Sizzix!

I was fortunate enough to be able to take a sizzix class Friday evening.  It was called the Triple Play because three of sizzix most popular die designers (including the one who designs all their pop up dies) taught the class.

POP UPS
Sizzix has some really great pop up dies.  The new dies that are being added this year are a bit simpler to use than the ones in the past which were more involved.

First I would like to share some of the great pop up cards that were made as samples (not part of the class).  You will note that some of the cards (including the gear pop up) actually were not made from pop up dies but regular dies (the gear card was from a Holtz die).

The card below was one of the three projects that I made in the class.  It features three new sizzlit dies including the crown and medallion below.  This card also features one of the new pop up dies relasing this year.  This die creates a pop up base that you can attach other items to.  It will seem to pop out of the card when you open it.  This is different than the step cuts that we make to crreate a regular pop up.
