Having fun with Balsa wood!







Hi everybody!

Have you ever wondered how you can die cut wood with Big Shot?

Today I want to tell how I like to do; I use balsa wood with Bigz dies. But there’s another surprise: also is possible to texture it with the embossing folders with fantastic results (And I love that!).


With all of this, I created three handmade cards that can be used on many occasions. Want to know how I done?



First I created a background with the Distress Ink and water technique you’ve often seen, but in this occasion I’m using Archival Ink, and alcohol.

I'm using the Bigz die with Texture Fades Buttterfly duo, it's beautiful! And in this case (the card in the center) I'm applying Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and Mustard Seed Distress Stickles.

Some details of my die cut balsa wood cards 

As you saw in the step by step, Sizzix products I'm using in this projects are:

hola a todas/os!

¿Te has preguntado alguna vez cómo se puede troquelar madera con la Big Shot?

Hoy quiero contaros cómo me gusta hacerlo a mi; yo uso la madera de balsa con los troqueles Bigz. Pero hay otra sorpresa: también es posible darle textura con las carpetas de embossing con resultados fantásticos (y me encanta eso!). 

Con todo esto, he diseñado tres tarjetas que se pueden utilizar en muchas ocasiones ¿Quieres saber como las he hecho?

Primero he creado un fondo con la técnica que muchas veces habrás visto hacer con las tintas distress y agua, pero esta vez usando tinta Archival y alcohol.

He usado el troquel Bigz con carpeta de embossing Buttterfly duo, que es precioso! Y en este caso (para la tarjeta del centro) le he aplicado tinta Distress Rusty Hinge y Distress Stickies Mustard Seed.

Como habéis visto en el paso a paso, los productos Sizzix utilizados para este proyecto son:


Sed muy felices!!

Bente's last minute Christmas cards


 


Hi Sizzix friends!
Today I am sharing some last minute Christmas cards using the basic oval shape and a couple of the new sets this Winter.

 I used the ovals die to cut out a sweet vintage picture of  some wintery children I used the largest oval for this one.


Here I used  the Tim Holtz 'Holiday block words' and one of the snowflakes from a lovely set by Paula Pascual.

For the next one I used the Tim Holtz 'Holiday greens' die with four different  seasonal leaf/twig shapes.


And here finally is a picture of all three cards in the set.

So you see,...if you have not yet finished your cards it's still not too late.
Making a few simple but cute cards is so easy :-)

The dies I used are:
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Holiday Greens
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 17PK - Holiday Words: Block
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Winter Borders & Rosette
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Ovals

The lovely papers are by the Polish manufacturer Lemoncraft

Bentes Christmas tree decorations for week 3.

 

 

 Hi, I am back this Sunday to share some decorations I made for my tree using the beautiful free download papers and a few of my favourite dies.


De dies I used were the scalloped circle , the oval and  and the snowflake from the Winter borders & rosette set.


 I added pop dots between the layers to add some more interest to my ornaments.

I hope you like my ornaments and will try making them. It's a nice thing to do in family with in the kids as they are pretty straight forward to make and the design can be varied to make different styles.

The supplies I used were:
Free downloadable papers

Oval shaker


 
 
 
This week I wanted to show how you can use basic shapes to make your own shaker boxes to be used on cards or other projects.
 

I used a scallopped and a plain oval to make my shaker element and then I decorated it with a white oval and a few butterflies. I mounted the whole thing on a piece of cardstock embossed using the Flourish Set embossing folder.


Making a shaker element doesn't have to be difficult.
1. Using Sizzix Accessory - Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies and two coordinating dies die cut the outer shape of your shaker.
2. Using the same die as you used for the inner circle, and one that is a bit larger, die cut a piece of foam.
3. Make a sandwich consisting of the outer shape, a piece of clear cardstock and the foam shape.
4. The last step is to make a background for the shaker element, stamp on it (if you want to).


Now you fill the shaker with glitter, sequins or other goodies that can move around when the recipient shakes the card. Glueing the background to the foam shape will make the shaker element tight and nothing will drop out of it when it is shaken.

Supply list:
Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)
Sizzix Accessory - Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
Sizzix Framelits Die Set 4PK - Ovals, Scallop

Stamp: Sizzix, Papertrey Ink

 I denne uge vil jeg vise jer, hvordan man kan bruge enkle, almindelige former til at lave egne shakerelementer, som man kan bruge på kort eller andre projekter.

Jeg brugte en scallopped og en glat oval til at lave mit shakerelementer, og så dekorerede jeg det med en hvid oval strimmel og lidt sommerfugle. Hele molevitten monterede jeg på et stykke karton, som jeg havde embosset med embossingfolderen fra Flourish Set.

Det behøver ikke være vanskeligt at lave et shakerelement:
1. Brug Sizzix Accessory - Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies og to koordinerende dies til at lave omkredsen af dit shakerelement.
2. Brug den die du havde inderst i ovenstående mix sammen med en, der er lidt større, til at udstanse et stykke mosgummi, som skal give shakerelementet højde.
3. Lav en sandwich af omkredsen, gennemsigtigt karton og mosgummi.
4. Sidste skridt er at lave en baggrund, som du kan stemple på, hvis du vil det.

Nu fylder du dit shakerelement med glitter, pailetter eller andre fine sager, som kan bevæge sig, når kortets modtager ryster kortet. Når du limer baggrunden fast på mosgummiet, slutter shakerboxen tæt, og der burde ikke ryge noget ud, når kortet rystes.

Try diecutting your photos too!!



Hi! today I have a page in lovely bright colours to share. I had two rather similar pictures that I wanted to use on the same page, and to add a bit of pizazz I decided to try die cutting them. 
I quite like the look and will definitely do that again. I diecut another oval slightly larger to 
act as a frame to make the photo stand out more from the background, 
I embellished these frames with liquid pearls.



 These are the Sizzix products that I used:


I also used patterned papers from Les Papiers de Pandore and flowers from Prima Marketing and Petaloo.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hejsan! Idag har jag en sida att visa som går i ljusa fina vårfärger.
Jag hade två liknande foton som jag ville använda tillsammans och bestämde mig för att prova skära runt dom med en die. Jag gillar verkligen hur det blev och kommer göra det många fler gånger. Jättekul! Jag skar ut en oval som var snäppet större än fotot också för att ha som en liten ram. Sedan pyntade jag denna med lite liquid pearls.

Här är Sizzix produkterna jag använde:


Jag använde också vackra papper från Les Papiers de Pandore och underbara blommor från 
Prima Marketing och Petaloo.
Hugs/Kram!!

Easter Chickens





With Easter rapidly approaching I took the opportunity to decorate an egg carton with chocolate-eggs in it. Since I made the box for a little girl I wanted it to be playful and fun so I decided to use one of the birds from Sizzix Bigz Die - Birds #3.


1. Using the Magnetic Platform and a die from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Ovals I was able to cut a rounded edge on the pattern paper I wanted to dress the egg carton in.
2. Once I had achieved the rounded edge on the paper I attached it to the egg carton using a fast drying liquid glue.
3. Before closing the carton I wrapped all four eggs in pink tissue paper.


4. I wanted the birds to sit perched on top of the box and in order to achieve this I attached a strip of paper to the back of each die cut bird.
5. To hide the paper strip I die cut birds in plain cardstock and glue to the back of each bird.
6. Next up I decorated the birds with googly eyes, beaks and combs. Once that was done I attached the birds to the egg carton using glue dots.


I tied a ribbon around the box, closed it with a bow and then attached a tag with the name of the recipient on it. The tag was made with one of the dies from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 12PK - Tags, Sentiments.

Her lige før påske benyttede jeg chancen til at dekorere en æggebakke med chokoladeæg i til en lille pige. Da æsken netop var til et barn, besluttede jeg mig for at lave den sjov, og til det formål brugte jeg en af fuglene fra Sizzix Bigz Die - Birds #3.

1. Ved hjælp af Magnetic Platform og en die fra Sizzix Framelits Die Set 7PK - Ovals kunne jeg udstanse en fin buet kant på det papir, jeg havde tænkt at pynte kartonen med.
2. Da jeg først havde rundet kanten af, kunne jeg montere papiret på æggebakken med en hurtigt tørrende lim.
3. Før jeg lukkede æggebakken, pakkede jeg alle fire chokoladeæg ind i pink silkepapir.
4. Jeg ville have fuglene til at sidde på toppen af æggebakken, og for at det kunne lade sig gøre, limede jeg en strimmel papir på bagsiden af hver fugl.
5. Ekstra udstansninger i almindeligt karton skjuler papirstrimlen.
6. Efter at have dekoreret fuglene med rulleøjne, næb og hanekamme limede jeg dem på æggebakken med gluedots.

Slutteligt bandt jeg et bånd omkring æggebakken, lukkede med en sløjfe og hang en tag med pigens navn på fra sløjfen. Taggen lavede jeg med en dies fra Sizzix Framelits Die Set 12PK - Tags, Sentiments.
