Birthday card with layered Tattered flower

Hello! It's Anna here to share some ideas using Sizzix products.

Hope you all are well and having a wonderful week.

Today I have a card to share that is full of romantic colours and a beautiful daisy flower. I share a tutorial on making paper flower using Tattered Florals and Tiny Tabs & Tags dies, from Essential Range.

Here is the card that I created:

 

 
 

How to make:

1- Cut a stripe of pink cardstock of 15x20 cm. Fold the paper in half to make your card blank.

2- Cover the front with a patterned paper flowers.

3- Cut a strip of patterned paper brown, then adhere in the bottom and spray the white color.

4- Fold a paper cup cupcake and apply in the center of card.

5- Cut out a tag using the Die - Tiny Tabs & Tags. Let a few drops of color ink. Apply the washi tape. Add some twine and glue the tag to the right. Roll end of twine and use the stapler to attach.

6- Cut out a little flower with Framelits and apply to the tag.

7- Use the Bigz die (656640) to cut out three flowers from pink cardstock and one similar flower with Decorative Strip Die. Start with the smallest and work backwards. Paint the center of flower with color ink. Apply the fabric button. Shape the petals.

8- Cut a banner edge to a white cardstock strip, then stamp (or print) the sentiment. Adhere the sentiment strip in the seam, to the right. Apply above the flower.

9- Accent the card with some sequins.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my little card. I hope that you have a really wonderful & restful week end ahead of you.

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Ciao, sono Anna e sono qui per condividere alcune idee utilizzando i prodotti Sizzix.

Spero stiate bene e che abbiate avuto una splendida settimana.

Oggi condivido con voi la mia ultima card, dallo stile e dai colori romantici e con un bellissimo fiore margherita, che accompagna meglio gli auguri. Per questa card ho usato le fustelle Tattered Florals e Tiny Tabs & Tags, che fanno parte della collezione Essential Range.

Vediamo come ho realizzato la card...

Procedimento:

1-Tagliare una striscia di cartoncino rosa, piegare il foglio a metà per avere il vostro biglietto base.

2- Coprire il fronte del biglietto con un rettangolo di carta a fiori.

3- Tagliare una striscia di carta fantasia marrone, incollare nella parte bassa della card e spruzzare un po' di colore bianco.

4- Piegare un pirottino di carta a metà e applicarlo al centro.

5- Tagliare una tag. Lasciar cadere qualche goccia di inchiostro. Applicare il washi tape. Aggiungere un po' di cordoncino e incollare la tag a destra del pirottino. Arrotolare la fine del cordoncino ed usare la pinzatrice per fissare.

6- Tagliare un fiorellino con i Framelits e incollare sulla tag.

7- Utilizzare la fustella Bigz (656640) per tagliare tre fiori dal cartoncino rosa e un fiore di forma simile usando la striscia decorativa coordinata. Quindi sovrapporre i fiori, iniziando con il più piccolo e lavorando a ritroso. Dare dei tocchi col pennello intinto nell'inchiostro ciliegia soprattutto al centro del fiore. Applicare il bottone di stoffa. Modellare i petali.

8- Tagliare a “becco di civetta” una striscia di cartoncino bianco, quindi timbrare (o stampare) l'augurio. Incollare la striscia sopra la giuntura tra le carte. Applicare sopra il fiore.

9- Infine, abbellire con alcune paillette. Aggiungere qualche cucitura, se si vuole.

Ecco fatto!

Grazie per aver trovato il tempo per passare di qua. Vi auguro di trascorrere un fine settimana davvero meraviglioso e rilassante!

Summer Tattered Flower Cushion

Hi everyone! Today I come back with a new cushion project. I love  how  turned it on.

This time I wanted something different, elegant  and  more creative so I sew some embellishment.

For my summer project I chose some of the essentials dies, one of them included in the Sizzix Plus Starter kit. This new machine let me to use two dies at the same time.

I love tattered  Florals  by Tim Holtz and this die is one my all time used die since it was on sale.

You can see how versatile is this flower die taking a look to the Vintage Sewing Machine cover  and published in Manos Maravillosas issue.

First I ironed some fusible web on the wrong side of the fabric and cut  the pieces, flowers and leaves.

Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Florals

Big Shot Plus starter kit 

Then I layer on my background fabric , a very cream tone, and stitched with my machine and brown thread, all around.

With the pieces stitched and displayed as you can see in the pic, I started hand quilting with perle  brown  8 cotton. Previously I added some  batting, of course.

                

I wanted some  beads in my cushion so  I chose some in red, cream and brown.

 Finally I did the finishing with some fabric ribbon I sew by machine and used to tie on the back of the cushion. You can take a look to  Merry Xmas Cushion  or Autumn  Fox Faces cushion finished in the same way.
Now it matches perfectly with my Ohio Star quilt I showed here and waiting for quilting yet.
I like this style cushion , don´t you ?

Hope you can enjoy this time of the year , perfect to be with family and friends!!
See you in two weeks again!!
Love
Mercedes

¡Hola a todo el mundo !Hoy vengo con un nuevo proyecto cojín .Me encanta cómo ha quedado. Quería que fuera algo diferente, elegante y creativo así que añadí algunos abalorios.

Para  mi proyecto de verano  he elegido algunos  troqueles básicos de Sizzix , uno de ellos  incluído en el Starter kit de la  nueva troqueladora Big Shot Plus. Lo bueno es que al se más ancha ,puedo usar dos troqueles a la vez, con lo que ahorro tiempo.

Me encanta el troquel Tattered Florals de Tim Holtz y es uno de los que más uso desde que salió a la venta.

Puedes ver lo versátil que es echando un vistazo en otro proyecto que hice , la funda Vintage para la máquina de coser y que fue publicada en la revista Manos Maravillosas.

Lo primero que hice fue planchar por el revés de la tela elegida , algo de entretela. Luego corté con los troqueles lo que necesitaba , flores y hojas.

Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Florals

Big Shot Plus starter kit 

Coloqué todo sobre la tela de fondo , una en crema muy clarita, y cosí alrededor a máquina con hilo marrón oscuro. Después hice algo de acolchado a mano con hilo  perlé de algodón marrón  en el número 8, sin olvidar añadir algo de guata por detrás ,claro.

Como ya te he dicho , quería algo de adornos así que dispuse  algunos abalorios en crema, marrón y rojo.

Finalmente lo terminé añadiendo algunas cintas  para cerrarlo con ataduras , usando tela de la misma colección . Si echas un vistazo a  Merry Xmas Cushion  o  Autumn  Fox Faces cushion 

puedes ver  explicado el mismo acabado.

Ahora hace juego perfectamente con el quilt  Ohio Star que te enseñé aquí y que aún está esperando ser acolchado. Me gusta este estilo de cojín, ¿ y a ti?

Espero que disfrutes esta parte del año , perfecta para estar con la familia y los amigos .

Te veo en un par de semanas.

Fall Family Fun.

Hello, it's me Bente here with an Autumn/Fall inspired page.
The air is much crisper now than only a couple of weeks ago and up here in the Scandinavian countries the days have grown much shorter.

 I think you can tell I had a lot of messy fun with this page. I added a couple of my all time favourite dies. As you probably know by now, the Tattered Floral die is just perfect for making your own flowers and the Frameworks dies are all wonderful to use both as a background or as a special feature on their own.

I took the picture yesterday when we went for a stroll in the beechforest looking for any remaining delicious chanterelles. We came home pretty emptyhanded, but we all ejoyed our little outing very much.

I used the large Tim Holtz Leaf die with its embossingfolder. I think it is absolutely beautiful. In my previous post I used it as well, on a couple of cards.

Finally a little close up of one of my Tattered Florals (medium sixed).

So today was an explosion of colour. I hope you enjoyed my Fall inspired page and I will be looking forward to seeing you same place and same time next Sunday! :-)

The Sizzix products I used are:
Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Frameworks Die - Courtyard
Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Florals
Sizzix Bigz Die w/Texture Fades - Layered Leaf

Papers are Prima and Les papiers de Pandore. Flowers are Prima, Petaloo, Magnolia

Have a nice new week!

My vintage sewing machine cover

Hi everyone ! Do you remember I was working in a new project and I needed to finish  and I showed you here last summer ? Ok, finally it´s finished  and I looooooove it.
It´s incredible how tattered dies can be use  and how easy they are to enjoy in a quilting project.

I planned this cover for my loved Bernina some time ago. But as you know , some time projects have to wait for new ones. And this one waited  and waited and waited until at last I came back to it on summer.

Here it is the front of the cover with the lovely bird that I adore by Tim Holtz, so cute!!

And here it is the back. I can change the view when I want !!

My sewing accesories sewn before, like the very big  pincushion with the tuto , match perfectly as  it is my desire

If you want to see a video about how I did this quilting go to my post  Quilting leaves in my blog.

This cover has the size for a Bernina Aurora 440.  You must to take the size of your own machine.

SUPPLY LIST:

SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - TATTERED FLORALS

SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - TATTERED LEAVES
SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - CAGED BIRD

Fabrics from your selection for the bird, leaves and flowers

White fabric for the three pannels:

       21"x 12"- 2 pieces 

       45.5 " x 9"- 1  long piece 

Batting ( Same pieces and sizes than the  white fabric )

Fusible web

Quilting thread matched with the fabrics

58 " bias 

piping or cord if you do it (two bias of 44" with piping)

First I started ironing  fusible web on the wrong side of the fabrics.

Then I cut with my old Big shot a lot of flowers, leaves and a bird.

Here it is how I  appliqued the flowers using my 20 foot and matching thread color with fabric.

I added the batting before as it is usual.

After quilting leaves I sew the three parts of the cover  and added a pipped edge around the cover. 

I did by myself  with a bought bias and some  cotton cord.

Finally I sew more bias at the botton of the cover and finished with hidden stitched by hand.

I have to say this is the most lovely machine cover for my Aurora!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Love

Mercedes

¡Hola a todo el mundo ! ¿ Recuedas que estaba trabajando en un proyecto que tenía que acabar y que te conté aquí  durante el verano ? Pues ya está terminado y me encanta.

Es incredible cómo me han servido los troqueles de las hojas, flores y pájaro que tanto me gusta de Tim Holtz.

La verdad es que ha tenido que esperar  porque como ya sabes , a veces otros proyectos caen en las manos.

En las fotos primeras  fotos puedes ver la parte delantera, con el pajarito , y la trasera. Cuando me canse puedo darle la vuelta y tener otra vista.

Mis accesorios de costura que he cosido antes, como el gran acerico que ya mostré en un tuto, coordina fenomenal , tal y como yo deseaba.
Si quieres ver cómo hice el acolchado sólo tienes que ir al artículo Acolchando en forma de hojas de mi blog y ver el vídeo que hice.

Esta funda tiene la medida para mi Bernina Aurora 440. Tú tienes que tomar la tuya de tu máquina .

Materiales :

SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - TATTERED FLORALS

SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - TATTERED LEAVES

SIZZIX BIGZ DIE - CAGED BIRD

Telas de tu elección para las hojas, flores y pájaro.

Tela blanca para el fondo de los tres paneles:
   53cm x 30cm - 2 piezas
   108 cm x 23cm- 1 pieza

Guata ( las mismas cantidades y medidas que la tela blanca ) 

Entretela de pegar con plancha

Hilo de acolchar del mismo color que las telas

Bies 147 cm 

Bies con cordón o cordón  y biés si lo quieres hacer tú ( 2 trozos de 112cm ya montado )

Primero empecé planchando  la entretela  por el revés sobre las telas que iba a  recortar .Después corté las flores, hojas y pájaro.

Las appliqué con un festón como ves en la foto con el mismo color de hilo que la tela. Antes coloqué la guata debajo como es habitual antes de empezar a aplicar y acolchar.

Hice el acolchado en forma de  hojas y cosí las tres partes colocando el biés con cordón por el borde lateral. Después añadí el biés inferior y lo rematé a mano.

Tengo que decir que es la funda más preciosa para mi Bernima.¡Me encanta !

Que tengas un maravilloso fin de semana

Cariños
