"You & Me = Selfie" by Gent van Gent

Hello Sizzix Friends!

Today I am sharing another layout which is part of our

Summer Vacation (2014) album. Love that selfie of hubby and I -

it has a special place in our family album :-)

For this layout I combined New & Old dies and of course I used one my 

favourite paper punches by Sizzix - Butterfly, Large!

The colour combination is not the usual Summer colour combo -

it has to do with the country we were on vacation - Egypt :-)

The flourish I added to decorate the photo were created by

mixing the pretty Sizzix florals and fussy cut paper flowers.

I, once again, used the Do What you Love die and, 

once again, I used it in a separate parts on my project.

I combined one of the Tribal Borders with

the scallop border from the Starter Kit.

"My Everything" Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

For my blog post today I prepared a simple layout
where I mixed a few Sizzix awesome dies and
a cute embossing folder by Brenda Walton.

Hope you'll enjoy!

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit

660268 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Roses

656520 Sizzix Bigz Die Floral w/Leaves

656554 Sizzix Bigz Die Corners Flourish #2

*        *        *

I love the Embossing Folder Roses and I wanted to

use it for decoration on my layout. And because the size 

didn't fit on my design I decided to do the following:

1. I embossed twice the Roses on white cardstock.

2. After that I cut out only the roses - a pair of roses and a rose

3. Then I used chalk ink to distress them. 

N.B. By mixing yellow and blue you get a "bonus" colour - green :-)

The Corners Flourish #2  and  Floral w/Leaves were die cut

from pattern paper and used on the layout.

The die-cut flourish/swirls were cut in pieces so

they can "fit" on different spots on the layout.

One of favourite thinlits flowers from the Starter Kit.

Simply die cut from white cardstock and mix with any flower - 

the effect is so beautiful and adorable.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Prima Marketing: pattern papers, sugar dots, sticker

Ingvild Bolme/Prima Marketing Chalk Edgers

Maja Design: pattern paper

Petaloo: paper flowers
