Kids and Project Life

Published on July 30, 2015July 29, 2015 by cimorosete1 Comment

Hi there, its Treasa here today and I wanted to share how I get my granddaughter involved in my Project Life album. Of course I have tons of photos of her and memorabilia from places and events but I wanted to have her add a personal touch to my album. So I have her draw me a picture or write me a note on a PL card. I think it will be a great way to look back on and remember that time.

Today I gave her a plain 4×6 piece of heavy weight cardstock and asked her to draw me a picture of her and I and this is what she came up with:I just added a star for the flair to sit on and added the date to the card. In case you can’t tell that is her and me sitting by the pool.

I love how I can get custom flair from The Crafty Pickle to help make my PL album more personalized. The Art by flair is also available in several different colors and you can also get it as a magnet and display your little ones art on the refrigerator.

So grab some blank PL cards and hand your kids some crayons, markers, pencils and let them help make your PL album more personal and special.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!!!

Organizing FlairTastic Friday!!!

Published on July 24, 2015July 24, 2015 by kzfougLeave a comment

Happy Friday Y’all!!!

This is the last in our series in FlairTastic Friday!! It is all about organization organization organization!!! Let us see what you got in the order of organization…

This is what Taniesa has for you:

I saw ideas of putting them flat in CD cases. Putting them in packaging inside a basket and flipping though them, even putting them in coin page protectors and placing in a binder. All very clever ideas but none of which I thought would work for me.

I knew that they needed to be organized by color. If you have seen my previous posts you know that I organize nearly everything by color. I also knew that I needed something that would have room to add more than my current collection. I didn’t want to have to have multiple cases for one type of embellishment (except washi tape and PL cards, those don’t count ).

While I was at Michaels in the beading section I came across a fantastic sectioned organizer (for bead organization) and it was really reasonable ($5.99) It had more space than a embroidery floss organizer box ($2.99) and I figured it just might work. Here is my little button collection.

In addition to organizing by color I have 4 sections dedicated to seasonal buttons. Spring, summer, fall, and winter. There is also multi-colored button sections and spaces for specific themed flair.

This is from Joann:

She sent me this idea that she found on the internet- Clipboard at a glance -love this idea..check out the link!!!

Here is a link to her post:

http://studiombymarian.blogspot.com/2015/01/flair-button-embellishment-organization.html

This is some great ideas that I found out on Pinterest:

Use an old letterpress drawer or curio shelf to organize embellishments….

Here is a link to her blog to see how she used this letter press to organize here project life embellishments

And then one last one I had to share…. Here

Thus looks so awesome and you can for sure see all your fair in one place!!!

Stop by The Crafty Pickle Etsy Shop if you haven’t been by recently. We will be releasing a few little things between now and our next big release. We will also be having a big TCP Birthday celebration in August with giveaways and a brand new exclusive foil flair!

Flair On A Layout

Published on July 21, 2015July 20, 2015 by stephanieeakenLeave a comment

Hey TCP friends! It’s Stephanie from Bits & Pieces (& Scraps) here today to share my latest layout with you. I created a Fourth of July page using the All American flair set.

I have to admit, I don’t create many patriotic pages! They intimidate me, but these flair buttons make the process fun and exciting!! I used three of the six in the set.

I hand cut several banners to accent the top corner and have one laying on top of my photo. I love how this takes away some of the blank space of my photo. I added a chipboard arrow & the “Happy Birthday America” flair. LOVE this one!

More hand cut banners under my photo act as a matt. I then mounted the “July 4” flair onto a punched scalloped circle. The paint here acts as my journal block.

A pre-printed banner at the bottom & “the Land of the Free Because of the Brave” flair finish off the bottom of my page.

I kept my layout pretty simple and love the dimension the flair buttons add to my page! I could have used them all but wanted to save the remaining three for another page (or maybe cards)!!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the day!

Wearable Flair? Yes!!!! Hello FlairTastic Friday!

Published on July 17, 2015July 17, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Happy Friday Everyone!

Every Friday though the summer months we will bring you a new idea/concept using flair. Your not going to want to miss these fun posts! These ideas will come from not only our designers but also super neat flairtastic ideas we find from our customers and other talented papercrafters. Make sure that when you share any of your projects on Instagram or Facebook using flair, that you tag it #FlairTasticFriday. You just might see your own photo featured here on our blog!

This week we will be showing you a few ideas taking flair off your pages to actual wearable art!

First up we have an adorable project created by our designer Joann!

Joann added some flair from our Cute Bugs set for her adorable little girl. How precious are these? I think they would be great in the center of a bow as well. Totally adorable, Joann!!

Next we have a few ideas that have caught our eye… Take a look!

These adorable flair ribbons are just too adorable and would make a perfect wearable award or celebration pin. Love this for birthdays, weddings, achievements, and so much more. These were designed by Page Evans.

If you were an 80’s or early 90’s kid chances are you had a jacket similar to this one. I remember wearing my collection on my varsity jacket in high school. (photo found on pinterest)

What a great idea of wearing a bunch of pin back buttons of the same theme? We saw this photo on pinterest and fell in love with it!

I love that these are kid designed buttons. You can read more about it HERE. For a smaller option our “Make your own Flair Buttons” would be a similar and fun idea.

Last but not least we have a photo share from one of our very own customers!

Customer Liz ordered a custom button necklace with her loved ones names inside our glitter heart flair, we thought her daughter needed one as well. Aren’t these two just adorable!

Not only do we carry necklaces, but these adorable Hair ties as well.

We can make these hair ties with any flair in the shop or even a custom design.

Keep your eye out for our new wearable interchangeable magnetic jewelry coming to TCP’s shop in just a few weeks!

It must be the kid in me that loves flair so much. I loved wearing it then and I love wearing it now. Adding it to my papercrafting is an added bonus.

How do you wear your flair?

Dont forget to use the hashtag #FlairTasticFriday to play along with us!

See you for more FlairTastic Ideas next Friday!

Till Then….

Happy Crafting!

Hi there, its Treasa here today to share with you some cards I created using flair from the Movie Night set and the Cinema Relish Mix from The Crafty Pickle Shop.

First up I created a popcorn gift card holder. I used the movie tickets flair from the Movie Night set and the reel from the Cinema Relish Mix.

You pull the popcorn out and the gift card is tucked up inside. I also added a star from the Cinema Relish Mix as well as some Film Strip washi tape from the shop.

I also wanted to create a couple cards for my Project Life album.

I created the base of both cards digitally then went to town adding some items from the shop.

For the Movie Night card, i used the Popcorn flair from the Movie Night set and a reel, movie camera and stars from the Cinema Relish Mix as well as used some of the Film strip washi tape.

For the “I Reely Love You ” card, I put two reels from the Cinema Relish Mix together and added some thin ribbon to look like the film . I also used some of the stars from the Cinema Relish Mix too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Cute on the inside as well as the outside! Card by Stephanie.

Hey TCP friends!

It’s Stephanie from Bits & Pieces (& Scraps) here to share my project today. I am featuring flair from The Crafty Pickle in a greeting card. I created this thank you card to send to our family members that recently hosted us at their lake house.

I began with a pre-made card and then punched 3 butterflies in coordinating colors. The flair I used here is the adorable butterfly from the “Cute Bugs” set. I love the added touch of something pretty when you open the card too! You can find this, as well as so much more, in the shop!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Friday Everyone!

Super fun finds today on the blog ….we are going to be showing you different ways to display all of your beautiful flair!

First, check out the fun things we found using flair in artwork and displays!

We just loved all the different ways that people used flair as artwork and home decor…such wonderful idea to display all the fun flair from the store!!!

Found on
wedding decor ,Heart canvas ,Hoop , Frame it!!!

Next we have a few ideas from the TCP Designers!

First, we have an adorable table display that would be perfect for any party or even a wedding. Carrie used some custom TCP flair and Graduation flair to decorate a table at her daughter’s graduation party.To see more about the custom flair that Carrie had created view her previous blog post HERE.

Next, Joann is displaying something adorable and useful for your everyday. She decorated this inexpensive metal display board at the local craft store, added a bit of washi and some number flair from the TCP shop and she now has a great visual daily/weekly reminder of things going on for her family. Did you know you can make any flair button in the shop into a magnet? Setting up a fun calendar like this can be done in a snap! Stop by Joann’s blog for more info!

Next up is Taniesa who has a special gift she created for her daughter for her birthday. Using pieces of clipart she found, she created flair that represents everything her 8 year old daughter is into at the moment. She then attached it to a painted canvas and filled in spots using buttons, gems, enamel dots, and other fun bits and pieces. Tutorial on this project is coming soon! You can create fun flair like this too by choosing the Create your own Flair listing in the TCP Shop!

How will you display your flair?

Super Sweet Wedding Card!!!

Published on June 30, 2015June 30, 2015 by kzfoug2 Comments

Happy Tuesday!

Joann here today sharing a wedding card that I made using the CTMH Cricut Artiste Cartridge!

When this cartridge came out I fell in love with it. It has so many great cuts, which include tons of 3D items, boxes, labels, cards with envelopes, phrases and much more (check out the handbook here). I cut the frame (pg. 60) and the phrase (pg. 61) from the CTMH Artiste Cartridge.

I cut both images twice, once out of black and once out of a light grey cardstock to help add a little shadow. I also cut a few stripes of pattern paper to add to the left side of the card and a stripe of CTMH Cotton Candy cardstock to help add some color.
