Happy Birthday Long Label Card


Hi everyone! Today I have an easy card to share with you using the Sizzix Long Labels Thinlits Die #659131 and Darkroom Door Stamps!

The Long Labels dies are perfect for adding sentiments to cards! I know I'll be using this die a lot! Here's how I made this card:

1. Stamp the Darkroom Door Swirls Background onto light purple cardstock using Archival Deep Purple ink pad. Sponge the same ink around the edges using an ink blending tool. Adhere to green cardstock and then onto a folded dark purple card.
2. Die cut a label from the Long Labels #659131 Thinlits die set using green cardstock.
3. Stamp a sentiment from the Darkroom Door Simple Sayings stamp set using Archival Deep Purple inkpad. Adhere to the centre of the card to complete!

How simple is that! But the ornate ends of this die make it so beautiful. I love how these dies are great to use up left over pieces of card stock too, so you could die cut a lot of labels in advance just using left overs and have them on hand already when you need to make a card.

Hope you've enjoyed today's card! Thanks for stopping by!

Everyday card by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

It`s Sunday and I am ready to share with you my latest 

 card created with two of the recently released Thinlits dies.
If you need to make a quick surprise card for
your best friend all you need is .... two awesome dies :-)

As a base of my card I used a double round card from white cardstock

which has almost the same diameter as the inner (yellow-white) die-cut circle.

I left the round double card 1/2 cm bigger so I can adhere 

round the edges the scallop die-cut circle.

I die cut the Frame Layers & Flower #2 twice using 

two different pattern papers. 

The Long label was die cut from the same pattern paper as 

the scallop circle. On top I added the phrase - I used foam squares 

for more dimension. Then I fussy cut a few patterns.

Pearls and twine were added for decoration.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

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

I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Have a beautiful Sunday!

Simple Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

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.

This window is a combination of two dies - 

Conservatory Window and Window & Window Box.

The top of the Conservatory Window was used

on top of the other window.

The die-cut circles spread all over the page were

die cut from the Frame Layers & Flower #2.

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.

*  *  * 

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.
