Giftbox

Hey there!

Today it's saturday and I'm here again to show you a little Tutorial for a giftbox.

I like this asymmetrical shape.

On my journey to the Netherlands , I found the granules Coli Star. Small color grains, structure like salt. You sprinkle it very sparingly on watercolor paper. Then you spray water on the paper and the fireworks begins. You have to dry the paper, before you emboss for example a lettering.

Now you build the box from a piece of square paper. I used a piece, size10 cm by 10cm. Fold it like the pictures. One flap will not seal. You need the opening to fill the box. For this tab I used non permanent adhesive.

Finally, the best part :) Decorate the box!

 SIZZIX Big Shot Plus

SIZZIX Textured Imressions Embossing Folder - Candy Hearts

I used the beautiful Embossingfolder 'Candy Hearts' for the design of the background. From the watercolor paper I have two hearts punched out with my Big Shot and sewn onto the background. The word 'hello' I cut it out three times in different colors.

 Than I have strung a few beads and stuck the card on the box. Finished!

I hope you like it!

Have a good weekend. Until next week!

A flower in a Box....

This month i received the - oh my Gosh! - the great Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...
And there is so much in to play with at this set - of course the great new and bigger Big Shot
(you are able to use 8 1/2 x 11 materials!!!) - but there are also a lot of great supplies in...

For example the thinlits set with a totally cut box die....
or the Textured Impressions Plus Embossing Folder (Dots)...
or the Bigz L Die (Everyday Essentials)

And out of all this is made a flower gift box.... not only with a flower on - also with
a flower in the box....

I cut out to of the boxes - on for the outside wich i embossed with the
Dots Embossing Folder - and one for the inside.

For the inside i cut of the sides of the lid (and you have to fold it a little more tight).

Before insert i fixed a little piece of wire as the flower stalk...

And i made two 3D-flowers with the Bigz L Die (Everyday Essentials) that also
comes with the Starter Kit.

One i fix at the wire inside the box and one at the lid.

A little decoration (i made the closure our of two brads and a piece of rubber band)...
and the box is ready for giving...

The label is made with Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Layering Frames

Have a great weekend, Stephanie


Materials:
Big Shot Plus Starter Kit
out of it:
For example the thinlits set with a totally cut box die....

*******

Diesen Monat habe ich - oh mein Gott - das nagelneue Big Shot Plus Starter Kit bekommen.
Und neben der absolut genialen Big Shot mit der man auch A4 durchkurbeln kann, sind auch noch
jede Menge andere schicke Teilchen im Set...

Zum Beispiel das Thinlits Set mit dem Die für die total süße Box....
oder der Textured Impressions Plus Embossing Folder (Dots)...
oder die Bigz L Die (Everyday Essentials)...

Und aus all dem habe ich eine Blümchen-Geschenkbox gemacht.
nicht nur mit einer Blume oben drauf - nein auch mit einer drinnen.

Ich habe zwei mal die Box durchgekurbelt.
Die eine habe ich mit den Pünktchen embossed - für außen.
bei der anderen habe ich die Seiten am Deckel abgeschnitten und sie etwas enger gefalten - für innen.

Bevor ich das Innenteil eingesetzt habe, habe ich noch den Draht-Blütenstiel befestigt.

Dann habe ich mit den Blumen der Everyday Essential Die zwei Blüten gemacht.
Die eine habe ich am Draht innen befestigt und die andere auf der Box...

Noch ein bisschen Dekoration (der Verschluss besteht aus zwei Brads und etwas
Gummiband - das Label habe ich mit dem Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - 
Layering Frames gemacht) - fertig ist die Box
zum Verschenken.

Habt ein tolles Wochenende, Steffi

A cute milk carton for mom

Hi Sizzix friends!

Today I show you the cute milk box I have prepared for Mother’s Day. A beautiful simple milk box with a clean decoration is enough to say how much you love your mom and to give her a little present.

To make this lovely box I have used the milk carton die and the following supplies: a scrapbook paper, a sparkly adhesive piece of paper, a ribbon to match your box and a wire to curve the word or the name. 

Here is a detail of the heart and the word created with the wire:

This lovely heart is one of the dies included in the Big Shot Plus Kit.

And here are some images of the milk box for my mom:

This type of box is perfect as a gift box for a handmade ring or other pieces of jewellery. But it is also perfect to be used as a party favour. 

I have used the following Sizzix products:

• 660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
• 658823 Sizzix Thinlits Die - Box, Milk Carton

I hope you have enjoyed this cute box I've made for my mom. Thanks for your visit!

Have a creative and happy Friday!

Raquel

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy os quería enseñar esta caja con forma de cartón de leche que he preparado para el día de la madre. Una preciosa caja con una sencilla decoración puede ser suficiente para decirle a nuestra madre cómo la queremos y darle un pequeño detalle.

Para realizar esta caja he utilizado el troquel milk carton y los siguientes materiales: papel para scrapbook, papel adhesivo de purpurina, cinta para lazo y alambre para moldear el nombre.

Aquí podéis ver el detalle del corazón y la palabra creada con el alambre.

Este corazón está realizado con uno de los troqueles incluidos en el kit de iniciación de la Big Shot Plus.

Y aquí os muestro más imágenes de la caja:

La verdad es que esta caja es ideal para contener un anillo o  detalle de joyería. Pero también sería muy bonito utilizarla como recordatorio de alguna ceremonia.

He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:

• 660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
• 658823 Sizzix Thinlits Die - Box, Milk Carton

Espero que os haya gustado esta bonita caja que he realizado para mi madre. ¡Gracias por vuestra visita!

¡Os deseo un feliz y creativo viernes!

Butterfly Kisses and Flower Petal Wishes

Hello crafty people out there,

it´s me again, Julia. I hope you guys had a nice week? :)

The last days I got totally into heat embossing. I just bought a bunch of new colors of embossing powder and couldn´t stop trying it out. So that´s why my project for this week is heat embossed all over it.

This is what you will need:

Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit #660515

(it includes all Dies you need: the box, butterflies and flowers)

embossing powder, embossing ink pad, heat embossing gun, cardstock

If you are ready making a few of butterflies with your Big Shot Plus and the Framelits, you can start giving them a glittery finish with your embossing powder. Just dip the wings onto your embossing ink pad and cover your whole butterfly with the embossing powder of your choice.

With a brush you can remove it on places you won´t like to have the embossing powder. I am always using a big wood cloth pin while heat embossing, because I don`t want my hands to get burned. ;)

I think it looks pretty real, as they would fly away in a blink of an eye. :) Do you like it? Hope you got inspired a little bit to combine heatem bossing with your die cutting projects.

Have a nice day everyone, xo Julia

-------------------------------------------

Hallo ihr Lieben,

ich bins wieder, die Julia. :) Derzeit bin ich total im Embossingwahn. Da mussten diese Woche auch direkt ein paar neue tolle Farben gekauft werden. Das macht ein Spaß! :) Und aus diesem Grund gibt es  heute ein Geschenkschachtel mit glitzernden Schmetterlingen. 

Was ihr benötigt:

Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit #660515

(hier sind ALLE Dinge drin die ihr zum Stanzen benötigt: die Box, die Schmetterlinge und auch die Blümchen oben auf)

Embossingpuder, Embossingstempelkissen (z.B. Versamark), Embossingfön

Wenn ihr die Schmetterlinge ausgestanzt habt, legt ihr immer nur die Flügel in euer Embossingstempelkissen. Dann das Embossingpuder drüber geben (ich bin da immer recht großzügig ;) ) und den Schmetterling wieder herausheben. Das Embossingpuder bleibt nur an den Stellen haften, die vorher auf dem Embossingkissen lagen. Mit einem Pinsel könnt ihr noch an den Stellen das Puder entfernen, die frei bleiben sollen. Dann den Embossingfön anschmeissen und das Puder zum schmelzen bringen. Bei solch filigranen Formen verwende ich immer eine große Holzklammer, damit ich mir die Finger nicht verbrenne. ;)

Ich finde die Schmetterlinge sehen zauberhaft aus, oder? Vielleicht seid ihr nun auch ein wenig inspiriert eure Embossingpuder herauszukramen und mit euren gestanzten Projekten zu kombinieren.

Habt einen tollen Tag, xo Julia

star shaped treasure box tutorial

Hi there,

i hope you are celebrating a wonderful great easter with your family.

If you need a little break between egg hunting, family cake parties and easter dinner
i have a little tutorial for you...

I made a little star shaped treasure box for you...

First i made four stars using the second largest die of the Sizzix Framelits Die Set Stars (#657567).
One side of a ray measures 3cm - this measure we need later.

Than i embossed one of the stars with dots using the Sizzix Textured Impressions 
Embossing Folders Houndstooth & Stars Set (#659745)

Than i added watercolor...

During the watercolor dries i built the box.

I cut a strip of paper, 31 cm long
(5 rays with two sides - each 3 cm - makes 30 cm... + 1 cm for fixing)
and 5 cm wide (left and right 1 cm for fixing).

Every 3 cm i fold the paper strip...and i clip small triangles for making the fixing straps.

Than i glued one of the remaining stars to the strip.

Then i used the third largest die and the third star for building a framed star..
I laid it on the box and marked the overlaping paper.
Then i cropped it and fixed the framed star.

I fold the fourth star and glued two rays on to the box.
Now the other three rays are the lid.
I fixed a small magnet for closing the lid.

The box is finished.

Decorating time!!!! Remember the first embossed star...
I decorated it with Stamps and leaves and fixed it on the front of the box.

Ready....

Material:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine (#660020)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set Stars (#657567)
Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Houndstooth & Dots Set (#659745)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Garden Greens (#659436)


Happy crafting
Stephanie

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

Hallo ihr Lieben,

heute habe ich ein kleines Tutorial für euch.
Eine sternförmige Geschenkbox.

Ihr braucht:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine (#660020)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set Stars (#657567)
Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Houndstooth & Dots Set (#659745)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Garden Greens (#659436)
Cardstock in weiß
Wasserfarbe und Gedöns zum Dekorieren.

Zuerst schneidet ihr euch vier Sterne aus - ich habe den zweitgrößten aus dem Sizzix Framelits Die Set Stars (#657567) genommen. Die Seite eines Strahls ist 3 cm lang - dieses Maß brauchen wir später.

Einen der Sterne embossed ihr mit den Pünktchen aus dem Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders Houndstooth & Stars Set (#659745).
Ich habe das Ganze dann noch mit Wasserfarbe bepinselt.

Während die Farbe trocknet, schneidet ihr euch einen Streifen Papier aus.
Der muss 31 x 5 cm sein (die 3 cm von vorhin x 10 Seiten + 1 cm Klebefläche).

Den Streifen faltet ihr alle 3 cm und schneidet euch kleine Dreiecke in den Rand um die
Klebelaschen zu fertigen.

Dann klebt ihr einen der restlichen Sterne an eurem Rand fest.
So entsteht schon mal eine kleine Box.

Aus dem dritten Stern macht ihr einen kleinen Rahmen zusammen mit dem drittgrößten Die.

So könnt ihr euch schon mal die überlappenden Papiere der Box abmessen und diese dann
abschneiden.... Dann klebt ihr euch den "Rahmenstern" auf - das sieht schöner aus.

Den vierten Stern faltet ihr nach zwei Strahlen und fixiert diese zwei Strahlen auf der Box.
Die restlichen drei Strahlen sind der Deckel. Ich habe einen kleinen Magneten angesetzt, der die
Box geschlossen hält.

Jetzt geht es ans Dekorieren des embossten Sterns... Blätter, Stempel... was ihr mögt.
Dann klebt ihr den Stern auf die Vorderseite der Box....

Fertig....

Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß beim Nachmachen...

Liebste Grüße
Stephanie

Gift Box and Card

Hi Sizzix fans! Anna here with a Sizzix project.

Today I'm showing you a simple gift idea. This little box is really easy to make and so lovely! Inside there are crayons for a boy, but you can fill with chocolates for an Easter treat.

 

 

To create the box you need the great Sizzix Bigz XL Box & Card by Stephanie Ackerman and a pair of Extended Cutting Pads. I also die cut a Card using the die of that name. The box is embellished with a window circle made with Framelits.

 

 

 

To create the box:

Die-cut from patterned paper and apply double-sided tape to the two long side flaps.

Fold all crease lines in the same direction. Fold the front of the Box to meet the back of the Box and adhere along the side flaps.

Insert the gift and apply a piece of washi tape. Wrap the box several times with twine.

 

 

To create the tag:

Cut out a card from cardstock with XL die.

Let a few drops of spray ink. Re-use the circle that you have cut out in the box and apply. Stamp and die-cut the sentiment with Thinlits set and apply with foam board tape.

Adhere a mini tag with stapler and staples.

Embellish with sequins and paper clip.

 

This die is so versatile and my mind is overflowing with ideas for this cute little die, from a crayon box to Wedding favors, Easter Treat and just about everything in between. I love that I can use bits and pieces of this die and adapt it to fit any holiday or occasion.

Thanks for stopping by :)

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Ciao a tutti gli amici di Sizzix! Sono Anna e sono qui per condividere un veloce tutorial usando le fustelle Sizzix.

Oggi vi mostro, infatti, un'idea regalo carina e semplice. Vedrete che questa scatolina è davvero facile da fare!

All'interno ci sono dei pastelli a cera, da regalare ad un bambino, ma si può riempire benissimo con cioccolatini per un pensierino per la prossima Pasqua.

Per creare la scatolina è necessario avere la splendida Sizzix Bigz XL Box & Card by Stephanie Ackerman ed un paio di piani di taglio lunghi. La fustella taglia qualunque tipo di cartoncino, anche spesso, segnando ogni piega per facilitare il montaggio. Con la stessa fustella ho tagliato anche una piccola card. La scatolina è impreziosita da una finestra rotonda, realizzata grazie alle fustelle Framelits.

Per creare la scatolina:

Fustellare la struttura usando una carta scrap e applicare colla o biadesivo per i due lembi laterali lunghi.

Piegare tutte le parti già segnate. Piegare la parte anteriore della scatola in modo da combaciare con il retro e incollare lungo le alette laterali.

Inserire il dono (pastelli, confetti, cioccolatini...) e applicare un pezzo di washi tape a scopo decorativo. Avvolgere lo spago intorno alla scatolina più volte e frae un fiocco.

Per creare la tag:

Con la stessa fustella, tagliare una card dal cartoncino prescelto.

Lasciate cadere qualche goccia di colori vari. Riutilizzare il cerchio che si è ritagliato in precedenza per creare la finestra della scatolina ed incollare. Timbrare e fustellare il "sentiment" con il set di Thinlits e incollare sopra al cerchio con scotch spessorato.

Applicare una mini tag con la graffettatrice.

Infine, abbellire con paillettes e graffetta.

Questa fustella è davvero versatile, tanto che ho in mente diverse idee per utilizzarla, dalle bomboniere a piccolissimi album accordion. Vedrete che potrete adattarla ad ogni tipo di ricorrenza o di occasione.

Grazie per la visita... felice scrap! :)
