Urban Funky Feminine Necklace, Earrings and bracelet set

Custom Necklace and Earrings

It's hard to really see the detail on this.  But it was a special custom request from a co-worker to give to his wife for Christmas.  They have 2 black Scotties and 1 white Westie - So I found the Terrier charms and added 2 black rhinestones and 1 crystal rhinestone on the dogs collar to represent their pets.  I then packaged it all up in one of my custom gift boxes.  He loved it and thinks his wife will too.  Can't wait til after Christmas to hear about the response.

Here it is all packaged up and ready to go.

I even had an extra charm so I made a little key ring to go with it.  Hope she likes this truly one-of-a-kind gift.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Here's the set all together. The necklace is chrystal beads that really sparkle. The total price for the set including the packaging was $40.

Vintage Tile Coasters

Vintage tile coasters.  I went to the local hardware store and found some rustic tiles and used the following stampsets.  Top far left corner I used the Medallion stamp.  The top right corner is the Autumn days set and the bottom center is the Artistic etchings set.  Set of 4 coasters sell for $10 and make a fantastic Christmas, Birthday or hostess gift.

Party Favors/Stocking Stuffers

These are soooo cute and easy for party favors, stocking stuffers and great for kids to use for school parties etc.

The cello bags are from clearbags.com and are 1x8 in size.  The stamp set is retired but you can use any greeting you like.  I found the Chocolate gems in the bulk candy aisle and was able to buy them in seperate colors making it easy to create the candy cane effect.  These are so cute in fall colors for Thanksgiving, Green for St. Patty's day or match them up for any occasion.  I sent them for both of my older boys to give to their school classmates during their "Harvest Party" and they were just beautiful in the fall jewel tones.

Kid Picts

My little destroyer playing and trying to mutilate his watermelon.

We had a lot of fun playing at the park.  My oldest son wouldn't let me get his picture, but at least I got the younger two.

Tiger Necklace

I've just had so much fun making these Domino Pendant Necklaces.  Here is another style with a lot more Bling.  But I LOVE big chunky necklaces - so this is right up my alley.   I'm selling similar styles at Hillier Studios on Dixie Highway in Bridgeport, but I can make custom styles as well.  Just shoot me an email with the colors and style requirement and I will price it out for you.  I'm going to be experimenting with some new stuff soon and hope to have those posted in the next couple of weeks.

Owl Punch - Penguin Card

I want to show you just how versatile this punch is, by using it to create a super cute Christmas Card.

Check out these adorable Penguins. It uses the same Owl punch - Just trim off the "horns" and you have an adorable penguin. Punch the main body out of black (cut off the feet) Cut another out of orange, trim of the bottom 1/4 and glue to the back. Use one of the orange "horns" that you cut off as the nose for the penguin. And punch the eyes and vest out of Whisper White.
This card uses Marina Mist as the base. Then taking Whisper White, tear the edges to get the look of snow or ice. I used a sponge and Bashful Blue ink to ink the edges for more defenition, ran a line of glue along the torn edge using the two-way glue pen and added some glitter.
The snowflakes are from a retired set, but any snowflakes will work - I added glitter to those as well.
The sentiment is Whisper White punched out of the wide oval punch and inked around the edges for definition and 2 of the scalloped oval punches were glued behind it. I also used the really cool new flat-backed rhinestones available in the new catalog for just a touch of bling.
Let me know if you are interested in any of the products mentioned and I will place an order for you.

Happy Stampin'!

Owl's Owl's and More Owl's

LOVE the new Owl punch.  It is so fun.  It's just like paper piecing for scrapbookers (where you take shapes and create new items) but it's all contained in one fantastic punch.  You can create birthday's, wedding, Thanks you's etc.  It's really unlimited.

New Embossing Folders

These are some really cool new embossing folders that are used with the Big Shot.  The one on the left is from the summer mini (but they carried it over into the new 2010/2011 catalog as well).  I used the brayer and ran ink over the raised image so you get the color contrast.

The second is called Vintage Wallpaper.  I LOVE this one.  I did the same thing and filled the brayer with basic black ink and ran it over the top.  It gave it a vintagy, rustic but elegant look.  (if that makes any sense LOL)

New Pendant Style

This style is $25 and can be customized with different colors, beads, chains etc.  Contact me to place your order.

NEW catalogs are here!

Handmade Charm Necklaces

I've been concentrating on the domino pendant necklaces, but wanted to try something with beads as well.  These are my first three attempts.  I've learned a few things and will do some things differently, but am fairly pleased with how they came how.  The charms are made using the hodgepodge hardware from Stampin' Up.  I stamped the images and then used Chrystal effects to "glue" them into the hardware and create the polished surface.  I have a few more that I plan on trying over the next few weeks and will post those as soon as I can.  I'm currently in love with turquiose so that will be the next bead necklace that I do.

Would love to hear your comments or suggestions to make them better.

Pendants for Sugarhigh Bakery

I'm testing the idea of having my pendants in some local stores.  Sugarhigh Bakery in the Frankenmuth Riverplace had some specific requirements.  They had to be black, white, pink and silver and either cupcakes or brocade.  This is the first set of 6 that I came up with.

I also need to come up with some "cupcake" themed greeting cards and favor boxes to see if those will sell.  I can't wait to see which designs will be "big" sellers.

Some of the newest pendant necklaces

I'm trying to incorporate more color into my designs.  Hope you like them.
The Hummingbird further down the page has been sold, but if you like it, I can duplicate it.  All pendants are handmade so there will be variations from necklace to necklace and each one is "one-of-a-kind"

Business Card Holder

Domino Pendant Necklaces

I have been doing a lot of these new "Domino" necklace pendants.  I'm going to start selling them at a local boutique (Hillier Studio in Bridgeport) for $15.  They have been so fun and I'm learning new tricks all the time to make them even better.  I have a few new techniques that I want to try and will post those as soon as I can.

I will also be doing private classes for groups of 5 or more to make your own necklaces.  Class fee is $15 and then $10 for each additional necklace you make.

Pendants that haven't made it into necklaces yet.

Some of my very first tries.  The one on the far right has a hole drilled through the sides for a different look.  I'm also going to start added beads for a new look as well.
