Handmade by Jane Collman


Things you will need:


White Stardust Cracker Making Kit S57249
Stardust Paper in Orange - SGBCA4ORANGEPAPER
Double Sided Transfer Tape Pen S56986
Double Sided Polyester Ultra Sticky Clear Tape 6mm S56947
Seed bee'd and Fine Glitter Green S57075

Double Sided Adhesive Tape Sheets S57107
Hot Melt Glue Gun S57234

Easter Chicks
Chocolate Eggs/Gifts

Instructions



Jane used a White Stardust Cracker, which are great for other occasions such as Easter or Weddings. Push out the diamond shapes and keep them as they can be glued together to make pretty star shapes etc for other projects.


If you have trouble shaping the crackers, try using a wooden rolling pin to roll them around!


Cut Orange Stardust Paper and use a Tape Pen to stick to the cracker.


Ultra Sticky Clear Tape added to the edges of the orange pieces is great for Glitter and Beads.  Use a Stix2 Clean and Clear Tray to keep your glitter in one place and excess can be easily put back into the tube.


Tie off one end of the cracker with Double Faced Satin Ribbon and insert snap if required then fill cavity with Easter goodies!


Add more ribbon tying off both ends.


To finish, a Die Cut Oval Shape makes a perfect base for an Easter chick. Cover with glitter either using PVA Glue or A4 Double Sided Sticky Tape Sheets.  A little Hot Melt Glue will hold your chick nicely on the base and the base to the cracker.

Mother's Day Inspiration

Mother's Day is only a month away so time to create a special card for a special lady. Debbie Frost has designed this beautiful mixed media card.


Handmade by Debbie Frost


Things you will need:


Iron on Adhesive for Various Materials S57357
Parchment Paper S57359
Transfer foils "Carnival" S57271
Clear Foam Pads S57126
8" x 8" White Card Blank S57340
Pink Tinted Card A4250TINTPINK
Sky Blue Tinted Card A4250TINTSKYBLUE
Double Sided Polyester Ultra Sticky Sheet S56971
PVA Glue S57048
25mm x 25mm x 2mm Foam Pads S57139

Sizzix Tim Holtz dies Detailed Butterflies & Wildflowers
Tim Holtz Distress inkpads
Versamagic inkpads
Craft canvas on a roll.

Instructions:


Debbie has used the Stix2 with Heat Range and has started by using the Tim Holz Wildflowers dies with the Various Materials Sheet.

She then sponged the die cut flowers softly with the pastel colours of the Versamagic pads before removing the paper backing sheet (a bit tricky but worth it!) and laying in place on the canvas which she had previously sponged with the Distress inks.


Now cover the flowers with Parchment Paper and heat with the Craft Iron. It's important to leave the Parchment Paper in place until completely cold or you will peel off your design too! This effect gives a beautiful water colour look. She then glued the piece of canvas to a piece of lavender card and mounted to the left of the Stix2 Card Blank.

Next she took a piece of the Double Sided Polyester Sheet and peeled off one backing paper to stick it onto a piece of card. Debbie then die cut two butterflies using the Tim Holtz Detailed Butterflies set using the solid butterfly die.

She also die cut two butterflies in Pink and Blue Tinted Card using the filigree die. She peeled off the remaining backing sheet on the "solid" butterflies and applied the hologram Silver Transfer Foil from the "Carnival" set.


What a simple but stunning effect!


Now simply lift the wings of the lacy butterfly and attach it to sit over the silver one. To finish Debbie has stuck the butterflies to the Card Blank along with the stamped sentiment and she has added some Clear Foam Pads covered with Transfer Foils as embellishments.

Upcycling with Stix2

Upcycling is the perfect creative way to give an old pre-loved item a new lease of life. Debbie Frost has been using her crafty skills and some of her favourite Stix2 products to make a lovely photo frame.


Handmade by Debbie Frost


Things you will need:

Black Tinted Card A4250TINTBLACK

Cardboard Frame
Black Gesso Paint
Sizzix Tim Holtz "Wildflowers" Thinlets Die Set
Creative Expressions Metallic Gilding Polish in Citrus Green & Mediterranean Blue
Tiger Picture

Instructions

Using these Stix2 products, you too can create your own bespoke photo frame by following the steps below.


Firstly Debbie scrunched up some White Stix2 Tissue Paper and stuck it to the frame using Stix2 PVA Glue to give texture. She then left this overnight to dry.


Next she gave it a coat of Black Gesso Paint and left this to dry.


Debbie then used the new Stix2 2in1 Glue Pen on the texture created by the Tissue Paper. She applied the glue and then left it to go really tacky (about 1/2 hour) . At this stage it's great to use with Stix2 Transfer Foils in gold, copper and green.


The foliage for the jungle look came from Sizzix Tim Holtz "Wildflowers" Thinlets die set. Debbie took a piece of A4 Tinted Black Card and randomly applied Creative Expressions Metallic Gilding Polish in Citrus Green and Mediterranean Blue and then cut with the dies. The Stix2 Glue Pen was really great for sticking the flowers in place as it has such a lovely fine nib.

She then mounted the tiger onto another sheet of A4 Tinted Black Card and the whole thing was assembled using Stix2 Polyester Ultra Sticky Tape.


For more projects by Debbie please visit her Blog.

Please contact Stix2 on 0191 2697810 or sales@stix2.co.uk should you need any further information.
