Handmade Greetings with Carrie Bryant

Published on January 28, 2015January 28, 2015 by Taniesa10 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!!!

Today our designer, Carrie Bryant, has some beautiful cards she has created with just one Close To My Heart stamp set. Take a look!!!

Hello! Today I am sharing with you a few Handmade Greeting Cards that I created using my new “Your Own Kind of Wonderful” CTMH Acrylix stamp set

As you can see there are six different sayings along with six different sized butterflies. Making this a great value with twelve different stamps in one set.

I love this set for it’s versatility in creating cards for several different occasions. I like to make up several cards at one time so I always have a handmade card on hand for any special occasion. After all who want to pay $5.00 or more for a store bought card? Any everyone loves a handmade card better anyway.

I used some pre-made chalkboard style cards for my base, I then pulled out my watercolors and painted the background for my stamped image. I really like the bold outline of the butterflies and when I painted the inside with my watercolors they really pop off my cards. CTMH Arcylix stamps are some of the highest quality stamps I have worked with. They stamp a clean image every time. They peel off the backing and are super adhesive to the stamping block, they also clean up really easy.

I used the same butterflies on this card. After I painted them in I fussy cut them out and used some 3D pop dots to mount them to my card base. I then created a watercolor banner that I stamped my sentiment on. I used some sequins to embellish my cards too. You can find this pretty Fruity Pebbles sequin mix in TheCraftyPickle Etsy shop.

This one is my favorite. I just love this sentiment. I plan on giving this one to my daughter for her Graduation this year.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Scrappin’

Carrie

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!

Happy 8th Birthday

Published on January 15, 2015January 15, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Today designer, Stephanie is showing a birthday card she made for her son. Take a look!

Hey y’all! Hope your Thursday is going well. We had some ice & schools were closed yesterday so I am playing catch-up today!
Tomorrow is Ty’s 8th birthday so I made him a card. I wanted to keep it somewhat simple since he is a boy & doesn’t appreciate frills!

I started with the slate blue cardstock & added the plaid paper on top. This was in my scraps box from long ago!

I used the “Happy Birthday” flair from The Crafty Pickle. It is from their Birthday button flair set. The set includes 4 flat-backed buttons that are perfect for birthday crafting!

The sequins on my card is also from The Crafty Pickle. It is the winter sequins mix. I just love the little snowflakes! The cardstock snowflake was punched with my Marvy punch.
Taniesa has a bunch of new flair & sequins in the shop! Be sure to stop by & stock up!! These cold, snowy winter days are the perfect time to craft!

Take care,
~Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie! I always have a hard time with those masculine cards, this is great!

Happy Crafting!

Here is my page that I completed:

Snow…. in California?

Published on January 5, 2015January 5, 2015 by Taniesa2 Comments

Hi Crafty Friends!

Happy New Year! I hope the holidays treated you well and that you’re off to a great 2015! Today, designer Carrie has a great first layout of 2015 showing her home in california covered in snow! It doesn’t happen often so this was a nice surprise! Check it out!

Happy New Year. I can hardly believe it’s 2015.

Today I am sharing my first winter layout. This page will actually be at the end of my 2014 family album. We had a rare snow fall where I live in Murrieta California. It has not snowed here in ten years, and even then it was just a dusting. We actually got about a foot of snow that lasted several days.

For this page I used a ton of beautiful shiny sequins from TheCraftyPicklethey came in the Winter Mix pack. Can I just tell you that I am a bit obsessed with sequins right now. They are such an easy embellishment and very reasonably priced. Easy to apply with a bit of liquid glue or mini glue dots.


Here is a closer look at some cards I created by embossing some snowflakes onto vellum and then adding a bit of shimmer watercolors. I of course added some sequins to embellish these cards too.

When you order flair from Taniesa your flair is packaged with sequins/confetti in a glassine bag.

Its like a little party when you open the cute little package. I use these sequins all the time, they are the perfect accent to any project.

This glitter flair is perfect on my pages, adds that special touch I like to set the feeling I want to document.

Of course I had to add one of my new blue color pop flairs to this card. It matches my sequins too.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Happy Scrappin in the New Year

Carrie

Thanks Carrie! I LOVE your layout and I am a wee bit Jealous of your snow (we didn’t get any snow in my part of California).

A big thank you to all of my readers. You have made my journey with my blog and the growth of my business(s) so fun and so worthwhile for me. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Happy Crafting!

Sketches and Sequins with Stephanie!

Hi Everyone!

Ever get in a creative slump? Designer, Stephanie, took a sketch and made it her own with accents of TheCraftyPickle sequins and some flair. Check it out!

Hey y’all! I hope this day is treating you well! We are fighting off colds around here & trying to get healthy for the New Year!

I have a post to share today featuring flair & sequins from The Crafty Pickle. I made a layout using this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches:

Here is my page:

I started by stamping the circles on my cardstock. I then added strips of paper from my stash. I love, love, love using up scraps!!

The black & white striped paper is from Glitz & the multi-colored snowflake paper is from Imaginisce. The stars are from Pink Paislee & the journal card is from Pretty Little Studio.

Here is a closer look at the red & white flair button from TCP. I love how festive it is! I also love how well it matches the paper here from Elle’s Studio. You can get a good look at the Christmas sequins mix here too.

The crown is from Um Wow Studios & I misted it red then added some coarse glitter.

This arrow flair button is glittery & the perfect accent to my Christmas page!

There’s more of the yummy Christmas sequins & the ornament die cut is from Pink Paislee. My alphas are from Fancy Pants.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a crafty day!

~Stephanie

Thanks Stephanie! I LOVE your layout!!!

Happy Crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends!

Designer, Cathy, is up with an adorable holiday layout! Check it out

Hey everyone it’s Cathy here with another post for The Crafty Pickle. I wanted to use some of the wonderful December/Christmas flair badges and sequins and I thought what better way to use the lovely candy striped badges then to showcase them on a layout about my daughter getting candy canes stuck in her hair. I apologize that the photos aren’t at their normal quality, I ended up having to take them with my phone instead of my usual Canon camera.
