XOXO

Hi everybody!

For this week, I wanted to scrap a picture of my elder daughter, a true teenager!

She takes selfies with her iPod and I adore looking at these photos…

To emphasize this bright and very clear beautiful picture, I chose a navy blue background. The lightness of the flowers of this paper was ideal!

Then I overlapped several papers of very neutral colours and I brought a little texture with a piece of white tulle and tracing paper.

I contrasted with turquoise and fuchsia embellishments.

I created a pretty farandole of leaves and flowers thanks to the daisy shaped die of Craft Asylum. The leaves were cut using the die " Garden greens " of Tim Holtz.

I finished my page with a lovely title cut with the Die "Friendship words: script" of Tim Holtz. Here and there I added some half-pearls, brads, buttons and stars… 

I hope that this page will please you!

Pour cette semaine, j'ai voulu scrapper une photo de ma grande fille, une vraie ado! Elle se prend en photo avec son I-pod et j'adore regarder ces clichés…

Pour mettre en valeur cette superbe photo très claire et lumineuse, j'ai choisi un fond bleu marine, la légèreté des fleurs de ce papier était idéale!

Puis j'ai superposé plusieurs papiers de couleur très neutre et j'ai apporté un peu de texture avec un morceau de tulle blanc et du calque.

J'ai contrasté avec des embellissement bleu turquoise et fushia
J'ai créé une jolie farandole de feuilles et de fleurs grâce au die en forme de marguerite de Craft Asylum et au feuille du die "Garden greens" de Tim Holtz.

J'ai terminé ma page avec un joli titre découpé grâce au Die "Friendship words: script" de Tim Holtz, quelques demi-perles, brads, boutons et étoiles ça et là …

J'espère que cette page vous aura plu!

Daisy Love - Homedeko

Hello there...

do you remember those summer days, sitting in the grass, picking daisys for a small
bouquet for your mom? I loved it.

But a view days later the daisys were withered  :-(

So i decided to make a bouquet that lasts a little longer.

All you need:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Layering Daisy
buttons and wire
a vase
Ribbon (i used blue/white striped ribbon and bast fibers)
double sided adhesive tape

First i decorated the vase with the double sided adhesive tape, the ribbon and the fibers.

Then you need a lot of daisys.
I fixed the single leaves with a button and wire on top of each other....
(you need to do this some times - its a perfect activity while watching TV ;-)

Put the daisys into the vase - now you have a cute homedeco.

Enjoy it and have a great weekend, Stephanie

Hallo Ihr Lieben,

erinnert ihr euch an die Sommertage, als ihr in der Wiese im Gras gesessen habt
und einen Gänseblümchenstrauß für eure Mama gepflückt habt? Ich habe es geliebt.

Aber ein paar Tage später waren die Gänseblümchen verwelkt.

Also habe ich entschieden, einen Strauß zu machen, der etwas länger hält.


Alles was ihr braucht:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Layering Daisy
Knöpfe und Draht
eine Vase
Baumwollband (ich habe das schöne blau/weiß gestreifte benutzt)
Bastband
Doppelseitiges Klebeband

Zuerst dekoriert ihr die Vase mit dem Doppelseitigen Klebeband, dem Baumwollband und
dem Bastband.

Dann braucht ihr jede Menge Gänseblümchen.
Ich habe die einzelnen Blätter des Dies mit Knöpfen und Draht aufeinander fixiert.

Dann ab mit den Gänseblümchen in die Vase - fertig ist der Blumenstrauß,

Habt viel Spaß damit.
Schönes Wochenende, Steffi

Colourful coasters for summer!

Hi Sizzix friends!!!

During the summer holiday it’s time to create something beautiful with our children. In this case we have decorated colourful coasters. We’ve passed a good time together trying colours and die-cutting.

Let us show you these fun coasters!

To create these coasters we have used standard cork coasters. Then we decided the colours to paint them and the dies to create girly coasters and boy coaters.

These are the materials we have used:

My Big Shot Plus, Layering daisy #2 dies, layering daisy die, splat die, die brush, cork coasters, different colours cardstock, acrylic paint, a paint brush and gel medium.

And here are the few steps to decorate them:

First we have paint in different colours one of the faces of the coasters.

Then we’ve die-cut in different colours cardstock the shapes we liked for each coasters. We’ve used the magnetic platform to die-cut with the thinlits.

We have die-cut big flowers to match the little ones.

Finally we’ve made our own combination and glued using the gel medium. We have also applied gel medium all over the top of the coasters to prevent from damaging the paper. 

Here are more details images:

 This is my favourite combination!!!

And this is the favourite of  my younger son.

Now we are ready to receive our friends at home and invited them to a delicious juice using these fabulous coasters!

We have used the following Sizzix products:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
• 660513 Sizzix Accessory - Die Brush & Foam Pad for Wafer-Thin Dies

¡Hola a todos!

Durante las vacaciones de verano es un gran momento para crear algo alegre con nuestros hijos. En este caso hemos decorado unos posavasos. Y lo mejor ha sido el buen rato que hemos pasado juntos. Pero mejor os enseñamos el resultado:

Para crear estos pasavasos hemos utilizado unos de corcho estandar. Entonces tocaba escoger colores y troqueles para darles un toque más de chica o chico (así hay para todos).

Los materiales utilizados son: Mi Big Shot Plus, los troqueles layering daisy #2 , layering daisy, y el splat, el cepillo, posavasos de corcho, cartulinas de colores variados, pintura acrílica, pincel y gel medium. 

Y estas son las imágenes de los pocos pasos necesarios: 

- Pintar una de las caras de los posavasos.

- Troquelar los motivos para decorarlos

- Combinarlos como más nos gusten.

- Encolar con gel medium y aplicar una capa por encima para proteger de manchas el papel.

Ahora ya estamos listos para recibir a nuestros amigos en casa e invitarlos a un zumo utilizando ¡¡¡estos alegres posavasos!!! 

Hemos utilizado los siguientes productos Sizzix:

• 660020 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Machine Only (White & Gray)
• 656499 Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies

A "Happy Birthday" Card by Gerry van Gent

Hallo Sizzix peeps!

I am sharing today a Birthday card I created for a friend of mine.

We have finally some sun in The Netherlands and it finally feels like 

summer... and yes, this card is totally inspired by pretty summer colours.

I used the brand new dies by Craft Asylum "Layering Daisy".

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit

660485 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Layering Daisy #2

*        *        *

Hmmm, I got a bit addicted in die cutting all those beauties!

I wanted more and more...

Eventually I used only 6 daisies: 2 white, 2 yellow and 2 turquoise!

Once I adhered all 6 daisies on top of one another 

I added my final touch to the flower - a big rhinestone.

I "lifted up" each daisy so it will look more dimensional.

Card size: 12 cm x 15 cm

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

The Scrapbook Diaries "Butterfly Stamp Set" by Gerry van Gent

Imaginarium Designs Chipboard "Happy Birthday"

Glitz Design "Color Me Happy" Giant Rhinestone 

Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays

Have a great Sunday!

Desk Organizer

Hello there,

today I am very excited, because I can present you one of the brand new Thinlits, made by Sizzix:

When Natalie's Parcel arrived, I was very curious and I really looked forward, because these beautiful flowers are exactly my taste. Immediately I had to try out and today I can show you my first results.

Maybe you already know, I have a passion for bookbindings and building boxes.  I built a new Organizer for my desk and that decorated it with the layering Daisy.

Incidentally, I have allowed myself the practical SIZZIX Accessory - Plastic Envelopes of Sizzix.

Maybe I will show you self-made storage for it soon ;)

I hope you like these Organizer & the Flower-decoration.

I wish you a  lovely weekend!

Annika
