Gift Wrapping

Hi there,

Last week I had shown you a birthday card and today I show you the gift. The birthday celebration was beautiful and the birthday boy was very happy about the package.

I used for this gift wrapping:

SIZZIX Big Shot Plus - Starterkit - Box Die

SIZZIX Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Layering Frames by Craft Asylum

First I print out the names of the spicies. I told you, the birthday boy likes to cook :)

First I cut out the printouts with the Thinlits Layering Frames and two boxes with the box Die out of the starter kit (Big Shot Plus). 

From one box I cut a lid and decorated all with the Layering Frames.

I found a nice box from wooden with vintage style and put all together with the Birthdaycard with the Vintage Scale.

So I think it looks together very well.

I hope you enjoy and I wish you a lovely weekend!

Annika

Halloween

Hi there,

right now I am looking forward to the upcoming Halloween time.

This tradition is not very widespread in Germany, but in recent years it has been celebrated more and more.

For our neighbors' children, I have made small candy boxes. I have used the Sizzix Movers & Shapers XL The 'Bag with flap' and decorated the small boxes with the Sizzix Thinlits layering frames. Great small gifts and done so quickly by the Big Shot Plus :)

Do you like the Halloween time just as much as I do?

Wish you a lovely Weekend.

Watercolour hello card

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

This week has started a new month, light changes, colours change too … So today I wanted to show you a cute card I’ve created inspired on September, that includes a step by step to create this watercolour background. 

I’ve used the embossing folder botany decoration for the background and to achive the watercolour effect I’ve used my distress ink. I’ve also used the floral wreath, the layering frames and the hello word dies to create this cute card. 

Here are the steps for the background:

Ink the embossing folder with distress ink.

Spray with water all the surface.

Make the sandwich using a watercolour paper.

This is the beautiful result of this process !!!

Now is time to die-cut all the pieces:

The magnetic platform is a good choice to use with the thinlits!!!

 I’ve also used the brush to remove the die-cuts.

And here are more detailed images of the card:

These leaves are beautiful !!! 

To create this card I’ve also used fabric in one of the layers and I've glued the different layers using the 3D adhsesive foam. 

I have used the following Sizzix products:

¡Hola a todos!

Esta semana hemos estrenado un nuevo mes, donde la luz cambia, los colores también... Así que hoy os quería enseñar la tarjeta que realizado inspirada en septiembre que incluye un pequeño paso a paso de cómo he creado este fondo efecto acuarela. 

Para el fondo he utilizado esta preciosa carpeta de repujado botany decoration y para conseguir el efecto acuarela he usado la tinta distress. Tambié he utilizado los troqueles floral wreath, el layering frames y el hello word para acabar de dar forma a esta tarjeta. 

Estos son los pasos para el fondo:

Entintar el interior de la carpetilla con la tinta distress como se indica en el foto.

Tirar agua con un vaporizador

Hacer el sandwich con un papel de acuarela o de alto gramaje.

El precioso recultado lo podéis apreciar en las fotos superiores.

Y ahora llega el turno a los troquelados, para ello he utilizado la base magnética que me va genial para los troqueles metálicos !!! Me he ayudado del cepillo para retirar las piezas más intricadas. 

Estas hojas me parecen preciosas!!!

Una vez tengo todo troquelado y cortado llega el momento de montar la tarjeta, he ido haciendo capas, en una de ellas he utilizado tela. 

He utilizado los siguientes productos de Sizzix:

Handbag notebook

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

It’s Friday again, so I’ve prepared a notebook which is perfect to keep in my handbag to be able to take good inspirational notes on it!!! It’s not a big notebook I like to change frequently, so this 10x15cm size  is perfect for me!

I haven’t added a lot of details to prevent damage the cover on my handbag. The burlap had to appear on my notebook, I love this material!!! And of course some little piece of sparkly paper die-cut, and this candy hearts embossment.

Another material I like to use on my notebooks are the corrugated cardstock, in this case in black colour.

Some details of the notebook:

The layering frame  in sparkly yellow paper, and the inside in white cardstock where I’ve stamped “notes”

The candy hearts embossment with a black clip to match the corrugated 

and the stamped of the notebook.

And another stamp detail.

As I’ve liked the result, I have prepared another one for my penpal.

I have used the following Sizzix products:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies   
• 660477 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Candy Hearts
• 660476 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Layering Frames

I hope you have enjoyed my new handbag notebook. Thanks for your visit!

Have a creative and happy Friday!

¡Hola a todos!

De nuevo es viernes, así que he preparado esta libreta para llevar en el bolso y que me permita tomar muchas notas inspiradoras!!! No es una libreta grande porque me encanta cambiarla amenudo, así que este tamaño de 10x15cm es ideal para mi.

No he añadido demasiados detalles para evitar que se estropee la tapa en el bolso. Y claro la arpillera tenía que aparecer en mi libreta, así como el papel purpurina que he troquelado y este repujado de corazones.

Otro material que me gusta utilizar para mis libretas es la cartulina corrugada, en este caso de color negro.

En los detalles de la libreta os enseño el marco troquelado en papel purpurina amarillo,y en la cartulina blanca interior donde he estampado "notes". La cartulina azul a la que le he realizado el repujado de corazones con un clip de color negro a juego con el corrugado y los estampados. Y un detalle de otro estampado con el sello de hormigas.

Como me ha gustado tanto el resultado he realizado otro libreta igual para mi destinataria de correspondencia.

He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies   
• 660477 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Candy Hearts

Espero que os haya gustado mi nueva libreta para el bolso.¡Gracias por la visita!

A sea frame

Hi Sizzix friends!

Today I want to show you a cute summer frame I’ve created to decorate my home. It’s inspired again by the sea, I’ve created specials fishes using a layering die... Let me show you.

This cute frame is like a window to see under the sea. Fishes, sand, coral... I like it!!!   

Here are the materials and the dies I have used:

My Big Shot plus, layering frames die, tree w/flower, heart & leaves die, a wooden frame (not in the picture), chalk paint in blue colour, sparkle paper, white cardstock, scrapbooking paper for the background, enamels, burlap and string.

First I’ve painted the wooden frame and then I’ve cut and die-cut all the pieces to create my sea frame.

Here are the die-cutting steps:

I’ve created fishes using this layering frame die, take care not to die-cut the left side.

This is the result, I’ve die-cut the same shape in sparkle paper to combine them.

I’ve die-cut the “coral” in white cardstock using the tree die

More details of the frame:

The corals and the burlap,  that reminds me the sand. 

Two sparkly fishes under the sea!!!

Square knots to decorate the frame.

And some little shells.

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy os quería enseñar un marco veraniego que he realizado y que ahora decora un rincón de casa. De nuevo me he inspirado en el mar y he creado unos peces utilizando uno de estos troqueles. Pero mejor os lo enseño a ver que os parece...

Este cuadro es como una ventana para mirar bajo el mar,. Peces, arena, coral... ¡me encanta!

Los materiales que he utilizado son: mi Big Shot, el troquel layering frames , el troquel tree w/flower, heart & leaves, un marco de madera natural (no está en la foto), chalk paint azul, papel purpurina adhesivo, cartulina blanca, papel de scrapbooking para el fondo, enamels, arpillera y cuerda. 

Primero he pintado el marco en azul y después he troquelado y cortado todas las piezas para crear mi marco.

Estos son los pasos de las piezas troqueladas:

• He creado unos peces a partir de este troquel evitando troquelar el lado izquierdo.
• Este es el resultado, he realizado lo mismo con el papel de purpurina y así combinar las piezas para crear los peces.
• Para simular el coral he utilizado esta pieza del troquel tree w/flower,

Más detalles del cuadro:

• Los corales y la arpillera que me recuerdan a la arena.
• Dos peces brillantes bajo el mar.
• Nudos marineros para decorar el marco.
• Algunas pequeñas conchas.
