana prossima

Buon Venerdì a tutti, sono Anna ed oggi tocca a me postare qui.
Spero abbiate avuto una bella settimana creativa! Oggi vorrei presentarvi il nuovo Big Shot Plus Starter Kit, che offre la possibilità di allargare gli orizzonti e... la creatività! Con un nuovo elegante look e la possibilità di tagliare in formato A4, la nuova macchina è adatta a tutti, dal principiante all'esperto.
Con questo tutorial vi mostrerò come creare facilmente una ... anzi due deliziose scatoline da usare come bomboniere, utilizzando solo alcune fustelle dello Starter Kit Plus. Le scatoline sono perfette per ogni cerimonia od occasione (matrimonio, battesimo ecc).
Nel video tutorial di pochi minuti spiego, attraverso tutti i passaggi, come ho creato la prima scatolina. Fatemi conoscere il vostro parere ;)
Un progetto molto semplice, come vedete. E se pensate di farne una grande quantità, potrebbe essere una scusa per chiamare in aiuto le vostre amiche e passare, così, un bel pomeriggio insieme a giocare con la nuova macchina ;)

Blue layout by Karine



Hello!

Here is a new lay-out with the brand new collection from 4heures37 which is called Route Nationale! I chose to use one main colour for this project which is light blue.

Supply list:
Papers: 4heures37, labels
Alphabets: Basic Grey, Glitz Design
Wood accents: Studio Calico
Stamp: Denim Tampons, Studio Calico, Glitz Design
Ink: Black Versafine, Chalk Prima
Pencils: Woody Stabilo
Masking Tape

Dies:
658300 : Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit
658332 : Sizzix Sizzlits Die -Ampersands & banner
660270 : Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Stip Die-Scallops#2
660807 : Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK-sunny-flower

I really enjoyed using the latest dies I received on this page “Les filles du Jeudi”! I definitely love these modern & freestyle patterns that give dynamism to my lay-out!

I built my page with 3 little horizontal pictures, some stamps printed on the background, splashes, labels and Masking Tape. The die cuts come as a finishing touch, as for the “&” cut out of beige paper and glued with 3D adhesive. The edges are outlined with a thin-tipped black pen.

The small flowers from the Sunny Flower die set are really blending in and are outlined with black pen as well.

Then I added a border die next to my last picture. The title is made of various alphabet stickers.

A little reference to my Thursday friend Helene is made with these wonderful pictures taken during a cropping party in Sequedin: really nice souvenirs to scrapbook!







Thank you for visiting the blog and for your nice comments!

Bonjour !

Une nouvelle page aujourd'hui avec la toute dernière collection 4heures37 intitulée Route Nationale ! J'ai opté pour une page pratiquement monochrome dans les couleurs bleu ciel.

Papiers : 4heures37, étiquettes
Alphabets : Basic Grey, Glitz Design
Embellissement bois : Studio Calico
Tampon : Denim Tampons, Studio Calico, Glitz Design
Encre :Versafine noire, Chalk Prima

660807 : Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK-sunny-flower

Je me suis faite plaisir sur cette page “Les filles du Jeudi” en utilisant une sélection des dernier dies reçus ! J'aime ces formes modernes et freestyle qui donnent du pep's à ma page !

J'ai composé ma page avec 3 petites photos horizontales, quelques tampons en fond, des éclaboussures, étiquettes et du Masking Tape. Les découpes interviennent en touche finale comme le & découpé en beige et monté en 3D, les bords sont simplement relevés avecun feutre noir fin.

Les petites fleurs découpées avec le die Sunny Flower se fondent dans le décor, elles sont également réhaussées de stylo.

Enfin une petite découpe bordure à côté de ma dernière photo. Le titre est composé de divers stickers.

Un petit clin d'oeil à ma copine du Jeudi Hélène avec de superbes photos prises lors de ma crop à Séquedin, de beaux souvenirs scrappés !

Merci pour vos visites et petits mots !

Mini book Hello World ! by Karine



Mini album Hello World!

Hello!

Today’s Thursday, and I am delighted to show you a glimpse of a new project that I will teach in France from May onwards. Colours and glitter for very dynamic & cheerful pictures!

Supply list:

Cardstock: American Crafts
Papers: 4heures37, Studio Calico
Alphabets: Jenni Bowlin Studio
Labels: Custom & Craft
Glitter: Pause Créative
Stamps: Studio Calico, Bloomini Studio, Denim Tampons

Dies:

658300 :  Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit
660801 :  Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK-speech-bubbles
660804 :  Sizzix Die Set 3PK-happiness-phrases
660815 :  Sizzix Die Set 3PK-Woodland-leaves

Here I used the newly launched Sizzix dies! They are fantastic, with a thin and elaborate design. Wonderful! To add brightness and sparkle to my mini album, I felt like working with glitter.

Double-sided tape is perfect for this technique! All you have to do is cut some leaves, words and geometric patterns in this adhesive.

Then glue your die cuts on your background or your photo, peel off the upper plastic layer of the tape and sprinkle with thin glitter! Remove the extra glitter and here you are! Your glitter is fixed as if by magic! This is an easy technique that makes a good impression, don’t you think?

















Have a lovely day,

Karine

Mini album Hello World !

Bonjour !

En ce jeudi, j'ai le plaisir de vous présenter un nouveau projet que je donnerai en France à compter du mois de Mai ! De la couleur,des paillettes pour des photos tout aussi vitaminées !

Matériel :

Cardstock : American Crafts
Papiers : 4heures37, Studio Calico
Alphabets : Jenni Bowlin Studio
Etiquettes : Custom & Craft
Paillettes : Pause Créative
Tampons : Studio Calico, Bloomini Studio, Denim Tampons

Dies utilisés :

658300 :  Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit
660801 :  Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK-speech-bubbles
660804 :  Sizzix Die Set 3PK-happiness-phrases
660815 :  Sizzix Die Set 3PK-Woodland-leaves

J'ai utilisé ici les tout derniers dies Sizzix ! Ils sont superbes, tellement fins et travaillés, du bonheur ! Pour rajouter un peu d'éclat et de luminosité à mon mini album j'ai eu envie de les travailler avec des paillettes.

J'ai utilisé ici du double face recto-verso idéal pour cette technique !Il vous suffit de découper feuille texte et forme géométrique dans cet adhésif.

Collez ensuite sur votre fond ou photo, enlevez la 2nde protection plastique et saupoudrez de paillettes fines. Récupérez le surplus et le tour est joué ! Vos paillettes sont fixées comme par magie ! Une technique facile et qui fait beaucoup d'effet qu'en pensez-vous ??

Très bonne journée à vous

Karine
