#2 Sizzix Week No Die Inside Pop-Up Card

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to my Blog & Day 2 of my Sizzix week. I am so excited to share this pop-up card with you! Its so cool and you don't need a die to create the pop-up mechanism.  A Lady posted a card like this in my Facebook craft group last week. I thought it was so cool! I found a free template online to create the pop-up ball mechanism. I will put all the links under my YouTube tutorial. You just need to print it off & cut it out.

I used the Love Birds Shadow Box die set from Sizzix to decorate my Card. I love this die set! Its just the cutest thing ever. The little Birds are so sweet. You get everything included like the hearts & Flowers etc. Of course you can decorate your Pop-up card any way you like. I am sure you will make more than one of these! 

The great thing about this card is that it fold down completely flat! Because you add an elastic band inside it creates a kind of spring action. Its not hard to make and you will love it and so will the recipient! 

Below you can find the measurements for the card in metric and imperial.

#1 Sizzix Week Terrarium Gift Box

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Blog and Day 1 of my Sizzix Week!! I am so excited about the next 7 Days! I really have some awesome projects lined up for you! I have had so much fun the last week & its a true pleasure to work with Sizzix products. The quality is second to none & if you have used any of there products you will already know that. 

We are kicking of the week with this gorgeous Terrarium gift box. This would love gorgeous displayed in your house or it would make a beautiful gift for lots of different people. Its a very large box & i am thrilled with the end result.

Sizzix Terrarium Gift Box

The large dies i used to create the windows are just ones i had in my stash. You can you whatever you like though, squares, ovals or even just cut the windows with a craft knife & a ruler. You don't have to use dies. I placed acetate behind so it looks more like a real Terrarium. I added gold card in the bottom of the box for a nice refection & also around the windows. 

The cool thing is when you lift the lid off, the little Terrarium comes out as it is attached to the the lid! If the box gets moved etc it swings & its just so adorable. You get all the flower dies & leaves etc with the die set. I will pop a picture of it below & if you click it you will be taken direct to the sizzix website if you want to purchase it or check it out,

Below you can find the measurements for the Terrarium gift box in metric & imperial.

Easy No Die 3D Shoes & Shoe Box

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for stopping by my Blog today.  I have the most adorable project today! A really cute pair of shoes & a matching Shoe box gift box!! How cute!! 

If you are in my Facebook group, the other day a Lady posted a pair of Shoes like these ones. Lots of people loved them and i said i would do something similar. Its not my idea and the template i found online for free. You can find the link for it under my Youtube tutorial but i will also put it at the end of this blog post.

I came up with the matching Shoe Box myself. I thought it would be so cute & it just looks like a mini Pair of new shoes!  As the title states, no dies are needed, You just download the free shoe PDF, print it off then cut it out. Draw around it on the paper/card you want to use and then cut that out. Its really simple to do. 

I thought it would look really sweet to put the sentiment on the inside of the Shoe. The idea was to make it look like the size label you see inside the shoe. I just stamped mine onto 2 pieces of card measuring 1" x 2" & then used a Black Micron pen to draw some faux stitching around the outside.  I put a Bow on the front of the shoes. Its just a Bow die from Alincrafts that i have in my stash. You could also maybe put a Flower on the front. 

Below you can find the measurements for my Shoe Box in metric & Imperial.

2 PIECES OF CARD MEASURING 12 X 4"
