50th wedding anniversary card



Hi Sizzix friends!!!

Some days ago a couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It’s an important milestone in their lives that they wanted to celebrate so I created a greeting card with an inside pocket for the present.



I’ve played with white and gold colour because in my country this anniversary is called “the gold wedding” and of course with lots of Sizzix dies !!!


It’s a big card sized 13,5 x 19,5 cm. To create it I’ve used the round circles Framelits, the leaves 660821 and 660822, Heartfelt and the Alphanumeric Thinlits. For the background I’ve used the embossing folder Plus Happy Texture.


Some pictures of the details with some explanations:


First I’ve die-cut the circle on the background white cardstock (that is 5mm smaller than the card size) creating a round hole on the cardstock and then I’ve made the embossment.  



Then I’ve die-cut the round sparkly frame using two sizes of circle dies. The flowery paper is between the card and the white embossed cardstock. 


I’ve die-cut two hearts in white cardstock and then I’ve repeated the same process that I’ve used for the frame to create the rings.


I’ve also die-cut a pair of leaves in white cardstock to give volume.


When you open the card there is a pocket that contains an envelope. To decorate the pocket I’ve die-cut the names of the couple in sparkly paper using the alphanumeric die.

Here are the envelope details:


I’ve die-cut this white heart and made the embossment so I can use it as the closure of the envelope.


I’ve created this envelope using vellum paper. 



Here is the top view of the wedding card I’ve created for the celebration: 




I have used the following Sizzix products:


Other supplies:
  • White cardstock
  • Scrapbooking paper
  • Sparkly paper
  • Vellum paper
  • Gold chipboard numbers
  • Gold string


I hope you have enjoyed this clean and simple wedding anniversary card and that it has given you a bit of inspiration. Thank you for your visit!



Have a creative and happy Friday!

Hola a todos!
Hace unos días una pareja celebraba sus 50 años de casados. Es una fecha muy importante para ellos y querían celebrarlo, así que preparé una tarjeta para felicitarlos con un bolsillo interior donde añadir el regalo.

He jugado con el blanco y el dorado pues se trata de las "Bodas de oro" y, por supuesto, con varios troqueles de Sizzix!!!

Se trata de una tarjeta de 13,5 x 19,5 cm. Para realizarla he utilizado los círculos de  Framelits, las hojas 660821 y 660822, Heartfelt y el Alphanumeric Thinlits. Para el fondo he utilizado la carpeta de embossing Plus Happy Texture.

Algunas imágenes de los detalles y sus explicaciones:
Primero he troquelado un círculo en la cartulina blanca de fondo (que es 5mm más pequeña que la tarjeta) creando un agujero en la cartulina y entonces he realizado el embossing.

Después he troquelado un marco circular papel purpurina utilizando dos medidas de troqueles de círculo. El papel de flores está entre la tarjeta y la cartulina con embossing.
He troquelado dos corazones en cartulina blanca y he repetido el mismo proceso que en el marco anterior para crear los anillos.
He troquelado un par de hojas en cartulina blanca para darle volumen.
Cuando abrimos la tarjeta está el bolsillo que contiene un sobre. Para decorar el bolsillo he troquelado los nombres de la pareja en cartulina de purpurina usando el troquel alphanumeric.
Aquí os muestro algunos detalles del sobre:
He troquelado el corazón en blanco y le he realizado el embossing. Utilizando este elemento como cierre del sobre.
He creado el sobre utilizando papel vegetal.

Y aquí una vista superior de la tarjeta que he creado para esta celebración: 



He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:


Otros materiales:
  • White cardstock
  • Scrapbooking paper
  • Sparkly paper
  • Vellum paper
  • Gold chipboard numbers
  • Gold string

Espero que os haya gustado esta tarjeta "clean and simple y que os sirva de inspiración. ¡Gracias por la visita!

Feliz y creativo viernes

Embellish a linen bag with a tag




Hello Sizzix Friends,
another sunday is here!
I love wrapping gifts up using linen bags.
They are so useful and I love decorating them in every way.
Today I want to show you how embellish them with a cardboard tag.






You need:
Linen bag
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) (660020)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts (657561)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Kraft Cardboard
Cardstock
Scissors
Tape
Hole punch
Crop-a-dile

My tips:
 
- Realize two hole in the tag instead of one.
In this way you will be able to close the linen bag with a cotton ribbon while fixing the tag on the bag. 
 
- Create several tags with different wishes (love, laught, live, dream...)
Wrap some presents up using the tags and you guest will choose the package with its favourite wish.


Enjoy your sunday!
Silvia

Buon pomeriggio a tutti!
Adoro confezionare piccoli sacchetti di stoffa e ancora di più renderli personali decorandoli ogni volta in modo diverso.
Oggi vi mostro come ho abbellito l'ultima volta un sacchetto regalo.
Il tutorial è estremamente facile.
 
Ho usato:
Sacchettino di stoffa
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray) (660020)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK - Hearts (657561)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Cartoncini
Nastro
Perforatrice
Crop-a-dile
 
I miei suggerimenti:
 
- Create nella tag di cartoncino due fori anziché uno.
In questo modo riuscirete a chiudere il sacchetto con il nastro di cotone e contemporaneamente ad applicare la tag.
 
- Create diverse tag con diverse scritte e confezionate tanti diversi sacchettini per i vostri ospiti.
Ognuno sceglierà il proprio in base all'augurio che preferisce (sorridi, sogna, ama, auguri, vivi, ecc..)
 
 
 
 

 
 
A domenica prossima!
Silvia

Hello Sizzix Friends!
Last week was my Daddy's birthday and I chose to make a birthday card for him.

You need:
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles, Scallop (657552)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles (657551)
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) (660515)
Sample cardstock (light blue and white pattern) conteined in the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit
Banner Die conteined in the Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 23PK - Floral Wreath (660256)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Mini card with a mini envelope
Double-sided tape
Scissors
Cardstocks (light blue and white)

Die cut all the paper decorations using different cardstocks and paste them on the mini card using small pieces of double-sided tape.
Die cut the letters and paste them on the back of the envelope with double-sided tape.
With Sizzix Big Shot you are able to get a lovely customized card in only few minutes.

I realized a very easy card but my dad was very impressed.

Now he knows! ^^




 
Happy sunday to you all!
Silvia

Buongiorno amici!
La scorsa settimana mio papà ha compiuto gli anni e ho deciso di realizzare un biglietto d'auguri per lui.
Ho scaricato i cerchi Happy Birthday che Sizzix Uk ha messo a disposizioni in free download e stampati su cartoncino bianco (190 g).
Li potete trovare nella sezione: free floral papers by Sizzix.

 
 


Ho usato:
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles, Scallop (657552)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles (657551)
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) (660515)
Cartoncino a fantasia bianca e azzurra contenuto nel Big Shot Plus Starter Kit
Fustella a banner contenuta nel Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 23PK - Floral Wreath (660256)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Mini biglietto con mini busta in carta
Nastro biadesivo
Forbici
Cartoncini (azzurro e bianco)

Fustellare tutte le decorazioni di carta utilizzando i diversi cartoncini e incollarli sul mini biglietto con piccoli pezzi di nastro biadesivo.
Fustellare le lettere e incollarle sul retro della busta con il nastro biadesivo. In questa fase serve un po' più di precisione essendo le lettere molto sottili.
Con la macchina Sizzix Big Shot otterrete in pochissimi minuti un biglietto personalizzato adorabile che solo il vostro papà/amico/fidanzato avrà.

Ho realizzato un biglietto veramente facile ma mio papà si è stupito molto.
Non legge mai il mio blog e non aveva idea dei lavori che realizzo con la Sizzix Big Shot Plus..fino ad oggi! ^^

Buona domenica!
Silvia

Thanks Mum box & card











Hello Sizzix friends!
Mother's day is just around the corner and this year I decided to make a cute paper gift for our mum.




 

You need:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) (660515) new!
Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Box & Card (660281)

Cardstock (Pink, white, hot yellow, gold glitter, pale green)
Double-sided tape (thin)
Glue
Scissors
Paper Tape

First of all place the pink cardstock into the polka dots texture folder (you can find it in the Sizzix Plus Starter Kit) and emboss it.
Die cut the box using the embossed pink cadstock and the Bigz XL Die Box designed by Stephanie Ackerman, so pretty!
Arrange the box using a double-sided thin tape.

Die cut  two banners using a white cardstock and the banner die conteined in the Floral Wreath Set.
Die cut three branches using a green pale cadstock and the branch die contained in the Floral Wreath Set.
Die cut the floral frame, conteined in the Sizzix Plus Starter Kit, using the hot yellow cardstock.
Die cut a big flower, conteined in the Sizzix Plus Starter Kit, using the gold glitter cadstock and the yellow cardstock.
Die cut M and MUM letters from the Alphanumeric Set using the gold glitter cardstock and the yellow cardstock.
Cut the floral yellow frame with the scissors and paste it on the box using a double-sided thin tape.

Die cut the card (present in the Stephanie's Die ) using the embossed pink cardstock first, and the hot yellow then to obtain two cards.
Die cut the yellow card using the letters THANKS from the Alphanumeric Set.

TIP: If you haven't a Magnetic Platform you can use a paper tape to keep the letters dies in position.

Paste the yellow card on the pink embossed card using the glue or the double-sided tape.

Paste all the paper decorations on the box and on the card using a glue stick.




 

 
Simple and pretty,
perfect to say thank you to someone!

Buongiorno amici di Sizzix!
La festa della mamma è vicina e quest'anno ho deciso di realizzare un piccolo regalo di carta per dire grazie alla nostra.

 
Ho usato:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) (660515) new!
Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Box & Card (660281)

Cartoncini(rosa, bianco, giallo fluo, oro glitterato, verde)
Nastro biadesivo
Colla stick
Forbici
Nastro di carta

Prima di tutto inserite il cartoncino rosa nella cartella a trama a pois (la trovate direttamente nello Starter Kit della Macchina Sizzix Plus) ed effettuate la goffratura.
Fustellate il cartoncino goffrato con la fustella Big XL disegnata da Stephanie Ackerman per realizzare una scatola.
Componete la scatola con il nastro biadesivo sottile.

Fustellate due banner utilizzando il cartoncino bianco e la fustella banner contenuta nel Floral Wreath Set.
Fustellate tre piccoli rami di foglie utilizzando il cartoncino verde e la fustella ramo presente nel Floral Wreath Set.
Fustellate la cornice fiorata, contenuta nel Sizzix Plus Starter Kit, usando un cartoncino giallo fluo.
Fustellate il grande fiore, contenuto nel Sizzix Plus Starter Kit, utilizzando il cartoncino glitterato oro e il cartoncino giallo.
Fustellate la lettera M e le lettere necessarie per comporre la parola MUM usando le fustelle presenti nell'Alphanumeric Set e i cartoncini (glitterato oro e giallo)
Tagliate la cornice floreale precedentemente fustellata fino ad ottenere un quadrato e incollatelo sulla scatola con le nastro biadesivo.

Fustellate, sempre con la fustella di Stephanie Ackerman, anche il biglietto, da inserire all'interno della scatolina.
Usate il cartoncino goffrato rosa e il cartoncino giallo per ottenere due biglietti (fustellateli uno per volta).

Prendete il biglietto giallo e fustellate la scritta THANKS, usando le fustelle dell'Alphanumeric Set.
CONSIGLIO: Se non avete la Piattaforma magnetica utilizzate del nastro di carta per mantenere in posizione le lettere da fustellare.

Incollate il biglietto giallo sul biglietto goffrato rosa usando del nastro biadesivo o della colla stick.

Incollate tutte le decorazioni di carta sulla scatola e sul biglietto usando la colla.
 
 
Semplice e carino!
Perfetto per dire grazie a qualcuno.
Buona domenica!

Happy Easter greetings card







 
 
Hello Sizzix Friends!
Happy Easter everybody!
Last day I made a greetings card for a friend of mine.
I used some Sizzix dies so I decide to take some pics for you.
My friend was very gratuful and I hope you will like this card too.
 





You need:
Cardstock (pink, white, glitter)
Wrapping paper (flower, polka dots)
Washitape
Glue
Scissors
Stickers
 
 
To realize a perfect Easter egg shape I used a die from Speech Bubbles Die Set.
You have only to cut a small piece of this bubble to get an egg.
 
 
 
 
Did you make a easter greetings card?
Which colours did you choose?
I chose pastel colours using washitapes and wrapping paper ^^
Let me know!
Have a wonderful day!

Buongiorno amiche del blog Sizzix e buona Pasqua!
L'altro giorno ho realizzato un biglietto d'auguri per una mia amica.
Avendo usato diverse fustelle Sizzix ho deciso di scattare qualche foto per voi.
La mia amica è stata molto contenta e spero che anche a voi piaccia questo piccolo biglietto d'auguri.
 
 
 
Ho usato:
Washitape
Colla
Forbici
Adesivi

Per realizzare la sagoma dell'uovo ho usato una delle fustelle presenti nel kit Speech Bubbles.
Vi basterà tagliare una semplice parte della sagoma per trasformare il fumetto in uovo. Facile!
 
 
 
Voi avete realizzato dei biglietti d'auguri pasquali?
Quali colori avete scelto?
Io ho optato per colori pastello utilizzando washitape e carte regalo colorate, sono sempre una garanzia!
Vi auguro una bellissima giornata!

Monogram favor









Hello Sizzix friends!
Today I'd like to share with you a party favor idea.
When we decide to arrange a party at home or outside it is always a good idea to make a small gift for our guests.
In Italy we love this kind of candies so much that I decided to suggest you a nice way to pack them by customizing the package.
You can choose the candies according to colours or flavours.

 
 
 
You need:
Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal) (657900)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Cardstocks (acid green, white)
Glitter silver cardstock
Plastic vial
Glue
Scissors
Lace ribbon
Baker's twine (grey-white)
Violet italian candies
 
Fill the vial with candies. 
Die cut the banners in two size (the biggest using the acid green cardstock, the small using a white cardstock).
Die cut the monogram letter using the glitter cardstock.
Die cut a small star (I used the smallest star from the Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Stars) using the acid green cardstock.
Paste the white small banner on the green big banner with the glue.
Cut the banners with a hole punch to get a tag.
Paste the monogram letter on the tag and paste the star on the plastic vial.
Place a piece of lace on the vial hole and made a knot.
Place the baker's twine on the vial hole, above the lace.
Make a knot, add the tag and make a bow.
Cut the baker's twine in excess and cut the lace.
 


 
 
This kind of favor is perfect for a party, to give your guests a little gift.
You can fill the vial with candies or with a message.
Thank you for reading.
See you next sunday!

Buongiorno!
Oggi voglio condividere con voi un'idea per realizzare un piccolo dono per i nostri ospiti.
Quando decidiamo di organizzare una festa in casa o fuori, è sempre bello fare un piccolo dono ai nostri ospiti.
In Italia amiamo così tanto queste caramelle che ho deciso di suggerirvi un modo carino per realizzare confezioni personalizzate.
Potete scegliere le caramelle in base al gusto e ai colori disponibili magari in coordinato con le decorazioni della festa.



Ho usato:
Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal) (657900)
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 102PK - Alphanumeric (1" Tall) (660210)
Cartoncini (verde acido e bianco)
Cartoncino glitterato argento
Fialetta in plastica
Colla
Forbici
Nastro in pizzo
Baker's twine (grigio e bianco)
Caramelle alla violetta
 
Riempire la provetta con le caramelle.
Fustellare le due misure di banner (la più grande usando il cartoncino verde, la piccola, usando il cartoncino bianco).
Fustellare la lettera per personalizzare la confezione utilizzando il cartoncino glitterato. 
Fustellare una piccola stella (io ho usato la più piccola disponibile dal Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Stars) usando il cartoncino verde.
Incollare tra loro i due banners con della colla.
Fustellare un foro nei banner ottendendo così una tag.
Incollare la lettera sulla tag e la stella sulla provetta di plastica.
Inserire un pezzo di nastro in pizzo nel foro del coperchio della provetta e fare un nodo.
Inserire lo spago nello stesso buco, proprio sopra al nodo del pizzo.
Fare un nodo, inserire la tag e fare un fiocco.
Tagliare l'eccesso di spago e rifinire il pizzo.
 
Potete usare questa idea di confezione per le vostre feste e decidere di riempirla con caramelle oppure con un messaggio. Che ne dite?
Grazie per la visita.
A domenica prossima!

Hello Tiger!



Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to teach workshops in the beautiful Slovenian city of Maribor. It is the second year that I have attended the Art Trade Creative Week event  and it was so good to meet old friends and make some new ones along the way. I would like to offer up a big thank you to Primoz and Mihaela for once again being the most generous and helpful hosts imaginable, I would also like to thank their incredible team who work tirelessly to bring it all together and I can't finish without a big thank you to everyone who attended the workshops and supported this wonderful event, I could type up a list of names at this point but the truth is I would hate to forget someone..... You know who you all are!!!

If you want to see a few of the photographs and find out more about this truly international event then click on this link, and if you fancy a city break next March combined with some top quality art and craft workshops then my destination of choice would be Maribor!

 I was teaching mixed media style projects at the event but at the end of each workshop I showed the class how to create a bunny from a set of Framelits Hearts after which I promised to blog the idea this week but..... I'm going to break that promise and post a new cuddly creature (the clue is in the title!!!) instead, however, if you want to see the bunny idea and many more like it, all you have to do is go to the top of the page and click on my picture before scrolling back to posts dated March 5th/February 26th 2014. 

 As I mentioned I'm going to use my Framelits Hearts and the New Thinlits Alphanumeric alphabet from Tim Holtz as well as a lovely little Thinlits set called Happiness Phrases.

 I'm using the 3 smallest hearts from the set and I have cut one large and three small orange hearts, one medium white heart and two small pink hearts. Good stiff card stock is  the best thing to use.

Next, I used the large heart die to cut the medium white heart in two pieces before attaching to the large orange heart. next I used a pair of scissors to snip a few pieces of black card into triangular lengths.

I attached six of the black pieces to the face as shown before adding one of the small pink hearts for the tigers nose using an adhesive foam pad. I then took two of the small orange hearts and made a couple of snips in each one as shown before attaching to the rear of the tigers head along with a couple of black pearl gems. For the finishing touch I attached the the last pink heart to its orange counterpart as shown before attaching to the rear of the tigers face with an adhesive foam pad to create a smiley mouth (he merely looks confused otherwise!)


 I took my 'Hello' die and the Thinlits letters to create the word 'TIGER' and placed them on grey and olive green card before die-cutting through my Big Shot.

Here's the finished card, as you can see I used the negative letters for the word 'TIGER' which was trimmed to size and attached using a brad and eyelet.

I hope you like it because I have a few more heart die ideas to share at some point in the future.
