Hi Crafty friends! Happy Monday to you all. Hope it is going well so far for you!

I have another layout to share today using flair buttons from the store. Today I used a button from the gold foil collection that I absolutely adore and one from the “Life Documented” collection.

I started with a sketch from Let’s Get Sketchy this month and kept my page pretty simple. I love this photo of my two kiddos along with their cousins on St. Patrick’s Day! I wanted it to stand out and the flair buttons placed at each end of the picture really help to anchor it yet also make it pop!

I chose the “Oh Happy Day” button to compliment the beige and green on the page.

The “Today” flair button worked well with the St. Patrick’s Day theme!

Try adding some fun flair to your next scrapbook page! I guarantee you’ll love the results!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday Planner Love!

Hi Friends & Happy Tuesday!

It’s Lisa here today to share this week’s planner layout. Planners are on trend in the Paper crafting community. The Crafty Pickle’s shop will be opening back up soon. Be sure to check out all of the planner goodies in The Crafty Pickle’s new inventory. It’s a planner’s dream!!

For this layout, I was inspired by the new goodies in The Craft Pickle Shop. I covered all of the lines on the page using The Crafty Pickle’s thin glitter Washi Tape. This defines the boxes and makes it fun!! The Crafty Pickle just introduced the Sticky Pickle Spot Stickers. These are so awesome to accent important appointments or to just decorate with. They come in asterisks, stars, hearts and circles.

Adding any of the Relish Mixes to your planner gives a fun, sparkly and thin embellishment. These come in all colors, I used the Rock Candy Mix and are super easy to attach. I used a dot of Glossy Accents to attach them. Who doesn’t love sequins???!!!

I used the Project Life Everyday Line paper pad & cardstock stickers to accent my layout. I cut triangles & rectangles to accent the planner boxes which adds some color and texture to the pages.

I also attached a “This Month” planner clip! The Crafty Pickle has come out with personalized clips that are adorable!! I used the planner clip to “bookmark” my week. That makes it super easy to grab my week!

Product List:

Rock Candy Relish Mix

Planner Clip

TCP Washi Rolls

Project Life – Everyday Edition 6 x6 Paper Pad

Project Life – Everyday Cardstock Stickers

Miscellaneous Print & Cut Sticker files from Etsy

Glossy Accents

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the new items as soon as the store opens back up. There are so many things that are perfect for your planner!

Happy Planning!

Minions Movie Night Pocket Letter

Published on October 9, 2015September 29, 2015 by TabithaLeave a comment

Hi Pickle Gals! I am so excited to share with you another one of my Pocket Letter creations using some fun goodies from The Crafty Pickle Etsy Shop (temporarily closed during their relocation). Who doesn’t love Minions and a good movie night?! I printed some fun clipart that I found searching Pinterest and Google and cut that out and layered it onto some MME and Basic Grey paper. The Movie Night Flair assortment adds some fun details and pop of dimension–and some cool shaker elements! They were actually what inspired my whole letter–then I used the Movie Night Sequin Relish mix, and the pineapple relish mix with a few google eyes to make some fun shaker pockets with my WRMK Fuse tool (which I LOVE!). Check out some detail shots below and don’t forget to check back often for an announcement of the shop’s reopening and more fun ideas!

Have a crafty weekend Friends!

Sweet Birthday Card

Published on September 28, 2015September 27, 2015 by stephanieeakenLeave a comment

Hey Crafty friends! It’s Stephanie here today to share my latest card using The Crafty Pickle flair.

My sweet friend from high school (yep, we’ve been friends a LONG time!) had a birthday a week ago and I made her this card:

It’s a pretty simple card, using scrap papers from my stash, some rumpled ribbon, foam alphas and this very cute elephant flair button! She adores elephants and when I first saw this button, she came to mind!

Isn’t the flair button the cutest?! I just love it and hope she enjoys this sweet card as well.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope it’s a crafty one for you!

First there really are no rules to journal in your Bible but I got this cute little card in the mail the other day and thought I would share it ….I am no expert in this field just enjoy playing in my Bible …

faith

I usually come home from church on Sunday and that evening try and make my little entry into my Bible ..sometimes I like to think about what I am going to do for a bit and sometimes I just want to do a little bit in my book..just depends on my mood … but all the products from the store work fabulous for my book and all the CTMH

stamps work wonderful in the side margins of your journaling bible also…

Check out my sweet page….

I used:

PLAN on shopping TheCraftyPickle TOMORROW!

Published on August 13, 2015 by TaniesaLeave a comment

Hey there Sweet Pickles!

Bad pickle pun aside, we are opening up the TCP shop tomorrow afternoon and you will definitely want to stop by and see all the new pickle picks! Some of which we are showing you today!

First up is something I am so excited about. Midori’s and Fauxdori’s are all the rage right now and you know how us girls love to accessorize! We have created this cute little customizable Midori Charm to go on your bands….. but guess what? It’s interchangeable! The midori charm is magnetic which means you can add ANY of TCP’s buttons/flair designed or personalized to your midori charm! (this beautiful Fauxdori is the wide version from East And Rory , stop by, view her beautiful collection, and tell her The Crafty Pickle sent you. I love shopping small and handmade)

Next up isn’t something terribly new (more like new and improved), you have seen the large 3 inch clips in our store before but now there are MORE planner designs than ever, we also have personalized planner flair to go on clips (or not) and more clip styles. The Crafty Pickle recently added three new very talented planner girls to our design team! You will be seeing these and a lot more pickle planner essentials in the shop tomorrow as well as their designs! Just look at that gold foil flair on a gold clip? Swoon!

Are you hyped yet? Well if not GET EXCITED because you have only seen such a small portion of what we have coming your way! I am hard at work listing everything this week. I tell ya, this pickle girl has been powered by caffeine to get all these pretty pickle things posted by tomorrow.

I want to take a moment to thank all of you, my readers and my customers for the support you have shown my little business. Without God and without all of you my store would be nothing. I am truly humbled by the growth and progress TCP has made in the last two years. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart!

See you all tomorrow for our GRAND RE-OPENING of THE CRAFTY PICKLE on Etsy!!!!

Pickle Hugs!

I love you more than doughnuts!

Hello, Carrie here with a sneak peek at some New items coming soon to TheCraftyPickle shop this Friday.

Doughnuts are a big thing around our house with the teenagers. I recently purchased this adorable stamp from CTMH ( Close To My Heart ) Its called “Treats of Friendship”

I created this adorable card, embellishing it with one of the new release flairs. Notice the sweet sprinkle washi tape? This too will be available as part of the new release. We are adding a ton of washi and New design flairs to the shop so be sure to pop in on Friday.

Here is a close up look at my card. I added some glossy accents to my frosting on the doughnut for some dimension and shine. And of course a few pickle relish sequins to finish off my card.

See you Friday for the BIG release and Grand Re-Opening of the Pickle Shop.

Here is a little sneak photo for you showing the doughnut flair and a few other yummy new flair too!

Beautiful Butterfly Watercolor flair.

Published on June 16, 2015June 16, 2015 by carriebryant2 Comments

Good Morning Happy Scrappers.

Today I am going to share with you a quick Birthday card I created using a beautiful watercolor Butterfly flair from #TheCraftyPickle Etsy shop

I love creating my own backgrounds using Adirondack alcohol inks

First thing I did was to squirt two colors of the alcohol ink onto my splat mat and then add some blending solution. This helps to spread the ink around. Then I just laid my glossy card stock right on top of the ink.


I love the watercolor affect this technique creates.

Once my card base was dry I stenciled some white clouds and then stamped my Happy Birthday sentiment by Technique Tuesday.

To complete my card I layered some pretty pattern papers onto my card base, added my beautiful Butterfly flair and tied some silver floss around the center.

Crafty Pickle flair is the perfect embellishment for beautiful greeting cards. Be sure and stop by The Crafty Pickle Etsy shop

and grab some today.

Happy Scrappin’

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy Friday! We’re back with two more Designer close ups today!

Stephanie Eaken

Hi! My name is Stephanie Eaken & I am a 41 year old stay at home mom. My daughter is 11 & is in her first year of middle school (so far, so good!) & my son is a 7 year old second grader. We live in a suburb of Richmond, VA with my husband of 15 years. Drew & I met in my senior year of high school & have been together since!! We also have two dogs that we all adore & love spending time outside with.

I began scrapbooking (in the modern terms) about 11 years ago when my oldest was a baby. I have always dabbled in arts & crafts & used to love collecting momentos as a child to add to “my books”. My style is what I describe as casual-eclectic. I like to try new techniques & play around with the latest trends. I am also on the design team for Stuck On U Sketches. You can follow my blog at www.stephanie-eaken.blogspot.com.

I am thrilled to be on the team here at The Crafty Pickle and am so excited to create with the wonderful products they have to offer!!

My name is Elodie, I’m French but I live in Belgium since 8 years , I’m 38 years old.I am married to a wonderful man and we have just had an adorable baby boy in august.

I’m nurse and I really enjoy my job!

I’ve been scrapping for around 6 years now creating mainly layouts and cards, but also love mini-albums and home decor.I love playing with stamps, stencils, inks and Chipboard.

I like shabby chic/vintage ,mixed media, free scrapbooking…I think that i’m scrap addicted !!!

I have the opportunity to liven up workshops and crop in Belgium and France.
