Sizzix Friday - stemplujemy - stamping!

W zasadzie czy ktoś kiedykolwiek powiedział, że wykrojnikami Sizzixa nie można stemplować? Jeśli nawet - to nie słyszałam...
Did anybody say that you can't stamp with Sizzix dies...? If it happened - I didn't hear anything like that at all...

O procesie powstawania tego jakże męskiego, "charakternego" scrapa można dowiedzieć się oczywiście na blogu Sizzix. UK - o tutaj. Dodam tylko od siebie, że zdjęcie pochodzi z domowego archiwum i przedstawia mojego tatę (pierwszy z lewej) wraz z dwoma kolegami ... typowy dzień chłopaków z warszawskiego Żoliborza - ponad 30 lat temu:)
To learn more about the process of creating this "cool" and masculine page visit Sizzix.UK blog - you will find lots of photos and information:) I'd like just add that the on the photo you can see my dad (first on the left) with his 2 friends... typical day for young guys from Warsaw - more than 30 years ago:)

Materiały: Prima: Papiery Tea-Thyme, Romance Novel, kwiaty z płótna, spinacze, Tim Holtz - wykrojnik Cargo Stencil Numbers (Sizzix), taśmy, Ranger - Archival Jet Black, Distress Ink: Walnut Stain.Dodatkowo stare papiery, serwetka, nieco herbaty i kolorowych sprayów...

Cały na biało... - All in White - Sizzix Friday!

... i wtedy wchodzę JA, cały na biało....ehm...nieważne.
Witajcie kochani... czas na coś, czego nie było już dawno - żurnal!
Konkretnie mój CAŁY BIAŁY wpis w wędrującym żurnalu 2:16, gdzie miałam zainspirować się tekstami wyciągniętymi z tajemniczej koperty. Grzebałam, szukałam - aż urodziło się coś takiego:
Hi again friends...time for something I was missing for a while - journal page! Yes, a new journal page made in my friend's - 2:16 - travelling journal- and it is ALL in WHITE! I was inspired by the texts I found in the little envelope attached to the journal - and it was a very hard choice! Finally - here it is!

Text: Princess is still sleeping.  Great lightness of existence... Time for big changes.

Jak widać tekstury i faktury tam nie brakuje - zawdzięczamy ją głównie ślicznym folderom do embossingu marki Sizzix... oraz mojemu dość ostatnio nadużywanemu wykrojnikowi Tima Holtza (także Sizzix).
Oczywiście można podejrzeć więcej detali oraz cały proces twórczy tutaj, na blogu Sizzix.uk gdzie co piątek publikuję swoje projekty. Tutaj jeszcze nieco więcej na zachętę...
As you can see it is really full of textures and details - these are made mostly with  beautiful Sizzix Embossing Folders... and my a bit overused Distressed Doily die from Tim Holtz (and Sizzix of course!). Here, on the Sizzix.uk blog you can see more details, step-by-step photos and more information about the products...yes, it is Sizzix Friday again! How a bout  a bit more teasing?

Papiery - to oczywiście 7 Dots Studio, moja ukochana "Domestic Goddess" a kolor - to nic innego jak nowe, metaliczne kolory Distress Stain od Tima Holtza: Brushed Pewter i Tarnished Brass. Uwielbiam je:)
Papers I used are "Domestic Goddess" from 7 Dots Studio of course, they are colored with my new metallic Distress Stains from Tim Holtz: Brushed Pewter and Tarnished Brass. I'm in love:)

A tak w ramach ciekawostek - czy wiecie, że nadchodzi w UK Tydzien Babeczkowy? (Tak właśnie!) - trwa on od 17 do 23 września i z tej okazji Sizzix przygotował zestaw inspiracyjnych projektów - oczywiście z motywem babeczek! Zainteresowanych zapraszam tutaj - to dieta dla każdego :) A moze za mało wam słodkości? Tutaj znajdziecie więcej... kolekcję Sweet Treats!

And do you know that between 17 and 23rd September there is a National Cupckake Week in the UK? How cool is that? For this occasion you can find some yummy cupcake projects on Sizzix.uk website - here. This a diet for everyone! and if it is not enough - here is more - Sweet Treats Collection projects for you!

Powyższy wpis dedykuję mojemu Jędrkowi, Czarkowi oraz oczywiście Agnieszce:). Hehe.
