Beaded Pins

 I'm practicing making some beaded pins for an upcoming swap.  I used my two practice pins on a card to show them off.  Tell me what you think!

For this card I used Baked Brown Sugar, a new SU In Color for the card base.   I had a DCWV mat stack that had some patterns that blended perfectly with this new color.  Some Cherry Cobbler was used as an accent color behind the patterned paper.  Crumb Cake was cut with a Lacey Circle die to mat the second piece of patterned paper.  The copper flower was a recent purchase at Michael's and of course my beaded pins are tucked behind.  The sentiment is from SU.

One Of Those Days

Page 17 was mostly from the Cricut cartridge The First Few Years, but I also added some raindrop shaped bling to the card stock drops.

Button Fairy

For fun and a bit of a self challenge, I joined a swap on SCS to make "Button Fairies".  I watched a couple of You Tube videos to give me some idea of how these are made, but I'm not sure mine are quite right.  I guess the hostess or other participants will let me know!  It's too late for this swap, as I already mailed them in, but if you have any advice for future button fairies, please let me know.  TIA!

Sorry for the glare, but I had these packaged up in clear envelopes before taking the photo.  So basically I used some Blush Blossom  and metallic silver card stock with an Uptown stamp and Staz On and Memento black inks.  A flattened bottle cap frames the face and is attached to the silver card stock wings.  A row of paper flowers and a bow are tucked under the bottle cap.  A string of various sized buttons and beads are wired together to form the body.

Thinking of You

Yellow is one of my favorite colors.  It's such a happy color!  This quick card took just minutes to put together.  It probably took longer for the Stickles to dry than it did to put the entire card together!  I used a Crumb Cake base and a layer of DSP from My Minds Eye: Indie Chic: Nutmeg.  The sentiment is from SU: Happy For You.  I used a corrugated flower and one of my larger buttons tied with linen thread. I squeezed some Stickles on the ridges of the flower.

Love You

 I love how  page 15 turned out!  The heart paper is from SU and has white embossed hearts.

Thanks for looking!  I'll be back later with a quick and simple card to share.

Celebrate

My basket of ribbon scraps was overflowing and it was time to thin it out.  As I was sorting through the pieces this stitched felt ribbon and the wide striped ribbon caught my eye.   So I put my not so fun project on hold and made this card.

I used the Spots and Dots embossing folder for the background.  Then I used an acrylic 3D sticker for the main image.  The banner is Washi Tape on white card stock and held in place with a Tim Holtz memo pin.  That's it!
