Ciao crafter!

Qui fa caldissimo e l'estate si avvicina..

Periodo di compleanni e di serate speciali e fresche.

Io non ho resistito ad un bel gelato, fragola, pistacchio e panna..

E voi quali gusti preferite??

Un gelato può diventare un biglietto d'auguri sorprendente.

"This Moment" by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix peeps!

Hope you are all enjoying a relaxed Sunday!

Today I want to share with you a canvas I created

using awesome Sizzix dies. Scrapping on canvas is an 

absolute pleasure for me for the last years.
So here is one I created especially for you :-)

657900 Sizzix Big Shot Machine

658837 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/Stamps Love, Hugs & Hearts

659133 Sizzix Thinlits Die Moroccan Card Front

657495 Sizzix On the Edge Die Butterflight

656640 Sizzix Bigz Die Tattered Florals

658506 Sizzix Sizzlits Die Vintage Doily

*     *     *

For the die Moroccan Card Front I used black cardstock in order to have

contrast to my pastel coloured background. Once it was die cut I separated 

it in a few pieces and added as decoration to the photo.

When I die cut the butterflies I carefully fussy cut three of them 

so I can use them separately on my project!

To make my project even more personal I hand made some of the flowers

by using the super awesome die Tattered Florals.

I chose brown fabric canvas which I combined with some white lace and ...

of course a brad to fasten the pieces altogether.

I also die cut two small flowers extra to use them on the canvas.

The two hearts were stamped and die cut with Love, Hugs & Hearts Die set.

I hope you enjoyed my canvas today!

Have a creative day!

Two projects by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix Friends!
Gerry's here today sharing with you two projects.
My first project is a card where I mixed a few dies and
I also used one of the Sizzix stamps.

658720 Sizzix Bigz Die Ornate Frame

658837 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/Stamps Love, Hugs & Hearts

The phrase was first stamped on some leftover pattern paper 

and then the label die (658932) was used to die cut it.

As an addition to the stamped phrase I added three die-cut flowers.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages - "Party Time!" paper collection 

Webster's Pages - "Growing Up Girl" paper collection

*     *     *

My second project is a layout.

I used here only one single die which was (in my opinion) 

the perfect decoration for my photo.

Valentine's Tag by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!

Valentine's Day is approaching and today I would

love to share another project created for this occasion.

And once again for my today's project I used our FREE

Valentine's Paper Downloads.

Here is my tag....

I used one of the pattern papers as a background and

then I began adding embellishments to decorate it.

*    *    *

Different dies were used to die cut my embellishments...

The red heart - between the twine - was first stamped and then die cut.

You will find the word "cute" printed on one of the pattern papers - 

I used a small banner die which fit perfectly.

Other Products I used:

Webster's Pages flower resin

*    *    *

And sharing a mini layout (15cm x 15cm) where I used

once again the Ornate Frame (658720) to layer my photo....

Seasonal Card by Gerry van Gent

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday!

 Card Size: 10.2 cm x 15.5 cm

The Conservatory Window and Holiday Lamppost were die cut twice:

a. Once, using pattern paper and b. And second time using black and white cardstock.

The cardstock dies were used as shadows for the pattern paper windows.

The swirls decorating above the window are actually part of the Ornate Hanging Sign.

I cut out a few ornaments which I used for the top part of the window

and for the Holiday Lamppost as well.
