Pillow Box

Hi there,

 I often need little gift packs for my friends, because I like it very much, 

to present gifts in decorative packaging.

The weather here in Germany becomes more and more cold.

So today,  I chose some frosty colored cardstocks for my Pillow Box.

Items I used:

SIZZIX Big Shot 

SIZZIX Movers & Shapers L Die - Pillow Box w/Labels by Tim Holtz

SIZZIX Thinlits Die - Birch Trees

SIZZIX Thinlits Die Set 3 PK - Back to Nature

SIZZIX Thinlits Die Set 3 PK - Back to Nature #2

SIZZIX Thinlits Die Set 2 PK - Layering Daisy #2

Since the fall slowly merges into the winter now, the packaging look a bit "chilly"...;)

I hope you like that idea. Have a lovely and creative weekend.

Summer tags for friends

Hi Sizzix friends!

Today I want to show you a little detail I’ve made for a friends summer dinner. It’s quite easy to make with a beautiful result. 

I have used the tag die to die-cut a chipboard tag, then to decorate it I’ve used colourful scraps of dots and strips papers and pieces of cardstock to die-cut the flowers.  

To personalize them I’ve added the initials of each other. 

At the back side I’ve play with the acrylic paints and stamp a beautiful message similar to “Live, dream, laugh and love”

Here are the images of each tag:

Bright colours for a summer tags!!!

I have used the following Sizzix products:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
• 660485 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 2PK - Layering Daisy #2

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy os quería enseñar unos detalles que preparé para una cena con amigas. Son unos detalles muy rápidos de hacer pero con un bonito resultado. 

Con el troquel de Tags troquelé las etiquetas en cartón gris prensado, para que tuvieran más cuerpo. Utilicé restos de papel de topos y rayas para decorarlos y luego utilicé cartulinas de colores que combinasen para troquelar las flores. Para acabar de personalizarlas le añadí la inicial de cada una.

En la cara posterior jugué con las pinturas acrílicas y también estampé un bonito mensaje " Vive, sueña, ríe y ama"

Podéis ver las imágenes de cada etiqueta:

¡¡¡Colores llamativos para una etiquetas veraniegas!!!

He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
• 660485 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 2PK - Layering Daisy #2

Wonderful Life

Hi everybody!

For our Tuesday meeting, I suggest a page of scrap. I used a picture of my friends and me, taken during a session of "relaxation".

The layout being simple, the Sizzix cuts bring relief and dynamism to the page. Indeed they contrast with the papers in soft colors.

I used the foliage die of Tim Holtz with several different papers and then I cut again some branches to stick them here and there on my page.

The flower of Craft Asylum in a marguerite shape brings relief to the page. Also the small touch of yellow gives boots. 

And to highlight my title, I cut the word "Wonderful" using the Die " Friendship words: script " of Tim Holtz in golden paper.

This die is at the moment my favourite, very enjoyable to use thanks tothe magnetic plate!!!

Items used:

660020: Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine

659436: Sizzix Bigz die Garden Green de Tim Holtz

Pour notre rendez-vous du mardi,  je vous propose une page de scrap réalisée avec une photo de mes amies  et moi prise lors d'une séance "détente".

La mise en page étant simple, ce sont les découpes Sizzix qui donnent du relief et du dynamisme car ils viennent contrastés avec les papiers au couleurs tendres.

j'ai utilisé le die feuillage de Tim Holtz avec plusieurs papiers différents et j'ai ensuite redécoupé certaines branches pour les coller ça et là sur ma page.

La fleur en forme de marguerite de Craft Asylum donne du relief.

La petite touche de jaune donne du pep's!

Et pour faire ressortir mon titre, j'ai découpé le mot "Wonderful" à l'aide du Die "Friendship words: script" de Tim Holtz dans du papier doré.

Ce die est mon "chouchou" du moment, très agréable à utiliser grâce à la plaque magnétique !!!

Bonne journée à toutes et tous...

Happy Birthday Card

Hello there,

it's Saturday again and today I want to show you an inspiration for a Birthday Card.

I used my Big Shot Plus and the SIZZIX BigZ Tribal Flowers by Craft Asylum to create this Card.

Using some yarn, gave the Flower some filigree touch.

I also combined the SIZZIX Tribal Flower with a die cut from the SIZZIX Layering Daisy #2 by Craft Asylum.

I hope you will like it. Have you a nice and creative weekend.

Colourful coasters for summer!

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

During the summer holiday it’s time to create something beautiful with our children. In this case we have decorated colourful coasters. We’ve passed a good time together trying colours and die-cutting.

Let us show you these fun coasters!

To create these coasters we have used standard cork coasters. Then we decided the colours to paint them and the dies to create girly coasters and boy coaters.

These are the materials we have used:

My Big Shot Plus, Layering daisy #2 dies, layering daisy die, splat die, die brush, cork coasters, different colours cardstock, acrylic paint, a paint brush and gel medium.

And here are the few steps to decorate them:

First we have paint in different colours one of the faces of the coasters.

Then we’ve die-cut in different colours cardstock the shapes we liked for each coasters. We’ve used the magnetic platform to die-cut with the thinlits.

We have die-cut big flowers to match the little ones.

Finally we’ve made our own combination and glued using the gel medium. We have also applied gel medium all over the top of the coasters to prevent from damaging the paper. 

Here are more details images:

 This is my favourite combination!!!

And this is the favourite of  my younger son.

Now we are ready to receive our friends at home and invited them to a delicious juice using these fabulous coasters!

We have used the following Sizzix products:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)

Durante las vacaciones de verano es un gran momento para crear algo alegre con nuestros hijos. En este caso hemos decorado unos posavasos. Y lo mejor ha sido el buen rato que hemos pasado juntos. Pero mejor os enseñamos el resultado:

Para crear estos pasavasos hemos utilizado unos de corcho estandar. Entonces tocaba escoger colores y troqueles para darles un toque más de chica o chico (así hay para todos).

Los materiales utilizados son: Mi Big Shot Plus, los troqueles layering daisy #2 , layering daisy, y el splat, el cepillo, posavasos de corcho, cartulinas de colores variados, pintura acrílica, pincel y gel medium. 

Y estas son las imágenes de los pocos pasos necesarios: 

- Pintar una de las caras de los posavasos.

- Troquelar los motivos para decorarlos

- Combinarlos como más nos gusten.

- Encolar con gel medium y aplicar una capa por encima para proteger de manchas el papel.

Ahora ya estamos listos para recibir a nuestros amigos en casa e invitarlos a un zumo utilizando ¡¡¡estos alegres posavasos!!!

FREE PAPER DOWNLOADS FATHER'S DAY

*     *     *

I began this layout by choosing two pattern papers for the background.

After that I cut out lots of embellishments from the Free Paper Downloads

for Father's Day. For one of the embellishments I used the Circles dies

- I used here two sizes of the Circles. 

Daisies were die cut from white cardstock. 

Each daisy has two layers.

"2015" was die cut from both white cardstock and Father's Day free papers.

The pattern paper numbers were used as a "shadow".
