"Friends" Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

I am a bit late with my post today so I am sharing straight away

my project I created for you today! I used NEW dies and I love them.

I began layering the photo with two "old" dies which were matching

perfectly the new Scribbles & Splat dies with their round shape.

All  Splats were adhered on the background with foam tape to give more dimension.

Before die cutting the Splats I chose paper where I could use a beautiful pattern 

in the middle of the splat.

I wanted the heart be the shining "queen" on my layout....

I didn`t have to use any glitter ....

I simply chose red cardstock which made it pop perfectly!

...I fell in love with all the Handwritten words....

so cool and perfect touch to your project!

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Prima Marketing - papers, flowers, stencil

Dutch Doobadoo - modelling paste

*     *     *

And before I finish my post for today I would love to share with you 

a few photos of my daughter who often comes to my studio and 

creates with me. This time she did't miss the chance to try the new

Sizzix dies I received and even created a layout using them :-)

She is having so much FUN....

....and wondering is this beautiful butterfly can fly.....

....and she is dreamy....

...and of course she organised mommy's NEW letter dies on a 

flexible magnetic sheet ... waiting for my approval ;-)

....and she did a great job....now the letters are so easy to use.....

which reminds me I have a project to share with you next Sunday!!!

Hope you enjoyed my post today!

Special Gift by Gerry



Hello Sizzix friends!

Happy Easter from my family to yours!

Today I have for you a little gift I made for somebody special.

I used the Pocket Watch Frame Die as a base and 

I hope you will like it and get inspired.

658571 Sizzix Movers & Shapers Bigz Die - Pocket Watch Frame

658356 Sizzix Embossing Folders - Rose Vines & Trellis Set

658701 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/stamps- Word Labels

656938 Sizzix Movers & Shapers Bigz L Die - Tag & Bookplates

This is what I did:

1. I used peel cardboard 1.5 mm ( or you can use corrugated cardboard)

 to make your project stable and pattern paper of your choice. 

Both were die cut together....

2. As a result I had both inside circles almost cut.

I used a craft knife to cut them completely and separate them from the frame.

3. After that I die cut once again the Pocket Watch Frame but

this time using another pattern paper and I gave texture with 

the gorgeous Trellis embossing folder .

Then carefully sanded the embossed trellis.

N.B. If you use only pattern paper you don't 

get the "pre-cut" circle!

4. Now I have all three parts of my base and they are

ready to be adhered in the order as shown on the photo below....

Once everything is adhered you can sand the frame and

add e.g. Glossy Accents.

5. I die cut the oval Bookplate and used only the oval itself 

so I can stamp my quote.

N.B. I tried to use not too much ink so when I stamp it

it would look more vintage.

Now you can decorate with embellishments

of your choice!

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages pattern paper

Webster's Pages bird resin 

Dutch Translation

Hallo Sizzix vrienden!

Vrolijk Pasen allemaal.

Vandaag laat ik een geschenk zien dat ik voor een bijzonder iemand heb gemaakt. 

Ik heb het Pocket Watch Frame Die als een basis gebruikt. 

Ik hoop dat jullie geïnspireerd  raken!

Dit is wat ik gedaan heb:

1. Ik heb pelkarton 1,5 mm (golfkarton mag ook) gebuikt om het project stabiel te maken, samen met patroonpapier dat je naar eigen keuze kan uitzoeken. Beiden zijn samen gestanst...

*  *  *

2. Het resultaat is dat de 2 binnenste cirkels bijna geheel uitgesneden zijn

Met een hobby mes heb ik ze helemaal uitgesneden en van het frame losgemaakt.

*  *  *

3. Daarna heb zakhorloge frame nog een keer gestanst, maar deze keer met patroonpapier. 

Vervolgens heb ik het ge-embossed met de prachtige Trellis embossing folder  

Met schuurpapier heb ik het reliëf bewerkt.

*  *  *

4. Nu heb ik alle 3 delen van mijn basis en zijn ze klaar om vastgemaakt te worden zoals getoond is op de foto. Zodra alles vastzit kun je het frame schuren en bijvoorbeeld de Glossy Accents toevoegen

*  *  *

5. Ik heb de ovale Bookplate gestanst en alleen het ovaal zelf gebruikt zodat ik mijn quote kan stempelen.

P.S. Ik heb geprobeerd om niet teveel inkt te gebruiken bij het stempelen zodat het er meer "vintage" uitziet. Nu kun je alles decoreren met de embellishments van je eigen keuze

*  *  *

Have a great day!
