Project Life cards

 

 

For a few years I've jumped on (and eventually fallen off) the Project Life wagon and yet I am giving the concept another go this year. Hopefully I've simplified my approach enough to make an entire album worth of pocket pages.

 

I wanted to create some personal and unique cards for my album and to that end Sizzix products are just the thing you need. My album will be held in black, white, grey, kraft and gold colours so those are the colours I used for my various journaling and filler cards.

 

 

This first card is meant to be used for journaling. I diecut two rectangles using dies from Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards and Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Butterfly Cards and layered them on top of each other before stitching along the top. At the bottom I stamped and arrow using Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There.

 

This set is made using dies from Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards and I simply diecut the frames and then added some patterned vellum on the backsides.

 

For the third set I wanted to use the speech bubbles from Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This and combine them with words from Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards . I embellished each word with a golden heart diecut with dies from the same sets.

 

 

The last set sports more love. I've used dies from Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards to create both cards.

Igennem nogle år har jeg forsøgt at hoppe med på Project Life-bølgen, men jeg er faldet af hvert år. Alligevel forsøger jeg igen i år, og jeg håber, at jeg har valgt en så simpel tilgangsvinkel, at jeg kan holde ud hele året.

Jeg havde lyst til at lave nogle personlige og unikke kort til mit album, og til det formål er Sizzix-produkter lige i øjet. Mit album bliver holdt i sort, hvid, grå, kraft og guld, og derfor har jeg lavet mine journaling- og fillerkort i de farver.

Det første kort er tænkt til journaling. Jeg udstansede to rektangler med dies fra Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards og Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Butterfly Cards, hvorefter jeg lagde dem ovenpå hinanden og syede henover toppen. I bunden stemplede jeg en pil med et stempel fra Framelits Die Set 12PK w/Stamps - Here & There.

Dette sæt er lavet med dies fra Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards , som jeg udstansede og derefter limede mønstret vellum bagpå.

Til det tredje sæt ville jeg bruge taleboblerne fra Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This, og jeg kombinerede dem med ord fra Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards. Jeg dekorerede hvert ord med hjerter fra de samme sæt.

Det sidste sæt byder på mere kærlighed, og jeg brugte dies fra Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards til begge kort.

A little bit of crazy

 

 

 

Today I've gon crazy with colours, embossing and sequins but once in a while I think we all need a little bit of crazy.

 

 

 

I die cut the frame from the Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This and added some patterned paper behind the opening in the frame. The frame says "I {heart} this" and that didn't really fit with my card so I cut a fish tail banner for my main sentiment and added above the "I {heart} this".

 

 

 

Next up I stamped three different flowers from Framelits Die Set 5PK w/Stamps - English Garden in VersaMark and heat embossed them using different colours of embossing powder. I scattered the flowers in two corner of the frame and layered them on top of one another using foam adhesive.

 

 

 

The final touches to this playful card was some sequins, a smaller sentiment and a hand drawn line running around the entire background.

I dag har jeg et lidt tosset og farvestrålende kort til jer - nogle gange har man bare brug for lidt fis og ballade.

 

Jeg udstansede rammen fra Thinlits Die Set 6PK - I Heart This, og satte noget mønstret papir inde i rammen. Da die'en udstanser sætningen "I {heart} this", hvilket ikke passede til mit korts tema, valgte jeg at skære et banner ud, hvor jeg stemplede kortets primære hilsen på. Jeg satte dette banner henover "I {heart} this" delen af rammen.

 

Næste skridt var at stemple tre forskellige blomster fra Framelits Die Set 5PK w/Stamps - English Garden med VersaMark og derefter varmeembosse dem i forskellige farver af embossingpulver. Jeg spredte blomsterne i to hjørner af rammen.

 

De sidste skridt til at gøre dette legefulde kort færdigt var at tilføje pailetter, en mindre hilsen og en håndtegnet linje hele vejen rundt langs kortets baggrund.

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.
