New "Goodies" ...

Hi Everybody,

A few days ago I mentioned that I was getting some new "Goodies" from China to make my Hatpins

Well they have started arriving now and I am so pleased with them all.

I have bought lots of Tibetan Silver and the hatpins they produce are gorgeous.

I have tried to get as close as I can to the pins to show you what I mean.

These silver filigree beads are so opulent  but I have to tell you that they are not cheap.

And all your costs need to be calculated carefully if you are going to sell them.

If you are adding them to a card be sure to tell your recipient that they can be removed and worn as a fabulous gift.

These will be going in both "My Shop"  and Etsy  later once I have worked out a fair price for them.

I will make a card and add a hatpin to it to show you the beautiful look they give to your designs.

Aaaand  .... there is still more to come yet so I will show you that when it arrives.

Ooooh !! It will  be like Christmas all over again .....

There is still time to enter for the Birthday "Give Away"   add your name for one of two chances to win the prize

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friendship Card...

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card uses  Labels Thirty Four  for the central point.  I have used both the decorative labels and the plain ones

It is created in the hinged card style   and layered with turquoise and white.

I have used pearly "Bling" from Want2Scrap  and the ribbon is a soft organza that has been tied into a double bow... and I got it from the craft show last month.

The pearl centre to the bow,  and the flowers,  are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they are  beautifully sparkled with Glitter Magic

The verse is part of a set that matches Labels Twenty Nine and it is from   JustRite Stampers  ...

The link is there to show you what the stamp is like and you will get it cheaper if you shop around.

The inside is also decorated to compliment the front

This is a commissioned card and I have the buyers permission to show you... and it is much prettier in real life

Have you added your name to the list for the Birthday "Give Away"   You have until Wednesday to do it and then the winners will be announced

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Tone on tone ...

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful card is much better in real life than the picture shows.

I am really pleased with the way it looks and it has already been sold.

The lacy edge panels are glittered and look just gorgeous.

 The flowers and white leaves are  from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they also have added sparkle with fine glitter from Glitter Magic

The butterflies are some I bought on a roll  from a stall at the craft show and unfortunately I don't know which one ... soreee !!

The ribbon is from Mei Flower and is a soft satin ribbon that ties in a bow beautifully.  And this is the ribbon that colors really well with Isopropyl.

The little sentiment is from Crafters Companion and would be suitable for any special occasion.

I have embossed it in silver.

The lovely embellishment on the bow is diamante and pearl from WOC



Don't forget to add your name to  the   Give Away   but  only once please as duplicates will be removed.

Please add  your comments  and  remember  they won't show  up until they  have been  moderated  so only add it once

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
