To Move the World... Sizzix Chapter 2

Socrates said “Let him that would move the world first move himself.”
🌎🌍🌏
Although I went with a travel theme with this quote, it has a much broader application. We can move ourselves and in turn move the world right where we are. I’m thinking of things as simple as being positive and kind and helpful and encouraging. So let’s load up our “suitcases” with kindness, positivity, support and love for each other and watch that move the world.

This is officially the last of the Sizzix samples I made for Creativation 2020. I feels like ages since I made this Mini Clipboard. It's designed around the suitcases and a simplified version of a Socrates quote.

The actual quote of the simplified version above is "Let him that would move the world first move himself." I shortened it and cut it out of Blackout Cardstock with the Tiny Text Alphanumeric letters.

 

The Mini Clipboard comes apart so you can paint or age the clip and board separately. I put some Distress Collage Crackle Paste on the star and on the clip. Then I smeared Distress Crayon over both to age them. Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso on the clip and Peacock Feathers on the star.

The board I covered with Distress Woodgrain Cardstock that I colored with Peacock Feathers Distress Paint.

I applied the paint with light brush strokes going with the grain.

Then I sprayed it with Distress Hickory Smoke Spray Stain.

I cut it into 1/2" strips, inked the edges with Walnut Stain, and then applied them to the board as if they were weathered wood siding.

This fabulous globe is from the Chapter 1 Circle Play dies.

The Baggage Claim suitcases are whimsical and allow for some fun customization. Baggage Claim is a Bigz die, so it will cut things that are thicker than cardstock, allowing you to get some great texture.

I chose to cut some faux leather I got from a craft store fabric section. The teal I used was some some I had purchased at a different time. Since I made this sample, Tim Holtz and Ranger have released the Distress Cracked Leather cardstock which would be absolutely perfect for this die, and you could make each suitcase any color you want.

I even cut all of the little details out of the faux leather. It really is fun to dress up these suitcases.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I always appreciate everyone who takes the time to come by and read my posts, leave a comment, or even try to make their own version of a project. Many thanks to each one of you.
