Altered tiny cutting board

Hi everybody!

We can’t deny that Chalk Paint is very cool. Is great for painting cardboard, and die cut it to create beautiful embellishments for our scrapbook.

Recently I really like altering decorative objects, and few days ago when I saw a tiny cutting board in a supplies shop, I had to buy it with the idea to use in a scrapbooking project. And here is the result.

in this step you can see how I did it:

some details of my altered tiny cutting board

Hope you like it!

657900 Sizzix Big Shot machine

657552 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles, Scallop

657563 Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Ovals

Hola a todo el mundo!

No podemos negar que la Chalk Paint esta muy de moda, y a mi me encanta usarla para pintar cartulina y troquelarla, creando preciosos embellecedores con un aspecto genial para usar en mi scrapbook.

Últimamente me estoy aficionando a alterar objetos de decoración, y el otro día cuando vi una minúscula tabla de cocina en una tienda de decoración no dude en comprarla para usarla en algún proyecto de scrapbooking.

En el paso a paso puedes ver como lo he hecho.

A touch of Elegance

The Elegance in the title belongs to a new collection of dies which shares the same name. The dies in question are very ornate Framelits dies using a Damask style which ties all these dies together thematically allowing us to mix and match.... how thoughtful!

I created this card with Valentines day in mind and I chose a colour palette which has a more masculine feel, Having said that, I'm probably one of very few men who would appreciate the care and effort involved in it's creation, we're such ungrateful creatures!

I have used two of the dies from the collection namely Regal Owl and Graceful Flourish. I also used my trusty Framelits Circles and Scallop Circles of which I am very fond as anyone who reads this blog from time to time will be very aware! Click on the words to follow the link.

I started by dipping into my metallic card box and pulling out some dull gold metallic and some lovely copper coloured card. I die-cut both owls removing the inbetweeny (technical term alert!!) bits from the gold owl. Next, I die-cut the flourish from gold card before gently buffing both gold die-cuts using a fine sanding pad to lightly tarnish the surface. I then took the copper owl and attached it to the rear of the gold owl and I used strips of thin tape to ensure that the tiny bits remain in place.

I printed the legend 'Happiness is being married to your best friend' onto cream card as shown so that it fits within my chosen circle. Next, I die-cut around the phrase with a Framelits circle die before gently inking the edge and matting onto a larger copper coloured die-cut scallop circle. I then attached the flourish as shown.

To make the base card I cut a 35 x 190 mm strip of music pattern paper and snipped one end into a chevron with my scissors. Next, I attached a 70 x 210 mm strip of brown patterned card near the left hand edge of a 130 x 210 mm cream base card. The paper is from my stash and comes from My Minds Eye first Lost & Found collection

Once the base card was assembled I attached all the other elements using foam pads to create a sense of depth and here it is. I do hope you like it?

Bente week 4 'Gift Ideas'

Hello Sizzix friends!

Not long now until Father Christmas makes an effort to squeeze down througn the chimney and we'll be gathering with our near and dear ones to enjoy lovely food and maybe open a heartfelt gift or two. I will be giving away both storebought gifts and a few small tokens of appreciation that I have made myself. The theme for this post is actually one of those cute little pieces that I made myself.
It's a brooch that I made for an elderly relative.

I also made a matching pair of earrings in the shape of a snowflake.

I used one of the Tim Holtz plastic sheets (that are great for embossing!) and glued it to my paper as reinforcement. Once again I used the pretty download papers that you can get for free. -Love them!

I used the circle scallop die to cut some glitter-tulle to add in between layers.

I cut out the different sizes of snowflakes from paper/plastic, and from heavy felt as well.

I started with the larger size in paper/plastic and glued the other snowflakes oone on top of the other. As a second layer I used the tulle to add som sparkle and 'frostiness'.

After I glued on the smallest flake I actually added some freshwater pearls to the center as well as some liquid pearl.

Finally I sewed a pin to a small piece of felt and glued it to the back.
As you see; very easy and fun to do!

This is what I have used:

Sizzix Big Shot Machine Only (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Bigz L Die - Stacked Snowflakes
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Circles, Scallop
Free downloadable papers

Bentes Christmas tree decorations for week 3.

Hi, I am back this Sunday to share some decorations I made for my tree using the beautiful free download papers and a few of my favourite dies.

De dies I used were the scalloped circle , the oval and and the snowflake from the Winter borders & rosette set.

I added pop dots between the layers to add some more interest to my ornaments.

I hope you like my ornaments and will try making them. It's a nice thing to do in family with in the kids as they are pretty straight forward to make and the design can be varied to make different styles.

The supplies I used were:

Introduction from Gerry

Hello Sizzix friends!
I`m so happy to introduce myself today on Sizzix blog.

My name is Gerry. I`m a 39 years old Bulgarian woman who lives in The Netherlands. My Dutch husband and I "created" two adorable children - Leanne (5) and Alexander (9). I`m a full time mom which gives me opportunity to stay at home and have plenty of time for my hobbies - scrapbooking and photography.

I`ve been already scrapbooking for more than 10 years and it became an important part of my life. My style changed through the years a lot and nowadays I can define it as a romantic, shabby chic & sometimes vintage. I like playing "gently" with different mediums and of course I love using Sizzix products on my projects. My Big Shot Machine is my best friend while I`m creating :-)

Here are some projects I created using Sizzix products:
