Hi guys ! :) 
I was just going through some sizzix catalogs the other day.  
And here are some Sizzix MUST HAVES!!!  
(according to me)
 These are some of my fav things from sizzix.  
(Caution : Picture Overload ahead !)
 
Always good to have some flowers handy !! love the roses ! Unlike any other   
 
Sizzix Bigz Die - Vintage Camera
Okay if u like edgy 
This one by Tim Holtz is for u ! Love the vintagy feel of it  

 

 
 Another vintage beauty by Tim Holtz
   

This one is my absolute fav. !! Its so amazing with Wedding like themes. 
I love it  !!
 
By now u have already seen my love for the filigree border :) 
Its pretty decorative and i find it really elegant ! 
And i love elegant !
  

This is one die we all need to stock ! 
I personally dont have it , but i have been craving for it for quite some time now 
and i have plans to get my hands on this one!! :) 
don't u just love the flowers and the superb borders?? 
The healequin border is a nice way to finish a project !
I use it alot ! even the scraps it leaves after the die cuts , is super useful ! 


The washer border is a life savior ! thats all i can say !
 It looks good in any project be it vintage or classy.


 Have u heard of these XL score boards dies by sizzix ? They are superb for making 
boxes ! they have such unusual shapes and even in cards they have nice series. 
Its worth a check out. 
 
Another Tim holtz Fav! For all the doily lovers !
But u need a pair of "On the Edge Cutting Pads" with these. 

 Some labels for keepsakes !
  
A Must have !!

This is another embossing folder one needs to have ! 

Another amazing folder !

This is another fav of mine that i often use in my projects. 
The phrases are handy !

 Another handy set of sentiments with a tag and flourish thats good to use.
 
With loving thoughts embossing folder has a silhouette face, a frame to die for ! 


This is one die i want ! Its a flip it card die ,
 where in when u open the card the center piece 
flips !!  Cool right ? 

Well i think thats enough for now :)

A Photo frame !

Hello friends ! Glad to join u again with another post !
I am super busy with lots and lots of work as the dday comes near !
but here is a lil something i made
A Photo Frame !! 

Okay first up I got myself a MDF Square photo frame
From Hobby ideas, It looks something like this.
So i turned this into 
this !! 
Here is what i did
I first applied white gesso and stuck 
the Sizzix Sizzlits Decorative Strip Die - Filigree Border 
Isnt it pretty ??
I wanted that unfinished raw look for the frame 
so i went on carelessly dabbing some gesso on top of the lace.
 Used Distress inks in two tones on the die cut lace
TUMBLED GLASS Blue  & PEELED PAINT Green 
to get the desired effect. 
After the die was adhered in place and when the gesso was dry , 
It looked something like above. 
I then tried my placement of flowers and butterflies and 
when i was happy with it I modge podged the whole frame 
and quickly adhered the embellishments in place too. 

The flowers are handmade and can be made on order.
The butterflies are stamped with  Inkadinkado REACH FOR THE SKY Clear MINI
And then colored with pencils.
I used the  Maya Road OLIVIA ALPHABET MINI Chipboard letters
For the Sentiment. 
Dipped them in the precious "clear white pixie dust" by pie lane !


Finished my frame with some grey Pie lane glitter balls ... Gorjusss!!!
Oh yes :) so much IN LOVE with this project ! 
I would love to know your thoughts on this ! 
Thanks for stopping by ! 
XO

Sizzix post - Candy cup flower arrangement

Okay !! since i gave a sneak peak of this on our fan page , 
and got so many likes , i couldn't wait to post it.
After visiting the sizzix blog for new releases and ideas 
i got really inspired by the flower pots made by Anna-Karin 
so i decided to make some for myself too !!
Eileen has designed some really cool dies for sizzix that i cant resist using!!! 
I am a big fan of hers ! 
 
 Here is a closup of the flowers , They are done with 
Awee those are amazing !
inked them with Distress ink pads
  
Sentiment by Prima cling stamps. 
 
 Since i didnt have a gauze handy , i used cotton and sprayed green color 
all over it. (The green u see underneath the flowers is the cotton.)
And some wire to support the bird and the butterfly 
 And this is the second one with the bird.
Hope u enjoyed this :) 
Good night ! 
XO
