Greeting FlairTastic Friday!!!

Published on July 10, 2015July 9, 2015 by kzfoug2 Comments

Happy Friday Everyone!

Every Friday though the summer months we will bring you a new idea/concept using flair. Your not going to want to miss these fun posts! These ideas will come from not only our designers but also super neat flairtastic ideas we find from our customers and other talented papercrafters. Make sure that when you share any of your projects on Instagram or Facebook using flair, that you tag it #FlairTasticFriday. You just might see your own photo featured here on our blog!

This week we will be showing you some awesome greeting cards by our wonderful design team!!! Each Design Team member uses flair differently to make a fun greeting card …and with this flair it is nice and flat to fit on any card!!!

Here is Joann’s super fun FlarTastic Greeting Card I love how she used the vellum as an overlay to soften the background paper …so great!!! And how she used the Something Shiny Slightly Cupped Sequin to follow your eye down the card for interest!!! And bunching the twine behind the Orange Pop of Flair …i am so going to steal that idea!!!

And next we have Carrie

I am sorry but Carrie makes the prettiest cards I know …they are just so lovely anyone would love to receive a card from her!!! Carrie used Watercolor Butterflies Flair for her fun and whimsical Thank You card!!!

Here is mine Kristin

I used this fun and fast birthday stamp, Washi tape pack from Close to my Heart Suprise Single Flair

How sweet is this card by Treasa with this cute big candle right on the front and the Suprise Single Flair

Next …we have Stephanie’s so sweet circle shaker box card with the red white and blue Star Spangled confetti mix

How will you use flair on a greeting card?????

Stop by The Crafty Pickle Etsy Shop if you haven’t been by recently. We will be releasing a few little things between now and our next big release. We will also be having a big TCP Birthday celebration this month with giveaways and a brand new exclusive foil flair coming mid July!

Dont forget to use the hashtag #FlairTasticFriday to play along with us!

Disney Love

Published on February 6, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Happy Friday Crafty Friends!!!!

Today we have Kristin on the blog sharing a couple of adorable Disney layouts with, of course, some TCP Flair! Take a look!

Flair flair and more flair!! I had so much fun using my flair from The Crafty Pickle to make these fun pages with some of my Disney photos!!!
HERE is a link to everything in the store …you will love everything and she puts fun sequins in every little bag ….so awesome!!!
I saw this flair in the store and knew exactly what page I was going to use the “D” for …I took these pictures out the car window as we were driving into the park and had to think how I was going to scrap them???
But this awesome Disney themed flair was just perfect to go with the sign entering the park!!!

And then here is the close-up of the cute flair:

On this fun page that we took at the castle in the Magic Kingdom in Florida I had fun using some paste on this page and then adding the Watercolor hearts button flair on top of the Mickey ears and under the wood piece and then I added the “pop” of red to the page …so I needed to add the word Magic to this page also …love it!!!

Here are some of the close-ups:

I love all of the texture of Kristin’s layouts and who wouldnt love scrapbooking anything Disney!!! Thanks Kristin!

Have a great weekend!
Happy Crafting,

Here is some new flair to start off the new year for me and some new paper to play with from Close to my Heart out of the new catalog December 2014- March 2015 Seasonal Expressions 1!!!
This was so much fun to use the “Picture my Life” Hopscotch Scrapbooking Program on a scrapbooking page and layer it up with the “Heartstring” paper pack also from Close to my Heart to use the red and the fun turquoise in the collection …both of these collections looks so wonderful together!!!

Here is my page that I completed:

And then in the close-up you can see that I added Red Color “Pop” Flair , the star from the Artiste stamp set from Close to my Heart, Stuck on you Puffies and fun Winter sequin mix with a little Christmas Holiday Sequins

And then in the other close-up:
I added three different flair from the shop- Red Patterned Color Pop, Arrow Flair and Adoption …you can go check them out right HERE

Published on December 18, 2014December 18, 2014 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi again crafty friends!

Today designer, Kristin, is showing off her elf on the shelf mini album and it is so adorable! Take a look!

So so so in love with this flat flair From The Crafty Pickle …this is some of the different flair I am going to be using in my “Elf on a Shelf” album!!!

For documenting in my album I will be using the Whimsical December “Real” glitter flair HERE for the different days of the week of the photos… but first I wanted to add a see through page with some fun embellishments along the side ..I punched some snow flakes from my leftover Pathfinders Collection from CTMH, added some Christmas Holiday Sequins from the etsy shop, and for sure the personalized Elf button flair to the front pocket!!!

Then on the first page I used the CTMH “Heartstrings” paper pack paper, mini calendar stamp,whimsical december glitter flair, and the star stamp from artiste set.

On the third page I made a little pocket with the clear envelope from the stamp set and added Christmas Holiday sequins and a deer, Then on the top I added on of my “Elf on the shelf” personalized flair …so cute!!!

I also added to this page the Red pattern color pop flair and some more of the wonderful sequins!!

Thanks for looking at my album!!!

Is that not too cute! Great job Kristin. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Happy Crafting,

Elf on the Shelf

Hi Crafty Friends!

Do you take part in the Elf on the Shelf tradition each year? Designer, Kristin, has a great idea for a Elf on the Shelf Album that is totally adorable. Check it out!

***************************************************************************************************

I am doing some prep work for my “Elf on a Shelf” album for my little one this year!!!

We just bought him so this is going to be fun this year with this cute little elf …who knows what he is going to get into!!

I used an album that had red in it for the cute Elf and I used on this wooden piece Ranger silver super fine embossing powder ,next I added cork to the circle and with Black Stazon I used the star in the Artiste stamp set in the background. Next, I made a snowflake with the Pathfinder paper from Close to my Heart, backed the “Elf on the Shelf” flair with red cardstock that you can get in the store.

I started to make some fun cards to put in the “Elf” book and made this cute tree with the camera, red and elf on the shelf flair from the store. I also used Cricut Artbooking Collection stamps,some more of the Pathfinder Collection, the Christmas sequins, and then clear sequins that comes in the packaging!!! Here is a link to her CTMH Store

All these fun products were so fun to play with!!!

Thanks, Kristin. I LOVE your album. This is a great idea to do in conjunction with or instead of December Daily. I can’t wait to see the finished album!

Happy Crafting!
