SIMPLE CHRISTMAS POP UP CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Eve. I was so busy for the last couple of weeks that I couldn't find to update my blog daily. But my YouTube channel and Instagram were active. I have a few projects to share so keep reading! :)

WATCH & ENJOY

After making this POP UP CARD (one of my most viewed videos) I decided to make another pop up card with pretty simple steps. All the products I used here are from Sizzix Lifestyle.

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Sizzix Sidekick Starter Kit (White & Gray)
• Sizzix Accessory - Cardstock Sheets, 80PK (20 Colours)
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 16PK - Festive Set
• Sizzix Thinlits Die - Pop Up House

Originally the pop up house thinlit die is meant for making pop up cards but I used it in a different way. Watch the video above to learn how I made it.

I kept the card front simple as there was so much going inside! And that 'Merry Christmas' was handwritten.

BIRD HOUSE PROJECT | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hi everyone! Welcome back! Today's project is going to be a DIY Christmas room decor project. It is very beautiful and easy to make. Christmas is just around the corner so projects like this would easily spice up your room. I made it just in twenty minutes and all the products I used here are from Sizzix Lifestyle. :)

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Sizzix Bigshot Express Machine
• Sizzix Aviary Bigz Die
• Sizzix Festive Set Thinlit Dies
• Sizzix Accessory - Cardstock Sheets
• Sizzix Accessory - Glitter 3PK (White, Gold, Silver)
• Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles

BIRD HOUSE PROJECT DETAILS

I started by die-cutting the largest circle framelit die from Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles out of light blue card stock with the help of Sizzix Bigshot Express Machine. Then I distressed the edges with Sizzix Accessory - Multi-Tool and applied Vintage Photo Distress Ink to the edges of the circle.

I die-cut the Sizzix Aviary Bigz Die and leaves from Sizzix Festive Thinlie Dies out of white card stock and colored them with Candied Apple, Peeled Paint and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.

I die-cut the roof of the bird house from felt just to mimic the snow. 

I adhered all the elements over the circle panel with glue. Then I applied glue to some areas on the project with a paint brush and sprinkled some white glitter. This white glitter is so smooth and soft,  just like snow! Love it. 

Finally finished the card with some twine. That's the project for today. I hope you like it. See you soon with another project! :)

VINTAGE CHRISTMAS SCENE | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello everyone! I love making this type of cards - artsy, colorful, little vintagy and with touch of  picture book style. I questioned myself why always cars carry Christmas trees, why not mopeds? The idea of Mopeds carrying Christmas tree lead me to make this card. Please check my old video - Car Carrying a Christmas Tree. :)

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Sizzix Big Shot Express Machine Only (White & Gray)
• Sizzix Bigz Die - Moped
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 16PK - Festive Set
• Sizzix Bigz Die - Evergreen

CARD DETAILS

I started by die-cutting the Moped and Evergreen Bigz Dies out of Canson water color paper with the help of Bigshot Express Machine. Then I water colored the die-cuts with Candid Apple, Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint distress inks. Once the die-cuts were dry, I assembled them with Tacky Glue.

I took Canson water color paper as my base and ink smooshed the background with Broken China Distress Ink. I also added splatters of Broken China and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. I didn't want the paper to soak up all the ink splatters completely so I blotted the excess, this resulted in getting a faint dull background which I was expecting for. Then I sponged some Vintage Photo Distress Ink at the edges of the panel for a defined look.

Then I adhered all the die-cuts over the panel, I tied the tree to the Moped with a twine as if the Moped was carrying the tree. Finally added splatters of white paint for some snowy effect and also added ground to the Moped with the same white paint. Lastly I finished the card with a die-cut sentiment called 'Joy'. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello my dear crafty friends! How are you all? :)

Today I have a sweet Christmas Card for you. I've used the 'cat' die-cut from Sizzix Halloween Thinlit Die Set many times now and I don't know why I am very fond of it. I'm not a cat person but this cute cat stole my heart. I wanted to use and include it in each and every make I do! Do you have any stamp or die-cut that you like the most? Please let me know in the comment section below! :D
