Our new release, Flora Grande, with Sizzix is FILLED with beautiful AND useful dies! Today our featured designer is Olga Vasilieva! Olga just happens to be on BOTH of our teams and was so eager to try out the new dies for us on her Allstar page!
"Many people think that scrapbooking is something very complicated and takes a lot of time and energy to create something. It really can be like this, but when you use Sizzix dies and Prima products the inspiration is just overwhelming! Each process becomes very simple when you use such high-quality materials! These two brands let you create projects in any style and, actually, you will find they manufacture any embellishment you will ever need!"
This time I've created a layout using amazing Sizzix Love Gears dies and the wonderful Finnabair stencil. I like complicated backgrounds so I used the stencil to make big rhombus; then painted it with a gel pen, stamps, and watercolor splashes. I love to use dies on my projects as they always let you create something unique to your taste and needs at that very moment. I used Prima's Allstar Collection so the Love Gears made of one of the papers matched here perfectly. Then I took some embellishments and decorated the layout around the photo and near the bottom.
Never hesitate to get some Sizzix or Prima materials - you will start getting even more pleasure out of scrapbooking when using them! ~Olga

WOW!! I am so impressed. I LOVE it when Craft Companies and Groups come together and work side by side. Prima products and Sizzix Dies = AN ALLSTAR Gear Inspired Layout!!! Olga has done a fabulous job!! The Layout is a breakthrough in the world of scrap-booking, crafting, and mixed media all rolled into one! And you are right, the Dies, Embellishments, and Other Products by Prima and Sizzix are all you need to create Beautiful Art. I like Olga's comment about getting more pleasure out of Scrap-booking and the ease of use to make it FUN again!!!
