My big star - Layout

Hi Sizzix friends!

A new Friday again and  I want to show you a clean and simple layout I’ve made to remember the birthday of Ferran (my elder son). He celebrated his 11th OMG !!! Time past so fast and I love to capture his smile (for me is the most beautiful smile in the world... mum says).

To create this layout I’ve used the Fresh Blossom Alphabet designed by Stephanie Ackerman I like this alphabet !!!! The new A4 Field of Diamonds embossing folder, the Heartfelt die and a label die.

Here are more detailed images:

Two hearts and the label to start the title of my layout.

More heartfelts with some shiny ink drops, the diamonds embossment I like it!!!

Once I’ve die-cut the letters I’ve decorated them in blue with my watercolours and I’ve drawn the line.

And a piece of burlap!!! I love to use it in my family projects to make it warmer.

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

Monochrome Butterfly card

We have had the most glorious days here in South East England, days perfect for softer and beautiful colours like corals and soft teals. Inspired by those colours and the good temperatures as well as by the lovely butterflies that will come in a few weeks to my garden I created these two cards.

Clean and simple!

I used Butterflies, Intricate by Paula Pascual 659971 and Tab Cards by Paula Pascual 659970.

To make the coral one, I trimmed a piece of the coral paper to fit the landscape A6 folded card. Then I trimmed the wave at the end using a circle cutter. I stamped the message using one of the clear stamps sets I have designed, called Tab messages that match beautifully the Tab Cards  dies.

I die cut the butterflies using the solid large die (using white card) as well as the intricate large (coral paper). I layered them up and attach them to the card with glue only on the body of the butterfly. Then I placed the hexagon crystals through the body of the butterfly to give a bit the impression of being caught flying.

To make the soft teal one, I trimmed a piece of the patterned paper to fit the landscape  card. Then I trimmed the wave in the middle using a circle cutter, and on the bottom left over i did the same. I glue them down.

I die cut the butterflies using the solid large die (using white card) as well as the intricate large (teal paper). I layered them up and attach them to the card with glue only on the body of the butterfly. Then I placed the crystals under the body of the intricate butterfly but over the solid one.

I stamped the message from the same set as before called Tab messages and then I die cut it using the long thin Tab Cards  die. Finally I added the three crystals in the body of the butterfly.

I hope you like them!

A loved layout

Spring is here and brighter colour and cheerful layouts are in order!

I often print out many photos from my mobile in smaller sizes for mini albums. Not all of them make it in to the album so I have some photos laying around that are pretty special but just simply were the wrong size. But they are perfect for my favourite size of scrapbook layout, 6 x 8. So I grab one of those photos and I started die cutting!

For this layout, I used :

• Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine (just the regular Big Shot Machine will do too, I just love the Plus!)
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 2PK - Decorative Trim
• Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Tab Cards
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 14PK - Flowers Intricate 2

I used Simple Stories papers from their collection I AM. I die cut two chevron borders out of the solid papers using one of the Decorative Trim dies. I layered them on the white card and glue them at their centres. I die cut thre banners and glue them on the left hand side.

I used the other trim die from the same set to decorate the bottom left corner. The word is from a pattered paper I had left over.

The little heart on the top right corner is from the left over of the bottom left border. The flowers is from the Flowers Intricate 2.

Simple but bright and spring full of colour! I hope you like it!
