MERRY AND BRIGHT CARD | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello everyone! Welcome back. This card is for Sizzix Lifestyle. The overall card design was inspired by Timholtz 2018 Idea-ology Holiday Cover Photo. I hope Tim and you guys don't mind me :p

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Sizzix Big Shot Express Machine Only (White & Gray)
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 9PK - Garden Greens
• Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Holiday Greens

CARD DETAILS

I started by die-cutting the Holiday Greens and Garden Greens Thinlit Dies out of Canson Watercolor Paper and water colored them with Candied Apple, Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint Distress Inks. 

Next I distressed the background panel with Candied Apple Distress Ink and then added stripes with water and Picket Fence Distress paint. Then I added splatters of water and Picket Fence ink with paint brush for the snowy effect.

To the edges of the card panel I added Picket Fence Distress Paint.

I adhered all the water colored die-cuts with Tacky Glue and stamped the sentiment from CP Designs with Archival Jet Black Ink.

That's all for today. Thank you so much for visiting. Take care and I'll see you next time! :)

TRINKET BOX | DIY | SIZZIX LIFESTYLE

Hello hello everyone! I am so happy that we have entered the season of Love, Happiness and Kindness! Today I am here with a DIY project made using almost with scraps from my stash. It's a Trinket Box! I always wanted to make a project like this finally I am here with it. It is not perfect but I like it though! 

Products from Sizzix Lifestyle

• Big Shot Express Machine
• Holiday Greens Thinlit Dies
• Garden Greens Thinlit Dies
• Angel #2 Bigz Die
• Meadow Leaves Thinlit Dies

PROJECT DETAILS

I started by cutting down the card board pieces and adhered the pattern paper from Papericious. Next I applied a coat of Egyptian Gold Pigment Paint to the edges and rubbed randomly over it.

I adhered a strip as shown above for the easy opening and closing mechanism. It wasn't that good but the over all look of the box is cool.

I die-cut the leaves from Holiday Greens, Garden Greens and Meadow Leaves out of a few scrap papers and applied a coat of gold pigment paint. I adhered all the leaves forming a wreath.

I also die-cut Angel #2 from Papericious, applied Stardust Glitter to it's wings and wrapped golden time to it's body.

I adhered the wreath over the box and followed by Angel. I foam mounted the Angel for some dimension.

Finally I embellished the Angel with a few golden gems. I hope you like it :)

Sizzix Lifestyle | Little Robin | Video

This Little Robin is one of the cutest dies from Sizzix Lifestyle Chapter 3 release. When I first saw this thinlit I knew that I am going to make a Christmas Card. I thought the Holiday Greens thinlits by Timholtz would match perfectly to Little Robin and yes! they sure did! I really like the bright contrast colors on my projects, it's all depends on my mood! ;)

I started by running Canson Montval Water Color Paper and thinlit dies through the Bigshot Express Machine. Then I water colored the die-cut using Camlin Brush Pens. 

Then I cut brown card stock exactly the same of the main card base and adhered all the die-cuts as shown above. 

To mimic the snow I added droplets of Picket Fence Distress Paint Dauber. 

And finished my card by stamping the sentiment in white ink and dusted off with Perfect Pearls.

I have filmed a video, you can watch it here or at my YouTube Channel. Enjoy!

The above card was inspired by one of previous makes!

I have a video for this one also! Enjoy!

Thank you so much for stopping by. See you soon! :)
