A lot of Hearts

Hi Everyone!
I'm Anna, from Middle Italy. I'm the author of the blog Cafe Creativo.
I started sewing and scrapbooking as a form of therapy and it has blossomed into a full blown addiction. Through these hobbies I've met some of the most wonderful people and I had amazing opportunities to inspire others. It's truly been a gift!

This is my first post here on Sizzix blog! I'm more than excited to share my projects and ideas.
I am working hard trying to learn English, sorry ;)
Let me introduce myself with a collage of some of my works:

I am here today to share what's my first project: the theme is Valentine’s Day… I thought about unconventional colors! Love this color combination!

Here is my project: I made a card and a gift bag to go with it. I packaged some chocolates in little wax paper bag.

Items used to make the card:

Sizzix Big shot machine (655268)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Tiny Tabs & Tags (657188)
Sizzix Bigz die – Hearts (656334)
white cardstock
turquoise patterned paper
pink glitter cardstock
scrap and strip of paper
vanilla tissue paper
pink and white twine
paper doily
color ink
sequins
two-sided tape, glue

How to make card:

1- Cut a stripe of white cardstock of 15x30 cm. Fold the paper in half to make your card blank.
2- Cut a rectangle 9 cm x 14 cm from patterned paper and adhere in the center.
3- Let a few drops of color ink in the highest position.
4- Apply a piece of paper doily on the right edge.
5- Add a tag using the Die - Tiny Tabs & Tags. Some twine to finish it.
6- Add on a piece of cream tissue paper. Then apply the strips of paper.
7- Printed and add a small "love" close to the twine.
8- Cut a heart out (656334) of pink glitter cardstock. Stick it on with 3d double side tape.
9- Take white thread and roll it a bit. Placed close to the heart.
10- Then, use the sequins and glue them.

Items used to make the little gift bag:

Sizzix Big shot machine (655268)
Sizzix Bigz die – Hearts (656334)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK – Squares (657565)

waxed paper bag
pink glitter cardstock
turquoise / teal lace or ribbon
scrap of paper
scrap of old book
pink and white twine

How to make a paper bag:

2 - Fill the bag with chocolates and then fold the pennant.
3 - Apply the doily, folded in half, on the top edge.
4 - Take two strips of paper. Cut with Framelits to create the pennants.
5 - Add a bit of turquoise lace.

***********************************************************

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Ciao a tutti!
Mi chiamo Anna, ma nel web sono conosciuta come Anna Drai. autrice del blog Cafe Creativo.

Ho cominciato a cucire e scrappare come forma di terapia per liberarmi dallo stress, ma ben presto si è trasformata in una dipendenza in piena regola!!! E' attraverso questi hobby che ho incontrato alcune delle persone più straordinarie che conosco ed ho anche avuto la possibilità di ispirare e trasmettere voglia di fare agli altri. E’ stato davvero un regalo piovuto dal cielo!
Questo è il mio primo post qui sul blog Sizzix! Sono stra-felice di condividere i miei progetti. Lasciate che mi presenti con un collage dei miei lavori (foto collage sopra).
Ma veniamo a noi, sono qui oggi per condividere quello che è il mio primo progetto.
Il tema affrontato in questo post è San Valentino, ma non in maniera convenzionale, almeno per quanto riguarda i colori ;) Questa combinazioni di colori è una delle mie preferite!
Ho realizzato una card e un pacchettino dove ho messo dei cioccolatini. Se usate sacchetti in carta oleata per alimenti, ci si può infilare anche dei bei biscotti fatti in casa, che sono sicuramente molto buoni e apprezzati! ;)

Ecco, dunque, il mio progetto che potrà comunque essere declinato per altre occasioni, quali anniversari, compleanni, festa della mamma, pensierino per un’amica ecc. Il biglietto potrà anche essere d’ispirazione come copertina di un mini-album, che dite?

Per realizzare il biglietto avrete bisogno di:

Sizzix Big shot machine (655268)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Tiny Tabs & Tags (657188)
Sizzix Bigz die – Hearts (656334)
cartoncino bianco
carta fantasia turchese
cartoncino glitter rosa
avanzi di carte varie
carta velina color vaniglia
cordoncino bicolore (rosa e bianco)
centrini di carta
colore spray o acrilico diluito
paillettes
biadesivo spessorato, colla

Procedimento:

1- Tagliare una striscia di cartoncino bianco di cm 15x30. Piegare il foglio a metà per avere la base del vostro biglietto.
2- Tagliare un rettangolo di 9 cm x 14 di carta fantasia e incollarla al centro del biglietto.
3- Lasciate cadere alcune gocce di colore sulla parte alta della card.
4- Applicare un pezzo di centrino sul bordo destro.
5- Aggiungete una tag tagliata con la fustella 657188. Aggiungete anche un po' di cordoncino in fondo alla tag per rifinirla.
6- Incollare sopra un pezzo di carta velina. Quindi incollate un paio di strisce di carta. Io ho usato anche un pezzo di copertina di recupero di una relazione!
7- Stampate e incollate una piccola scritta “love” vicino al twine.
8- Tagliare un cuore (fustella 656334) dal cartoncino glitter. Attaccatelo con il nastro biadesivo spessorato.
9- Prendete del filo bianco e “ingarbugliatelo” un po', quindi incollatelo dietro al cuore.
10- Infine utilizzando le paillettes e la colla date dei piccoli punti di luce qua e là. Il vostro biglietto è così terminato!

Per realizzare il sacchettino avrete bisogno di:
Sizzix Big shot machine (655268)
Sizzix Bigz die – Hearts (656334)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK – Squares (657565)
sacchetto in carta oleata (tipo quelli per alimenti)
cartoncino glitter rosa
pizzo o nastro turchese/verde acqua
una striscia di carte fantasia rosa
pagina di vecchio libro
cordoncino bicolore (rosa e bianco)
centrino di carta
mollettina di legno
colla

Procedimento:
1- Tagliare l'apertura del sacchetto con uno dei Framelits quadrati messo in diagonale, in modo da creare una bandierina a coda di rondine.
2- Riempire il sacchettino di cioccolatini o dolcetti e piegare quindi il il bordo a coda di rondine.
3- Applicare il centrino, piegato a metà, sul bordo in alto.
4- Prendere un paio di strisce di carta: io ho usato una striscia a righe rosa e una pagina di un vecchio libro. Tagliate anch'esse con i Framelits per creare sempre l'effetto “coda di rondine” su entrambe le estremità.
5- Aggiungere sopra, al centro, un pezzetto di pizzo o nastro turchese/verde acqua.
6- Tagliare un cuore (fustella 656334) dal cartoncino glitter e incollarlo sopra. Quindi incollare il tutto sul centrino.
7- Appuntare il tutto al sacchetto con una molletta.
8- Aggiungete anche un po' di cordoncino bicolore per rifinire.
9- Se volete, inserite una mini tag con il vostro messaggio. Il vostro packaging è così terminato!
Se avete domande sono qui...
Grazie per esservi soffermate a leggere il mio post e soprattutto... happy crafting!!! :)

Last minute ideas for Christmas bags and tags!

Hi again Sizzix fans!
It is almost Christmas and we all are very busy preparing everything for this special day. In between the cooking, shopping , decorating, cleaning and other important pre-Christmas activities it is good to find some time to create some handmade Christmas gift wrappings and tags, right? I was very busy today making tags, altering a box and bags for the smallest gifts for my family - and I have a short photostory for you! Here it goes!

Starring:
- Sizzix dies: Sizzix Framelits Die Set 3PK - Frame, Snowflake (657906), Sizzix Movers & Shapers L Die - Pillow Box w/Labels (658268), Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Scallop Eyelet Lace (658003), Sizzix Sizzlits Die - Card, Scallop Circle Insert (657996), Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Mini Snowflake Rosettes (2 Sizes) (658255). 
- Papers - 7 Dots Studio - "Domestic Goddess" collection
- Inks and Pearls: Ranger Distress Inks and Liquid Pearls
- others: hot glue, craft glue, doilies, white paper, Tim Holtz stickers, pebbles.

The story begins on one winter's day. I realized I need to get some packaging for the gifts - and I need it fast! So, I grabbed some papers and my favorite winter-themed dies...

The work was fast and furious, but the final effect was quite pleasing - and it was so easy to do!

Finally I had may bags, box and tag ready!

And here is the final photo - all of them together, waiting to be put under the Christmas tree!

I hope I gave you some last minute inspiration - see you soon!

Merry Christmas form cold, frosty Poland!

Simple embossed gift box



Happy Wednesday everyone,

This week I wanted to share with you an easy gift box you will make very quickly. We are now entering the ‘gift giving season’ so you may even want to have some boxes in stock :)

Even though there are a lot of gift box templates available in web I decided draw my own pattern. I wanted to embellish the box with embossed images so the rectangle part in the middle has the height of an embossing folder. The curved top and bottom I draw using a dessert plate as my template. Simple and easy!

 Here’s a list of materials I used:

• Big Shot Machine (655268
• Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Bohemian Lace Set  (657811)
• Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Frames, Decorative #2 (657938)
• Black, grey and white cardstock. Small piece of yellow
• Sentiment stamp. White stamping ink
• Light grey and purple ink. Ink applicator or sponge
• Circle punch, scissors (for the spiral paper flower)
• Bone folder and stylus
• Glue (Tacky Glue)
• Satin ribbon, narrow two-sided  tape

For the black box I used a 20.5 cm x 26 cm rectangle piece of basic black cardstock. I scored and folded the sides (at 2 cm and 14 cm), and trimmed the curved top and bottom edges using my pre-cut box template as cutting pattern. Then I used a stylus for scoring the curved lid folds – a round dessert plate was a prefect template for the curved line.

 

For the box front and back I cut two rectangles from white cardstock, sized slightly smaller than the box width. I die-cut an opening on one of the rectangles and embossed them with Bohemian Lace embossing folder. I inked the white embossed panels with purple stamping ink and glued down on the box front and back. I finished the box with stamping a sentiment text with white ink and decorated it with a paper flower and folded leafs.

For the grey gift box I used the same box template, but instead of embellishing it with an embossed panel I placed the box inside an embossing folder and run through my Big Shot. I wanted to highlight the embossed images a bit, so I inked them gently with light stamping ink. As final step I attached two strips of red satin ribbon on top and bottom of the embossed image. Done!

 

 

 



I hope this will inspire you to make your own gift box variations of this simple pattern.

Have a nice week!

Love,

Lia's Birthday party

Hello everyone!


Lately, my mom, cousin and I have been working on special gifts/invitations for Lia's first birthday and we came up with that cute bunch of creations to decorate the table and add a very girly touch to the party.

We simply used : 


A big Shot

Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Candy Jars

Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Die - Box w/Lid, Cake Slice

It was SO easy and fast to create 20 of those with the Bigz dies as you can use up to 3 pieces of paper at once!


Simply place your paper(s) on the dies, run if through the Big Shot, fold everything that needs to be folded and glue!


Then you can embellish the way you want :)


I used Kesiart papers for the invitations & gifts, a tiny bit of twine, a few stickers and wood veneer embellishments and voilà!


Easy and fast and just so gorgeous!
Enjoy!
Céline
