Welcome Sizzix Friends!!
Today a simple project with Sizzix Big Shot!!

I like it very much, they always know how to create an atmosphere in our homes!!

I used:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit 660515

Scissors
Glues
Colored cardstocks

Take a cardstock and die cut four homes for each die of Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Home Sweet Home 660800. You will have eight homes. 

With cardstock of a different color, die cut a box with thinlits included in Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit 660515. On the sides of the box die cut only the windows of homes. Then pasting houses on sides of the box.

Assemble the box pasting the flaps. This will be the risult.

Hello there,
first of all I would like to say that I am a proud owner of the new wonderful SIZZIX Big Shot Plus now. Thanks a lot for it!!
I am really happy about this machine, it is an amazing help with my bookbindings, because I am no longer limited to 15cm paper size. The new 'Plus' is simply awesome!

Today I would like to show you an album for the little girlfriend of my youngest son.

He is invited to her birthday party on next Saturday. Suitable to a wallet for pencils I bought, she will get this personalized album for her paintings.

First I cut out her name from thick paperboard, to get really striking letters. I covered the letters with the same fabric of the albumcover. Grey fabric with white dots.... I love it :)
For the letters I used one of my favorite products of SIZZIX: Fresh Blossoms Alphabet #659963
This alphabet has a brilliant font style!

Afterwords, I used the SIZZIX Thinlits Die-Set 'Home sweet home' #660800 and pressed it into the same Paperboard. Of course, the Thinlits are too thin to use with a thick cardboard! But I cut out each image twice and helped a little by using a cutter. It worked easily! 

I wanted to have the houses in the same or even better thickness as the letters. Two houses will be merged to one single house. 

I also covered the houses with nice paper suitable for a nearly 5 years old girl.

 After this I built the file album also with strong paperboard, fabric and a ring binder mechanism.

I hope she will like it .... and you too :)

Have a lovely weekend!

Houses on a hill card

Hi Sizzix friends!

Today I want to show you an easy colourful card with a nice message. I have used the Home sweet home dies designed by Craft Asylum for Sizzix and two more dies designed by Paula Pascual for Sizzix.

To make this beautiful card I have used the following supplies:

My Big Shot machine, Home sweet home, Oval and Winter Borders dies, white cardstock,

 kraft paper, some scrapbooking papers, lace ribbon, sparkly paper and watercolours.

First I have cut the cardstock 5 mm smaller than the kraft paper (the base of the card). Then 

I have coloured the cardstock using blue watercolours like the sky. 

Then I have die-cut the different sized houses and I have chosen the dark pink 

for the windows and roofs.

As I want the houses to be on a hill I have decided to use a half of an oval die as the hill, die-cut 

in a green flowered paper. (The magnet platform is very useful with this kind of dies) 

Then I have all the die-cuts to create the card.

In the end I have decided to stamp this message “Que las estrellas iluminen tu camino” that in English would be similar to: “May the stars show you the way”.  I have added little stars that I have die-cut in sparkly white paper to highlight the message. 

And finally this is the result:

Here are some details:

It's really fun to play with this dies !!!

Here is the hill !!!

Small stars on the sky !!!

I have used the following Sizzix products: 

• 658300 Sizzix Big Shot Machine 
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
• 660800 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Home Sweet Home (New)
• 659978 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette
• 659968 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 11PK - Oval Cards

I hope you have enjoyed this colourful and beautiful card. Thanks for your visit!

¡Hola a todos!

Hoy os quería enseñar una tarjeta muy alegre con un bonito mensaje. Para realizarla he utilizado el troquel Home sweet home diseñado por Craft Asylum para Sizzix así como dos troqueles más diseñados por Paula Pascual. 

Os dejo con un sencillo paso a paso de cómo la he realizado: 

Los materiales son: mi Big Shot machine, el troquel Home sweet home, el Oval y el Winter Borders, cartulina blanca texturizada, papel kraft, retales de papel de scrapbooking, puntilla, papel purpurina y las acuarelas.

Primero he cortado la cartulina blanca 5 mm más pequeña que el papel kraft (base de la tarjeta). Una vez cortada  le he dado pinceladas en tonos azules para simular el cielo.

Después he troquelado las diferentes casas utilizando un tono rosa oscuro para ventanas y tejados. 

Como quería que las casas estuvieran en una pequeña colina, he utilizado el troquel de óvalo utilizando la mitad. La base magnética es muy práctica con estos troqueles.

Ahora ya lo tengo todo preparado para montar la tarjeta.

Al final decidí estampar este bonito mensaje y para reforzarlo troquelé unas mini estrellas en papel purpurina. Y así ha quedado:

Los detalles:  las casas (es muy divertido jugar con estos troqueles), la colina y las mini estrellas!!!

He utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:  

• 658300 Sizzix Big Shot Machine 
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
• 660800 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 6PK - Home Sweet Home (New)
• 659978 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette
• 659968 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 11PK - Oval Cards

Espero que os haya gustado esta alegre tarjeta. ¡Gracias por la visita!

¡Feliz y creativo viernes!

Thinlits Organizer

By the time I collected a lot of Sizzix Thinlits Dies and I wanted to have an Organizer who fits perfectly for the small die-pockets.

So I build a box from Paperboard and decorated it with the 

SIZZIX Thinlits Die Set - Home Sweet Home.

You need strong paperboard and glue for bookbinding.

I glued the Paperboard with handmade paper and chose grey and white coloured cardstock for the decoration, suitable to my working place.

I used my Big Shot to cut out a lot of these small houses, mixed it and sticked it on the Organizerbox.

They are really nice! 

Have a lovely weekend!
