Make a card with the envelope die by Paula Pascual


Hi! Today I would like to share a card that I made using the new Square Envelope Die for the Big Shot Plus.


For this project you will need:


Card and adhesives


I die cut the envelope using hot pink card.


Using the scored lines as a guide, I trimmed two of the opposite triangles.


I folded the other two to make sure the scoring lines were properly marked. Then, I placed one of the detail Thinlit dies that come in the set. You get 5 different ones so there is plenty to choose from. I secured it with tape.


Because of the amount of detail, before lifting the die I always turn it around to make sure that I have cut it through. Usually with 2 passes it is perfectly cut, but it will depend on the card.


To remove all the small intricate die cuts, I used the Die release Brush and mat.


I then die cut the circle with the flower Thinlit in and the spiky one, all three dies included on the set. I die cut the spiky one out of light pink, but then preferred in white.


Finally I added a piece of lighter pink for contrast and then the seal.
This would make a lovely wedding invite, I would print the text in the light pink paper and make it double, like a card within a card.


And there it is finished. Very simple with gorgeous detail!
I hope you like it too!

Recycling maps for cards and layouts by Paula Pascual


Last week I recorded a little segment for a UK TV program called The Crafty Beggars in which I showed some of my projects upcycling old papers including maps. Inspired by that I created two projects using old maps and the Big Shot Starter kit, one card and one quick layout. Maps are great as they have pattern, colour and they are free!



I just used the Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit  | 659765, maps, a used stamp, white and Kraft card, cork and spray ink.


Before I did anything, I glued the thin old map paper on to white card using spray adhesive. Then I die cut it using the larger Framelit heart from the Starter kit.
I then layer them together over a square piece of Kraft card. I attached it using foam pads and then added it to the card.


Finally, I added this lovely used stamp - rescued from a packaged sent from my best friend from the USA - and glued it to the card.


To make this quick and easy layout, I simply trimmed a piece of white card to measure 6 x8 inches. I spray gently the colours on the card and let then dry. Then I die cut the 1 from the map using one of the circle dies and the Heart using a cork thin sheet.

I hope you like it and inspires you to make use of those old maps and books laying around!

Sparkle & Shine Christmas cards



Hi Everyone! This is Anna.
I cannot believe we have reached October already! Maybe it isn’t such a strange idea to be thinking about Christmas cards right now ;)
Here are two cards that I created using some Thinlits dies from Winter Wonderland collection by Craft Asylum.
When I make Christmas cards, I tend to like to use non-traditional Christmas colors…

christmas-card-sizzix-big shot-deer by cafecreativo (2)
 
For this card, I started with my pink base, that I created with spray ink.
I die cut the deer from gold glitter paper. I added the sentiment from the same collection. I die cut "joy" from card and then I glued above vellum banner.
Isn't the deer so cute?

For this card, I used the new Christmas trees dies. I love the little trees in this set! The sentiment is from the same collection. I die cut it from white paper and glue above vellum, to create the feeling of a chilly card.
I added tiny stars and rhinestone.

Ciao a tutti! Sono Anna.
Non riesco a credere che siamo già in Ottobre! Quindi forse, non è così folle pensare già ai biglietti di auguri natalizi. Dobbiamo pur portarci avanti ;)
Nel post di oggi vi mostro due card che ho creato con alcune fustelle Thinlits della collezione Winter Wonderland by Craft Asylum.

Quando creo le card di Natale, cerco di variare un po' provando anche altre combinazioni di colori, oltre a quella tradizionale bianco, rosso e verde.
Per la prima card, sono partita da una base rosa, che ho creato spruzzando l'inchiostro spray su un foglio di carta bianco..
Ho tagliato il cervo dalla carta oro glitter, usando la Big Shot e la fustella. Ho aggiunto il “sentiment”, della stessa collezione di fustelle. Ho dunque fustellato "joy" dal cartoncino, che ho poi incollato sopra un banner di carta da lucido.
Non è carino il cervo glitter?
 
Per il secondo biglietto ho usato le fustelle Thinlits con gli alberi di Natale. Mi piacciono proprio gli alberelli di questo set! Volevo che la composizione sembrasse quasi una finestra con una tenda.
Ho fustellato la frase dal cartoncino bianco e incollato sopra ad un pezzo di carta da lucido, per creare la sensazione di “ghiaccio” ;)
Ho aggiunto quindi qualche stellina e uno strass.
 
Questo è tutto... Spero vi sia piaciuto il mio progetto oggi.
 
Buon week end!
Al prossimo Venerdì!
