Happy December!

Hi Crafty Friends!

We’re kicking off December with a few cute ideas from designer, Carrie Bryant! Take a look!!!

Happy December first….. can you believe it? I would like to kick the
day off right by sharing my first Christmas project of the season. I
started making a few Christmas tags. I will add these to some Special
gifts this year.

I decided to use some of my leftover scrap goodies from last years December Daily project. I used some scrap paper to cut big tags with my Sizzix Big Shot. I Gathered some scrap ribbon and used

my extra CraftyPickle flairs from last year, these are the perfect embellishment on my tags.

I also added some beautiful Holiday Sequins that are new in TheCraftyPickle shop now

This was a quick and fun project to get me in the Holiday crafting mood.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope this encourages you to start your Holiday crafting.

Till next time.

Happy Scrappin’

Carrie

Simply adorable, Carrie! Thanks for kicking off December with fun holiday inspiration!!!

Happy Crafting!

Crisp and Cool layout by designer, Cathy!

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?

Beautiful work, Cathy. Love it!

Happy Crafting!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Check out the absolutely adorable birthday cards that TCP designer, Stephanie has for you today!

Hey y’all! Hope this Tuesday finds you well & (if you’re in the US), getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday! It’s such a great time for being with family & giving thanks for all that we are fortunate enough to have. And then, it’s time to gear up for Christmas! While I love the season & am really excited, we have some birthdays to celebrate first! My nephew has a birthday in November & my youngest nephew’s birthday
is on December 12. Leah’s birthday is December 10 & she will be 12 this year! Holy-time is flying!!!
So before I dive head first into the Christmas season, I made some birthday cards. Both feature flair & sequins from The Crafty Pickle.

I used the Birthday button flair set & the Winter Sequins mix for both of my cards.

For my second card, I started with sketch #111 fromCardabilities and made Leah’s birthday card

I love the shimmer of this “Happy Birthday” flair! It’s great for a 12 year-old girl!!

be sure to visit The Crafty Pickle shop to see these products, and more!

Now that these birthday cards are behind me, I can make more Christmas projects!!

Have a good one!

Thankful Cards with designer, Kristin!

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today, TCP Designer, Kristin, has some adorable handmade pocket cards she is sharing perfect for this season. Take a look!

Hi Kristin here with my first blog post for The Crafty Pickle and I thought that this “Thankful Heart” stamps set just screamer for me to make some pocket pages cards for the kids to write what they were “Thankful” for this year!!

On the top left hand corner cards I thought that I would put a 5X7 picture of my family and I would slide it under the “Thankful Heart” stamped sentiment, then on the cards the kids would write over the wood grain embossing folders from Close to my Heart and all the different techniques I tried with the 3 different leafs stamps that were in the Thankful Heart stamp set, and then I added the arrow button flair set on the cards for you to follow your eyes around the layout!!!

And then here are the close-ups:

Product I used:

Pathfinder Paper Pack

Thankful Heart Stamp Set

Arrow button flair set of 6

Black & Brown Stazon

Ranger White Super Fine Embossing Powder
Paper Trimmer, Foam Mat & Corner Rounder

Thank you for looking at my work!!

-Kristin

Thanks Kristin, adorable cards!!!

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

Thanks Julie. I love those cute little polar bears and your cards are absolutely adorable!

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!

Creative gift idea using flair.

Hi Friends!

Today we have a great gift idea from design team member, Joann!If you stopped by my blog a few days ago, I shared with you all that I participated in a couple of Christmas craft fairs! It was my first time, and let me tell you, it was an awesome experience. I met a lot of people and actually made a few friends!

So with that said, I am sharing with you my first The Crafty Pickle Design Team post! I had a few nugget tins left over from my fairs (8 to be exact, lol) and I thought that I could redesign them for a few Thanksgiving gifts for a few family members and friends!

I used both CTMH Cartridges (Artiste and Art Philosophy) to cut all of my leaves at 2 inches and used some watercolors to give them so color. I wrapped my nugget tin with some craft paper (cutting that at 2 inches) and tied some brown twine. I then glued all of my leaves down and added some TCP November Flair to the center where all of my leaves met and finished it off with some fabulous TCP Autumn Sequins Mix! Hope you enjoyed my gift idea!
