Hello
As you know I do
like taking part in challenges and especially making Jumbos for swaps
I made these
jumbos to swap with a good friend, it was her turn to choose the theme and it
was quite simple – use at least one button.
Last Friday I
went off to a local craft shop with one of the class lady’s, and I fell in love
with the new range of dies by Sweet Dixie...if you scroll back a few days you
will see a baby card I made using the pram and rattle die.
So for my 3
jumbos I started by printing out 3 of the pretty gingham papers that are free
to download here:
Make sure you
check out the printable sheets and kits at very affordable prices.
So as I said I
printed 3 sheets, the aqua, mint and lemon sheets, I trimmed these down using a
scallop edge trimmer so they fit with a thin all round border my jumbos which
measure 9.5cmx14cm, they were stuck using double sided tape. (I use mount board
for my jumbos and atcs, just ask at your local picture framers for off cuts)
So on the jumbo
with aqua backing paper I added a shoe that I cut from the Sweet Dixie die
using adorable scorable card in pale blue, I also cut the word friends in white
and silver using a Sizzix die. I stuck the shoe to the jumbo landscape so it
fitted, and then stuck the silver friends at an angle across it then stuck the
pale blue word just off the silver to give a shadow, there was a heart with the
friends so added that again using the silver as a shadow.
I decorated the
jumbo with 5 buttons, so 2 pretty blue flower buttons were stuck along the bottom
right hand side, used a lovely button with texture, threaded ribbon and
trimmed, this was stuck in the top left corner.
A tiny dark blue
button was threaded with narrow dark blue ribbon and stuck in the centre of the
flower on the shoe and the last button was heart shaped and was stuck at the
end of the word. I used glossy accents to stick all the buttons in place.
And that was the
Aqua jumbo finished.
The 2nd
jumbo was the same idea but had lemon gingham paper as the base of the jumbo, I
used Sweet Dixie butterfly die and used a pale peach adorable scorable card, and
this was also used for the word.
I used a lovely
scented peach paper to back the wings.
This jumbo has
just 3 buttons, a small sunflower button was stuck under the word, then a
beautiful pearl cluster button was stuck to the butterfly body and finally a
cream button with pretty gem inset was placed in the bottom left corner. A few
AB gems were stuck in the centre of the flowers of the wings.
The last jumbo was
using the mint gingham paper and Sweet Dixie handbag die, i used mint adorable
scorable card to cut the bag, heart and friends and silver mirri to cut friends
and the heart.
I only used 2
buttons, a smooth pale green un the centre of the flower and a gold with
glitter green button was stuck in the bottom left corner, ab gems were stuck in
the flower centres.
The backing paper on here looks pink and mint, its just my camera, the backing is mint and white as in the previous photos.
So just to
recap, I used 3 of the 5 free gingham backing papers from
The Printable
Craft Shop
And Sweet Dixie
