Pretty Pink and Black Bling

The Pure Blossoms are one of my favorite Creative Charms embellishments.  There are several colors included in September's Deal of the Month.   This deal is called "Pink and Black Bling" and has 235 pieces for only $6.99 so you won't want to miss it!

I used two colors and three sizes of the pure blossoms on this party invitation.  The pink and black color scheme would be great for a sweet 16 party.

Pure Blossoms come in many more colors, you can see them all HERE.

I used a few other items from the September Deal of the Month for more pink and black cards.  The Pink Sequin Flowers are wonderful accents for a simple sentiment.

The Pink Vintage Jewels and some Gradient Gem Stickers really dress up this medallion cut.  These two cards appeared on the Scrappy-go-Lucky blog yesterday and you can see the full cards HERE.

Here is one more card that I made with Pure Blossoms about a year ago. 

These faceted flowers make a simple card very elegant and eye-catching.

I hope you are having a great week.  Be sure to stop over to my personal blog, Capadia Designs, if you would like more details about any of these cards.

September Deal of the Month ... fresh ideas

Good Morning Everyone Summer here with another look at the September Deal of the month. I don't know if you realized but there are 2 themed deals this month ... BOY & GIRL. I received the boy themed kit to play with. I challenged myself to do something a little unexpected with some of the embellishments. Here are 3 cards with some fresh ideas ...

(Supplies Used: Cardstock Bazzill, Patterned Paper Cosmo Cricket, Punch/Scissors Fiskars, Alphas American Crafts, It's A Boy Felts/Epoxy Brads Creative Charms, Gem Stickers Creative Charms)

The felt boat accent is from the "It's a Boy" set. I love the idea of taking this from something "baby" to a whole new level. Then I sprinkled some additional gems around the card just like I showed you in my "Bling it Up" post from July.

(Supplied Used: Cardstock Bazzill, Patterned Paper Cosmo Cricket, Alphas Basic Grey, DMC Embroidery Floss Black, Yellow Fuzzy Ducks from Creative Charms)

This card is super simple. I simply added french knots for eyes and pop dotted the ducks on my card. This card follows the rule of 3's I tend to subconsciously follow when I scrapbook or make cards. First I tend to embellish in 3's (or odd numbers) and second I weighted the design elements to the bottom third of the card. This could easily be repeated with any element and greeting.

(Supplied Used: Cardstock Bazzill, Patterned Paper from Cosmo Cricket, Pinking Sheers IKEA, Alphas from October Afternoon/Basic Grey, Gem Stickers Creative Charms, Playtime Boy Felts & Epoxy Stickers)

This is my favorite card from the group. I like the idea of using this card for a 16th birthday or changing out the greeting to say "Congratulations", the card would be perfect for the new driver in your life. Notice how I used the gem stickers in all the sizes this gives the card flow and interest.

I hope you have a great Wednesday. Happy Crafting :)

sweet baby girl

When I found out that the September Deal of the Month would have a boy option or a girl option, I just knew I wanted to make a gift for my brother and his wife, who were expecting their first baby, a little girl!  I decided on this altered photo frame.  (The photo in the frame is NOT my brand new niece, who just arrived on Saturday!  For purposes of photographing the project, I put a photo of my oldest son into the frame, for "display purposes" only, lol!)

The awesome Deal of the Month has so much fun stuff in it!  I used some of the fun felt shapes from the "It's a Girl" felt pack, and I just love the fun brads that are also included.  I layered two of the brads along with buttons, die-cut paper and felt, to make these flower centers:

Along with the fun baby goodies in the Deal of the Month, I also used Pink Gradient Gems, a sparkled flower (which I replaced the center of with a pink gem), the fun polka dot ribbon, and the Gradient Pearls.

I also made a card to go with the gift, using another of the It's a Girl brads, more ribbon and a few more gradient gems.

I hope you've enjoyed this project!  You just can't beat the Deal of the Month, so grab it while it lasts!

Epoxy and Felt and Jewels, Oh My!

Hi! Wow - I am so excited!!! I am Sandra and this is my very first post on the Creative Charms Blog! I am thrilled and honored to be a member of a team of such talented designers!

I was so thrilled when I received my products that I made two projects!

The first I made for a dear friend who is expecting (a boy) using some of the products in the September Deal of the Month. I used the It's a Boy Hand Stitched Felt Stickers, the It's a Boy Epoxy Stickers, the Blue & White Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon and some Gradient Gem Stickers - Blue. All of this and more are in the September Deal of the Month!

I am going to attach the tag to a gift for the new little guy in hopes that my friend will complete his birth information in the spaces provided on the tag and then use it in his scrapbook or baby book.

The other project I made is a Thanksgiving card. I loved the Fancy Felt Flowers - Orange as soon as I saw them with their little wooden beaded centers and I knew that I wanted to use them to make an Autumn card. I also used some Gradient Gem Stickers - Amber and two light purple flowers from Spring Medley - Purple. I removed the yellow centers from the light purple flowers and replaced the centers with Gradient Jewels.

I'll be back soon! Thanks and make it a great day!!! :o)
