Merci

Hi All,

Just trying to be a little crafty while staying "safe at home".  I hope you all are doing the same.  I broke out some of my supplies since I am finding some extra time on my hands these days.

I created this card for a couple of challenges.

First challenge is Color Throw down.    #ctd586
The Colors that should be used are pink, purple and white.


The second challenge is Crafty Friends Challenge.
The challenge is to use a Spring color Pallet.


Here is what I created for these challenges:

Thank you for checking my creation out.  Stay safe at home, stay crafty and stay healthy. 

Wishing you all the best in this trying time.

Birthday Mixed Media Card

Hi All,

It's been awhile since I have been passionate about making cards.  I have only been able to get my Christmas cards completed and have been MIA as far as birthdays and any other holidays.  Something happened over the holiday break and I can't find enough time in the day to make cards again.  I am so excited.  My new passion, #MixedMedia cards.  I was watching a YouTube video from #MaremiSmallArt which peaked my interest again.  Thanks Marta for re-creating my interest in Mixed media and card making.

 

Products used in creating this card:
Hero Arts Stamp and cut Happy set:

Mini white mulberry flowers:


Bakers twine white:

Flat back pearls: 

Lace: (hint, get white, you can always die it the right color for your project)

Metal frame: this was in my stash, here is a nice option:

2 types of Patterned paper, already in my stash
Distressing tool:

Nuvo Jewel drops Morning Dew:

Seed Beads: 

 Dylusions Shimmer spray:

Card base:

Hope you are inspired by my card creations.  Enjoy the inspirations. 
Thanks for stopping by.

Green with Envy

Hi all,
Just stopping by to post what transpired from the bead soup I posted in the last post.

I just did a "Green With Envy" as I called it bracelet. 

Lots of pretty green bling with some silver thrown in.  Love the little silver tone heart toggle clasp.  What do you think?

Until next time...

Another round of Bead Soup

Another round of Bead soup coming your way.

Here is a small batch I dug up, wonder what will become of it later tonight.

Stay tuned to see what transpires.
Enjoy your Saturday.

T-I-Double-Guh-Urrrr....

Hi All,
Just playing around with some of my patterned paper that I had lying around....

Came across this super cute Disney Winnie the Pooh themed paper.  Really simple card just cutting out three of the Tigger squares and finding coordinating card stock and ribbon  Easy Peasy...

For the sentiment, I used the computer and printed out my own.  Mounted it with coordinated card stock.  I do a lot of my own sentiments that way.  That way I can personalize the cards with what I really want them to say.

Here is a link to the exact paper I used:

These papers like this would work well for other Disney character themes:

Any kind of themed paper like this would work well in this type of card.  It makes it really easy if you are in a bind and need one yesterday....
Try it out, keep some on hand for those days when you need a card.
Best,
Julie

New and fun little bracelet

Hi All,

It is really fun when you sit down to create and have nothing in mind other than a bracelet and you come up with a pretty little gem like this...

This gem was made with 10mm blue aventurine glass beads and copper flower spacer beads and findings.  Very creamy aventurine beads with a pretty shine on the faceted beads.  Graced with the antique copper findings.  One of my favorites so far.

You can find it listed here on ETSY.

The bracelet would go perfectly with these items:




Until next time....
