"Captured Moments" Card by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

It's Sunday and I am back with another project I created for you.
For today's post I prepared a card using a few Sizzix dies.

657900 Sizzix Big Shot Machine

658508 Sizzix Sizzlits Die Set Roses Flower Set

658221 Sizzix Originals Die Curly Gate

658551 Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die 

Mini Filmstrip & Mini Tickets

658711 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Ironwork Gate

*      *      *

Once I die cut the stems with leaves from the Roses Flower Set I used them to decorate 

the flower clusters. Before adhering them I used a white pen and drew round the edges.

N.B. The stem & leaves on the right side of the card were die cut twice and

adhered partially on top of each other.

From the Ironwork Gate I used only a bit as decoration.

The Curly Gate was die cut twice - once using white cardstock and 

second time using some corrugated cardboard.

I used the corrugated cardboard die-cut as a shadow.

I love so much how the Mini Filmstrip turned out - I call it the "dancing" Filmstrip :-)

I glued the filmstrip fristly only in the beginning and the end.

Then I partially  adhered parts of the filmstrip to give this "dancing" feeling.

As a final touch I added the buckle. 

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

The Scrapbook Diaries Clear Stamps

KaiserCraft papers

Tim Holtz stencil

Prima Marketing flowers

If you´d like to give a small present to someone, but don´t have a lot of time to prepare an elaborately decorated gift, this decoration might be the right fit. I used the Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle with a white cardstock and a patterned paper. I adhered the patterned paper in the back of the white cardstock so it shows a little bit through. I used the Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leaves to create the heart shape, stamped onto it and punched holes around it. Adhering the twine onto the heart was the most time consuming part - the thicker the thread, the longer it takes. If you use thick thread, make sure to not punch the holes too close to the edge as the paper might break.

I used dimensional foam dots to glue the heart to the wrapper, then I added a rhinestone as a highlight and ribbon on the top part of the glas. The final step was to attach the brad on top of the knot, this might be a bit tricky, but looks really nice. All in all this decoration might take 25-35 minutes.

Have a great and crafty day, everyone!
Janna

Hallo ihr Lieben, hier ist Janna mit einer schnellen und niedlichen Geschenkverpackung, die zu fast jedem Anlass passt.

Glas: Ikea

Wenn ihr jemandem ein kleines Geschenk überreichen möchtet, aber nicht viel Zeit habt, eine aufwändig gestaltete Verpackung herzustellen, dann ist diese Art vielleicht genau die richtige.
Ich habe aus weißem Cardstock und Patterned Paper Formen mit der Sizzix Framelits Die Set - Wrappers, Circle gestanzt. Das Patterned Paper habe ich hinter dem Cardstock befestigt, so dass es ein wenig hervorlugt. Mit der Sizzix Bigz Die - Heart, Stem & Leaves habe ich anschließend das Herz aus kraftfarbenem Cardstock ausgestanzt, auf diesem gestempelt und dann Löcher um den Rand herum gestanzt. Das Herz mit Garn zu besticken war der zeitaufwändigste Part. Je dicker das Garn, umso länger braucht man. Wenn ihr dickes Garn verwendet achtet darauf, die Löcher nicht zu nah am Rand anzubringen, sonst zerreißt das Papier.

Danach habe ich das  Herz mit 3dimensionalen Klebepads angebracht, ein Glitzersteinchen als Highlight befestigt und Band um den Glashals gewickelt. Zum Abschluss habe ich eine Klammer um den Schleifenknoten gebogen, das war etwas knifflig, sieht aber gut aus. Insgesamt hat diese Dekoration ca. 25-35 Minuten in Anspruch genommen.

Habt einen schönen Tag!
Janna
