What’s best for a townly mini book than the Sizzix triangle shapes dies? This is a set I don’t grow tired of! I used it for my graphic Mint page last week and now here are these little triangles cut out of pattern papers and cardstock. They are used as a common thread in my album.

I also set my heart on the big alphabet letters and numbers! They are cut out of black plain paper for more contrast.

The letters NYC are glued with 3D black foam to add some volume. They will be decorated with embellishments.

Time for pictures of the pages realized with these fantastic dies!

Have a nice day,

Quoi de mieux comme motifs pour un mini album urbain que les dies triangulaires Sizzix ? Voici un set que je ne me lasse pas d'utiliser ! Pour une page Mint et graphique la semaine dernière, aujourd'hui les petits triangles sont perforés dans des chutes de papiers imprimés et cardstock et s'utilisent tel un fil conducteur tout au long de mon album.

J'ai également jeté mon dévolu sur les grosses lettres et chiffres ! Ceux-ci sont découpés dans du papier noir uni pour un maximum de contrastes.

Les lettres NYC sont montées en 3D avec de la mousse noire afin d'apporter du volume. Elles seront ensuite simplement décorées avec des embellissements

Place aux visuels des pages réalisées avec ces superbes dies !

Bonne journée

A little bird......

Another week another great collection from Brenda Walton. 

This week we are looking at a Thinlits set called Birdcage which comprises the eponymous cage and a couple of gorgeous bird dies.

I come from an Illustration/cartoon background and my real strength is in my draughtsmanship. I spent the first 18 years of my life sat cross-legged on the floor with a pencil and a pile of paper, I can still sit like this for hours but nowadays it takes me a while to get back up after!

As the result of my background, great draughtsmanship really stands out for me and Brenda's dies never disappoint on this score. They are always sleek, elegant and well balanced which makes me very happy.

I have die-cut half of the cage from light grey card and the birds from white card (aren't they great?)

Next, I rolled out some white chalky finish paint with a brayer and applied to the die-cut cage, I deliberately left it patchy so not too much paint! Once it was dry I used some text stamps to add a little detail.

I applied some aqua coloured acrylic to both birds with my brayer followed by a little grey. Next, I applied a little green paint using a foam applicator before adding stamped detail using grey ink.

I chose a phrase which I typed into my PC before printing out. I then trimmed the phrase into three separate lines before applying a little Distress Ink. Next, I stamped the large body of text onto my white base card using the grey ink again.

 Here is the finished card all assembled and that should be that..... but I got a little carried away!

I had to make another quick card so I cut a stencil using the splatter die from the Thinlits Scribbles & Splat Set by Tim Holtz. I placed the stencil onto a white base card and used Mustard Seed and Wild Honey Distress Ink applied with a foam applicator. While the stencil was still in place I flicked some water onto the image before dabbing with a clean tissue.

 I applied the 'Thank you' stamp (Darkroom Door) with black ink and added some extra stamped detail before die cutting the bird from black card.

 It's simple but I like it and that wraps up this week...... Oh! shall we do one more?

I cut a rectangle of wood effect patterned card and used a craft knife to give the appearance of miss-matched planks before applying dark Distress Ink to the edges.

I die-cut the bird from grey patterned card and die-cut a circle aperture into the card using one of my beloved circle Framelits. I then cut a rectangle of the grey patterned card and rounded off the corner with a punch before applying Distress Ink around the edges and stamping the legend 'Home Sweet Home' using dark grey ink.

Bit of Distress Ink around the edges of the bird to add a little contrast and layer it all up using adhesive foam pads.... Simple! 

Love this set in case you hadn't guessed!

Be happy and enjoy set

Hi Sizzix friends!

It’s Friday again so Raquel is here. The project I want to show you today is a smart set that consists in a card and an open box to keep some sweets inside. Let me show this cute set...

To create this set I’ve used my Big Shot Plus and the starter kit, the trellis embossing folder, the Be happy die, the leaf die and the ticket Framelit. I have chosen neutral colours for this set that it could be perfect for a man as for woman.

The box:

This open box was perfect to create a beautiful package that keeps the sweets inside a burlap bag. To decorate the box I’ve die-cut a ticket label, stamped a positive message and added a die-cut leaf.

Here are some steps of the process:

I’ve die-cut the box, but not the cover, in dark brown. Then I’ve die-cut the ticket label and the leaf, cut the corrugated cardstock -5mm smaller than each face of the box and then I’ve glued all the parts together.

The card:

I’ve modified the order of the colours but I’ve used the same dies to create the set. 

I’ve used the trellis embossing folder to create this beautiful background, I’ve die-cut the ticket label and die-cut also the Be happy on it. As I wanted to use the same elements as in the box, I’ve also die-cut the leaves in white colour.

I love this neutral colour combination that gives to the set a smart result. 

I have used the following Sizzix products:

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)

656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies  

658356 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Rose Vines & Trellis Set

657569 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Tickets

660822 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Back to Nature #2

660804 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Happiness Phrases

I hope you liked this cute set and that it has given you a bit of inspiration. Thank you for your visit!

Have a creative and happy Friday!

Raquel

¡Hola a todos!

De nuevo es viernes así que aquí estoy con un nuevo proyecto. En esta ocasión se trata de un elegante conjunto que consta de una tarjeta y de una caja abierta que contiene unos dulces. Pero mejor os lo enseño...

Para crear este conjunto he utilizado mi Big Shot Plus y el kit de inicio, la carpetilla de  la carpetilla de embossing trellis , el troquel Be happy, el troquel de hoja y el ticket Framelit.  para este set que es perfecto tanto para mujer como para hombre.

La caja: 

Esta caja abierta es ideal para contener, de forma decorativa, una bolsa de arpillera con los dulces. Para decorar la caja he troquelado la etiqueta, he sellado un mensaje positivo y he añadido una bonita hoja troquelada.

Algunos pasos del proceso:

He troquelado la caja, pero no la tapa, en cartulina marrón café. Después he troquelado la etiqueta y la hoja, he cortado cartulina corrugada 5mm más pequeña que las caras de la caja y finalmente he pegado todos los elementos.

La tarjeta:

He modificado el orden de los coloes pero he utilizado los mismos troqueles para que conjuntaran.

He utilizado la la carpetilla de embossing trellis para crear este bonito fondo, he troquelado la etiqueta y el mensaje en ella. Como quería utilizar los mismos elementos que en la caja, he troquelado también las hojas en cartulina blanca.

Me encanta esta combinación de colores que le aporta un toque de elegancia al conjunto.

He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)

656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies  

658356 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Rose Vines & Trellis Set

657569 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Tickets

660822 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Back to Nature #2

660804 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Happiness Phrases

Espero que os haya gustado este conjuto y que os pueda servir de inspiración. ¡Gracias por la visita!

Feliz y creativo viernes.

Hello!

Embellishments: Ephéméria

Labels: 4heures37

Stencil: The Crafter's Workshops

Ink: Distress Ink Evergreen Bough

This is a page I particularly like with my favorite colours of the moment! It is very easy to realize thanks to the triangle dies by Sizzix!

Start by cutting 3 pictures. Do not hesitate to create unusual framings. Get rid of the superfluous and go directly to the point!

Use several die shapes with different pattern papers and cardstocks. Then put your shapes on white cardstock which has been previously stamped on with a stamp “definition de l’été” (a summer definition).

Superimpose your shapes; glue some of them with 3D foam for more volume.

Then cut small foliage shapes & nice trees out of your 4heures37 pattern papers. Decorate with labels and here you are! Finish by making some splashes with your Stabilo Pen68 felt-tip pens.

Time for pictures now dring the class ! Thanks to my creative students !

Voici une page que j'aime énormément dans mes couleurs du moment ! Très simple à réaliser grâce aux dies triangulaires Sizzix !

Commencez par découper 3 photos, osez les cadrages non conventionnels, on élimine le superflus et on va à l'essentiel !

Utilisez plusieurs formes de découpes, des imprimés différents et du cardstcok. Placez ensuite vos formes sur votre cardstock blanc préalablement tamponné ici et là avec un tampon “définition de l'été”.

Superposez vos formes, montez certaines en 3D pour plus de relief.

Découpez ensuite des petits feuillages, des jolis arbres dans vos papiers imprimés 4heures37, décorez simplement avec des étiquettes et le tour est joué ! Eclaboussez enfin avec vos feutres Stabilo Pen68 en touche finale.

Are you up to a touch of neon to start October under the sign of color and good mood? I dived back with pleasure into my Neon kit which I used for a project I showed you last month :-)

Cardstock: American Crafts

Stickers: American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Custom & Craft

For this page I wanted to keep the atmosphere of the Custom & Craft papers, adding a touch of neon with Izink inks and the labels from Ephéméria!

I started by gluing my picture, stickers all around the picture and adding color with Izink inks and Stabilo Pen68 felt-tip pens. The stage is now set.

I cut small triangles out of paper scraps with my super die “Sizzix Framelits Plus Die Set 10PK-bunting”!!!! I love this new product and you shall find it on lots of my future creations!

And with the marvelous Alphabet die, I cut a “&” shape.

Then I added some splashes and some neon touches here and there to add some volume!

Bonjour !

Une petite touche de fluo pour débuter ce mois d'Octobre sous le signe de la couleur et de la bonne humeur, ça vous dit ? Je me suis replongée pour cette page avec grand plaisir dans mon kit Néon dont j'avais présenté le projet le mois dernier :)

Matériel :

Kit Néon 

Papiers : Custom&Crafts

Cardstock : American Crafts

Stickers : American Crafts, Heidi Swapp, Custom&Craft

Etiquettes, pastilles : Ephéméria

Masking Tape : Hema

Izink : Aladine

Stabilo Pen68

Pour réaliser cette page j'avais dans l'idée de rester dans le design des papiers Custom&Craft et de rajouter une touche de fluo avec les encres Izink et les étiquettes Ephéméria !

J'ai commencé par coller ma photo, des autocollants tout autour, un peu de couleur avec les Izink et mes feutres Stabilo Pen68. Le décor est planté.

Dans mes chutes de papiers j'ai découpé des petits triangles avec mon super die “Sizzix Framelits Plus Die Set 10PK-bunting” !!!! Une nouveauté que j'adore et que vous allez sans nulle doute retrouver sur beaucoup de mes créations !

Encore une merveille avec le die Alphabet, dans lequel j'ai découpé le “&”.

J'ai ensuite complété ma page avec quelques éclaboussures et des petites touches néon tout en volume !

Bonne journée à vous
