lovely jar




Hi crafter!

In these summer days, I'm enjoying a lot to fill and empty jars, especially the glass ones.
I love decorating them and give a touch of originality, using paper, wires and colours.
So even a messy person like me can find an order nice to see ... and to create!


The decorations on glass jars are also ideas for a wedding, as wedding favor, place cards or small gifts.

So,let's start working!
Every thing will have its tag!

NECESSARY:


Cardstock or paper scrap (black or grey)
Tissue paper
Scissors
Stick glue
Scotch bi-adhesive
Glass jar
Twinery
White pencil

Have a lovely day
Manuela
Pasticci di carta

Ciao crafter!

In questi primi giorni d'estate mi diverto molto a riempire e svuotare barattoli, specialmente quelli di vetro.
Amo decorarli e dargli un tocco di originalità, usando carta, fili e colori.
Così anche una disordinata come me riesce a trovare un ordine bello da vedere..e da creare!

Le decorazioni sui barattoli di vetro sono anche idee per un matrimonio, come bomboniera, segnaposto o piccolo regalo.

Allora tutti all'opera
Ad ogni cosa la sua targhetta Sizzix!

OCCORRENTE:
Cartoncini o carta scrap (nera o grigia)
Carta velina
Forbici
Colla stick
Scotch biadesivo
Barattolo di vetro
Filo bicolore
Matita bianca

A presto!

A Gift Box by Gerry van Gent


Hello Sizzix friends!
Happy New Year!
Sending you all the best wishes for 2014! 
Let this be a healthy, happy and a very creative year!

Today I want to share with you a small gift box I created using
Eileen Hull's Candy Jars Dies which is one of my favourites.

For front/back sides of the box I used as a base corrugated cardboard
which I die cut together with the pattern paper.
Once the pattern paper was adhered I distressed the edges with sand paper.

I added plastic lattice  to both windows and then decorated with
different cut-outs.

This is how the side of the box looks like.
To make the sides more steady I added modelling paste.
