Card and Hatpin ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is another pretty in pink creation but this one has the Hatpin pushed into the corsage.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and have the added glitter  from Glitter Magic.

The diamante teardrops are from Want2Scrap and they blend with the diamnate in the hatpin.

The hatpins and end protectors are from the Sparkles Group  ... they are in gold and silver, different sizes and if you add the code CG05 you will get a discount at the checkout.

I have left the protector on the pin for the recipient to remove and wear.

This is the finished card and I have used the butterflies from the Les Papillion set.

The ribbon is from my "Stash"

The pink lace under the ribbon is from a bouquet of flowers that I got for my birthday  ... frugal crafter wastes nothing !!

The verse is from a set by Crafters Companion and there are lots of lovely sentiments in the sets.

The papers I have used are free with the March magazine from Tattered Lace 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

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 ...

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
