The Sizzix booth at the Create and Connect show was better than I've ever seen it. So many hours of work put in by the Sizzix team. The lady behind much of the creative madness is Debi Adams. Debi is a behind the scenes girl that works in the Sizzix art dept. (
pictured below with Richele). She is also the loveliest, kindest person and so very creative, using Sizzix dies to make amazing things.
Here is the Christmas side of the Sizzix booth. Our own winter cabin right down to the snow on the ground.
Debi is responsible for lots of the props found in the Sizzix booth and for the decorative elements such as these ice skates on the door.
Would you believe she made a TREE with the Tapered Fringe die? I had to go back at look twice just to try and figure it out.
You can see the entire tree in the large picture above next to the snowshoes.
She made this card using the same die.
More samples from the booth - a Configurations Tray by Richele Christensen.
A darling luminary (new Sizzix die) by Shelly Hickox.
And then there was the library.
Right from Tim's mind and created by Marty Graff the creative genius behind the hard scape of the booth. I think this is my favorite set Tim has ever dreamed up. When I turned the corner of the booth, it was like going to an Anthropologie of the past, when displays were bigger and more special. And the
piece de resistance, the deer head. Amazing detail.
My favorite Mou Saha sample using the new Spider Web decorative strip, stuck into the books of the library.
A fabulous Configurations book by Richele. She cut the haunted house right in the cover.
Well, that's it for today. I hope you have enjoyed this short tour of the Sizzix booth. There were so many samples to see and be inspired by.
A special thanks to those who designed samples for all the booths - Ranger, Sizzix, idea-ology and Stampers Anonymous. The booths could never be what they are without their work. Thank you so much.
