Hi again Crafty Friends!

Two posts in one day means it’s a GREAT Friday! Today our designer, Cathy, is showing off one fantastic layout using TCP flair! Check it out!

Hi everyone, it’s Cathy here again with another layout for The Crafty Pickle. One of my favourite embellishments to use on a layout is flair badges, and since I have so many awesome ones from The Crafty Pickle I figured I’d see how many I could fit on a page! I mean, what’s better than one flair badge? Well in this case six flair badges! Now right now Taniesas’ wonderful shop is on a short break, but when it’s up and running again be sure to check out the awesome collections I used to create my layout! I also used some stamps from Close To My Heart to round out my design! In order to achieve dimension with my badges I used hot glue for some and foam squares for the others so that I could layer them. Don’t be afraid to grab some of your stash of badges and pile ’em up high! The more the merrier!

I think this is one of my favorite’s of yours, Cathy! Thank you so much for sharing!

Happy Crafting!

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!

Hi Crafty Friends.

Today we have an adorable layout from designer, Cathy Martin! She shows how you can take a seasonal flair piece and make it work for everyday embellishing. Take a look!

It’s time for my first layout for the new year for The Crafty Pickle! Taniesa has been working overtime getting lots of new fun flairs and other items ready for her shop. I am loving the sequins that she’s offering now! Be sure to pop on over to her Etsy shop and take a look!

For my layout today I used two flair badges from her Autumn collection. I love the versatility of these badges, and how cute is that fox!

And here is my layout! I was inspired from a layout by Martha Bonneau at Cocoa Daisy

Thanks so much for stopping by today, have a crafty day!

Adorable! Love all of the detail. Thank you so much for sharing, Cathy!

Have you seen the new sequins in our shop?? We have an adorable Valentine mix as well as two other must have limited edition mixes! Check them out HERE.

Happy Crafting!

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?
