Boy version

Hi everybody!

Today, I propose you a different version of the chipboard realized weeks ago.

Following the success of this project, I decided to realize a new one with the little face of my nephew Timéo!

I started with the same support and same layout of the papers but this time with a dominance of blue and grey, I added brightness with a touch of mustard colour. The collection Sydney Swirlcards was perfect!

I chose to add volume using 2 rosettes realized with the Die "Rosette" of Tim Holtz.

Moreover I added a very discreet touch of pink, as the cap on the picture was of this colour…

There is a lovely present which will be offered quickly!

Items used:

660020: Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine

657177: Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Die: Mini paper Rosettes (2PK)

Paper: Swirlcards

Wooden Stars: Studio Calico

Buttons and Twin: Scrapboukits

Have a good day,

Isalilou

Clipboard version garçon,

Aujourd 'hui, je vous propose une version différente du chipboard réalisée il y a quelque semaine.

Devant le succès de ce projet, j'ai décidé d'en réalisé un avec la trombine de mon neveu Timéo!

Je suis donc parti du même support et de la même disposition des papiers mais avec cette fois une prédominance de bleu et de gris, j'ai ajouté un peu de luminosité avec une touche de couleur moutarde. La collection Swirlcards Sydney était parfaite!

J'ai choisi de mettre du volume grâce à 2 rosaces réalisées avec le Die " Rosette" de Tim Holtz.
j'ai ajouté une pointe de rose, très discrète, vu que la casquette sur la photo était de cette couleur…

Voilà un joli cadeau qui sera offert très vite!

Romantic gift box and gift tag

Hi everybody! Elena here. 

Today I want to show you a little gift box in a very romantic style.

Supply list:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus
• 660832 Sizzix Thinlits Plus Die Set 3PK - Love Birds Gift Box
• 656545 Sizzix Bigz Die - Flowers, 3-D
• 657552 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles, Scallop
• 660162 Sizzix Paper Punch - Leaf, Medium
• Card: Kraft, pink, cream, green
• Ribbon

• Adhesive

To make the gift tag I have die cut two sixes of the scallop circle in two different card colours and have glued them together. Then I have rolled the rose and adhered to the middle of the tag, punched the two leaves and glued them behind the rose. This gives a very romantic look to the box but clean and modern at the same time.

I hope you like this box and gift tag!

Elena

¡Hola a todos!

Para hacer el tag, he troquelado los dos círculos de galleta en dos colores diferentes y los he pegado entre ellos. Después he enrollado la rosa y la he pegado en el centro, después he troquelado las dos hojas y las he pegado debajo. 

Espero que os guste!

LONE STAR MINI QUILT: FINISHED!

Dies used: Diamonds, 2 1/2in (2 3/4in x 6 1/2in Unfinished)
                 Half-Square Triangles, 2 1/2in Finished Square
                 Square, 4in Finished (4 1/2in Unfinished)


Hello again!

There were only a couple of jobs left to do to finish my Lone Star mini quilt. So that it can be hung on the wall easily and lie flat against it, it needed a couple of pockets on the back to fit a baton in. I cut a couple of 4 1/2in squares on my Big Shot Plus, pressed them in half diagonally and basted them in the top two corners on the reverse of the quilt.

The binding was then sewn on and a baton cut to size and fitted into the back pockets.

And then all that was left was to hang it on the wall. It's finished size is approximately 27 1/2in square.

I love the 'rings' of diamonds that make up the star, it is such a striking shape and it really brightens up the room. I want to make a huge one now and cutting all of the diamonds out with my Big Shot will make it SO much easier!

Happy sewing, see you next time!

..............................................................********************...........................................................

 ¡Hola a todo el mundo! Después de dos meses y medio desde que os enseñé  los últimos bloques para mi "Inspiring me  Quilt", hoy vengo con nueve bloques más que he diseñado usando los troqueles de Sizzix. Si recuerdas bien, mi idea es llegar a los 100.

Así que ahí te los dejo , algunos de ellos  bordados con  hilo DMC.

Estoy segura que encontrarás inspiración e incluso te atreverás con alguno de ellos.

Algunos de los troqueles ya han sido usados antes para otros bloques pero intento siempre jugar con las telas y hacer nuevas combinaciones.

Todos miden 21.5 cm

Echa un vistazo a las fotos y pincha sobre los enlaces  que hay sobre cada uno de ellos si quieres saber más información sobre el troquel.

En la última foto puedes  más o menos ver todos los que llevo.

Si quieres ver los anteriores sólo tienes que pinchar aquí.

Espero que te hayan gustado y que tengas un estupendo fin de semana.

Nos vemos en quince días.

Cariños

Mercedes
