Birthday Set with new printable from Sizzix

Hey crafty people out there,

I hope you had a beautiful week? It´s reeeeeaaaally hot here in Germany the last days and it will be for the next week. But I can´t stop crafting? Are you with me? ;) 

On the Sizzix Facebook Site you can find a link to a new awesome set of free pattern to print at home. I printed them on Vellum and I loooooove how it turned out. All the little cute hearts, it´s so lovely. :) And be sure to follow Sizzix on Facebook to get the newest infos and a loooot of crafty inspirations. But ok, you wanna see what I made with this printable? Scroll down. ;)

We are invited to a birthday party tonight and I can´t wait to give this cute birthday set to the birthdaygirl. A card is an absolutely MUST for birthdays and because she will get a voucher, I made a fitting box with the Big Shot Plus Starter Kit.

The list of supplies:

Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) #660515

Sizzix Framelits Die Set 8PK - Circles #657551

Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 4PK - Decorative Bubbles #660474

Sizzix Bigz Die - Mariposa #658530

Cardstock, sentiment stamps, needle and some twine, felt, vellum to print the pattern on

I love that the butterfly on the card could sit on the flower on the box. ;) I used felt for the flower and the butterfly to create a little more depth and structure on this birthday set.

I thought it´s a little bit boring just to glue the die cuted circles on the card, so I took some twine and a needle to add a cute element.

Do you like this set? And what about the Sizzix pattern? I think it´s perfect for so many reasons. I think I will make some wedding cards with it in the future.

Have a nice weekend everybody, xo Julia

Hallo ihr Lieben,

Foxhead pincushion and small bag in one.

Hi there. So happy you came to check out my Sunday project.
This week I had some fun with a recently released die from the 'Woodland creatures' collection by Debi Potter. It's a cute fox face. I used it to embellish a small bag that I will use for my sewing yarns. At first I was going to give it as a present to my god daughter but in the end I decided to make something else for her...

 

 I used the Bigz die to diecut the pieces for the fox's head from heavy felt. The Bigz dies are wonderful for cutting almost any craft material that is a little heavier.

I stitched together two round pieces of felt to make a round purse. I left a piece open at the top.
I assembled the foxhead and stitched around the edges. I used some black floss to make the eyes and nose. Finally I added a white button so I will be able to close the bag after I put my embroidery wool inside it. -And the good thing is it doubles as a cute pincushion as well :-)

 One more close up.

 I know I will use my Bigz dies with felt or other materials more often. This was great fun!!!

Thanks for taking a look. 

Next Sunday I will be here again and I hope I'll see you here as well <3

Hej, så kul att ni ville titta på mitt Söndagsprojekt!

Denna veckan har jag roat mig med de nya 'Woodland creatures' diesen som gjordes av Debi Potter.

Jag använde det fina rävhuvudet för att dekorera en liten sypåse. Jag hade först tänkt ge den som en present till min guddotter, men bestämde att jag får hitta på något annat till henne :-)

Bigz diesen är suveräna när du behöver stansa ut i material som är tjockare än cardstock eller göra flera lager på en gång. Denna gången stansade jag ut i tjock filt.

Jag sydde ihop två runda delar, men lämnade en öppning upptill. Jag satte ihop huvudets delar och sydde runtom. Sedan broderade jag ögon och näsan på plass med svart briderigarn. Jag satte dit en knapp så den går att stänga..Det som också är bar att 'påsen' dessutom fungerar bra som nåldyna. :-)

Jag måste påminna mig själv att utnyttja mina Bigz dies mera för de är bara fantastiska. Detta var ett lite annorlunda projekt för mig, men sååå kul!!

Tack för att ni tittar inom. Nästa söndag är jag tillbaka igen och då hoppas jag såklart att se er här igen! <3

A fabric cover for my patchwork folder

Thanks  this new adventures with Sizzix , I needed something to schedule my projects. I love notebooks and then I decided to try one of the applique dies . 

Heart is one of my favourite , so I planned a fabric cover for a folder I had bought for it.

I´m in love with  Lecien prints, they are so romantic and so beautiful that I couldn ´t  resist to one of the last collections called " Flower Sugar" , do you know it ? 

I choose the white and the blue one with some of my linen to make my fabric cover.
