Hi there, its Treasa here today to share with you some cards I created using flair from the Movie Night set and the Cinema Relish Mix from The Crafty Pickle Shop.

First up I created a popcorn gift card holder. I used the movie tickets flair from the Movie Night set and the reel from the Cinema Relish Mix.

You pull the popcorn out and the gift card is tucked up inside. I also added a star from the Cinema Relish Mix as well as some Film Strip washi tape from the shop.

I also wanted to create a couple cards for my Project Life album.

I created the base of both cards digitally then went to town adding some items from the shop.

For the Movie Night card, i used the Popcorn flair from the Movie Night set and a reel, movie camera and stars from the Cinema Relish Mix as well as used some of the Film strip washi tape.

For the “I Reely Love You ” card, I put two reels from the Cinema Relish Mix together and added some thin ribbon to look like the film . I also used some of the stars from the Cinema Relish Mix too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

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

Hi Crafty Friends!!

Today we have designer, Stephanie, with us to share an adorable love themed layout perfect for this month of February! Take a look!

I love everything about Valentine’s Day (I am a romantic at heart)-the colors, the candy, the flowers, expressing your love for others, even all the cute scrapbooking supplies! I have a PL spread to share with you that uses Valentine’s Day supplies for a non-Valentine’s picture. It’s of my son (who was 3 at the time) dressing up in his sister’s dress-up clothes! And check out the adorable flair from The Crafty Pickle :

I used one of the flair buttons from the Watercolor Hearts set. It’s perfect for just about any project!!

I also used the “Love This Face” button from the Everyday Photo set. These are so much fun!!

(And oh, how I love that face!)

These journal cards are from 7Dots Studio; the alphas are AC Thickers & the sequins is also from The Crafty Pickle. Taniesa even creates custom flair buttons! Check it all out in the store.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

I am a huge fan of backing your flair pieces with a little mat, and Stephanie does that perfectly!

Have a wonderful day!
Happy Crafting,

Hi Happy Crafty Friends!!!

It is finally Friday! We made it! I dont know about you but this week was a long one and I am ready for the weekend and some scrappy time!

Today designer, Stephanie, has TWO projects to share with you using TCP flair. I hope you love her projects as much as I do, Take a look!

_________________________________________________________________________

I have two projects to share today featuring flair from The Crafty Pickle . The first one is a card that I made for my daughter who is trying out for her school gymnastics team this week! She was nervous & pretty certain that she wouldn’t make the team, so I wanted to make her a card to give her a little extra encouragement!!

I started with this sketch from Cardabilities:

I used my Martha Stewart punch to create the branches in the background. The “shine” flair button is from TCP & can be found here .

I love the combination of colors & textures here! Hope she enjoys the cad too (even if she doesn’t make the team!) I will always be her biggest fan, regardless!

My next project is a layout that started with sketch from Sketchabilities:

I just love a good sketch & this one really caught my eye! Sketchabilities is also teaming up with the challenge site, White With One for this sketch challenge. You are to use white & the color “placid blue”. Here is my page:

I used scrap papers from my stash (I am on a roll using them up nowadays!) and the flair here is also from The Crafty Pickle.

The “snapshots” flair is from their adorable Bright Everyday set. This set comes with 6 buttons that are prefect for any layout, card or PL spread!

The “shake your flakes” flair button comes by itself & is the perfect embellishment for all your winter projects!! It’s too cute!

I added in other embellishments to complete my page and give it more dimension from Elle’s Studio, Pink Paislee, October Afternoon & Studio Calico.

Thanks for visiting on this Friday!

~Stephanie

LOVE them both Stephanie, Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Don’t forget we have a giveaway going on that ends this Monday (You can read more about that HERE) and we have an instagram giveaway going on too! Follow @TheCraftyPickle for more info! That giveaway ends this Sunday.

Handmade Greetings with Carrie Bryant

Published on January 28, 2015January 28, 2015 by Taniesa10 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!!!

Today our designer, Carrie Bryant, has some beautiful cards she has created with just one Close To My Heart stamp set. Take a look!!!

Hello! Today I am sharing with you a few Handmade Greeting Cards that I created using my new “Your Own Kind of Wonderful” CTMH Acrylix stamp set

As you can see there are six different sayings along with six different sized butterflies. Making this a great value with twelve different stamps in one set.

I love this set for it’s versatility in creating cards for several different occasions. I like to make up several cards at one time so I always have a handmade card on hand for any special occasion. After all who want to pay $5.00 or more for a store bought card? Any everyone loves a handmade card better anyway.

I used some pre-made chalkboard style cards for my base, I then pulled out my watercolors and painted the background for my stamped image. I really like the bold outline of the butterflies and when I painted the inside with my watercolors they really pop off my cards. CTMH Arcylix stamps are some of the highest quality stamps I have worked with. They stamp a clean image every time. They peel off the backing and are super adhesive to the stamping block, they also clean up really easy.

I used the same butterflies on this card. After I painted them in I fussy cut them out and used some 3D pop dots to mount them to my card base. I then created a watercolor banner that I stamped my sentiment on. I used some sequins to embellish my cards too. You can find this pretty Fruity Pebbles sequin mix in TheCraftyPickle Etsy shop.

This one is my favorite. I just love this sentiment. I plan on giving this one to my daughter for her Graduation this year.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Scrappin’

Carrie

ALL the snuggles!!!

Hi Crafty Friends!

We have Cathy up on the blog today sharing a snuggly little layout that is just adorable! Check it out!

It’s time again for another layout for The Crafty Pickle! This time I grabbed some of the Cozy Fall flair set available in the shop and set to work. There’s just something I love about having all my embellishments work together to paint a larger picture and I think that definitely happened here. There is a light and airy feel to the layout and the dark flair badge helps bring out the browns in the photo. I also grabbed a big ‘ol handful of various sequins from The Crafty Pickle. I had some Christmas, Fall, and Winter sequins so I mixed them all together and created a huge pocket for them with gold striped vellum. I love the peekaboo colours just hinted at behind the gold! Hope you enjoy and have a crafty week!

Thanks Cathy!! I love all of the layering!

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

Happy Crafting!

Happy 8th Birthday

Published on January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today designer, Stephanie is showing a birthday card she made for her son. Take a look!

Hey y’all! Hope your Thursday is going well. We had some ice & schools were closed yesterday so I am playing catch-up today!
Tomorrow is Ty’s 8th birthday so I made him a card. I wanted to keep it somewhat simple since he is a boy & doesn’t appreciate frills!

I started with the slate blue cardstock & added the plaid paper on top. This was in my scraps box from long ago!

I used the “Happy Birthday” flair from The Crafty Pickle. It is from their Birthday button flair set. The set includes 4 flat-backed buttons that are perfect for birthday crafting!

The sequins on my card is also from The Crafty Pickle. It is the winter sequins mix. I just love the little snowflakes! The cardstock snowflake was punched with my Marvy punch.
Taniesa has a bunch of new flair & sequins in the shop! Be sure to stop by & stock up!! These cold, snowy winter days are the perfect time to craft!

Take care,
~Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie! I always have a hard time with those masculine cards, this is great!

Happy Crafting!
