Bring on the Polar Bears!

Published on November 20, 2014November 20, 2014 by Taniesa3 Comments

Hi Everyone!

Today, design team member Julie has some great inspiration using the adorable Polar Bear Holiday stamp set from Close To My Heart! Take a look!

Hello!

Today had to show a series of CAS-cards that I made for The Crafty Pickle .

Next will be a lot of pictures and a little bit of English text, which gives me difficulty, still) Happy viewing and winter CAS-inspiration!

***

Hello!

Today I want to show you my winter card series with the cutest polar bears!

I USED the Polar Bear Holiday Stamp set from Close To My Heart Shop

These stamps are very good and these bears are absolutely gorgeous!

For my first card I used the bear on the sledge. I coloured the scarf with watercolor pencils, stamped the sentiment inside of the card and made a round window to see it. I love the beautiful golden stars – it’s a perfect little accent.

For the second card I made the background using the snowflake stamp from the set. Little tiny snowflake looks great! I also create the snowdrifts and embossed it. I think that the bear wearing hood is my favorite!

And my third card has silver heat embossing. Snowflakes looks very beautiful, especially in the sunshine. Here, I coloured the bear’s sweaters using Distress Ink and water.

I hope this helps you get in a wintry holiday mood!

***

That’s all for today, I hope you enjoyed my card series)

Have a nice day!

-Julie

Hi Everyone!

Up on the blog today we have a terrific Project Life layout from Stephanie! Take a look!

Hey y’all! Hope you are having a Wonderful Wednesday.
I have a PL spread to share today featuring flair and sequins from The Crafty Pickle!

I have used the Autumn flair and the Autumn Sequins mix. The flatter back of these flair buttons make them easy to add to my PL pages & they fit in my album without a ton of bulk! Check out the awesome selection in the store.

The two larger journal cards are from WRMK & the smaller “Gratitude” card is from MAMBI. Fall is one of my favorite seasons & I adore these photos from a trip to an apple orchard that our family likes to visit. The flair & sequins helped give the feel of Autumn to my page.

Thanks for visiting today. Keep crafty!!

~Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie! I love how the sequins and flair added the special touch to an already awesome layout!

It’s PSL season!

Published on November 13, 2014November 13, 2014 by Taniesa3 Comments

Hi there, its Treasa here today to share a Project Life card that I made using some of the new Autumn sequin mix in The Crafty Pickle shop and a new flair badge that Taniesa created for wonderful fall season. I must confess that I absolutely love the fall, mostly because of the beautiful trees and the cooler weather but also because its “Pumpkin Season” and I love anything pumpkin and one of my most favorites are Pumpkin Spice Lattes from Starbucks. These things are fabulous and its like getting a mouthful of fall.
As soon as I received the Autumnsequin mix and thePSl flair I knew I had to create a Project Life card to document my love of PSL.

Here is a close up of that wonderful PSL flair and some of the sequins from the Autumn mix.

I also used some of the paper from the Close to my Heart Pathfinding line. This collection is so perfect for fall and coordinates so well with the Cozy Fall button flairs in the shop. You can also find the Pathfinding collection in Taniesa’s CTMH shop here.

Here’s one last look at the gorgeous Autumn sequin mix in the shop.

Thank you for stopping by and go check out The Crafty Pickle shop and blog.

Thanks, Treasa! I loved how you used all the fun fall products to make such a beautiful card for your Project Life album!!

Happy Crafting!

Hi Crafty Friends

Alicia Falu

Alicia’s Blog can be found HERE.

Hello! My name is Alicia Hill from Puerto Rico, but I live in Georgia, my second home, I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of TheCrafty Pickle team! I love paper, design, make boxes, scrapbooking, cardmakimg, pastel colors, did I say card making?? LOL!!, , flowers, reading, calligraphy, but most of all my husband, son and cats and the wonderful life we have together, we are very blessed I’ve been scrapbooking/cards making since I was a teenager and absolutely love how it makes me feel! My style – bright and clean (elegant) sometime shabby chic

And why not get some mixed media on it!

Catherine Martin

Cathy’s Blog can be found HERE

My name is Cathy and I have been scrapping since 2009, after my son was born. I am a graphic designer and illustrator by trade, though I am currently working as a floral designer. I absolutely love crafting in every form and I honestly don’t know what I would do if I wasn’t creating! I love using new and different embellishments in my scrapbooking and am always eager to expand my scrappy knowledge. For me my scrapbook pages are ways to preserve my family memories, but they are also little mini works of art, and I use my scrapbooking to express myself artistically.

I can’t wait to see what creative things these two have in store for us! See you back tomorrow for two more close ups!

A Thank You card and a Project Life card using Flair

Published on October 23, 2014October 22, 2014 by Taniesa9 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today I have teamed up with Scrap your Scraps to share some ideas using Flair buttons! I wanted to share two different ideas using some brand new Flair that I just added to The Crafty Pickle Etsy Store.

First up is a thank you gift card holder that I made using my silhouette and a flair from the Cozy Fall Set. I adore Autumn and pumpkin spice latte’s are my favorite!

I used some cardstock I had on hand and cut out the card design on my Silhouette using design # 29511

I die cut a tag from some cardstock scraps I had, added a little bit of decorative trim and attached it with a little clothes pin. I attached the PSL (pumpkin spice latte) button with some tombo xtreme adhesive. You could also use a button from the Starbucks flair set too, I just wanted to go for an autumn feel with this card.

The inside has room for the coffee gift card as well as a little room to write a personal message.

Once it was all finished I slipped the card into a clear envelope and tossed in some of the exclusive autumn mix sequins from The Crafty Pickle Etsy shop for a little added fun touch.

Next up I have a project life card that I am sure anyone can find use for in their album, Mine is usually inspired by one of my teenage boys dodging the camera. For this card I am using the Photo Not Available flair from the Everyday Photo #2 set

To make this card I took a white piece of heavy cardstock that was in my scrap pile and cut out the camera design on my silhouette (Design #41015) The design called for several shades of gray but I only had two shades on hand so I just cut everything out of the white cardstock and colored the pieces with my copic markers (N8, N6, N4, N2, Y15, and Y19) I also used my wink of stella glitter pen and my Stardust gelly roll pen by Sakura

I attached a few sequins (that are always included in my flair packages) and attached the Photo Not Available flair with some Tombo Xtreme adhesive. The base card is a Becky Higgins Project Life grid card.

As you can see above my flair has a very low profile making it ideal for page protectors of all types, especially pocket pages. It’s about the same dimension as chipboard or thickers.

If you haven’t visited The Crafty Pickle Etsy shop recently you might be surprised to find over 30 new flair sets including our new color patterned pop collection and some special limited edition sequins mixes.

Make sure you Stop by the Scrap your Scraps blog for even more flair inspiration, Not to mention a fun giveaway from The Crafty Pickle Etsy Store too!!!

Happy Crafting!
