Giveaway: Enter to win a copy of Upcycle With Sizzix: Techniques and Ideas for using Sizzix Die-Cutting and Embossing Machines by leaving a comment in today’s post by January 30th, 2015 and you will be in the running for this awesome book filled with so many pretty and innovative ideas for using recycled elements with Sizzix die cuts. This book happens to be one of my current faves and will surely go on my bookshelf in the, “when I’m stuck and need some inspiration” section!

More about the CPi book:

Scrapbook or photo album designs and embellishments
Handcrafted greeting cards and decorative envelopes
Invitations & decorations for weddings, parties, events, etc.
Frames, signs, banners, calendars, accents, and other home decor

Home decor for kitchens, living rooms, gardens, home offices, and family rooms
Add some flair to quilts, blankets, hair pins/clips/ties, clothes, jackets, backpacks, purses or handbags

Decorative art, collages, papercrafting, and other crafts projects
Upcycle with Sizzix offers detailed instructions on how to use a Sizzix die cutting machine to create projects from recycled papers, fabrics, and other materials. Learn how to upcycle found materials in all sorts of crafty projects like collages, banners, gift-giving, and small home decor items, with a new project on nearly every page. Each project includes a detailed materials list and walks crafters through any special techniques that are needed.
Packed with photos, illustrations and ideas, Upcycle with Sizzix will have crafters creating amazing elements in no time. And by using “found materials” including music sheet paper, magazine pages, leather, aluminum, old greeting cards, wrapping paper, and lightweight cardboard packaging, they’ll feel great about the green projects that are created.
