Two Cards by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!
I created two cards for my post today and I hope
you will enjoy them as I enjoy making them.

My first card is using two types of Sizzix doilies - Vintage and Lovely doilies
which I like very much. Basically my card is a pure layering of
all the round shapes and adding small touches :-)

658506 Sizzix Sizzlits Vintage Doily 

658605 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Doilies, Lovely 

657177 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Mini Paper Rosettes

When the small rosette was completely ready I distressed the edges with blue Chalk Edger Pad.

Then I added on top a small die-cut Lovely doily. After that I added the twine bow en

finished with a circle from the pattern paper.

I cut the vintage small doily in two and I used only half to decorate the title.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Ingvild Bolme - Chalk Edgers Ink Pads  

Pattern paper - unknown

I love looking through all my pattern papers with gorgeous elements,

flowers, phrases, etc. For this card the text I saw on one of those papers

(Prima Marketing, Madeline) made me think at once of the round die from

Snowflake Frame set. I tried it and it fit perfectly. Then I decorated the

circle with a Vintage doily and this is how I began creating this card.

A Girly layout by Gerry van Gent



Hello Sizzix Friends!

Today I've got a layout to share with you where
I combined old & new Sizzix dies.

The new butterflies Mariposa are so cute and adorable.

Love the fact that you can cut separately small wings and

adhere them so you'll achieve more dimension.

On my project the small butterfly was die-cut twice and the wings once.

I`ve used different pattern papers and as a final touch I added a resin in the centre. 

The other new die I used is the beautiful and so exquisite Classique Swirl.

The swirl was cut a few times from white cardstock.

I cut into pieces the swirl itself so I can have more swirls :-) 

and added to my project.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages - "Plum Seed" paper collection

Webster's Pages - silhouettes, metal trinket

KaiserCraft - Clear Stamp

Hallo Sizzix vrienden!
Vandaag wil ik een layout met jullie delen waarmee
ik oud en nieuw Sizzix stansen heb gebruikt.
*  *  *

De nieuwe Mariposa vlinders zijn zo schattig en mooi.

Het feit dat je kleine vleugels kunt stansen en gebruiken

op je vlinder creëert een prachtig dimensie.

Op mijn pagina heb ik de vlinder twee keer gestanst 

en de vleugels een keer.

Ik heb verschillende patroon papieren gebruikt en 

in het eind heb ik een kleine decoratie toegevoegd.

De andere nieuwe stans dat ik heb gebruikt is de schitterende Classique Swirl.

*  *  *

De "swirl" is paar keer uit witte cardstock gestanst.

Daarna heb ik de "swirl" zelf in stukjes geknipt om 

meer "swirls" :-) te krijgen.

I hope you enjoyed my project.

Thanks for visiting us today & happy Creating!
