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!

Bows for a little boy....









Hello there...

monday was the first day after my boss' baby break.
We bought a present, decorated her office with ballons and garlands...

but...

oh my, i forgot the greeting card....

Sunday night, when we came home from our weekend trip - there was only
time for a simple card...

Fortunately there were some cute Sizzix Bigz Die - Bows waiting for me.
And i knew, my boss would not have loved a kitschy baby card...
Together with a cute speech bubble,  the bows it looks great - don't you think?





















Have a great weekend, Stephanie
