"Captured Moments" Card by Gerry van Gent



Hello Sizzix friends!

It's Sunday and I am back with another project I created for you.
For today's post I prepared a card using a few Sizzix dies.

Captured Momentssiz
657900 Sizzix Big Shot Machine
658508 Sizzix Sizzlits Die Set Roses Flower Set
658221 Sizzix Originals Die Curly Gate
658551 Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die 
658711 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Ironwork Gate
*      *      *

Once I die cut the stems with leaves from the Roses Flower Set I used them to decorate 
the flower clusters. Before adhering them I used a white pen and drew round the edges.
N.B. The stem & leaves on the right side of the card were die cut twice and
adhered partially on top of each other.
1

From the Ironwork Gate I used only a bit as decoration.
2

The Curly Gate was die cut twice - once using white cardstock and 
second time using some corrugated cardboard.
I used the corrugated cardboard die-cut as a shadow.

I love so much how the Mini Filmstrip turned out - I call it the "dancing" Filmstrip :-)
I glued the filmstrip fristly only in the beginning and the end.
Then I partially  adhered parts of the filmstrip to give this "dancing" feeling.
As a final touch I added the buckle.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:
The Scrapbook Diaries Clear Stamps
KaiserCraft papers
Tim Holtz stencil
Prima Marketing flowers

Memories from Wrexham by Gerry


Hello Sizzix friends!

Today's project is about me :-)
I don't know about you but I often take selfies so I can share them online.
This photo is one of my favourite selfies and a special one because it was
taken in Wrexham when I visited for the first time Sizzix Europe headquarters.
And of course for my favourite photo I had to use my favourite Sizzix products!

As a base for my A4 layout I used the cardboard back of our old family agenda - 
yes, I never throw cardboard! You can use it in various ways.

Love how the Spring Greenery branches match 
the fussy cut branches from the pattern paper.

I used the small die-cut circles from the Tag & Bookplate to decorate
all over the layout - I simply die cut them in different colours and 
adhered them on my project.
2b

I cut two small ends of the Ironwork Gate and coloured them in black.
Then I glued them on top of the other ends - 
in this way I wanted to have more contrast and also
to match the rest of the "blacks" on the layout.
2c

I die cut the doily by using two different pattern papers.
One of the pattern papers I used for the doily itself and 
the circle where I stamped the quote.
From the black pattern paper I used only the circle for the layout.
I cut into two and used half underneath the other as a shadow.

Other Products I used:
Webster's Pages Pattern Paper
Stamps - Donna Downey, Pink Paisley, Prima Marketing
A fussy cut bird - Prima Marketing pattern paper

I hope you enjoyed my project today!

I used two of the pattern papers for my background.
Then I began decorating the card from top to bottom by
adding cut outs from Mother's Day Paper Downloads
and combining them with the beautiful dies.
The banner is originally a small one but to make it look
long I cut into two parts and added them to both sides of the heart.

The Conservatory Window and Holiday Lamppost were die cut twice:
a. Once, using pattern paper and b. And second time using black and white cardstock.
The cardstock dies were used as shadows for the pattern paper windows.

The swirls decorating above the window are actually part of the Ornate Hanging Sign.
I cut out a few ornaments which I used for the top part of the window
and for the Holiday Lamppost as well.
