Hi everybody!

Now in summer is fancy eating fresh sandwiches, and why can't be prepared in a nice way?

Here you have a step by step tutorial.
Here's the nicest box for you summer favorite sandwich (mine is with seed bread, ham, goat cheese and tomato)



This sandwich and some lemon ice tea is perfect for a summer evening

¡Hola a todo el mundo!

Ahora en verano es de lujo comer sándwichs fresquitos ¿y por qué no se pueden preparar de una manera bonita?

He creado una pequeña caja-packaging muy cuqui para poner nuestro sándwich favorito y poderlo comer de una manera divertida (estoy usando uno de los imprimibles gratuitos de Sizzix que puedes tener si estas suscrito al newsletter).

Arriba tienes un tutorial paso a paso

Tinenes una cajita bonita para tu sándwich veraniego favorito (el mío es con pan de semillas, jamón york, queso de cabra y tomate)

Este sándwich y un poco de té helado de limón es perfecto para una tarde de verano

Y si quieres hacer tu propia y bonita caja de sándwich, tienes una plantilla para imprimir.

Estos son los productos Sizzix que he usado en este proyecto:

Sed muy felices!!

Creative ideas for summer party



Hi everyone, It’s Anna here and I'm so excited to be here today sharing a fun idea for Summer!
I love the new Sizzix Big Shot Plus starter Kit! I’m going to show you how to use this kit and two other dies for your summer party. I used also the nice flower from Botanical Bloom collection design by Craft Asylum.
With a bright yellow selection of lemons and flowers, I created: garland, little baskets and party invites.
There is nothing like enjoying refreshing citrus on a warm summer’s day! ;)

Let's party!!!

Let me explain you how to make the garland:
1- Fold the paper doilies in half.
2- Created your lemon using two circles (cut in half) and three leaves of Starter Kit. Assemble the lemon and add to the doily.
3- Place twine between the layers of any doily and glue together.
4- Cut out more flowers using Bigz Die - Bountiful Botany #2 , I used also a piece of mesh bag of lemons to created a flower. Layer the shapes to created two beautiful flowers and add.
So, is an easy and fun way to set the scene at your next party or celebration!

Sizzix Cutting Pads are now colored in a new delicious flavor: mint!!! With striking color, these deliciously colored Cutting Pads can be easily spotted on any work station.
I used also the useful Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies. For perfect registration, this Magnetic Platform uses high-grade magnets to hold Thinlits, Framelits and other chemically-etched, wafer-thin dies securely in place during cutting.

Per le amiche italiane! :)
Ciao a tutti, sono Anna e sono felice di condividere con voi un'idea divertente per l'estate.
La nuova Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit mi piace tantissimo, non lo nego! Infatti sto per mostrarvi come usare il kit e altre due fustelle per abbellire le feste d'estate. Ho usato anche il delizioso fiore della collezione Botanical Bloom by Craft Asylum.
Con una bella selezione di sfumature gialle, sotto forma di limoni e fiori, qualche tocco di rosa, ho creato diverse decorazioni, come una ghirlanda, dei cestini e naturalmente gli inviti.
Non c'è nulla come gli agrumi per rinfrescare una calda giornata d'estate, non credete?! ;)

I cestini li ho creati con la fustella Thinlits scatolina, mentre ora lasciate che vi spieghi come fare la ghirlanda (in fondo trovate l'elenco dei materiali):
1- Piegare i centrini di carta a metà.
2- Creare i limoni con due cerchi (tagliati a metà) e tre foglie dello Starter Kit. Assemblare il limone e incollarlo al centrino.
3- Mettere lo spago tra gli strati del centrino e incollare insieme.
4- Tagliare diversi fiori utilizzando la fustella Bigz Die - Bountiful Botany #2 , ho usato anche un pezzo di rete dei limoni per creare un fiore, visto che le fustelle Bigz sono in grado di tagliare anche più strati di questo materiale. Sovrapporre le forme di fiori, per creare due bei fiori da mettere all'inizio e alla fine della ghirlanda.
Ecco un modo semplice e divertente per creare un po' di scenografia alla vostra prossima festa d'estate!

Ah avete visto un'altra novità??? Ora i Cutting pads sono anche di colore verde menta!
Sarà capitato anche a voi con quelli completamente trasparenti, di non riuscire a "vederli" sul tavolo di lavoro. Con questo nuovo colore, possono essere facilmente trovati e non si mimetizzeranno più con le carte e tutto il caos creativo che regna sovrano! In policarbonato di alta qualità, questi nuovi cutting pad colorati vi accompagneranno per migliaia di tagli con le vostre amatissime fustelle!

Come si vede dalle foto, per questo progetto ho usato anche la Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies, la piattaforma magnetica, perchè è molto più comoda se si usano le fustelle sottili (Framelits e Thinlits). Queste si appoggiano e non si spostano! Perfetto!

Bene, spero che il progetto di oggi vi abbia ispirato a creare qualcosa di bello con la nuova Big Shot Plus!
Grazie per la visita

Decorated Paper Drinking Straws







Planning summer parties is such a fun activity! I love throwing ice cream parties and making ice tea for my guests. At the moment we always have a jug of strawberry and cranberry ice tea in the fridge for hot summer days.

This week I wanted to do a DIY with some paper straws to make them more fun for a party.


I used the following products for my DIY. I wont list the steps as the photos show how easy these drinking straws are!



I think these are so cute for my glass jars with ice tea. You could even write the guests names on the hearts so people know which drink is theirs.


Are you throwing any summer parties this year?

DIY Summer Party Decorations


Hello! It's Anna posting today.
Party decorations can get expensive, so why not make them yourself? Handmade touches make any party extra special. With Sizzix we have the tools you need to add personal touches to decorations, party favors and more.
I thought I would share these sweet little DIY cocktail recipe cards that I whipped up for my friends of B&B Campodisole for an italian style Party.

I used a Scallop Card to make the card base. I cut out the recipe with a Fancy Label and I used the new Rock 'n Roll Sundae to make some embellishments, to the Sizzix 1950s collection. I Adore it!!! From the phrases of the day to the iconic images, these versatile shapes possess a classic cool that never goes out of style!
