A little embroidery hoop in a frame and... lot of love!

Hi Sizzix friends!

Today I want to show you a special home decoration I have created for a good friend. I have used the Heartfelt die and as a  principal focus: a little embroidery hoop!!!

I love to mix fabric and paper on my projects; in this case I’ve used linen fabric and burlap that combine perfectly with the white of the frame and the cardstock used as the background. All together give a smart result!!

Here are more details pictures:

The embroidery hoop includes the big heart of the dies that I’ve also embossed using the Botany decoration embossing folder. For the message I’ve die-cut the label included in the Floral wreath die set.

I’ve added some adhesive foam pads to emphasize the message

For the background I’ve used a white cardstock and die-cut lot of hearts in two different sizes to combine them to create the background decoration in a false embossment. Each heart is die-cut in two pieces to give more volume.

I’m very happy with the result of this home decoration and the best is that my friend liked it too!!!

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)
• 660256 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 23PK - Floral Wreath
• 660233 Sizzix Bigz Die - Heartfelt
• 660448 Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - Botany Decoration

I hope you have enjoyed this home decoration.  Thanks for your visit!

Have a creative and happy Friday!

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy quiero enseñaros una decoración especial que realicé para una buena amiga. He utilizado el troquel Heartfelt y como foco principal: un mini bastidor!!!

Me encanta mezclar tela y papeles en mis proyectos; en este caso he utilizado tela de lino y arpillera que combinan perfectamente con el blanco del marco y la cartulina que utilizada para el fondo. Todo ello proporciona un resultado elegante!!!

Foto de los detalles:

El bastidor incluye el corazón grande del troquel, que también he texturizado con al carpetilla Botany decoration. Para el mensaje he troquelado la etiqueta incluída en el kit de troqueles Floral wreath.

He añadido adhesivo 3D para realzar el mensaje.

Para el fondo he utilizado cartulina blanca texturizada y he troquelado muchos corazones en dos medidas diferentes para combinarlos y crear la decoración del fondo simulando un falso repujado. Cada corazón está troquelado en dos piezas para darle más volumen.

La verdad es que estoy muy contenta con el resultado y  lo mejor es que a mi amiga también le gustó!!!

He utilizado los siguientes productos de Sizzix: 

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)

Watercolour hello card

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

This week has started a new month, light changes, colours change too … So today I wanted to show you a cute card I’ve created inspired on September, that includes a step by step to create this watercolour background. 

I’ve used the embossing folder botany decoration for the background and to achive the watercolour effect I’ve used my distress ink. I’ve also used the floral wreath, the layering frames and the hello word dies to create this cute card. 

Here are the steps for the background:

Ink the embossing folder with distress ink.

Spray with water all the surface.

Make the sandwich using a watercolour paper.

This is the beautiful result of this process !!!

Now is time to die-cut all the pieces:

The magnetic platform is a good choice to use with the thinlits!!!

 I’ve also used the brush to remove the die-cuts.

And here are more detailed images of the card:

These leaves are beautiful !!!

¡Hola a todos!

Esta semana hemos estrenado un nuevo mes, donde la luz cambia, los colores también... Así que hoy os quería enseñar la tarjeta que realizado inspirada en septiembre que incluye un pequeño paso a paso de cómo he creado este fondo efecto acuarela. 

Para el fondo he utilizado esta preciosa carpeta de repujado botany decoration y para conseguir el efecto acuarela he usado la tinta distress. Tambié he utilizado los troqueles floral wreath, el layering frames y el hello word para acabar de dar forma a esta tarjeta. 

Estos son los pasos para el fondo:

Entintar el interior de la carpetilla con la tinta distress como se indica en el foto.

Tirar agua con un vaporizador

Hacer el sandwich con un papel de acuarela o de alto gramaje.

El precioso recultado lo podéis apreciar en las fotos superiores.

Y ahora llega el turno a los troquelados, para ello he utilizado la base magnética que me va genial para los troqueles metálicos !!! Me he ayudado del cepillo para retirar las piezas más intricadas. 

Estas hojas me parecen preciosas!!!

Una vez tengo todo troquelado y cortado llega el momento de montar la tarjeta, he ido haciendo capas, en una de ellas he utilizado tela. 

He utilizado los siguientes productos de Sizzix:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)

Thank You

Hello there,
sometimes I would like to say 'thank you' and I think a wonderful way to do this, is to sending a card.

The word 'Thanks' I've done with the watercolor technique.

Various stamp pads pressed on an acrylic block, sprayed with water and pressed the acrylic block on Watercolorpaper. Beautiful gradients arising therefrom and then I have punched he word 'Thanks'.

Inside the card I used colorful pink vellum.

The Backround ist made with my Big Shot and the Embossingfolder - Botany Decoration.

The wonderful butterflies are from Tim Holtz, SIZZIX BigZ Die - Butterfly Duo.

I hope you enjoy and wish you a lovely weekend!

Annika
