New tutorial step by step for Sizzix | A pretty card made with a box die!

Click here or on the photo to find out how to make this pretty card step by step!

Last time I was here with an showing how the  the Sizzix Thinlits Plus Die Set 13PK - Box w/Fancy Lid 660841 makes lovely bows. Today, I will show you that you can use the decorative panels as well for cardmaking. 

For this card, even though this is a Plus die, all the elements will fit through the regular Big Shot.

I place the die on the front of the card and secure it in place with low tack tape. Then I run it through the Big Shot and made sure from the back that all those lines were cut. Because it is such a detailed die, you may need to run it through a couple more times.

I cut a square piece of paper and layered in the inside. I then added a die cut bow from the same set.

I stamped the message using a sharp black in on a die cut banner (from the 660836

Sizzix Framelits Plus Die Set 16PK - Banners #2 ) and attach it so it overlaps.

I used the circles from the Bow set to add interest to the centres of the flowers.

And it was done. Very quickly but with quite a lot of detail!

Die cutting projects using the Big Shot and Teresa Collins papers

Many times I complain that while I demonstrate I cant really create good samples. Well, last weekend while I was demonstrated for Tubo in Lisbon I actually did something that I was quite proud of for a change! Which is good as I wanted to leave samples behind for Patricia who is the organiser of the event.

Muchas veces me quejo de mi inhabilidad de crear proyectos que estén bien cuando estoy haciendo demostraciones. Bueno, pues la semana pasada cuando estuve demostrando lo nuevo de Sizzix para Tubo en Lisboa cree algunos proyectos de los que me quede contenta. Lo cual no esta mal ya que asi pude dejarlos en Lisboa con Patricia la organizadora del evento.

Of course as I was demonstrating the Big Shot and the latest releases from Sizzix, they all feature a bit or a lot of die cutting!

Por supuesto todas las creaciones tienen algo de Sizzix.

A simple layout using (as do all the projects) Teresa Collins papers and embellishments. All the pictures are of Patricia's children, Gorgeous family.

Un simple layout usando (como los demás proyectos) papeles y demás de Teresa Collins. Todas las fotos son de los hijos de Patricia. Son una familia de guapos!

One of the new Sizzix lines that will be released later on is the Life Made Simple, perfect for project life addicts.

Una de las nuevas colecciones de Sizzix se llama Life made simple que se va a lanzar dentro de unos meses, que esta diseñada para Project Life.

I love the base shape which is a Sizzix Tim Holtz Movers and shapers die called Cameo.

Me encanta el troquel que he usado para la base de esta tarjeta. Se llama Cameo Sizzix Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers.

And finally this box and Bow. The bow is an Eileen Hull bigz die, which means you can cut it with fabric.

Y finalmente la cajita. El lazo es un troquel de Eileen Hull. Como es un Bigz significa que puede cortar tela.


Por cierto, este año quiero cumplir un sueño: dar talleres en castellano y en mi tierra! 

Así que estoy intentado organizar talleres en tiendas de manualidades por toda España. Talleres de scrap, mini albums, home decor ... usando troqueles por supuesto! 

Si tenéis alguna sugerencias comentad o mandadme un mensaje privado. 

Ya os ire informando...

Stitches: More Boxes

I decorated this boxes, actually cubes using Basic Grey's Capella Collection.

Tomorrow, Craft Day at QVC! So excited! I will be on air at 12:30 or so, and then again at 13:00 and at 19:00.

Stitches: Box

This little box features Basic Grey's Green at Heart collection.

Details, Details, Details

Of the ATC box.

So you can see here that the front is very raised. How did I do it?

Underneath that black cardstock there is block of white Styrofoam. Then I use a band of card around it.

You can see here that the black card is larger than the standard ATC size. The clip is not attached in any way so it is rather easy to change the ATC's.

And here, on the opposite side, the little pockets can hold up to ten ATC in each one.

Nestabilities workshop

These are the cards and box that we did last week at the workshop I taught at the Glitter Pot.
