Bravissimmo Embellishments with the Slice by Making Memories

June 6, 2011

I’ve shared my impressions of the Bravissimo Line by Making Memories– they really knocked our socks off at CHA. But now they are integrating the line that you can purchase with a design card for their Slice Machine. This is the best of both worlds- some components you can buy for a “high end” look, but still customize it at home without compromising the quality.

So first off, I’d like to direct your attention to some of the fabulous Bravissimo Components- there are rosettes, medals, wands, and sentiments.

But if you’ve got the Slice Elite and the Bravissimo design card, you can amp up your pre-purchased components, because they work together perfectly. But if you don’t have somewhere to buy the Bravissimo components, then this Slice design card is a “must have”- you’ll be able to create the look of medals, rosettes, and awards right at home!

The card features script alphabet & numerals, frames, ribbons, medallions, images & sentiments!

Each of the icons is a menu heading- so you get a LOT of images. Because this is a MS+ card, you get the image, the mirror, and the shadow with each on- that gives you SO many more options for layering!

Here, I used the "Shadow" cut off-set to make a flowery feel...

So, first, I thought I’d boost a rosette component….I wanted to put it on a wand for my daughter to commemorate her mastering a two-wheeler. I used my Slice Elite to cut the medallions in some lovey Jillibean Soup paper, and then cut the sentiment “good job.”

The components I cut with the Slice Elite...

A little glitter glue later, and I got this:

I used the pre-assembled rosette and wand, but added my own center medallion & sentiment!

Think she’ll like it?
Then, I was working on a scrapbook layout on the same subject, and decided to add a little rosette to it, as well. This time, I used the component with the green glitter circle, but added paper “ribbons” and the “good job” to this as well.

The green base was from the Bravissimo components line- but the pink ribbon portion, the rosette, and then sentiment were all cut with the Bravissimo Design Card.

Then I got a little creative. We are having a small holiday weekend get-together, and I realized the medallions you can make with the Bravissimo card were perfect for Memorial Day decorations. So I made this little pick to go into our centerpiece. (It’s not done yet, so I put it into my plant.)

This would also make a great embellishment for a patriotic scrapbook layout.

And just to go to show that this card is really flexible, I made this sweet card using the Bravissimo Design Card. I love the bird image, especially!

Crown, bird, heart, and "I love you" all cut with the Bravissimo Design Card.

Then I made these little star embellies, and strung them together for a little banner:

So as you can see, the Bravissimo Design Card is great for use with the pre-made Bravissimo components, or can stand alone perfectly well. Make sure you read my review of the Slice Elite and the Hands Free Kit, too- the three together are a craft trifecta.
