Hello and happy Valentine's Day. We sure do need more love all around. Don't you agree? What with so much hatred and war and crime against children. Here is a card and a quick and easy Pocket Card how-to. This is how the pocket looks like inside A little bit of how-to on how to make this 5 mins pocket gift card. As easy as 1-2-3 :) If you make anything like this, please leave a link here. I'd LOVE to visit. Cheers and LOTS of love, Jaya PS: Apologies for the not-so-nice pictures

I love the fact that the Sizzix Bigz dies cut more than just paper. Like this for instance. I die cut magnetic sheets! And made these super cool magnets – which are mini scenes by themselves The finished magnet is the same same size as what you see here. See how those fine die cuts sit so nicely with each other without crowding each other! Aren’t those birds super cute?   And the word collage is a die cut too. I’ve kept a theme of love and swirls on the flower trio. But this is something you can easily adapt to any theme. Since the entire base is a magnet – you can easily use it for displaying on your fridge or the CPU in office. A love note on the fridge, maybe? :) Or let the magnets be your love note What went in – not much for the amount of stuff you see there! 655268 - Sizzix Big Shot 657051 - Sizzix Bigz Die - Flower Layers #6   - The base flower magnet.

One named Arpana and the other named.. well, don't have a name yet :) Did you know, the Sizzix Bigz dies cut more than just paper? And with such fabulous results too! My 4yo daughter K and I went shopping the other day and she wanted to pick these hair clips everywhere. I kept promising her I'll make her some in her favouring Pink. What are promises if they aren't kept, eh? ;) Here is a easy hair clip you can make in 10 mins or less. The how to Die cut the entire die with two felt pieces - I chose Pink and Orange Cut a smaller piece of Green felt for just the size of the biggest flower - yes, I am very careful like that Glue Pink+Orange+Pink flowers together using Hot Glue Gun and top it with a white button Cut out two leaves with the Green felt flower and stick it on the back with hot glue again Glue the entire thing together on to an over-sized tic-tac clip Clip on to you little flower's soft hair and click a picture So pre...

Hello and Happy New Year. May God bless you with a healthy, happy New Year filled with His peace. My first post of the year. Thanks for the applause :) I’d embossed some white Fabriano card stocks with gorgeous Sizzix folders and left them on my messy table for inspiration. And this is what I came up with. I love the strip of Scalloped border from Sizzix – Border and Hydrangeas . These work so well with Scrapbook layouts as well as cards. Don’t you think? I’m stamping a sentiment directly on the Patterned Paper – it took away the stress of adding another strip of paper. NOTE: If you want to emboss – always stamp and then emboss :) Once I photographed this, I wanted to see what a bit more of green can do to this and this is where I arrived at Though the green strip adds a bit more colour, I think right now I prefer the first version. What’s your take? What went in Sizzix die cut border -  Border and Hydrangeas Sizzix embossing folder - Psychedelic Dreams Set by Rac...
