50th wedding anniversary card

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

Some days ago a couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It’s an important milestone in their lives that they wanted to celebrate so I created a greeting card with an inside pocket for the present.

I’ve played with white and gold colour because in my country this anniversary is called “the gold wedding” and of course with lots of Sizzix dies !!!

It’s a big card sized 13,5 x 19,5 cm. To create it I’ve used the round circles Framelits, the leaves 660821 and 660822, Heartfelt and the Alphanumeric Thinlits. For the background I’ve used the embossing folder Plus Happy Texture.

Some pictures of the details with some explanations:

First I’ve die-cut the circle on the background white cardstock (that is 5mm smaller than the card size) creating a round hole on the cardstock and then I’ve made the embossment.  

Then I’ve die-cut the round sparkly frame using two sizes of circle dies. The flowery paper is between the card and the white embossed cardstock. 

I’ve die-cut two hearts in white cardstock and then I’ve repeated the same process that I’ve used for the frame to create the rings.

I’ve also die-cut a pair of leaves in white cardstock to give volume.

When you open the card there is a pocket that contains an envelope. To decorate the pocket I’ve die-cut the names of the couple in sparkly paper using the alphanumeric die.

Here are the envelope details:

I’ve die-cut this white heart and made the embossment so I can use it as the closure of the envelope.

I’ve created this envelope using vellum paper. 

Here is the top view of the wedding card I’ve created for the celebration: 

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 
• 660522 Sizzix Accessory - Cutting Pads, Standard, 1 Pair (Mint) Teal blue

Hola a todos!

Hace unos días una pareja celebraba sus 50 años de casados. Es una fecha muy importante para ellos y querían celebrarlo, así que preparé una tarjeta para felicitarlos con un bolsillo interior donde añadir el regalo.

He jugado con el blanco y el dorado pues se trata de las "Bodas de oro" y, por supuesto, con varios troqueles de Sizzix!!!

Se trata de una tarjeta de 13,5 x 19,5 cm. Para realizarla he utilizado los círculos de  Framelits, las hojas 660821 y 660822, Heartfelt y el Alphanumeric Thinlits. Para el fondo he utilizado la carpeta de embossing Plus Happy Texture.

Algunas imágenes de los detalles y sus explicaciones:

Primero he troquelado un círculo en la cartulina blanca de fondo (que es 5mm más pequeña que la tarjeta) creando un agujero en la cartulina y entonces he realizado el embossing.

Después he troquelado un marco circular papel purpurina utilizando dos medidas de troqueles de círculo. El papel de flores está entre la tarjeta y la cartulina con embossing.
He troquelado dos corazones en cartulina blanca y he repetido el mismo proceso que en el marco anterior para crear los anillos.
He troquelado un par de hojas en cartulina blanca para darle volumen.
Cuando abrimos la tarjeta está el bolsillo que contiene un sobre. Para decorar el bolsillo he troquelado los nombres de la pareja en cartulina de purpurina usando el troquel alphanumeric.

Aquí os muestro algunos detalles del sobre:

He troquelado el corazón en blanco y le he realizado el embossing. Utilizando este elemento como cierre del sobre.
He creado el sobre utilizando papel vegetal.

Y aquí una vista superior de la tarjeta que he creado para esta celebración: 

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 
• 660522 Sizzix Accessory - Cutting Pads, Standard, 1 Pair (Mint) Teal blue

Gold Glitter and Watercolor Card - perfect for a Wedding

Hello everybody,

it´s time for some pretty wedding cards. :) So many people are going to get married the next months and weeks, so I had to make my first card for this theme. Of course with my die cutting supplies from Sizzix, because it´s so super easy. ;)

So here is my list of supplies for this card:

*Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) #660515

*Sizzix Bigz Die - Mariposa #658530

*Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower, Daisies #654981

blank card and white cardstock, gold glitter and watercolors, sentiment stamp

Butterflies, you can never have enought butterflies. ;) And I think they are perfect for wedding themed cards, decoration and gift wrapping. I combined a lot of white with some details in gold glitter with a bit of watercolor on my butterfly. I like that he looks like he want to fly away in the next seconds. :)

Do you like watercoloring? Have you added it to your die cutting projects so far? If not, give it a try. :) Have a nice day, xo Julia

Here you have a step by step tutorial:

Yo quería un cuaderno grabado en oro ... En los últimos meses, sólo veo dorado sobre kraft, y me encanta! Pero quiero uno hecho a mano, mi propio cuaderno de falso grabado en oro.

Compré un cuaderno con tapas de cartón kraft, cogí mi carpeta de repujado de Craft Asylum (Botány Decoratión) y algunos elementos más (un rotulador acrílico, tinta Archival y un bonito sello), y de una manera muy fácil he podido hacer mi exclusivo cuaderno de oro grabado en kraft.

Noel candy cane

 

 

Back to Christmas card again this week and I've gone with one of my favourite colour combinations for Christmas: Kraft, white, red and gold. Love the way those colours come together and instantly remind me of Christmas. This week's card features the new Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards as well as the new Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette.

 

 

I kept the card relatively simple and let the card feature a rather large slice of white space.

 

 

On the left most side of the white cardstock, I diecut one of the borders from Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette. Then I used the same border to cut red cardstock to fill in the empty spaces in the white cardstock and thereby achieving the candy cane look. The second border, also from Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette, was diecut in a gold paper. I made sure to reserve the stars from the border to use as a detail near the sentiment.

 

 

To create the sentiment for the card I diecut four (and ended up only using three) "noels" using one of the dies from Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards. Glueing the three diecuts on top of one another will give your diecut dimension as well as stability.

 

Once I had mounted three "noels" on top of one another I added the sentiment to my card. I then strung the baker's twine around the card and tied a bow just above the sentiment. To make sure that the ends of the bow remained arranged in a nice way, I put a little glue under each end. The final touch was to add three of the little gold stars above the sentiment.

 

Supply list:

Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Accessory - Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies

Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette 

Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards
Cardstock
Gold paper
Baker's twine

Jeg er tilbage til julekortene i denne uge, og jeg har arbejdet med en af mine favorit farvekombinationer til julekort: kraft, hvid, rød og guld. Jeg elsker den måde, de farver arbejder sammen og umiddelbart minder en om jul. Denne uges kort er lavet med dies fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards og Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette.

 

Kortet er hold enkelt og med et relativt stort white space område.

 

På den venstre side af det hvide karton udstansede jeg en af strimlerne fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette. Jeg brugte den samme die til at udstanse rødt karton til at fylde i hullerne i det hvide karton, hvorved jeg fik candy cane looket frem. Den anden strimmel, også fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette, udstansede jeg i guldfarvet papir. Jeg sørgede for at gemme de små stjerner, så jeg kunne bruge dem et andet sted på kortet.

 

For at lave teksten på kortet udstansede jeg fire "noel" (jeg endte med kun at bruge tre af dem) med en die fra Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Christmas Phrase Cards. Når man limer flere udstansede motiver ovenpå hinanden, får man et stabilt og dimensionelt motiv uden at bruge 3d-puder.

 

Da jeg havde limet de tre "noel" ovenpå hinanden, limede jeg dem på det kortet. Herefter vandt jeg baker's twine om kortet, og bandt sløjfen lige over teksten. For at være sikker på at sløjfens ender blev siddende på en pæn måde, limede jeg dem fast med en lille klat lim. Det sidste touch var at montere tre af guldstjernerne over højre side af hilsnen.

card inspiration with Janna Werner.

Hello everyone, this is Janna. Today I would like to share two cards that I created for today´s inspirational post. As you can see, I am still drawn to the gold/white/silver color combination :-)

Material list:
658300 Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (including BS machine and dies)
657691 Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leaves
658613 Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle
658356 Sizzix Textured Impressions - Rose Vines & Trellis
cardstock, doily, twine, vellum, rhinestones, pearls: Stampin´Up
journaling card: Skipping5
spray: Studio Calico
crepe paper: Dear Lizzy
glitter: American Crafts
other: sewing machine, liquid pearls (Ranger Ink), glue, scissors

I have to admit that the real beauty of these cards is hard to catch on photos. That is because both cards include elements of a golden journaling card. When the sun hits those parts, they glimmer, sparkle and shine - you can get an idea on the photo below.

I created both cards at the same time. I used a piece of kraft cardstock and cut it in two, each card base measures 14.5 cm x 21 cm (unfolded). After folding the card bases in the middle, I added spritzers with white spray. While the spray was drying, I used the Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle to cut the heart out of the journaling card and embossed the vellum with the two embossing dies that come with the Textured Impressions - Rose Vines & Trellis set.

The butterfly was cut out of crepe paper, using one of the many dies that are included in the Big Shot Starter Kit. I sewed the butterfly on top of an embossed vellum heart and adhered both on top of the journaling card.

I like to add twine on the spine of cards as it lets them appear lighter and more interesting. As I did not want the twine to distract from the card itself, I chose kraft twine as well.

I hope you enjoyed today´s inspiration. Please click here, if you would like to see more of my scrapbooking and papercrafts projects. See you next thursday,

Janna

Hallo ihr Lieben, hier ist Janna. Ich möchte euch zwei Karten zeigen, die ich für den heutigen Inspirationspost hergestellt habe. Wie ihr seht, fühle ich mich immer noch zu der Gold/Weiß/Silber Farbkombination hingezogen :-)

Materialliste:
658300 Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (including BS machine and dies)
657691 Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leaves
658613 Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle
658356 Sizzix Textured Impressions - Rose Vines & Trellis
Cardstock, Doily, Twine, Vellum, Glitzersteine, Perlen: Stampin´Up
Journaling Card: Skipping5
Spray: Studio Calico
Krepppapier: Dear Lizzy
Glitter: American Crafts
Sonstiges: Nähmaschine, liquid pearls (Ranger Ink), Kleber, Schere

Ich muss gestehen, dass die wahre Schönheit dieser Karten nicht gut auf Fotos einzufangen ist. Das liegt daran, dass ich auf beiden Karten Teile einer goldenen Journaling Karte benutzt habe. Sobald die Sonne auf diese Elemente fällt, schimmern, scheinen und glitzern sie. Ein wenig ist das auf den Nahaufnahmen zu erahnen.

Ich habe die Karten gleichzeitig erstellt. Dafür habe ich einen kraftfarbenen Cardstock zweigeteilt, jeder Kartenrohling hatte ungefaltet eine Größe von 14.5 cm x 21 cm. Nachdem ich die Karten mittig gefaltet hatte, habe ich mit weißem Spray Kleckse aufgetragen. Während diese trockneten habe ich mit dem Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle das Herz aus der Journaling Karte ausgestanzt und das Vellum mit den beiden Foldern embossed, die im Textured Impressions - Rose Vines & Trellis Set enthalten sind.

Den Schmetterling habe ich aus Krepppapier ausgestanzt und zwar mit einer der vielen Dies, die zum
Big Shot Starter Kit gehören. Den Schmetterling habe ich dann auf das embosste Vellum-Herz genäht und beides zusammen auf der Journaling Karte befestigt.

Ich wickle gerne Twine um den Kartenrücken, da dies die Karte leichter und interessanter erscheinen lässt. Da ich verhindern wollte, dass der Twine von der Karte ablenkt, habe ich mich ebenfalls für kraftfarbenen Twine entschieden.

Ich hoffe, euch hat die heutige Inspiration gefallen. Bitte klickt hier, wenn ihr weitere meiner
Scrapbooking- und Papier-Projekte sehen möchtet. Bis nächsten Donnerstag,

Janna
