Home Decor – New Year’s Wreath


Happy Friday everyone,
I hope you spent a happy Christmas and received many gifts.
Today in Italy we celebrate St. Stephen, but I have already carried out a decoration for New Year!
Well, it's almost here, a new year, and what better way to start the celebration than with this wreath.

I made this small wreath to hang on a door using the Sizzix Bigz L Die - Wreath, Banner, Holly & Poinsettia (659997).
It was created using white and gold with just a tiny touch of red.
In the middle I added a word that is full of sparkle and reads the greeting of New Year. I used the Sizzix Originals Die - Phrase, Hello #2 (659956).

Watch how it is How To Make a Wreath, with step by step instructions, in my video:


In no time at all you will have a decoration ready to hang.
Do you do any special decorating for New Year’s?
Thanks for stopping by and I wish each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Buon venerdì a tutti,
Spero stiate passando un buon S. Stefano. Io intanto mi sono già portata avanti, realizzando una decorazione per Capodanno! :D
Beh, la festa per il nuovo anno è proprio dietro l'angolo e per iniziare i festeggiamenti si può accogliere gli invitati con questa luccicante ghirlanda.
Ho creato questa piccola ghirlanda da appendere alla porta con la fustella Sizzix Bigz L Die - Wreath, Banner, Holly & Poinsettia (659997). Avevo anche provato a creare un video tutorial, ma la scheda video del mio computer mi ha abbandonato sul più bello, così non ho potuto montarlo. Lo condividerò comunque, appena posso, anche se le feste saranno terminate. Per il nuovo anno preparatevi a vedere molti (diciamo alcuni) miei video tutorial ;)
Per fare la ghirlanda ho pensato di usare i colori bianco e oro con solo un piccolo tocco di rosso. Ho tagliato due cerchi di cartone con la fustella ed avvolto una striscia di stoffa intorno, per rivestire tutta la ghirlanda.
Ho decorato con fiori glitter e foglie in feltro tutti ritagliati con la fustella.Nel mezzo ho aggiunto il saluto per il nuovo anno, che è tutto luccicante. Per la scritta Hello ho infatti usato la fustella Sizzix Originals Die - Phrase, Hello #2 (659956). Ho terminato aggiungendo i numeri adesivi, il campanellino e lo spago. In pochissimo tempo avrete creato una decorazione pronta da appendere.
Farete dunque qualche decorazione speciale per Capodanno?
Ne approfitto per augurare ad ognuno di voi un FELICE ANNO NUOVO!

Wreath of Snowflakes



I love to make and hang wreaths for all seasons and for this week I've created a wreath of snowflakes. It can be hung now at Christmas time but that can also stay up well into the new year because it is more wintery than Christmassy.
I needed a hoop to work as base for my wreath and I had a metal hoop in my stash that I chose to use. You could cut one out in cardstock if you wanted to create a similar wreath. Using Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3 makes this project a breeze because you can die cut multiple snowflakes in one go. For my wreath I went with three different versions of the same snowflake: 5 in silver foil, a lot in white cardstock and a little fewer made from old book pages.
Now it was just a question of using the hot glue gun to attach the various snowflakes to the metal hoop. I started with a layer of white snowflakes, then a layer of the book page snowflakes and my final layer is a combination of white and silver snowflakes.

I wanted to make sure that my wreath had some dimension and I achieved this by adhering some of the flakes using foam adhesive but I also discovered that I could fold up the ends of some of the snowflakes and thereby get more dimension. I did this to some of the white snowflakes as well as all of the silver ones.


My final step was to tie a large white bow and adhere it using the hot glue gun. I made sure that there weren't any silver flakes under the bow. I also added some silver tread behind the bow so I'll be able to hang the wreath.
Supply list:
Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3
Cardstock
Silver foil cardstock
Old book pages
Metal hoop
Hot glue gun
Foam adhesive
Ribbon
Thread

Jeg holder meget af at lave og hænge kranse op til alle anledningen, og til denne uges post har jeg lavet en krans af store snefnug lavet med Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3. Den kan komme op og hænge nu her til jul, men den kunne såmænd nemt blive hængende ind i det nye år, fordi den er mere vinterlig, end den er decideret julet.

For at kunne forme kransen havde jeg brug for noget rundt, og heldigvis havde jeg en metalring liggende på lager. Man kunne dog også have klippet en krans i karton (gerne lidt kraftigt), hvis man ikke har en lignende ring liggende. Jeg udstansede mængder af snefnug med Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3, hvilket gjorde det her projekt nemt og hurtigt, fordi en Bigz Die kan skære gennem flere ark papir på én gang. Til denne krans valgte jeg udstanse snefnuggene i tre forskellige slags papir: sølvfolie, hvidt karton og gamle bogsider.

Da alle snefnug var udstanset, var det jo bare at sætte i gang med limpistolen og lagvis lime snefnuggene på metalkransen. Jeg startede med et lag hvide snefnug, så et lag i gamle bogsider, og det tredje og sidste lag er et mix af hvide og sølv snefnug.

For at sikre mig at kransen havde noget ekstra dybde, besluttede jeg mig for at montere nogle af fnuggene med 3d-puder. Ydermere fandt jeg ud af, at jeg kunne folde enderne af nogle af fnuggene op, og derigennem få mere dybde. Det sidste gjorde jeg på nogle af de hvide og alle af de sølvfarvede snefnug.

Sidste skridt var at binde en stor hvid sløjfe og lime den fast med limpistolen. Jeg sikrede mig, at der ikke var nogle sølvfnug under sløjfen. For at kunne hænge kransen op bandt jeg tynd sølvtråd i kransen.

Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Bigz Die - Snowflakes #3
Karton
Sølv foliekarton
Gamle bogsider

Socks on the mantel


 
 
 
It is only October but I still work on my Christmas cards. I guess I will have to confess that I love making Christmas cards and actually work on them at all times of the year. This week my card took a turn towards the more distressed / aged look which is something I don't often do.
 
 
 
I designed a card around one of the images from the new and fun Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Christmas Trims. The three sock are really cute and intricate and there is something very cozy about the idea of socks hanging on a mantel.
 
 
 
I diecut the image with the sock in a delicately patterned paper and then I used a small stamp to stamp all along the edge of the diecut. Afterwards I diecut parts of the image to be able to fill in the empty spots in the three socks.
 

 
To make sure the socks were clearly visible against my stamped background I mounted the diecut on a scallopped square cut with the Framelits Die Set 6PK - Squares, Scallop. As a last detail I decided to add some holly to two of the corners of the diecut. The leaved and berries were diecut using the Bigz L Die - Wreath, Banner, Holly & Poinsettia and I think it is so cool that the Bigz dies let you cut multiple leaves at the same time - it is a time saver. To give the berries a little something I added some Wink of Stella to each of them.
 
Supply list:
Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Accessory - Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
Patterned paper (Basic Grey)
Cardstock
Wink of Stella
Jute twine

Det er kun oktober, men jeg er i fuld gang med julekortene. Faktisk holder jeg så meget af jul og julekort, at jeg arbejder på mine kort året rundt. I denne uge tog mit kort en drejning mod det mere rustikke og slidte, hvilket jeg ellers ikke laver ret tit.
 
Jeg designede mit kort med et af motiver fra Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Christmas Trims som mit hovedmotiv. De tre sokker er super nuttede og detaljerede, og der er noget rigtig hyggeligt over ideen om sokker, der hænger på pejsen.
 
Jeg udstansede motivet i et svagt mønstret papir, og derefter brugte jeg et lille tekststempel til at stemple kortets hilsen hele vejen rundt langs motivets kant. Derefter udstansede jeg dele af motivet, så jeg havde til at udfylde hullerne i hver enkelt sok.
 
For at sikre mig at sokkerne stod frem i forhold til den stemplede baggrund, monterede jeg dem på en scallopped firkant, som jeg udstansede med Framelits Die Set 6PK - Squares, Scallop. Som en sidste detalje besluttede jeg at sætte lidt kristtjørn i to af motivets hjørner, og jeg brugte Bigz L Die - Wreath, Banner, Holly & Poinsettia til at lave kristtjørnen. Det er cool, at man kan udstanse flere blade på én gang med Bigz dies - det sparer en lidt tid. For at give bærrene lidt ekstra løb jeg dem over med lidt Wink of Stella.
