-PER LE LETTRICI ITALIANE-

Ciao carissime amiche e buon giovedì!

Avete già scaricato le splendide Free New Baby Paper Downloads?

Sono bellissime, adorabili e particolarmente adatte a creazioni per i più piccoli!

Oggi vedremo come usarle per creare dei carinissimi cestini da usare come porta confetti!

Per questo progetto ho usato:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit 660515
Free New Baby Paper Downloads
Forbici
Colla

Scegliere due diversi pattern dalle carte che avrete scaricato e poi stampato su cartoncino bianco. Fustellare le scatoline con la fustella adatta inclusa nello starter kit della nuova big shot. Come vedete, acquistando soltanto lo starter kit è possibile già ottenere tante creazioni!! Basta davvero solo la fantasia!
Decorate le scatoline così ottenute scegliendo diversi abbellimenti dalle carte scaricate. Io scelto il banner con le stelle per creare il manico del cestino blu e il banner con i fiocchetti per il cestino rosa. E poi cuori, pois, strisce.....
Io penso siano davvero adorabili!!
Non credete anche voi???

Vi ringrazio per la visita!
Alla prossima!

An Easter Basket by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!
Happy Easter to all of you!
How many eggs did you eat already :-) ?

I decided to make a last-minute Easter decoration
at home so here I am today sharing the result ...
An Easter basket. 

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

Craft Asylum A4 Cardstock Sheets

660473 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Decorative Trim #2

660474 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Decorative Bubbles

Free Easter Paper Downloads

*       *      *

(blue) Cardstock sheets come from Craft Asylum A4 paper block

which is included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

*      *      *
"Happy Easter" banner comes from Free Easter Paper Downloads
*      *      *

After die cutting the cute box I cut out the top part i.e. the "lid".
In this way I was able to create my basket.

After that I die cut the parts I needed for the basket handle...

The white thin chain-like die-cut comes from Decorative Trim #2 die...

Final result....

For the 4 sides of the basket I die cut the flourish motif ...

I used simply white cardstock which pops up very well ...

The top edges I decorated with die-cut scallops...

Now the basket is ready to be decorated and filled in with eggs....

This is one of the beautiful butterflies included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

One of the flowers included in the Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit...

I adhered in the middle an egg. 

The egg itself is decorated with the heart border from Decorative Bubbles.

Thank you so much for visiting us today!

Enjoy your Easter Weekend with your loved ones!

A tray - basket for my wips

I love doing baskets, but these time I needed something big , like a fabric tray , for my wips. Then I designed  a nice " tray basket" that matched with  my needlework project bag that I showed some weeks ago here and the tutorial for sew it. 

I used the circle die  to add  the half circles made with fabric.

Now I can enjoy i with these cute kit and sew  my hexagons in my patio.

Here you can see some details and the quilting on the back of the  tray.

Supply List : 

657900

Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal)

Bigz L Die- Circles 2",3" & 4"

47"x 3.5"  cotton fabric , gingham fabric , batting, fusible web ( same size for everthing )

11.5"x 11.5"  cotton fabric , gingham fabric , batting, fusible web ( same size for everthing )

Scraps for the circles

44" lace bias

I cut  40 , 3"  circles in different scraps. 

Sew in pairs as I liked. 

Cut in the middle

Took  out and pressed

Press the fusible web to the  gingham fabrics ( rectangle and square )

Sew the rectangle and after that I sew to the square.

I did the same with the batting and the cotton fabric.First I quilt them with straight lines.

Pinned  the  half circles  around the out side of  the cotton tray ( 5 in each side ).

Put the gingham tray inside the other and pinned again .

Then  I sew the bias tape  on the out side and finished by hand and that´s all. 

I think it´s a practical tray and you don´t need  time to sew it. I love mine!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Love

Me encanta hacer  cestas y esta vez necesitaba algo más grande, similar a una bandeja , para mis proyectos en curso. Entonces diseñé una  “ cesta bandeja “ que fuera a juego con  la última bolsa que hice para mis proyectos que  enseñé aquí  hace algunas semanas  y el tutorial para hacerla.

Para ello , usé el troquel de los círculos  para añadir un adorno alrededor .

Ahora ya puedo disfrutar de este  bonito kit  y coser en mi patio.

En las fotos puedes ver el acolchado que hice  alrededor  y en la base de esta bandeja de tela.

Materiales :

657900

Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal)

Bigz L Die- Circles 2",3" & 4"

119cm x 9 cm de tela de algodón , tela de vichí, guata y entretela de pegar con la plancha por un lado ( el mismo tamaño para todo )

29cm x 29cm de tela de algodón  tela de vichí , guata y entrele de pegar con la plancha por un lado ( el mismo tañamo para todo )

Restos de telas para los círuclos

112 cm de biés con puntilla

Estos son los pasos que seguí . Puedes guiarte a través de las imágenes.

Corté  40 cículos con el troquel del  círculo mediano de 7.5 cm

Los cosí  del revés como me gustaron y los corté por la mitad

Les dí la vuelta y planché.

Planché la entretela a las telas de vichí ( cuadrado y rectángulo )

Cosí cerré el  rectángulo con una costura por el revés y lo cosí al cuadrado de  vichí.

Hice lo mismo con la tela de algodón que previamente había acolchado con unas líneas en la base y una en el medio del lateral de la cesta.

Sujeté con alfileres los medios círculos en la parte de afuera de la cesta de tela de algodón ( 5 en cada lado )

Coloqué dentro el forro de vichí y sujeté todo con alfileres.

Cosí el biés por encima y lo terminé a mano.

Creo que es una bandeja práctica y no necesitas mucho tiempo para coserla.
 ¡ A mí me encanta la mía !
Que tengas un maravilloso fin de semana 
Cariños
