Studio Calico HANDMADE November kit

Hello dear blog readers!

Today's is the 28th and that means??? The Studio Calico REVEAL gallery is up on the website!

I've been very productive this month! For once, this kit wasn't my most favorite (you know that, every time I get the new kit in the mail, it becomes instantanetly my new favorite) but, the more I looked at it, the ore I felt inspired! And I managed to make 6 layouts

I bought 3 Add-ons (Add-on 2, 3 & 4), one of them was the December Daily kit (that I haven't worked on yet).

So here are my layouts for November :) My first one is about LOOOOOOOOOOVE :)

This one is a funny one to me! Everytime Damien and I work on the magazine and we do chats to talk about stuff, Damien can't help making me laugh with those funny iChat weird faces! :)

A sweet layout about my cousin Jessica...I used the exclusive SC die-cut paper as a mask on this layout.

A layout about me. I'm a dreamer, did you know it?

This is my Main Kit only layout made with Handmade.

 A layout about my friendship with Karine :) This girl is dear to my heart :)

and here's the AMAAAAAAAAZING December Daily kit created in collaboration with Ali Edwards! Every year, Ali Edwards is doing her December Daily project on her blog. 

I bought this one and I can't wait to get started!

and soooo many surprises coming over at Studio Calico :)

Spotlight on the Sizzix Framelits

A new layout on the Sizzix Framelits.

For this layout, I used Studio Calico October kit, Field Guide. 

And here are the Framelits I used for this layout : the Framelits circles & the Framelits scalloped circles.

 

What you see is what you get with Framelits: easy cropping of photos, precise cutting of windows in a card and even 3-D layering.

In addition, the design of a Framelits Die allows for perfect registration (with no ridges to obscure), which is useful for stamped images or sentiments.

Looking for perfect registration with stamps? These Framelits Die Sets come with a matching stamp set to complement your next project.

Here's a photo of my Framelits dies :

And my layout.

I used my Framelits both on paper and photo paper, which worked great! :)

 

 

 

 

I have so many more ideas with those Framelits : my Christmas cards, home decorations, mini albums!

I got an email from a reader saying that she is very tempted to get herself a Big Shot after seeing what I've been doing with it :) but she doesn't know what she actually needs to get started.

To get started, get yourself the Big Shot Starter kit first :

In the Starter kit, you get the machine, the mutlipurpose platform (that allows you to cut and emboss) and the 2 see-through cutting pads.

That's all you need to get started!

Of course, you need to purchase dies and/or embossing folders :)

If you buy regular Sizzix dies or Kesiart dies (those that cut paper only), you will just need the multipurpose platform and the cutting pads.

If you use BIGZ dies, no need to use the multipurpose platform.

You will need to purchase extra cutting pads and platform to use XL dies.

And a list of the items I used...

hugs!
