Hey Crafty Friends!

Designer, Cathy, is up with an adorable holiday layout! Check it out

Hey everyone it’s Cathy here with another post for The Crafty Pickle. I wanted to use some of the wonderful December/Christmas flair badges and sequins and I thought what better way to use the lovely candy striped badges then to showcase them on a layout about my daughter getting candy canes stuck in her hair. I apologize that the photos aren’t at their normal quality, I ended up having to take them with my phone instead of my usual Canon camera.

I adore how she used the flair and sequins, all the clusters and layering are perfect.

Thanks Cathy!

I hope you all have a very Merry week!!!

December Days Mini Album with Carrie!

Published on December 16, 2014December 16, 2014 by Taniesa1 Comment

Hi Crafty Friends!
Today, designer Carrie Bryant, is showing off her December mini album. Totally adorable! Check it out!

Today I am going to share with you the start of my December Days album. This year I have decided to document December Weekly instead of daily. I am a bit behind…. go figure.

This is my album cover. I covered a 6×8 Snap binder from Simple Stories
with some paper from Heidi Swapp’s Believe collection. I love this
paper line, I bought a lot of it last year so I chose to use it for most
of this album. I also sprayed a Heidi wood veneer word “together” with
some gold Color Shine.

Using my custom flair from TheCraftyPickle really helps to make this a special keepsake.

Week 1 – My husband Bill and I spent a 4 day weekend in
NYC. We had a wonderful time, just the two of us. The city really was
all dressed up for Christmas. To document each Week, again I used some custom CraftyPickle flair. I also used the great Arrow set and some Holiday sequins to embellish my pages.

Week 2 – We went to Wickerd Farms to pick a fresh Christmas Tree. More pages to follow soon….

I really love that Taniesa will create any design just for You!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Happy Scrappin’

Carrie

I love everything about this, Carrie!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

Happy Crafting!

Merry and Bright by Stephanie

Hi Crafty Friends!

Designer, Stephanie, is on the blog today with her christmas layout using the Merry and Bright flair as well as the winter sequins mix! Too cute… and will you look at that santa photo, totally ADORABLE!

I love looking back on pictures from Christmases past and my project today shares a photo of the kids with Santa in 2009. They were just babies!! And this is my favorite picture with Santa, ever!

I have used the Winter Sequins Mix from The Crafty pickle, along with their Merry & Bright flair button from the December set. These are the perfect compliment to any layout, be it Christmas-themed or not!

I punched the snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punch & the deer head is a new punch from EK Success. The black paper & the “Enjoy every day” journal card are from 7Dots Studio.

I used one of my favorite date stamps from Dear Lizzy to stamp the “I Love This” sentiment. And the fun pink polka dot paper is from Elle’s Studio.

Be sure to stop by The Crafty Pickle shop to browse all of the great products that are offered!!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks Stephanie! I love how you used non traditional colors with this layout too!

Happy Crafting,

You Make Me So HAPPY!

December Daily update with Treasa!

Published on December 9, 2014December 9, 2014 by Taniesa3 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Treasa has been working on her December Daily and it is ADORABLE! Check out her progress!

Hi there, today I wanted to share a few cards I made for my December Daily. First up I wanted to share how I was documenting my days of the month in my album.

As soon as I seen these flair in The Crafty Pickle shop I knew I had to use them in my album. I love the silver glitter and the fun font. These Elegant December flair add the perfect touch to my pages even with some sparkle.

I also made some cards to add in my album using more of the fabulous flair found in The Crafty Pickle. First up is the card I made to document the return of our Elf on the Shelf Elvis Parsley. The Personalized Elf flairs are perfect and I love how you can get them personalized with your elf’s name.

Up next is a card that was inspired by my album that I am suing for my December Daily. I totally fell in love with the burlap and rustic look of it. So I decided to make a card using burlap and one of the flair badges from the December button flair set.

And lastly, I had to make a card to document my love of Starbucks red cups. These red cup flair buttons was a special request and I think they turned out fabulous.

I have to say that I am loving all the flair buttons that I have received from The Crafty Pickle and how I can personalize my album and cards. It makes this album so much more special. Please visit The Crafty Pickle and remember that Taniesa takes special orders, so if you don’t see it in the store, send her a message.

Don’t forget to stop by The Crafty Pickle for me fabulous and creative ideas.

Thanks Treasa! I love everything about your album so far and look forward to seeing the finished project!!!Happy Crafting!

Gift a candy bar!

Published on December 3, 2014December 3, 2014 by Taniesa1 Comment

Hi Crafty Friends!

Is your gift list a mile long? It’s always hard for me to come up with a clever gift that doesn’t cost a lot of money. Designer, Joann, has came up with a beautiful way to gift a simple candy bar! Check it out!!

Hi! Today I have fun little project to share with you today and my first ever step by step tutorial (so this is a warning that it is a LONG post, lol)!

I wanted to create some fun treat holders to give to a few friends and family some in which I could fit a snicker bar. I searched for a few ideas and came across many (pinterest of course, lol) and most of them used the envelope punch board, but I wanted to be able to make one without the punch board.

Here is what I came up with…

I started off with cutting some 12 x 12 Cranberry card stock from CTMH at 9 1/4 x 5 (you can get 2 treat holders out of a 12 x 12). I then placed my card stock long ways on my scoreboard (9 1/4) and scored it at 1 1/8, 2 1/8, 7, 8. I then took my card stock and rotated it (5) and scored at 3/4, 1 7/8, 3 1/8, 4 1/8. It will look like this…

Taking my scissors I started to cut (black lines indicate where you need to cut and the “x” indicates the areas that will be removed).

You will then be left with this (I marked the 4 areas with stars for the next step below)…

The 4 squares with the stars (shown above) will need a small diagonal cut off of 2 sides (picture on the left). After all four squares have been cut, your treat holder should look like the picture on the right. This will help with the closure of the box.

I used my grid mat to place small dots on the top and bottom squares of my treat box (picture on the right). I took my scissors and meet the side dots to the top. You should end up with the picture on the left.

I took CTMH stamp set Snowflakes to stamp a few images for my box and turned the box on its back and placed some strong adhesive on the 3/4 side (one of the sides is slightly smaller than the other, I did it this way so when the box is closed, the closing on the back is down the middle and not to one side).

I found the easiest way to line everything up was to fold the box and carefully push down so both sides stick to the adhesive and then I opened it to run my finger inside, making sure it was secured.

I cut an image from the CTMH Artiste that coordinates with the Holiday Tags CTMH stamp set and stamped it with some Cranberry Ink and placed a TCP Flair in the center (the glitter on this flair is stunning). Punched a hole on top and ran both ends through it so I could tie a nice bow on top of the tag.

I know this was a lengthy post but once you get one done, I promise the others will be super fast. I appreciate you making it to the end and I hope you enjoyed my first tutorial.

Just a heads up…

The Crafty Pickle is in the process of opening a new shop so please stay tuned for more info or follow on facebook The Crafty Pickle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies used:

CTMH Artiste Bundle

CTMH Holiday Tags

Thanks, Joann! I can’t wait to make some of these for school office staff!

Crisp and Cool layout by designer, Cathy!

Published on November 29, 2014November 29, 2014 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are all recovering nicely from turkey overload and shopping madness. Today we have a beautiful layout to share by design team member, Cathy! Take a look!

Hi everyone, Cathy here with a layout I created using awesome products from The Crafty Pickle! My layout was inspired by one I saw created by Lilith Eeckels. I loved the way she cut the large woods paper into 3rds to create interest and divide up the image. From there I used a variety of embellishments, including flair badges and sequins from the The Crafty Pickle and stamps from Close to my Heart. I just love how it turned out and I am so happy with my products from The Crafty Pickle. The flair badges are just fantastic and who doesn’t love sequins right?
