Travel Journal using Big Shot Plus Starter Kit


Happy Friday everyone, It's Anna here with you. Today I have a Mini Album to show you, which I created using the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit. To keep a record of my travel I created this quick and simple travel journal.

The New Big Shot Plus offers huge opportunities to make full use of the A4 size. I'm not gonna take advantage of that? ;)
I made the cover of this mini album with just an A4 paper. Let me show you how created this...

To begin, take a rectangle of scrapbook paper, slightly larger of A4. To cut the title for the album, choose letters from the Alphanumeric Sizzix Thinlits die set. I used the removable tape to hold my letters into place before cut out. Pass the sandwich through the Big Shot Plus Machine.
After you have cut your cover page, trim a patterned paper into strip to place on first inside page, the backside of your title.
Take some page A4 of cardstock and notebook sheet. Make as many pages as you’d like. Fold the papers in half to make inside pages. Line up the pages with the cover. Use a punch hole to make two holes in the center. Take the twine to tie it all together.
Use some dies included on Starter Kit for main embellishment of cover and inside pages. Attach the second title to the cover to finish.

This was a really quick and easy way to make a lovely mini album. I love the effect of die-cut title! It creates a nice contrast with the floral paper. It add so much interest to the cover.

Per le amiche italiane! :)

Buon Venerdì a tutti, sono Anna ed oggi sono qui per condividere un mini album, che ho creato con il Big Shot Plus Starter Kit.
Come saprete, la nuova Big Shot Plus offre l'opportunità di lavorare con il formato A4. Potevo forse non approfittare di questa grandiosa novità messa in campo da Sizzix? ;)
Ho deciso così di creare la copertina del mini album con un foglio A4. Lasciate che vi spieghi come ho fatto...

Per cominciare, prendere un foglio di carta da scrapbooking e tagliarlo leggermente più grande di un A4 (ovvero grande quanto i pad della Big Shot Plus). Per tagliare il titolo dell'album, scegliere le lettere dal set di fustelle Thinlits Alphanumeric. Ho usato del nastro rimovibile per tenere ferme le mie lettere, prima di tagliare. Passare il sandwich nella Big Shot Plus Machine.
Dopo aver fustellato la copertina, tagliare una striscia di carta a fiori da mettere sulla prima pagina interna, in corrispondenza della parte posteriore del vostro titolo.
Prendete un po' di fogli A4 di cartoncino e di block notes per fare il numero di pagine interne che si desidera creare. Piegare tutti I fogli a metà. Sovrapporre le pagine con la copertina. Fare due fori al centro e rilegare con lo spago.
Utilizzare le fustelle incluse nello Starter Kit per l'abbellimento principale della copertina (ramoscello, foglie) e per le pagine interne (farfalla ecc.). Posizionare il secondo titolo adesivo sulla copertina ed aggiungere altri dettagli a piacere.

Come vedete, questo è stato un modo molto semplice e veloce per fare un mini album. Devo dire che mi piace molto l'effetto del titolo “traforato”! E si crea un piacevole contrasto con la carta a fiorellini.

Grazie essere passati di qui! Spero di avervi ispirato a creare un mini album con fogli A4 ;)
Fatemi sapere se avete domande. Ciaooo!
 
Materiali:
carte scrap
cartoncini
pagine di block notes

"A Smile for Mom" by Gerry van Gent


Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!

Maybe you have already guessed (by the title!) that my
blog post today is dedicated to my mom. Living far away from
my mom is not only hard for me but also hard for my mom.
That's why I love sending her photos - and of course, some of
the photos are scrapped like this one today.
Perfect present for Mother's Day!
I chose my favourite "scrap" canvas which is A4 size and
perfectly matching the Sizzix Big Shot Plus machine.

A Smile for Mom_gerry

My very first step was to emboss the background paper.
I used the A4 Embossing Folder included in the Starter Kit.

The die-cut letter "a" was adhered underneath an epoxy sticker.

I die cut a few times both of these Decorative Bubbles 
using different papers. Then I began mixing them and 
creating embellishments for my photo.

The big flower was created by using both sizes Bigz Die flowers included 
in the Starter Kit - I die cut them so many times until the flower looked "full".
For the centre I hand made the rose by using one of the old dies (558504 Rose 3D)
I added a bit of Stickles.
