Rainbow smile

 

 

We have had a few days where it almost seemed like spring and maybe that was what made me want to create a bright and happy card.

 

I chose to combine Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards with the rainbow and sun from Thinlits Die Set 7PK - You & Me to build my little scene.

You cannot have a rainbow without rain so I made a shaker bag behind the rainbow scene. Here I added blue sequins as well as silver glitter. I double stitched along the edges of the vellum but some glitter will still escape... Just think of that when you chose who to send a card like this to.

Måske blev jeg inspireret af de par forårslignende dage vi har haft over de seneste uger, da jeg besluttede mig for at lave et friskt regnbuekort.

Jeg valgte at kombinere Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards og Thinlits Die Set 7PK - You & Me til at bygge min scene op med.

Man kan jo ikke have en regnbue uden at have regn, så jeg lavede en shaker-pose bag motivet. Heri fyldte jeg glimmer og blå pailetter. Selvom jeg syede to gange rundt lang vellummets kant, så slipper der stadig lidt glimmer ud. Det skal man lige tænke over, når man vælger, hvem man sender kortet til.

Jams for Christmas

This 4th and last week of the Christmas Challenge 2014 brings you different ideas for homemade Christmas presents. I love giving and receiving homemade goods and this year I've made quite a lot of different jams and I think they make for great little presents.

While the main attraction of course is the jam itself, it never hurts to dress things up a little. First of all I used the largest scallopped square from Framelits Die Set 6PK - Squares, Scallop to cut out the fabric that covers the top of each jar. Then I used a die from Thinlits Die Set 12PK - Ornate Labels to create tags for each jam jar. On these I've stamped the name of the jams and as a final little touch I've added a heart made using my favorite heart die from Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards.

I decided that it would be a nice idea to not only have the jam be the present but also the recipe for making more of each jam. This led me to writing up and printing each of the recipes and then diecutting them using a die from Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards. Once again I stamped the names of the jams and decorated the recipe cards with red hearts.

Denne fjerde og sidste uge af Christmas Challenge 2014 byder på hjemmelavede julegaver. Jeg holder af at give og modtage hjemmelavede gaver, og da jeg i år har syltet ganske meget, har jeg også givet en del syltetøj væk som gaver.

Selvom syltetøjet naturligvis er den primære gave, så sker der bestemt ikke noget ved at gøre lidt ud af indpakningen. Jeg startede med at bruge den største die fra Framelits Die Set 6PK - Squares, Scallop til at udstanse det stof, der dækker toppen af hvert af glassene. Derefter lavede jeg tags til glassene med en die fra Thinlits Die Set 12PK - Ornate Labels. På disse tags stemplede jeg navnene på syltetøjerne, og så brugte jeg min favorit die fra Thinlits Die Set 10PK - Phrase Cards til at udstanse små hjerter som dekoration.

Jeg syntes, at det ville være hyggeligt at give modtageren muligheden for selv at lave mere syltetøj, så jeg besluttede at give opskriften med også. Jeg printede hver opskrift, og derefter brugte jeg en die fra Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards til at udstanse dem. Igen stemplede jeg navnene og dekorerede med små røde hjerter.

Glittered snowflkes and lovely ornaments



Hello Sizzix UK fans! Today I have for you 2 small Christmas inspirations. It would seem that now is even so far to Christmas, but usually we (crafters!) create Christmas cards much earlier. My today's cards are mine first Christmas cards this year!

To create a custom shape cards I used dies from Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards set. Due to the fact that the set contains many different sizes and shapes of dies, we can create an interesting card base in various sizes and create layers on our cards or pages.

The main decoration on my cards are a large snowflakes, which I cut out using Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3. I love dies in this line, because we can cut out in thicker materials and shapes are always very impressive, both in terms of size and design. I painted my snowflakes using mint acrylic paint and then I added some glitter powder on the top.

Tremendously love the dies in Christmas ornaments and baubles shapes. To add more Christmas touches on my cards, I cut out a couple of beautiuful ornaments using new Triplits Die Set 9PK - Ornaments. Each of the small ornaments can be further embellish or you can cut them with a variety of interesting materials. I added small dots made using 3D paint on these lovely elements.

Witajcie! Dziś mam dla Was świąteczne inspiracje. Wydawałoby się, że jeszcze daleko do Świąt, ale zwykle tworzenie kartek świątecznych zaczynamy dużo wcześniej. Moje dzisiejsze kartki to moje pierwsze karteczki świąteczne w tym roku! 

 Do stworzenia nietypowego kształtu kartek wykorzystałam wykrojniki z zestawu: Framelits Die Set 12PK - Fancy Cards. Dzięki temu, że zestaw zawiera wiele różnych rozmiarów w kilku kształtach, możemy tworzyć ciekawe bazy kartek w różnych rozmiarach oraz tworzyć warstwy na naszych kartkach. 

Głównymi ozdobami na moich kartkach są duże śnieżynki wycięti wykrojnikiem Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3. Uwielbiam wykrojniki z tej serii, ponieważ możemy wycinać nimi w grubszych materiałach a wzory są naprawdę imponujące, zarówno pod względem rozmiaru jak i designu. Moje śnieżynki pomalowałam miętową farbką oraz dodałam trochę sypkiego brokatu na wierzch. 

Ogromnie podobają mi się wykrojniki z motywem świątecznych bombek i ozdób na choinkę. Aby dodać więcej świątecznych akcentów, dodałam do kartek kilka tego typu ozdób wyciętych wykrojnikami z zestawu Triplits Die Set 9PK - Ornaments. Każdą z małych bombek można dodatkowo ozdobić lub wyciąć je z różnych ciekawych materiałów. Ja ozdobiłam te urocze elementy dodając trochę kropeczek z farbek 3D.

A czy Wy tworzycie już kartki świąteczne? Jeśli tak, nie zapomnijcie użyć kilku wspaniałych, nowych wykrojników Sizzix!
