Happy Friday everyone, today I’m sharing a simple way to use your Sizzix Big Shot Plus to make an Easter treat bag. We love organising an Easter Egg Hunt. We have wooden signs to hang up and little chick decorations to place around the garden. Each child has their own colour of eggs to look for so I thought I would make them their own Easter treat bags to hold them in. I used my Sizzix Big Shot Plus and the Sizzix Bigz Alphabet Uppercase Die – Sassy Serif Letter “E” and “N” to cut out the letters. Pop on over to the Sizzix…

I’m sharing a tutorial over on the Sizzix blog today for a hand painted feather t-shirt. I love a simple DIY and this couldn’t be easier! I used the leftover card from last weeks project (dipped paper feathers) as a template to paint directly on to a t-shirt with DYLON fabric paints. I love using DYLON paint (although need to invest in some more colours!) as it is such a quick way to update clothes. I only gave it one coat as the colours were quite strong on a plain white t-shirt, then ironed the paint when it was dry…

I’ve used metallic paints and…

I can’t believe it’s time for my second Sizzix project already. Today I wanted to show you how I used my Sizzix Big Shot Plus to make a sweet personalised Liberty pouch for my daughter. At the tender age of 4 years she can’t go anywhere without a little something. She’s also a bit fo a magpie and I’m always telling her off for picking up things she finds on the ground. Anyway I used my Sizzix Big Shot Plus and the Sizzix Bigz Alphabet Uppercase Die – Sassy Serif Letter “N” (654729) to make this personalised pouch. Find out…

I recently shared our shamrock sun catcher craft for St Patrick’s Day but I am back with another sun catcher craft today! As I mentioned last week, I have started writing and designing projects for the Sizzix blog. My children were intrigued with the Sizzix Big Shot Plus and all the dies I have been experimenting with. I was showing them how it worked which inspired my first project. I used the Sizzix Bigz Die – Heartfelt by Tim Holtz to make an easy heart sun catcher. I think this would make a great Mother’s Day craft. Why not pop…
