Valentine's card using the Sizzix Big Shot Starter kit

So, this is this week's third posting, but don't get use to it! For someone who is not too keen on this day, I surely give it a lot of attention.

I thought I would share the card I made for my husband for this years Valentine's Day.

I was inspired by the frame with the scalloped hearts that I shared the other day.

I used this time the Sizzix Big Shot Starter kit die cutting the largest Heart from the Bigz die and the Framelit. As patterned papers I used Carte Postale from Basic Grey. And instead of red, I coloured the inner heart green as it is my husbands favourite colour.

Simple, muted colours that I hope Omar will like!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday I shared a card and a little box done using just one set of Framelits dies - Sizzix Framelits Die Set 4PK - Hearts, Scallop #2. As I explained yesterday,  I made these projects a couple of years ago for an article for Sizzix. It was a featured called One Die many ways, which sometimes is very challenging. However, this one turned up one of my all time favourite projects.

As the base paper I used an old book pages. As they are very fragile and I intended to spray them, I sprayed Craft Mount to a piece of off white smooth card covered in the old book pages, then repeat the same on the back, die cut and then spray. This extra step will make the hearts last the spraying and the hanging

Walking back from the doctors I found this branch on the sidewalk and thought that will come in handy one day. Indeed it was for this project. I used a silver thin thread to attach them together. To colour the dies I used Dylusions sprays. Here I used Postbox Red, Lemon Zest, Fresh Lime, Squeezed Orange.

This was my favourite project from the set. Using the largest die, one medium one and the smallest, die cut them all out of book pages and coloured only the smallest. I folded them and glue them to each other on the spine. The pearl is one of the Tim Holtz Baubles. The paper is Basic Grey.

I hope you like them.
Happy Valentine's Day for friday!

Valentine's Day - hit or miss

I have never been keen on Valentine's Day. In Spain there was no victorian tradition, it is a rather tacky commercial event. But once I overlooked my preconceptions about Valentine's Day, I am quite happy to received flowers or chocolates!

Using just one set of Framelits dies - Sizzix Framelits Die Set 4PK - Hearts, Scallop #2 - I made these projects a couple of years ago for an article for Sizzix. It was a featured called One Die many ways, which sometimes is very challenging. However, this one was one of my all time favourite projects.

A fairly simple card, using the largest and the smallest heart die. To colour the dies I used Dylusions sprays, which are one of my favourites as I just love the colours, so bright and they work really well mixing them up.

With hearts you can always make 3D roses. I added some gold shimmer spray.
