Some little Presents

Hello there,

Today, me and my girlfriend Conny are on the way to a Girls weekend. We meet us in Aschaffenburg with all the members of the DesignTeam of a Shop owner who sells Scrapbooking stuff and of course also famous SIZZIX Products! So it is kind of tradition to bring a little something for each member.

I chose a wonderful ceramic tile for each girl. They could use it as a coaster for their coffee cups or a candle. I bought also one for me.... ok, I bought two for me ;)

 I made a small box and created with my Big Shot Plus some cute tags with the

SIZZIX Triplits Tags #659930 by Stephanie Barnard.

I like this tags 'cause they give me endless possibilities for different creations. The Set includes also some cupcake and giftbox dies for birthday creations, some trees and ornaments for christmas time, some flowers for spring and also lovely hearts for special persons.

For the tags I used: Different pattern paper, some glue dots and eyelets.

Very simple and it looks so nice!

I hope my girlfriends have other things to do than cruising through their blog list, because they get their presents until this evening....

What a pity if they already know what it is inside....;)

Have a lovely weekend!

Annika

Red and white gift wrapping

 

 

 

This week's Christmas Challenge 2014 deals with gift wrapping and tags. I don't think I've ever had Christmas presents all wrapped up so early in the season but it feels great to get started on the wrapping.

Using Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags in combination with Framelits Die Set 6PK - Leaves, Holly & Berry, some white glittery wrapping paper and a red and white gingham ribbon I wrapped three presents for my sister-in-law. Essentially all three gifts are decorated the same way but with slight differences; especially when it comes to the design of the tags.

 

 

This tag was cut a little shorter by partially diecutting it with the scallopped rectangle from Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags. 

I kept this tag very simple but layering two tags from Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags and then stamping the text.

The larger of the gifts was decorated with a larger set of holly leaves and I also wanted the holly berries to be a little larger than on the other two packages. This led me to use one of the circles from the Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette set to create the berries. For the tag I layered two tags on top of one another and diecut a heart using a die from Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This in the top tag.

I hope you feel inspired to start wrapping this year's Christmas presents yourself - I can only recommend getting a jump start on this job :o)

I denne uge drejer Christmas Challenge 2014 sig om gaveindpakning, og jeg tror ikke, at jeg tidligere har været i gang med gaveindpakningen så tidligt, men det føles godt.

 

Jeg har kombineret Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags med Framelits Die Set 6PK - Leaves, Holly & Berry samt glimmergavepapir og rødternet bånd ved indpakningen af tre gaver til min svigerinde. Overordnet set er pakkerne ens, men der er små forskelle især hvad angår gavemærkaterne.

 

Den første tag har jeg skåret lidt kortere ved delvist at udstanse bunden af de to forskellige tags med en anden die fra Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags.

 

Den anden tag er holdt helt enkel ved blot at lave en sandwich af to tags i forskellige farver og derefter stemple teksten direkte på taggen.

 

På den store pakke har jeg brugt et sæt større kristtjørnsblade, og jeg ville sikre mig, at bærrene også var lidt større, så derfor brugte jeg en af cirklerne fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette til at udstanse kristtjørnens bær. Taggen består af to forskellige tags lagt ovenpå hinanden. I den øverste har jeg udstanset det lille hjerte fra Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This, hvilket betyder, at der kommer en lille fin detalje frem.

 

Jeg håber, at du er blevet inspireret til selv at komme i gang med gaveindpakningen - jeg kan kun anbefale det, for det skal jo gøres ;o)

Set of Christmas Phrase cards

 

 

This week we have the pleasure of showing you multiple ways to use the Free Festive Paper Download to create your own Christmas cards. I often find myself drawn towards wintery colours for my Christmas crafting so these new papers are just up my alley.

I decided to create a set of three cards that are to a large degree alike but different enough for it to still be fun to create all three of them in one sitting.

 

 

I build the focus for the cards up by diecutting pieces from Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards. Since I used the blue striped paper for the bottom part of my focus piece, I decided to line the diecut with the words with some vellum to tone the patterned paper down a bit.

 

 

On each card I highlighted one of the words by diecutting it in a patterned paper using one of the word dies that are included in Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards. To give the word some added height I diecut it twice and glued the two diecuts together before I adhered them to the card.

 

 

Using a small die from Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags I diecut silver foil ornaments to dress each card with. Because the words have different lenghts, I needed to move the ornaments around to fit them in on each card. So this also makes each card stand out from the other two.

 

 

By creating a set of cards like this, you can easily get a lot of your Christmas cards done in time to send them out to friends and family.

I denne uge har vi fornøjelse af at vise dig forskellige måder, du kan bruge Free Festive Paper Download til at lave dine julekort. Jeg er ofte tiltrukket af vinterfarver, når jeg skal lave mine julekort, så disse papirer er helt perfekte til mine kort.

 

I besluttede mig for at lave et sæt af tre kort, som designmæssigt er ens, men som har lidt forskelle, der gør, at det stadig var sjovt at lave de her tre kort på én gang.

 

Jeg byggede mit primære fokus op med udstansninger fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards. Da jeg brugte det blå stribede papir som det nederste led, besluttede jeg mig for at sætte vellum bagpå ord-udstansningen. Dette toner det mønstrede papir lidt ned, og lader de andre dele af mit motiv stå tydligere frem.

 

På hvert af de tre kort fremhævede jeg ét af ordene ved at udstanse det i et andet mønstret papir. For at give ordene yderligere dimension, udstansede jeg to eksemplarer af hvert ord, limede dem ovenpå hinanden og limede dem derefter på kortet.

 

Med en lille die fra Triplits Die Set 15PK - Tags udstansede jeg små juleophæng i sølvfoliekarton. Dette ophæng sidder forskellige steder på hvert kort, fordi de fremhævede ord har forskellige længder og placeringer. Men det betyder jo bare, at hvert kort får sit eget udseende.

 

Ved at lave kort i sæt som dette, gør det nemt og hurtigt at få lavet julekortene klar til at sende ud til familie og venner.
