Travel voucher

Hello!
A few weeks ago we have been invited to a birthday party and we presented a coupon for a trip to Denmark.
For another invited couple I made an additional coupon for the same trip.

I used different alphabet dies and cut out the german word for voucher/coupon 'GUTSCHEIN'.
I used the same white cardstock as the cardstock for the card, so the letters looks like embossed.

You need:
Big Shot (Powder Blue & Teal) #657900
SIZZIX Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Capitel #658563
SIZZIX Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase #659442
SIZZIX Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Word Play Tim Holtz #657837
SIZZIX Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts #657561

I found the flag of Denmark on the internet, printed it and cut it out with one of the SIZZIX framelits hearts. Finally I add some beads and ribbon.

I hope you`ll like it.

I wish you a lovely weekend.

Butterfly Birthday card

One thing I always have a need for is birthday cards, even though I have numerous ways to be reminded of birthdays, I always forget to make and send them in time. Like many other years before, I am trying to be better this year and what better way to start than with a few Sizzix simple but effective birthday cards.

My love affair with the intricate butterflies continues this cold and wet January.

For this card I used the Sizzix Thinlits Intricate Butterflies 659971 and the Tim Holtz Block Talk lowercase alphabet die (659442) as well as Basic Grey Kissing Booth papers, white card, gold flakes, foam pads and Scrapbook Adhesives 3L adhesive sheets.

I placed the patterned paper on the the front of my card. Then I trimmed a piece of white card to size. I place the intricate butterflies dies over as well as die cut letters to see their visual weight. Once I was happy with their placement, I die cut them using my magnetic platform to secure them in place. I used the intricate butterflies instead of the Framelits included in the same set because I did not want any residual embossing on the outside. Then I glued the white card with foam pads.

To create the gold effect letters I used adhesives sheets by 3L. They are a super fine double sided film that is much more delicate and thin than the one I usually use from Stix2. I am a fanatic o adhesives so I find different thicknesses have different uses. I apply the adhesive to both front and back of a cereal cardboard.

I die cut each letter and then position them on the card. Once I am happy with the position, I use low tack tape to secure them in place (relative to each other).

I lifted the backing of the adhseive sheet, and glue them in to position. rub down the letteres well and then I removed the low tack tape.

I removed the protective sheet from the adhesive sheet and place the card in my golden flake tub. I brushed the letters with a sponge to make sure all the adhesive is covered in gold flakes.

I then stamped the message using one of the clear stamps I have designed and then trim it to size.

Finally I added more die cut butterflies (from the same set), ribbon and golden adhesive beads.

It didn't take long at all to make, but it is quite detailed. So I hope who ever is going to receive this card this year is going to like it!

A Summer page in December.

Hi there.
Today I have a page for you that has nothing what so ever to do with Winter. :-)
I wanted to make a Summer page,...so I did. :-)

Here are a couple of close ups:
In this shot you see the Bigz alphabet die Block Talk. I cut out the letters from thin chipboard and I love the way they look. I dabbed them with some creamy brown chalk ink as well.

And here I used the Circle Scallop die:

Papers are from the Polish manufacturer Lemoncraft and chipboard word from Blue Fern Studios.

This is what I used :

Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Circles, Scallop
Sizzix Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase

Hej hej!

Idag har jag en sida att visa som inte alls har med vintern att göra. Jag var sugen på att göra en sommar-sida, så då gjorde jag detr! :-)

Här är några närbilder på detaljerna:

I den första biledn syns alfabetet jag tryckte ut av tunn chipboard bra. Det heter Bigz, Block Talk alfabet.

I den andra bilden syns den runda formen, Circles, scallop bra. 

Det är en av mina favoriter för tiden:-)

Sizzix produkterna jag använde är:

Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Circles, Scallop
Sizzix Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase

Tack för att du tittade inom!!

Jump! Jump!

 

 

 

I'm trying to get some scrapbooking done since I scrapbook no less than four little ones (none of them mine). This week it is Alma that is the subject for the layout and I've used a variety of fun Sizzix products to put together this page.

 

 

The layout is simple (that is the way I roll) which leaves room for me to use a lot of patterns while still keeping things fairly clean.

 

 

I wanted to add something above the pictures but I didn't want it to take up too much room neither visually nor in terms of bulk. Therefore I decided to cut out the sentiment from the frame from Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This and use as a stencil attatching it to the layout using multiple post-it notes making sure I wouldn't accidentally smudge ink on the surrounding layout.

 

 

Once I was sure the stencilling was done I could safely remove the post-it notes revealing a subtle detail that doesn't take up too much room but still adds something to the mix.

 

For the title I used the very versatile Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase to cut out a title that popped into my head while looking at the pictures. Guess it reveals that I was a teen-ager in the 90's...

 

To make room for the date I die cut a tab from the Thinlits Die Set 8PK - Basics and stamped the date which happened to also be Alma's 3rd birthday hence the "happy birthday". To add a little decoration to the tab I also die cut the star from the Thinlits Die Set 8PK - Basics.

Jeg forsøger at få lavet nogle scrapsider, da jeg har intet mindre end fire små (ingen af dem mine), som jeg scrapper sider til. I denne uge er det Alma, der er centrum for en side, hvor jeg har mixet forskellige fede Sizzix-produkter.

 

Siden er - som stort set alle mine projekter - ret enkelt, hvilket giver mig mulighed for at mixe flere forskellige farver og mønstre.

 

Jeg ville have noget dekoration over billederne, som ikke fyldte for meget, hverken visuelt eller i højden. Derfor besluttede jeg mig for at bruge teksten fra rammen fra Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This som stencil. Jeg monterede den på layoutet med et antal post-it notes for at sikre, at der ikke kom smuds på det omgivende layout.

 

Da jeg var sikker på, at det stencillerede motiv var færdigt, fjernede jeg post-it siderne, og nu havde jeg en fin dekoration, som bidrog til sidens hele uden at fylde for meget.

 

Til titlen brugte jeg det meget alsidige Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase til at udstanse den titel, der poppede op i mit hoved, mens jeg arbejdede med billederne. Tror vist, at den afslører, at jeg var teen-ager i 90'erne...

 

Datoen fik plads på en tab fra Thinlits Die Set 8PK - Basics, og for at dekorere den lidt udstansede jeg en stjerne fra samme die-sæt og monterede henover tabben. Daoten er stemplet sammen med et lille "happy birthday", fordi billederne faktisk stammer fra Almas tredje fødselsdag.

This week I've been working with some fun new products from Sizzix and Tim Holtz: Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase and Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There. They are quite different products but they play well together.

I combined them on a layout of our bonus nephew, Bertram from when he and his family visited us last December. Bertram used mud and leaves to dress up as a soldier training in the woods.

I used the Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase to create my title in very thick cork. That is one reason to really love this alphabet: You can cut all sorts of cool materials to form your title and there by create your own dimensional stickers.

I used the Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There to do a couple of arrows that work as embellishmets on the page. The arrows have the right worn touch that go well with a layout and story like this. It was very easy to stamp the arrows first and then die cut them using the coordinating dies and the Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies.

 I denne uge har jeg arbejdet med nogle herlige nye produkter fra Sizzix og Tim Holtz: Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase og Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There. Det er egentlig ret forskellige produkter, men de leger fint sammen alligevel. Jeg kombinerede dem på et layout fra December, hvor vi havde besøg af vores bonus-nevø, Bertram og hans familie. Vi var en tur i skoven, og Bertram brugte mudder og bregner til at klæde sig ud som en soldat på øvelse i skoven.

Jeg brugte Bigz XL Alphabet Die - Block Talk Lowercase til at skære titlen ud i meget tyk kort, og det er en af årsagerne til at holde af dette alfabet: Du kan bruge det til at skære alle mulige cool materialer ud, og dermed lave dine egne dimensionelle bogstaver.

Jeg anvendte Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There til at lave et par stykker pynt til siden. Pilene har det rette slidte udtryk til en side og en historie som denne. Det var super nemt at stemple pilene først, og derefter udstanse dem ved hjælp af de koordinerende dies og Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies.
