Prima Blog Switch - Day 2

Hello, everyone! My name is Sharon Laakkonen and I am so excited to do a Prima blog "switch" with my wonderful friends at Sizzix in Europe! And to make it even more exciting I will be showcasing some of our new Prima dies. Yes, you heard that right! Prima and Sizzix are a perfect match, right? It was so fun working with both companies to create a few projects just for you. But before I start showing you the projects, we've got a special giveaway to tell you about. Simply comment on this blogby telling us what you love about the new Prima and Sizzix collection and you could be in with a chance of winning this fabulous prize - a Big Shot machine, plus 2 dies from the new range!



Right, here we go with my projects...

It's June and I can hear wedding bells all around me. I know at least ten couples who are getting married this year! (Including two of my own daughters:  Brittany and Breanna. They have both found wonderful guys. I could not be happier for them!)

So, with weddings on my mind I thought it would be lovely to create a few elegant cards with Prima's Leeza Gibbon's papers and our new Sizzix dies.


My first card is simple and sweet. It showcases gorgeous Wishes & Dreams paper, elegant die-cut swirls and a fanciful shaped border. You could seriously make this card in less than 20 minutes!

• Cut 9 x 6 inch card. Fold in half to create a 4.5 x 6 inch card.
• Die cut swirls, tag and border from white paper. Add to card as shown.
• Tie tulle around card and knot. Add a large Prima flower and tuck in three die-cut leaves.
• Add greeting and crystals.
