Springlike origami box and card from Janna Werner.

Hello everyone, this is Janna. Today I am here to show you a card and Origami box that I decorated with some of my favorite Sizzix dies.

supply list:

655268 Sizzix Big Shot machine

657846 Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folders - Bubble & Honey Comb

658284 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - Chevrons & Flourishes

paper: Stampin Up

cardstock: American Crafts, Stampin Up

stamps: Sizzix, Stampin Up

color/ink: Ranger Ink, Stampin Up

rhinestones: Kaisercraft

other: white and silver thread, glue

I am a huge fan of creating Origami boxes and I like to create matching cards as well - the perfect gift wrapping. I wanted this set to be in happy and vibrant colors - springlike, so I chose a white/yellow/green/blue/neutral color scheme.

I used the Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folders - Honey Comb (see supply list) to add more texture and depth to the card and the box as well. The chevron pattern on the heart is an embossing folder as well: Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - Chevrons & Flourishes - I can never get enough of chevron ;) The banners come with matching stamps - you stamp the image onto a piece of paper and use the die to cut them out - easy, clean and beautiful.

Have a great and crafty day, everyone!

3 Thank You Cards

Hello

Today let me show you 3 "Thank You" cards made with paper scraps, cloth, spray inks and the two following Sizzix dies:

Big Shot 655268

Flower 3D-fringed 657115

Mini Hearts Set 657212

Base Tray 657007

Supply list:

Papers: Kési'art, Basic Grey, Studio Calico

Stickers: Kési'art

Brad & embellishments: My Mind's Eye

Washi Tape

Ribbon: American Crafts

Paper leaves: American Crafts

Stamp: Craft Origine

Ink: Black Versafine

Spray inks: Tattered Angels

Here are some easy-to-make cards. I’ve used patterned paper scraps folded in half. Only the front of the cards is decorated. We’ll keep the inside for writing our little note.

I sprayed pink Glimmer Mist on a white cloth piece. Don’t forget to shake your bottle before spraying for the glimmer to appear on your creation. It’s so much nicer that way!

Let it dry in the open or speed the drying time with the help of your heat gun.

Once the cloth is dry, create flowers and hearts with your dies and your Big Shot. Superimpose the flowers,add a brad and you’ll have fantastic handmade accents as a result!

Add a mini stamp and you’re done with your cards!

See you soon!

Have a nice day!

Bonjour

Aujourd'hui trois petites cartes de remerciement réalisées avec des chutes de papiers, du tissu, des encres en spray et deux dies Sizzix que voici :

Big Shot 655268

Flower 3D-fringed 657115

Mini Hearts Set 657212

Base Tray 657007

Matériel utilisé :

Papiers : Kési'art, Basic Grey, Studio Calico

Stickers : Kési'art

Brad et embellissements : My Mind's Eye

Washi Tape

Ruban : American Crafts

Feuilles en papier : American Crafts

Tampon : Craft Origine

Encre : Versafine noire

Encres en spray : Tattered Angels

Des cartes toutes simples réalisées avec des chutes de papiers imprimés que j'ai simplement plié en deux.

Seules les faces des cartes sont décorées, l'intérieur est dédié à l'écriture d'un petit mot.

J'ai utilisé un morceau de tissu blanc que j'ai vaporisé de Glimmer Mist rose. Bien penser à agiter les petites bouteilles afin que les paillettes apparaissent, c'est bien plus joli !

Laissez sécher ou activez le temps de séchage avec votre heat gun.

Une fois le tissu sec, passez les dies fleurs et coeurs à la Big Shot. Superposez ensuite les fleurs, ajoutez un brad pour obtenir de superbes embellissements faits-main !

Ajoutez un mini tampon et vos cartes sont terminées :)

A très vite

Bonne journée

Keep it Simple!

When people ask what I do, I sometimes half-jokingly reply 'I cut stuff out and stick it to other stuff'. I hope there is a bit more to it than that but the point is, I don't think about it to much. Different collections demand different approaches, techniques and materials. When I saw the new collection of dies designed by the good folks at Echo Park I knew instinctively how I wanted to use them.

Echo Park are based in California and they make some of my favourite paper collections, I particularly like their 6" x 6" paper pads and the colour pallets they chose are so inviting. I was really happy when I saw the new range of dies that they have designed together with Sizzix. They compliment their papers so well I couldn't wait to get started. If you want to know a bit more about the company follow this link

The dies are all Thinlits which means that they cut paper and card beautifully and offer exquisite detail to match. The dies come in a really cute plastic wallet which makes them easy to store away and keep tidy which is crucially important if your craft room is anything like mine!

Going back to the title of this blog, I wanted to use just the papers and dies, no fancy techniques or supplies with the exception of a few adhesive gems and a touch of Old Paper Distress Ink because that's how the collection spoke to me, basically, I just cut stuff out and stuck it to other stuff! easy when you have the right combination of dies and papers

For the card boat card I used:

• Thinlits - Little Boy by Echo Park Paper Co. (659112)
• Thinlits - For the Record by Echo Park Paper Co. (659108)
• On the Edge Die - Scallops (656627)
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Splash
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Hello Summer

For the card star card I used:

• Thinlits - Everyday Eclectic by Echo Park Paper Co. (659107)
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Happy Days
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Dots & Stripes (Metropolitan Collection)

For the card car card I used:

• Thinlits - Little Boy by Echo Park Paper Co. (659112)
• Thinlits - For the Record by Echo Park Paper Co. (659108)
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Splash
• 6" x 6" Paper Pad - Hello Summer



It seems like we're going back to winter at the moment - even though we are at the end of February, and because the month seems to have gone by so quickly I thought I'd make Churn Dash my block this week!
Before I get to the block I thought you might like a bit more information about the quilt I'm making - I have decided it will have 20 blocks and will have sashing between the blocks and one border.
I also decided that I would add some white fabric to the mix so that there is more variation.
I have started with about 1/2metre of most of the fabrics but more of the one that I will use for the sashing and border ( I hope this extra information is helpful), but of course you could always make each block with different colours.
For this block I used the Big Shot and the following dies - 657605 - 4" x 2" rectangle, 657609 - 4" square and, 657611 - 2" 1/2 square triangle.
I used yellow fabric for 1 square and 4 triangles, and pale jade for the central square and 4 triangles.
To start I joined the triangles to make the corners of the block

 

 



The corners are then added to two rectangles



and then add two rectangles to opposites sides of the square.

 

Join the 3 sets of pieces together.

 

And this completes the block.

 

Simple,

I'll be with you again in March, have a lovely week.

Всем привет!

Я люблю раскрашивать штампы, а затем делать открытки с получившимися картинками. И я люблю, когда вокруг раскрашенной фигуры ажурные края. Но иногда, картинка не помещается в выбранную форму. И вот, что я делаю, когда не хочу ничего отрезать от картинки.

После вырезания я раскрасила картинку маркерами Copic.

Так же, для создания открытки я вырезала бабочек ножами из набора Card Phrases Set #2, круг из пивного картона (Circles #4 ), маленький кусочек кружева (Vintage Lace) и баннеры (Tattered Banners).

И вот такая открытка у меня получилась!
