Buon pomeriggio!

Oggi vorrei condividere con voi una nuova idea di confezionamento.

Ho deciso di utilizzare due colori perfetti per l'estate: giallo fluo e ottanio chiaro.

Li trovo bellissimi abbinati tra loro.

 

Iniziamo subito!

 

Ho usato:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) (660515)

Sizzix Movers & Shapers L Die - Pillow Box w/Labels (658268)

Sizzix Accessory - Premium Crease Pad, Extended (656159) (io ho la versione estesa ma quella di dimensioni Stardard va ugualmente bene!)

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Stars (657567)

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Happiness Phrases (66080)

Cartoncino giallo neon

Cartoncino ottanio glitterato

Nastro biadesivo

Forbici

Nastro a righe ottanio e bianco

Perforatrice

Adesivi alfabeto

 

Fustellare una stella del Sizzix Framelits Die Set 5PK - Stars usando un cartoncino giallo neon.

Fustellare la scatola a busta usando Sizzix Movers & Shapers L Die - Pillow Box w/Labels , Sizzix Accessory - Premium Crease Pad, Extended e usando lo stesso cartoncino usato in precedenza facendo attenzione alla posizione della stella.

Tagliare un pezzo di cartoncino glitterato ottanio e fissarlo sul retro del ritaglio stella usando del nastro biadesivo.

Componete la scatola usando del nastro biadesivo.

Realizzare due buchi sulla scatola usando la perforatrice posizionata sul foto più grande e infine chiudere la scatola.

Prendere un biglietto di cartoncino e fustellare la scritta Hello presente nel Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 3PK - Happiness Phrases.

Aggiungere alcuni adesivi fino a comporre la parola Summer.

Tagliare un pezzo di cartoncino giallo neon nella stessa dimensione del biglietto bianco e posizionarlo sul retro fissandolo con il nastro biadesivo.

Realizzare un foto sul biglietto con la perforatrice.

Aggiungere alla scatola un nastro a righe inserendolo nei 3 buchi (due sulla scatola e uno sul biglietto).

Fare un nodo e infine un fiocco.

Tagliare l'eccesso di nastro.

Cosa ne pensate?

Semplice ma carino, no?!
Buona domenica!

"BFF" Cards by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix Friends

I hope you all enjoy a sunny and relaxing Sunday!

Here, in the Netherlands, we are so lucky to have a good start

to the season - the sun is shining and it feels like a real Summer :-)

For my post today I would like to share two cards I created for my

daughter's best friends. On the last school day she wanted to give

them a small present with a card... and this is where I got involved ;-)

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit

NEW 660434 Sizzix Thinlits Die Spring Garden #3 by Craft Asylum

660473 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Decorative Trim #2 by Craft Asylum

660218 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Handwritten Love by Tim Holtz 

658554 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Alphabet Die Wanted  by Tim Holtz

*         *        *

Cards Size: 12cm x 12cm

I placed the Spring Garden #3 die in the middle of the front

of the card and die cut it. After that I removed the excess leftover

cuts and attached back the Spring Garden #3 die to the window card.

I adhered a square pattern paper inside the card.

I decorated the die-cut flowers with sugar dots.

I used one of the Decorative Trim #2 dies by Craft Asylum 

to make a frame round the square.

For the letters I used one of the alphabet dies from our Essentials Range -

The  Wanted   alphabet by Tim Holtz.

Each letter was die cut twice -  from light/dark brown cardstock.

The dark die-cut letter I used as shadow.

I gave a "painted" look by using a white pen.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Prima Marketing pattern paper; sugar dots

Gray cardstock - cards

Light/Dark brown cardstock - letters

Have a creative Sunday!

Chalkboard Flower Pots

I adore having fresh flowers in my home. Here in my home city of Cambridge, we have a wonderful flower market where I buy tulips in the Spring and peonies in the Summer. I think Peonies look so delicate and the petals almost paper like.

Today I want to share with you a simple DIY for some chalkboard flower pots - perfect for displaying blooms in your home. I started with my Big Shot Plus machine and the Bigz dies which are my favourite to use.

You will need:

• Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (includes Bigz flower die)
• Flower pots or jars (I spray painted mine white)
• Chalkboard paint
• Heavy white card stock
• Paintbrushes
• Mod Podge
• Chalk or chalkboard pen
• Flowers!

I cut out flower shapes from the card stock using the Bigz die.

I then painted each flower shape with one coat of the chalkboard paint. Before painting, I like to tape the shapes to something so they don't move around.

Once the shapes were dry, I used the Mod Podge to adhere them to each flower pot. 

You can use chalk or chalkboard pens to write the name of the flowers or maybe even a message if you want to give the flower pot as a gift. You could even use this idea for herb pots as well. 

I love how simple these pots are and chalkboard paint is definitely one of my favourite craft supplies. 

What do you think? The roses are fake, so if you never remember to water flowers they are a great option and look realistic. 

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday full of flowery happiness!

Summer Birds

Hi there,

today I made a summer decoration for the garden. I like it when something nice is blowing and waving in the trees. This summer I have chosen cute, little summer birds.

All you need is your favourite paper, strong cardboard, matching feathers, sequins and beads, a small branch, yarn and cord.

Of course, the most important thing is your Big Shot Plus and from the ...

The cardboard is glued on both sides with the birds, so the Mobile can rotate in all directions.

The birds are so lovely, that I decided to put also one of them onto my pencilbox.

Do you like it?

Have a nice weekend!

Birthday Set with new printable from Sizzix

Hey crafty people out there,

I hope you had a beautiful week? It´s reeeeeaaaally hot here in Germany the last days and it will be for the next week. But I can´t stop crafting? Are you with me? ;) 

On the Sizzix Facebook Site you can find a link to a new awesome set of free pattern to print at home. I printed them on Vellum and I loooooove how it turned out. All the little cute hearts, it´s so lovely. :) And be sure to follow Sizzix on Facebook to get the newest infos and a loooot of crafty inspirations. But ok, you wanna see what I made with this printable? Scroll down. ;)

We are invited to a birthday party tonight and I can´t wait to give this cute birthday set to the birthdaygirl. A card is an absolutely MUST for birthdays and because she will get a voucher, I made a fitting box with the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit.

The list of supplies:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) #660515

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles #657551

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Decorative Bubbles #660474

Sizzix Bigz Die - Mariposa #658530

Cardstock, sentiment stamps, needle and some twine, felt, vellum to print the pattern on

I love that the butterfly on the card could sit on the flower on the box. ;) I used felt for the flower and the butterfly to create a little more depth and structure on this birthday set.

I thought it´s a little bit boring just to glue the die cuted circles on the card, so I took some twine and a needle to add a cute element.

Do you like this set? And what about the Sizzix pattern? I think it´s perfect for so many reasons. I think I will make some wedding cards with it in the future.

Have a nice weekend everybody, xo Julia

3D-Dahlia on top of a Box....

Hi there,

Today i want to show you how to make this 3-D- Dahlia... It is so easy.
But it looks so beautiful....and its made out of  a Daisy Die

All you for the Dahlia-Box is:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
(out of it the Box Thinlit and the Textured Impressions Plus Embossing Folder (Dots))
Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower, Daisies
Sizzix Bigz Die - Garden Greens

You need a lot of Daisy of each size....

and you need to roll up each petal - i took my fingernail for this.

I took yellow paper for the ovary...

And then i put them all on a brad....

Together with a green leave (Sizzix Bigz Die - Garden Greens)

i put it onto the box (I embossed the box with the Textured Impressions Plus Embossing Folder (Dots) out of the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit)...

finished.

Hallo Ihr Lieben,

heute möchte ich euch die Dahlienblüte zeigen, die ich aus lauter Gänseblümchen-Dies
gemacht habe...

Was ihr dafür braucht:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
(daraus das Box Thinlit und den Textured Impressions Plus Embossing Folder (Dots))
Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower, Daisies
Sizzix Bigz Die - Garden Greens


Ihr braucht jede Menge der Gänseblümchen von jeder Größe.
Die einzelnen Blütenblätter rollt ihr au - ich hab das gleich mit dem Fingernagel gemacht.
Für den Blütenstempel habe ich gelbes Papier benutzt.

Und dann alle auf ein  Brad gesteckt - zusammen mit etwas Grünzeug
Auf die Box geklebt (die habe ich vorher mit dem Embossing-Folder aus dem 
Big Shot Plus Starter Kit embossed) und fertig ist die Box.

Ich wünsch euch ein hübsches Wochenende, Steffi
