Sizzix 3

The second project that I completed in the Sizzix class was a flower pot with flowers.  The teacher came up with a great idea by die cutting packing bubbles (small size) along with cardstock and then layering it to make the flower.  The die that was used included cut petals.
The cup or pot is a scoreboard die.  These dies are special because they cut matboard (which is thicker and harder than chipboard).  There are a number of scoreboard dies already online at sizzix.  The pot is one of the 2011 releases.  The die actually cuts only halfway through the matboard.  This makes it possible to bend the matboard to make the cup.  There is also a bottom that is cut as part of the die.




The third project was a card using one of the new sizzix texture embossing folders. 

The card itself was also anew die from sizzix.  (The top part of the card was a separate die cut not part of the card die itself and was added as decoration.)
