Prima & Sizzix: Day 3!

Hello, Everyone! My name is Anna Draicchio and I am so excited to do a blog "switch" with my wonderful friends from Prima and Sizzix! It was so fun working with both companies to create a few projects just for you. Prima and Sizzix are a perfect match, right?

For the cover of my mini-album, I completely covered a rectangle of cardboard with Resist Canvas – Dots and I sewed the edges. I added some stamping. With my BigShot I cut out some shapes with the Enchanted, Couquette, Floressa, and Love Gears dies. I love the shape of these dies, with such a fresh and romantic feeling. I love the hearts mixed with the gear designs. A little masculinity, and a little femininity together. I used cardboard for these shapes. It's rather thick, but the thickness of the Bigz dies makes it very easy to cut through thick materials.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and it has inspired you to create something wonderful. Document your memories and combine your favorite Prima item with the clean cuts of a Sizzix Die! ~Anna
