More Art with Heart June Challenge: Summer Fun with Sizzix

17 Jun

How is the summer going for you so far? I am in Alaska celebrating our 35th anniversary so mine is pretty amazing so far! I hope yours is too…

Here’s a look at what our amazing Inspiration Team has created for you- these projects are sure to get your creative juices flowing!

Pam Bray has been busy- she has two projects to share this month. Who wouldn’t love this fun bridal shower decor? See how Pam created the romantic Travel Trailer stack on her blog here.

Here Pam made an adorable Cupcake Box and Tag using the Block/Cube/Bank die and Luggage Tag to wrap up a sweet treat!

Button button who’s got the button? I think it’s Lisa Hoel! She loves buttons so much that she covered an Artist Trading Block with them. See her work of art here and how she made it.

Michelle Zerull had fun with DecoArt paint and Sizzix dies. Don’t you dig this desert scene? Michelle used the Candy Cup die to make a crackled Succulent Plant Pot!

From the heat of the desert to some nice cold ice cream… Anne Redfern has turned the Travel Trailer die into an Ice Cream Trailer! Hop on over to Anne’s blog and see her recipe for coolness.

Anna-Karin Evaldsson is the queen of mixed media! She used some fun Deco-Art paints, the Luggage Tag and the Make-It-3D die to create a 3D Luggage Tag for storing a gift or small surprise. See how on her blog.

Don’t forget to share your work with us at our Art With Heart Challenge for June– our theme is Summer Fun with Sizzix. Just add your link to your latest project and you could win a new Sizzix die.

The Inspiration Team has once again hit it out of the park with lots of amazing ways to use your Sizzix dies! Thanks for joining us this week and stay cool!

Featured Fan: JoAnn Nehme

15 May

I am so excited today to welcome JoAnn Nehme to our blog! I first noticed JoAnn’s work on Instagram (you can follow her at Sage2352). What JoAnn does with flowers blows my mind! She makes beautiful wreaths, arrangements, banners, you name it- she is very talented at creating in 3D. JoAnn’s name popped up again when she entered (and won!) our Art With Heart Challenge- today she is sharing a project that she made using the Cookie Box die that she won. She made something with it that would never in a million years have crossed my mind. I love seeing what people make with my dies and to go from this…
