These Are Treasured Memories {Dusty Attic}

Hi There!

Today I am sharing with you my take on this month's moodboard.

I totally love the colours of the moodboard. I knew at once which photo 

I want to scrap with these blues and greens. I added bold red touches to 

give some Christmas feeling to my project. 

PRODUCTS  I  USED:

Dusty Attic Flower Stamens

Dusty Attic These Are Treasured Memories

Dusty Attic Starry Night Stencil

Dusty in Colour Oceania

Dusty in Colours Jungle Green

˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜

I didn't doubt for a second to use all of the Flower Stamens chippies. 

Aren't they simply fabulous! I painted them with gesso, then with 

Dusty in Colour Oceania and finally I adhered an epoxy sticker in the centres.

The title was treated first with a layer of gesso. After that I distressed it

with both Dusty in Colour: "Oceania" and "Jungle Green".

The modelling paste was mixed with Dusty in Colour Jungle Green.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

49 and Market "Sand and Sea" paper collection

49 and Market paper flowers

Various Sizzix dies

Christmas Decorations {Sizzix}

Hi There!

Today I am sharing two Christmas Decorations that I created recently

using Sizzix dies. I used various mediums for these projects.

For this first heart decoration I layered corrugated cardboard, jute and 

sort of anti-slip underlay (used for carpets).

#658260 Sizzix Bigz Dies Christmas Cardinal 

I used here the same Sizzix Hanging Heart Bigz Die but this time using fabric.

The snowflakes I used come from my old Sizzix stash. They are designed by 

Paula Pascual. The dies come with stamps and I absolutely adore them. 

Thanks for visiting me today!

Santa {Sizzix}

Hi There!

Today I am sharing a very simple and easy to re-create layout.

I've used different Sizzix dies to decorate the photo of my daughter.

˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜

#662422 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 10PK Snowman Scene

#658261 Sizzix Bigz Die Tattered Poinsettia

#660040 Sizzix Bigz Die w/Texture Fades Layered Snowflake

˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜

To create this layout I used 49 and Market pattern paper twice.

Once I used it for the background and once I used it to die cut snowflakes.

After die cutting the snowflakes I adhered them precisely the way 

the background paper is i.e. vertically along with the stripes.

The sparkle die I used is an oldie from Sizzix but I love it so much

and I couldn't help using it.

The snowman was so much fun to make.

I used only white card stock and markers to color it in.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

49 and Market "Cottage Life" Rooster Row

Dusty Attic "Word Tags #2" (black)

˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜

I hope you enjoyed my project today!
