Oggi vi mostro un progetto a cui ho lavorato nelle ultime settimane per dei piccoli regali per amici e colleghi.
Un paio di mesi fa ho acquistato una favolosa fustella per fare le scatoline a forma del brick del latte e ho finalmente tirato fuori il set di fustelle a uovo comprato l'anno scorso e non ancora utilizzato!
Ho creato più di venti scatoline in cui ho messo degli ovetti di cioccolato della mia marca preferita.
Le foto sono piuttosto scure perché quando le ho fatte era cattivo tempo e non c'era abbastanza luce naturale.
Good morning, crafters!
Today I'm showing you a project I have been working at in the last weeks to give little gifts to friends and colleagues. A couple of months ago I bought a great die to make little boxes and I also took from my drawer a dies set I bought last year and I had not used yet!
I created more than twenty boxes and I put in each of them some little chocolate eggs of my favourite brand.
The photos are not so good because when I took them the weather was bad and there was not enough sunlight.
Qui potete vedere come le ho realizzate.
Con le fustelle a uovo più piccole ho tagliato due uova, uno colorato e uno bianco, e su quello bianco ho scritto gli auguri con un pennarello dello stesso colore.
Come potete vedere le scatoline sono quasi completamente monocromatiche. Guardate quella qui sotto: è arancione la scatola, il fiore, l'uovo grande, l'occhiello di metallo e il filo Pirkka.
Ho anche usato il tampone arancione per distrassare i bordi della scatola, del fiore, del cerchietto bianco e dell'uovo bianco. E ho scritto gli auguri con il pennarello arancione.
Here you can see how I made them.
I die cut some eggs with my smallest egg-dies. I cut a colored/patterned egg and a white egg. On the white one I wrote 'Happy Easter' with the same colour.
As you can see the eggs are almost completely monochromatic. Look at the box below. Everything is orange: the box, the flower, the bigger egg, the metal eyelet and the Pirkka paper wire.
I also used orange ink pad to distress the edges of the box, of the flower, of the white circle and of the white egg. And I wrote my wishes with an orange marker.
Forse avrete notato che uso sempre tanti fiori minuscoli come questi. Li taglio con alcuni perforatori dai pezzetti di carta avanzata più piccoli. Non butto via niente! Nei ritagli di tempo taglio nel cartoncino, nel feltro e nella gomma crepla piccoli fiori, cuori, fiocchi di neve o foglie che conservo in scatoline separate. Al momento opportuno ho sempre una parte di materiale già pronto, solo da assemblare. In questo caso, per esempio, avevo questi fiori addirittura già coi bordi sfumati, i due pezzi incollati e il diamantino al centro. Così ho risparmiato parecchio tempo.
Vi consiglio di fare la stessa cosa. Anche se avete solo dieci minuti liberi al giorno e vi tenete a portata di mano gli avanzi di cartoncino e un paio di fustelline, potete a poco a poco accumulare dei pezzi che si riveleranno molto utili!
Maybe you have noticed I always use a lot of tiny flowers like these ones. I punch them from smallest scraps. I don't throw away anything! When I have a little of time I punch from little pieces of cardstock, felt and foam some tiny flowers, hearts, snowflakes or leaves that I keep in separated boxes. When I need them, I always have some of the stuff ready, just to put together. In this case, for example, these flowers had all their parts already put together: the edges were already inked, the two parts of the flowers were already glued together and there was already the small diamond in the centre. So I saved a lot of time.
I advise you to do the same. Even if you have only ten minutes a day and you keep at your hand your scraps and a couple of punches, little by little you can pile up pieces that will be very useful to you someday!
