"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.

658551 Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die 
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.

A "Mum" Card by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix Friends!

I used two of the pattern papers for my background.
Then I began decorating the card from top to bottom by
adding cut outs from Mother's Day Paper Downloads
and combining them with the beautiful dies.
The banner is originally a small one but to make it look
long I cut into two parts and added them to both sides of the heart.

Simple Layout by Gerry van Gent


Hello Sizzix friends!
I hope you all enjoyed a very special 
Valentine's Day with your loved ones!
Today I would love to share with you my
vision of a simple layout using gorgeous Sizzix dies.

Because I wanted to add flowers and the collection
didn`t have any I decided to make my own.
I simply chose different pattern papers and die cut some flowers.
For the centers I die cut exactly around the tiny white hearts.
Hello 1

This window is a combination of two dies - 
Hello 2
The top of the Conservatory Window was used
on top of the other window.

Valentine's Cards by Gerry van Gent


Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!
It`s February and soon we are celebrating
the sweetest day of all - Valentine's Day.

Today I created two Valentine cards for you.
Both cards were created with our Free Valentine's Paper Downloads
which are so beautiful and gorgeous. The colours and the patterns
are not only suitable for your Valentine's cards but also for other occasions.
Crazy for you
Card Size: 10cm x 15cm

The Curly Gate pattern was die cut from corrugated cardboard and 
white cardstock. After that I glued them both on top of each other 
and then adhered on the front of the card.

I made this card look like a cover of a book.
I decorated it simple - I added the leaves, the cut-outs and
wrapped some white twine around the title.

A "Merry Christmas" Card by Gerry van Gent



Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!
Today I prepared for you a Christmas Card using some
gorgeous new & old Sizzix dies.

659127 Sizzix Thinlits Dies Frame Layers & Flower #2
657906 Sizzix Framelits Dies Frame, Snowflake
659131 Sizzix Thinlits Dies Labels, Long
658622 Sizzix Framelits Dies w/ Stamps Snowflakes #2
*  *  * 

Card Size: 12.5 cm x 14cm
To make the circle I used two different dies.
From the  Frame Layers & Flower #2 die I used the inside circle
of the doily which is the solid, main circle.
 Then I used the Frame, Snowflake die as this one I used
as a frame. I distressed with ink and adhered on top of the
solid circle.

The round shaped dates you see are fussy cut from the
pattern paper and then glued on top of the die-cut snowflakes.

I love this new set with long labels - it`s so intricate and 
beautiful.
Labels, Long
For my card I combined two of those labels.
The smallest label is used as a base of the title.
From the largest label only the top ornate part
was used to decorate the smallest label on the card.
