which is included in this amazing Big Shot Starter Kit,

combined of course with the matching Butterfly thinlits.

I die cut twice the "winter wishes" using two different

colours cardstock. After that I exchanged the letters and

used one of them for my tag.

The Tattered Poinsettia was die cut from vellum.

For the center I used tiny parels.

One of the Decorative Trees was used here as greenery and not as a tree.

Christmas Cards by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday friends!

I am sharing today two Christmas cards which I created 

while giving a Sizzix demo at Dhondt Hobby Products 

Open Days in Desselgem, Belgium.

For the base of the first card I used the Tickets framelits dies to create a double card.

After die cutting the Tattered Poinsettias I embossed them by using

 the Springtime Background embossing Folder. 

Then I used ink to distress (more to pop up) the embossed parts.

For the back of the card I used once again the three first die cut 

  and then embossed Tattered Poinsettias.

For the centers of the Tattered Poinsettia I used the stars which 

were leftover from the die cut  Christmas Stockings.

Added some Stickles as a final touch.

The  Christmas Stockings were die cut from self-adhesive red foam.

For the second card I die cut the decorative frames from

white cardstock and glitter cardstock.

"Hello Sunshine" Card by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!

Today I am sharing with you a card I created for not a 

particular occasion - it was simply fun to create a window

card by using the Circles framelits dies.

660515 Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit

660804 Sizzix thinlits Die Set Happiness Phrases 

660500 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Intricate Tribal Florals

659573 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Spring Greenery

657551 Sizzix Framelits Die Set Circles

656551 Sizzix Bigz Die Birds

*       *       *

After die cutting a circle in the middle of my double card 

I began decorating it by adding first the bird. 

After that I adhered the Happiness Phrases - 

these are attached to the card only by the ends.

Then I added the layered flower and the Spring Greenery .

I used two sorts of the Intricate Tribal Florals to create my flowers.

The Bird was die cut from corrugated cardboard and pattern paper. 

In this way it makes it steady and dimensional. 

Thank you for visiting us today!

Have a creative Sunday!
