Easy Felt Flower

 Hi friends!

Today we will make a very easy  felt flower using circles cut with our Big Shot. Using larger or smaller circles we can make flowers of different sizes for all types of uses.

You need:

• your Big Shot
• Sizzix Bigz Die - Circles
• Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Leaves
• felt
• hot glue gun

1. Cut six circles. 
2. Bend 5 circles and 4 parts, glue the union for that not to be open. 
3. We get 5 quarter circle. 
4. Paste on the sixth circle 4 quarters, and the fifth in the space created above. 
5. Cut leaves. Paste one or more leaves below the flower. 

What do you think? Easy right? Until next week with a new tutorial!

Stick Binding Autumn Leaves

Hi there,

today I want to show you my last workshop project from this week in a studio for people with and without handicaps. 

It is a great studio project where people are mutually supportive.

I started this week with a Stick Binding workshop. I thought it ist a great idea because the natural materials fit perfectly to this season.

I chose strong watercolor cardboard for the book cover and walnut paper, sisal, felt, handmade paper,  yarn, some wooden sticks and some charms for decoration. 

I have presented the big shot to the participants and we had cut out with the gorgeous fall foliage by Tim Holtz the different materials like thin wood, handmade papers and also felt.

Items I used:

SIZZIX Big Shot Plus

SIZZIX BigZ Die - Tattered Leaves by Tim Holtz

SIZZIX Thinlits 4 Dies - Holiday Greens

SIZZIX BigZ Die w/Folder - Layered Leaf by Tim Holtz #660039

SIZZIX BigZ Alphabeth  7 Dies - Serif Essentials

SIZZIX BigZ XL Alphabeth Die - Word Play

  It was a very simple bookbinding, so we had enough time to decorate the book.

I showed the watercolor technic with ink from inkpads on acrylblocks with water to the participants -

a quick and effective technique.

We also had time to create an autumn card.

We used again watercolor paper, corrugated paper, clear stamps and a piece of glitter paper.

I wish you a lovely weekend!

Annika

normally using leaves for Scrapbooking and cards is typical for fall themes.
But why not using them in spring... ??

Hallo Ihr Lieben,

normalerweise nimmt man Laubblätter beim Scrappen oder beim Kartenmachen
ja eher für herbstliche Geschichten.
Aber warum sollte man Blätter nicht auch mal außer der Reihe benutzen, z.B. im Frühling?

Alles was ihr für die perfekte Frühlingskarte benötigt ist natürlich die richtig (Wasser-)farbe.
und die hübschen Blätter aus dem Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Leaves Set....

Schnell und einfach und jede Menge Frühling, richtig?

Appliqueing Tattered Dies

Hi again, today I wanted to share a project in work I have been doing some time ago.It´s about applique again but this time using some of my favourites Tim Holtz dies,  bird and flowers and leaves.

Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Florals

Sizzix Bigz Die - Tattered Leaves

Sizzix Bigz Die - Caged Bird

My first idea was triying to use some different dies that are not especially for quilting and see how they work.

I must to say I loved what I got.

Here they are some pics.

Now I need to finish some quilting and sew all the pieces. Then , I will show you the finished project.

This is a project that I´m wishing to finish because I have been working on it a lot of time so I hope I you can see it soon.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Love

Mercedes

Hola de nuevo a todos, hoy quería compartir un proyecto  que he estado haciendo hace tiempo. Se trata de nuevo de hacer aplicaciones pero esta vez usando los troqueles de Tim Holtz, concretamente unos que son mis favoritos, flores, hojas y pajarito.

Mi primera idea era usar troqueles que no fueran específicamente para patchwork y ver cómo funcionaban.

El resultado me ha encantado y ahí podéis ver algunas fotos.

Ahora tengo que terminar de acolchar, coser y hacer el montaje y entonces te  enseñaré cómo queda acabado.

Estoy deseando acabarlo  porque he estado trabajando bastante tiempo en ello  asi que espero que pronto lo puedas ver. 

Que tengas un maravilloso fin de semana
Cariños

Decorating a gift box with Frameworks dies and Tattered Florals.



Hi Sizzix friends,

Nice to be back here for my Sunday post and hopefully to share some inspiration with you!

I had this empty box of Turkish Delights on my scrap table that I wanted to alter  in some way. 

I like the hexagonal shape and I had a lot of fun adding decorations to it. 

Without further ado here are some pictures of how the box turned out:

I started by decorating the lid. Firstly I cut out the dark paper for the top and then a strip of the damask pattern to go along the edge . For the top I also cut three pieces of the Frameworks Trellies die and glued them down to form a pretty pattern..

I made a large flower using the Tattered Florals die . I also made two paper rosettes using the Mini Rosettes strip die . I layered these together with some other cute embellishments on top of the lid.

 For the edge of the lid I cut a piece of sequin ribbon and glued it down.

The only thing remaining is to cut a nice wide strip of patterned paper to cover the rest of the box
and finally glue a piece of backing paper to the bottom to make it look nice.

Hej hej alla vänner av Sizzix!

Jag är glad att vara tillbake här för att förhoppningsvis dela med mig av lite inspiration!!   

Jag har haft en top låda på mitt scrapbord ett tag för att altra.
Jag gillar den sexkantiga formen och hade kul medan jag dekorerade den med blommor etc.

Utan mera snack så har ni här en bild på hur den blev:


Jag började med att dekorera locket. Jag skar ut en bit att täcka toppen och sedan en annan bit att gå runtom kanten. För toppen skar jag även ut Frameworks die, Trellies och placerade dom på ett täckande sätt.

Jag gjorde en stor blomma med Tattered florals die och två pappers rosetter med Mini Paper Rosette strip die. Tillsammans med några andra söta dekorationer får dessa nu pryda locket.


Jag klippte ut en lagom längd av paljettband för att täcka skarven mellan toppen och sidan av locket.

Det enda som fattas nu är att skära ut en fin bred bit för att täcka resten av lådan och slutligen en sexkantig bit att limma på undersidan av lådan för att få en snygg avslutning.
