Watercolor your Valentine’s Day with Treasa

Published on February 9, 2015February 9, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you had a great weekend! Treasa has some fantastic ideas for you using TCP’s Watercolor hearts flair set. Take a look.

Hi there, I can not believe that it’s almost Valentines day. This year is already going by super fast. Today I wanted to share with you all some Valentines Day cards that I made for my Project Life album using watercolors. I was totally inspired these Watercolor hearts flair badges in The Crafty Pickle shop.

So I cut me down some 3×4 blank cards and got out my watercolor pencils and started creating. Here are the cards that I came up with.

I hope that these cards inspire you to pull out your watercolors and create some fabulous cards. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!

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,

Vintage Valentine Love

Hi Crafty Friends!

Designer, Cathy Martin, is up with a sweet layout featuring the new Vintage Valentine flair from TheCraftyPickle Etsy shop! Take a look!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

It’s February 3rd, which means it’s only 11 days until Valentines Day. Now I’m not a big Valentines person, but I do love doing themed layouts and taking cute pictures of my kids! For today I made a layout featuring flair from The Crafty Pickle! I used some flair from the Vintage Valentines set pictured below.

For my layout I went all artistic! I used mist, water colours, and chalkboard paint to add some extra touches to my background. I had so much fun creating this layout, it was a bit different for me to just let loose and go with the flow but I liked just putting stuff down without worry about it looking perfect! I was also amazed with how easy and quickly this layout came together. The flair added just a little bit of a vintage touch to a more modern layout.

Make sure you check out all the wonderful Valentines collections available at The Crafty Pickle as well as some sweet sequins to go along with all your lovey dovey projects!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Thank you so much for sharing, Cathy. I love the black and white with bright pops of pink and of course the Vintage Valentine Flair.

Happy Crafting!

Valentine’s Day Mason Jars

Published on February 2, 2015February 2, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

I can hardly believe it is February already!! Designer, Stephanie, has an adorable little Valentine project to share with you all today. Check it out!!

________________________________________________________________________

Hey y’all! Happy February, already!!
I am thinking about Valentine’s Day, which will be here before we know it! I wanted to do something small for the kids’ teachers, so I thought mason jars filled with candy would be perfect. Who doesn’t love chocolate?!

I bought these jars at the dollar spot at Target then pulled out a bunch of Valentine related embellishments to decorate them.

The flair buttons are from The Crafty Pickle from theWatercolor Hearts set. This set is great for Valentine’s Day & comes with six assorted 1″ buttons.

I filled the jars with a bunch of chocolate kisses, a chocolate heart & candy bar. I think their teachers will enjoy them-I know I would! Now I just need to make a few more before February 14th!!

Take care & keep crafty!

Handmade Valentine Treats with Joann.

Published on January 29, 2015January 29, 2015 by Taniesa3 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Classroom moms, This one is totally for you!!! Our designer Joann has such a fantastic idea for some valentine’s she has created from some personalized flair. Completely adorable!!! Check it out!!

_____________________________________________________________________

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

Today I am sharing some fun treats! These will be great for classmates, students, and even coworkers. I received some personalized flair with the names of my kids from TCP etsy shop and used them to personalized some treats for Valentines.

Create amazing Valentine's using custom flair from TheCraftyPickle.com

Here are the steps:

Start with a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of White Daisy cardstock
On the 3 1/2 inch side score at 1/2 and 3
Rotate clockwise and on the 4 inch side score at 7/8
After you have scored everything place your piece of cardstock where the 3 1/2 inch side is horizontal and the 4 inch side is vertical.
There will be two rectangles at the bottom left and right corner, take some scissors and remove those two sections.
I took my corner rounder and rounded the top corners and the bottom corner (the part that will fold up)

I took a background stamp and stamped the image to create my background and took the little heart from the CTMH Countdown stamp set to add in random places. I punched (2) 1 3/8 circles from someCranberry and Cotton Candy cardstock, (2) 1 1/4 circles from White Daisy cardstock and stamped an image using the CTMH Perfect Fit- Dad stamp set with some Cranberry and Cotton Candy Ink onto the White Daisy circles.

I layered them and added my beautiful personalized flair. Finishing them off by cutting some gold pieces of cardstock into banners and a cherry lollipop!

I hope you enjoyed today’s mini project. Thanks for stopping by!

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
