Home decor with cork trivet

Hi Everyone! This is Anna.

Today I would like to share a short tutorial about how to create a Home décor using gorgeous new product!

Have you seen the new Love Birds collection? Adoreeee! The dies are a great size for Papercraft, also A4 size for Big Shot Plus.

As soon as I got my hands on them I had to make a project with one of them. The idea of my home décor start from a simple and affordable cork trivet...

 

 

 

How to make:

I traced the cork on the wrong side of my fabric.

I added some cm all the way around the circle before cutting the fabric.

I used my glue gun to attach the fabric to the cork.

I embellished using Sizzix Big Shot Plus machine and new die Sizzix Thinlits Plus Die - Love Birds 3-D Floral #2.

I used also a Bigz die to diecut a branch with leaves.

 

 

To make flower: Die-cut 3-D Floral from cardstock. Starting at the outside of the Flower, wrap the end around a wood dowel like a wooden skewer.

When you finish rolling the Flower, remove the stick and tighten or loosen the bundle to your liking. Finish the Flower by adding a glue dot or a drop of hot glue to the inside of the circular flap at the very center of the Flower. Close the flap against the bottom loops of the Flower.

 

 

That’s it for me today!

Happy crafting!

Per le amiche italiane! :)

 

Ciao a tutti! Sono Anna e sono qui con un nuovo progetto Sizzix.

Oggi vorrei condividere un breve tutorial per creare un Home decor utilizzando una nuova fantastica fustella, che credo proprio vi piacerà!

Non so se avete già visto la nuova collezione Love Birds. Io l'adoro! Le fustelle sono perfette per il Papercraft, anche in formato A4 da usare con la Big Shot Plus.

Non appena ho avuto tra le mani qualcuna di queste fustelle ho dovuto subito provarle, realizzando questo semplice progetto. L'idea del mio home decor parte da un semplice ed economico sottopentola in sughero... vi spiego meglio!

 

Come fare:

Ho segnato il cerchio del sottopentola sul rovescio del mio tessuto.

Ho aggiunto alcuni centimetri tutto intorno al cerchio prima di tagliare la stoffa.

Con la colla a caldo, ho fissato il tessuto al sughero, schiacciando bene per evitare brutte arricciature.

Ho quindi abbellito il mio pannello base con la macchina Sizzix Big Shot Plus e la nuova fustella Sizzix Thinlits Plus Die - Love Birds 3-D Floral #2.

Ho usato anche una fustella Bigz per tagliare un ramoscello dal cartoncino, che avevo precedentemente spruzzato con colore spray. Per il ramoscello ho usato una fustella, che ormai è un classico, è che fa parte degli “Essential Range” (elenco materiali in fondo).

Per fare il fiore: fustellare il 3-D Floreal dal cartoncino. Quindi, partendo dalla parte esterna del Fiore, avvolgere l'estremità intorno ad un spiedino di legno (vedi foto).

Al termine estrarre il Fiore, togliere lo spiedino e avvolgere o srotolare a proprio piacimento, in modo da rendere più piccola o più grande la rosa. Mettere un po' di colla o una goccia di colla a caldo al centro del Fiore (sul retro) e chiudere sopra il lembo finale.

 

Questo è tutto per me oggi!

Happy crafting!

Having fun with a bottle photo frame

Hi everybody!

For more than 15 years i've been teaching leisure instructors in Escola Empordà (Emporda School). And the last summers organize a Summer School with a lot of workshops and activities.

This year I wanted to prepare a fun workshop with the Sizzix Big Shot and some of my favorites thinlits dies. We've been making a very creative bottle photo frame.

All the leisure instructors students and the kids have a lot of fun doing this original bottle photo frame.

This are the Sizzix products used in this project:
660515 Sizzix Big Shot PLUS Starter Kit (White and Gray)

¡Hola a todo el mundo!

Desde hace más de 15 años estoy dando clase a monitores y directores de ocio y tiempo libre en la Escola Empordà. Y los últimos veranos organizan una escuela de verano con una gran cantidad de talleres y actividades.

Este año quería preparar un taller muy divertido con la Sizzix Big Shot y algunos de mis troqueles thinlits favoritos. Hemos hecho una botella-marco de fotos muy creativo.

Todos los monitores y directores de ocio y tiempo libre y los niños se lo pasaron en grande haciendo esta botella-marco de fotos tan original.

A little Kitten frame

Hi everybody! Elena here. 

Today I want to share with you a home decor idea you can make with the beautiful Playful Kitten die by Deby Potter.

Supply list:

• 660200 Sizzix Big Shot machine
• 660870 Sizzix Thinlits Die - Playful Kitten
• Watercolor paper
• Black card
• Pattern paper
• Distress Inks
• Distress Markers
• Foam squares

Normally I like to die cut this type of dies out of different colors of card, but in this case I have tried to color the design with Distress markers. I like how fresh it turned out, with this watercolor effect you can achieve with these markers.

After coloring it I have matted the design with black card and some colorful pattern papers and I have framed it all together. It is a perfect home decor piece for a child's room or in a young kitten lover's home.

I hope you like it!

Elena

..........................

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy os enseño un cuadrito para decorar la casa hecha con uno de los estupendos troqueles de Deby Potter.

Normalmente me gusta troquelar este tipo de troqueles con cartulinas de diferentes colores e ir montando el diseño, pero en esta ocasión he preferido troquelarlo con papel de acuarela y darle color con rotuladores Distress. Me encanta el efecto desenfadado que se consigue, casi como una acuarela, tan de moda estos días.

Después de darle color, le he puesto una cartulina negra detrás y unos cuantos papeles decorados bastante divertidos. El resultado es una pieza de decoración perfecta para la habitación de un niño o en una casa de algún amante de los gatos joven.

¡Espero que os guste!

Hi! I'm Quim Díaz and I have a very ugly pencil case.

Hello everybody!

Holidays end, it's about time to return to school or work, and has come into my hands a very ugly pencil case!

I thought a few days on how to do something cute with it. Finally with a little chalk and paint, and  one of my favorite Big Shot Plus Starter Kit dies I can have a beautiful pencil case.

And if you want to see how ugly it was before, and do something similar, here you have a video tutorial where you can see how I did it.

¡Hola a todo el mundo!

Las vacaciones finalizan, ya es hora de regresar a la escuela o el trabajo, y ha llegado a mis manos un estuche muy feo!

Pensé unos días en cómo podía hacer algo chulo con el. Finalmente con un poco de chalk paint y uno de mis troqueles preferidos del kit de inicio de la Big Shot Plus, he podido tener un estuche muy bonito.

Si quieres ver lo feo que era antes y/o hacer algo similar, arriba tenéis un video tutorial donde se puede ver cómo lo he hecho.

Love House altered frame

Happy Friday everyone, It's Anna with a new Sizzix project.

I'm in the home stretch until summer vacation! Just four more days! I'm so looking forward to the slower paced summer days. No schedules, no running... yeah!

Today I would like to share a short tutorial about how to create a Home decor: a sweet little house on a canvas background.

 

 
This frame is a cute gift (for others or yourself) and is the perfect choice to celebrate a young couple, a new house or an anniversary.
 

 
How to make:
Preparing your frame: once you have purchased your frame, remove the packaging, glass and mat from the frame.
I first covered my background frame with fabric.
I cut out my house from some patterns and put it together using Original die.
I stitched on die cut house and roof.
I cut out the "love" from felt using my Big Shot Plus. The thickness of the Original dies (or Bigz) makes it very easy to cut through thick materials as felt.
The last embellishment was the heart that I created with Original dies, glued above lace.
Ready to hang!
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to sharing even more ideas and projects using Sizzix dies!

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Buon Venerdì a tutti, sono Anna con un nuovo progetto Sizzix.

Finalmente sono in dirittura d'arrivo per le vacanze estive! Mancano pochi giorni! Non vedo l'ora di abbandonare i ritmi lavorativi e passare bei momenti senza orari, senza correre...

Ma veniamo a noi, oggi vorrei condividere un breve tutorial su come creare un facile home decor: una dolce casetta su uno sfondo di tessuto.

Questa cornice può essere un simpatico regalo (per gli altri o per se stessi) e adatto a festeggiare una giovane coppia, una casa nuova o anche un anniversario.

 
Ecco come fare:

Preparazione della cornice: togliere l'imballaggio, il vetro e il retro.

Rivestire il lo sfondo in tessuto a scelta. Io ho scelto una stoffa dalla trama pesante, di un bel colore viola.

Ho fustellato la mia casetta con la fustella Original, usando ritagli di carte fantasia.

Ho cucito a macchina la casa e il tetto direttamente sul tessuto. Se volete potete solo incollare, senza cucire.

Tagliare con la Big Shot Plus la parola "love" da un pezzo di feltro. Lo spessore delle fustelle Original (così come le Bigz) rende molto facile tagliare materiali spessi come feltro, stoffa ecc

Come ultimo tocco, ho fustellato due cuoricini, li ho sovrapposti ed incollati sopra ad una striscia di pizzo colorato. Un bottone di stoffa sulla “o” dona un tocco più “handmade” a tutto l'insieme.

Ecco il quadretto, pronto da appendere o da regalare!

 

Bene, spero che il progetto di oggi vi sia piaciuto. Non vedo l'ora di condividere altre idee e progetti utilizzando le magiche fustelle Sizzix!

Ci rivediamo sempre qui, venerdì prossimo, questa volta con un post programmato, perchè non ci si ferma nemmeno in vacanza! ;)

Fast and beautiful layout

Hi everybody!

This week I want to work with only a few things and try to do something nice with a sheet of watercolor paper, some cool dies and one spray ink.

I created a layout very easy to do, fast and beautiful. I've put in a house frame, but you can make the same idea in a regular square layout.

I love the result you can get from an A4 of watercolor paper and some ink spray. If you have some nice dies, almost everything is done!

¡Hola a todo el mundo!

Esta semana queria trabajar con pocas cosas y tratar de hacer algo bonito con una hoja de papel de acuarela, algunos troqueles guays y una tinta en spray.

He creado un layout muy fácil de hacer, rápido y precioso. Yo lo he puesto en un marco en forma de casita, pero se puede hacer la misma idea en un layout cuadrado habitual.

Me encanta el resultado que se puede obtener desde un papel de acuarela A4 y un poco de tinta en spray. Si tienes algunos troqueles chulos, casi todo está hecho!
