I decorated each butterfly with an Alphanumeric letter.

"Hello" word from Happiness Phrases dies set was

die cut twice - once from white cardstock and once

from pattern paper. I used the white die-cut word as a shadow.

For the middle butterfly I used the butterfly die from the bigz die

which is included in this amazing Big Shot Starter Kit,

combined of course with the matching Butterfly thinlits.

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!

¡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 Sunshine" Card by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!

Today I am sharing with you a card I created for not a 

particular occasion - it was simply fun to create a window

card by using the Circles framelits dies.

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit

660804 Sizzix thinlits Die Set Happiness Phrases 

660500 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Intricate Tribal Florals

659573 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Spring Greenery

657551 Sizzix Framelits Die Set Circles

656551 Sizzix Bigz Die Birds

*       *       *

After die cutting a circle in the middle of my double card 

I began decorating it by adding first the bird. 

After that I adhered the Happiness Phrases - 

these are attached to the card only by the ends.

Then I added the layered flower and the Spring Greenery .

I used two sorts of the Intricate Tribal Florals to create my flowers.

The Bird was die cut from corrugated cardboard and pattern paper. 

In this way it makes it steady and dimensional. 

Thank you for visiting us today!

Have a creative Sunday!

Mini Book Photos

Hello Everyody!

Today, I suggest a mini realized in a workshop at Betheny, near my home!

This mini is based on a file filled with pretty layouts, realized thanks to the Big Shot Plus, its dies and its embossing plates!

I used the "Hello" die of Craft Asylum in a mint coloured foam to put it into relief.

I played with the materials by choosing some crepe paper and fabric, in which I have cut hearts using the die from the Big Shot Plus starter kit.

I didn't resist using several times in this mini album my favourite die of the moment: the pretty openwork flower of the Big Shot Plus starter kit.

For my tags decoration (slid in pockets), I used the Brenda Walton and Rachael Bright embossing plates with white Bazzill paper.

The die "Sunshine" was ideal for the theme of my mini, because I scrapped pictures of girls posing on the beach of Arcachon last summer.

I created a small banner with triangles cut with the Craft Asylum die: you just have to stick the cut triangles next to each other and overlap them slightly.

I also wanted to add relief by using the brows die which I cut in a fabric. The result is amazing!

I created my own embellishments: Using my typewriter and a classic tracing paper, I wrote simple words in keeping with my theme. 

Then I used this paper with the flower and foliage die of the Big Shot Plus starter kit. There is how to give transparency, relief and a home-made touch to your design.

That's it for today, good day to you all!

Mini Photos

Aujourd'hui, je vous propose un mini réalisé en atelier à Betheny, tout près de chez moi!

Ce mini a pour base un classeur, rempli de jolies mis en page réalisées grâce à la Big Shot Plus, ses dies et ses plaques d'embossage!

J'ai utilisé le die "Hello" de Craft Asylum dans de la mousse couleur mint pour lui donner du relief.

J'ai joué avec les matières en proposant du crépon et du tissu, j'y ai découpé des coeurs grâce au die du kit de démarrage Big Shot Plus.

Je n'ai pas résisté à utiliser plusieurs fois dans ce mini album,  mon die préfèré du moment la jolie fleur ajourée du starter kit Big Shot Plus.

Pour la décoration de mes tags ( glissés dans les pochettes ) j'ai utilisé les plaques d'embossage Brenda Walton et Rachael Bright avec du papier Bazzill blanc.

J'ai créé une petite banderole avec des triangles découpés avec le die Craft Asylum: il suffit de coller les triangles découpés les uns à côté des autres en les faisant se chevaucher légèrement.

Le die "Sunshine" était idéal pour le thème de mon mini, puisque j'ai scrappé les photos de filles posant sur la plage d'Arcachon l'été dernier.

J'ai aussi voulu ajouté du relief grâce au die noeud découpé dans du tissu, le résultat est époustouflant!

J'ai créé mes propres embellissements: j'ai utilisé ma machine à écrire sur du calque classique en inscrivant de simples mots en rapport avec mon thème, puis j'ai utilisé ce papier avec le die fleur et feuillage du kit de démarrage Big Shot Plus. 

Et voici comment donner de la transparence, du relief et une note de fait-maison.

Et voilà pour aujourd'hui, bonne journée à tous et toutes!
