Colourful Cards by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix Friends and Happy 1st of March!!

Can you believe it? It is already March? Time surely flies :-)

I am already in a Spring mood and I am absolutely looking forward

to some warm and colourful season like Spring. And by saying this

my projects today are two cards in bright, happy and cheerful colours.

NEW 660220 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Mixed Media

658701 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/Stamps Word Labels

*       *       *

My first card is featuring the diamonds Mixed Media die....

I basically die cut the diamonds twice on a piece of white cardstock.

Then I misted the cardstock and adhered it on top of another white piece of cardstock.

After that I tore it diagonally somewhere in the middle - 

I kind of resized it to fit on the front of my (14 cm x 10 cm) card.

The stamped and die cut Word Label was used to decorate the flower.

I simply adhered it in the center of the flower.

I added glitter for a bit of shiny effect.

And my second card today...

To make this card I used the Circles dies with approx. sizes 4 1/4" and 3 3/4".

NEW 660220 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Mixed Media

NEW 660210 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Alphanumeric

*      *      *

I used white cardstock to die cut the Circle with size 3 3/4".

Then I die cut the Mixed Media die twice - top and bottom of the circle.

Once ready I misted it in green and placed it 

underneath another die-cut Circle with size 3 3/4". 

The Alphanumeric letters were die cut twice using white and red cardstock.

The red letters I used as shadow letters.

Hope you enjoyed my "Spring-inspired" cards today!

Thank you so much for visiting us today!

Have a creative Sunday!

You Are the Best


Hi All!

Daria is here. And today for my post I created a layout! This layout is about my daughter. She was so sweet when she was a little girl. I love these photos.

I used light yellow cardstock, stencil with hearts and Pan Pastel to create background. And of course I used different dies to make my layout looks more interesting.

Items used:
Big Shot Machine (657900)
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK w/Stamps - Banners #2 (658696)

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 9PK - Tags #2 (658611)

I love to cut doilies from vellum. It makes doilies so airy. Also I used stamps from Word Labels dies set to create a titles of my layout.

Have a nice day!

Daria.


Всем привет!

Сегодня я со страничкой о моей дочке. На этих фотографиях она еще совсем кроха, и такая сладкая! Для создания странички я использовала светло-желтый кардсток, трафарет с сердечками и pan pastel. Так же я использовала различные ножи, чтобы моя страничка выглядела интересней.

Для создания заголовков я использовала штампы из набора ножей Word Labels.

A Tag by Gerry



Hello Sizzix friends!

Today I have a tag to share with you.

I used corrugated cardboard and cardstock and added

only a piece of pattern paper.

I love how the quote stamp/die fits & suits perfectly the globe.

The Cobblestones strip die was used as background.

I die cut the ornate part of the sign and I cut exactly in the middle.

Both parts were used to decorate the sides of the tag.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Hallo Sizzix vrienden!

Vandaag wil ik graag met jullie een tag delen.

Ik heb voornamelijk golfkarton en cardstock gebruikt.

Volgens mij past het citaat stempel/stans perfect bij de wereldbol stans.

De Cobblestones stans is gebruikt om de achtergrond te versieren.

Het ornement gedeelte van het bord heb ik door midden gesneden.

Allebei de stukjes heb ik gebruikt om de randjes van het tag te versieren.

I hope you enjoyed my tag today!

Have a great Sunday!

Special Gift by Gerry



Hello Sizzix friends!

Happy Easter from my family to yours!

Today I have for you a little gift I made for somebody special.

I used the Pocket Watch Frame Die as a base and 

I hope you will like it and get inspired.

658571 Sizzix Movers & Shapers Bigz Die - Pocket Watch Frame

658356 Sizzix Embossing Folders - Rose Vines & Trellis Set

658701 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/stamps- Word Labels

656938 Sizzix Movers & Shapers Bigz L Die - Tag & Bookplates

This is what I did:

1. I used peel cardboard 1.5 mm ( or you can use corrugated cardboard)

 to make your project stable and pattern paper of your choice. 

Both were die cut together....

2. As a result I had both inside circles almost cut.

I used a craft knife to cut them completely and separate them from the frame.

3. After that I die cut once again the Pocket Watch Frame but

this time using another pattern paper and I gave texture with 

the gorgeous Trellis embossing folder .

Then carefully sanded the embossed trellis.

N.B. If you use only pattern paper you don't 

get the "pre-cut" circle!

4. Now I have all three parts of my base and they are

ready to be adhered in the order as shown on the photo below....

Once everything is adhered you can sand the frame and

add e.g. Glossy Accents.

5. I die cut the oval Bookplate and used only the oval itself 

so I can stamp my quote.

N.B. I tried to use not too much ink so when I stamp it

it would look more vintage.

Now you can decorate with embellishments

of your choice!

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Webster's Pages pattern paper

Webster's Pages bird resin

Hallo Sizzix vrienden!

Vrolijk Pasen allemaal.

Vandaag laat ik een geschenk zien dat ik voor een bijzonder iemand heb gemaakt. 

Ik heb het Pocket Watch Frame Die als een basis gebruikt. 

Ik hoop dat jullie geïnspireerd  raken!

*  *  *

Dit is wat ik gedaan heb:

1. Ik heb pelkarton 1,5 mm (golfkarton mag ook) gebuikt om het project stabiel te maken, samen met patroonpapier dat je naar eigen keuze kan uitzoeken. Beiden zijn samen gestanst...

*  *  *

2. Het resultaat is dat de 2 binnenste cirkels bijna geheel uitgesneden zijn

Met een hobby mes heb ik ze helemaal uitgesneden en van het frame losgemaakt.

*  *  *

3. Daarna heb zakhorloge frame nog een keer gestanst, maar deze keer met patroonpapier. 

Vervolgens heb ik het ge-embossed met de prachtige Trellis embossing folder  

Met schuurpapier heb ik het reliëf bewerkt.

*  *  *

4. Nu heb ik alle 3 delen van mijn basis en zijn ze klaar om vastgemaakt te worden zoals getoond is op de foto. Zodra alles vastzit kun je het frame schuren en bijvoorbeeld de Glossy Accents toevoegen

*  *  *

5. Ik heb de ovale Bookplate gestanst en alleen het ovaal zelf gebruikt zodat ik mijn quote kan stempelen.

P.S. Ik heb geprobeerd om niet teveel inkt te gebruiken bij het stempelen zodat het er meer "vintage" uitziet. Nu kun je alles decoreren met de embellishments van je eigen keuze

*  *  *

Have a great day!
