Romantic Cards

 

Hi, it's Diane today with a couple of cards to share.  It's already the middle of January and Valentine's Day will be here before you know it.  Adding just a few Creative Charms embellishments to your valentines will make your cards even more special.

This cheerful card has two colors of Groovy Petals string flowers layered with a single brad.  I used the Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon as a trim along the sides of the floral cardstock, allowing just one row of dots to show.

This card is a little more formal but still light and fresh.  I added pink Gradient Pearl Stickers in alternating sizes to the outer ring of hearts, the smallest clear Gradient Gem Stickers to the pink ring of hearts and a red Vintage Velvet Poppy in the center.

A few strategically placed gem stickers give your card the extra sparkle to make it perfect for a special occasion.  Have you started on your Valentine's Day cards yet?

Think pink with Creative Charms

Christmas is over and I am all about the pretty Valentine's pink. Creative Charms has the cutest flowers and bling to make any of your projects look amazing!


For this layout I had so much fun layering and clustering the Vintage Velvet Poppies, pink Sparkled Flowers and pink Loop-d-Loop String Flowers.

For this card the Sequin Trimmed Butterfly really takes the focal point and I love that. The pink Gem Garden butterflies are cute scattered around the large butterfly.

Finally, I have this simple card to share with you using the adorable pink Loop-d-Loop String Flowers with the Pearl stickers in the centers. Aren't they cute??

Until next time!

Blessed

Hello, Liz here with my very first post as a member of this incredible DT. Today I made a matching layout and card using plenty of fabulous Creative Charms.

This is the prefect time of year to reflect on all of the gifts and talents we've been given and to focus on how blessed we all are.

I placed these adorable Vintage Velvet Poppies in a cluster towards the bottom of my page backed by a few Silver Dotted Leaves.

I added a special touch to a scalloped edge by adding Gradient Jewel stickers in white. Finally a few scattered Loop d' Loop Funky Brads added a nice little touch.

For my card I used several of the same embellishments as in my layout but I added a few black Gradient Jewels and cute green butterfly gems. To really make the butterflies stand out I added some curled wire for the antennas.



That's all for today. Check back real soon!

Merry! Merry!

It's never too early to get into the Christmas Spirit. 

I've got some fun Christmas projects to cool you off this Summer. 

Here's my small gift box. I topped it with a Creative Charms - Vintage Velvet Poppy

You can fill it with yummy candy or jewelry!

Here's my little snowflake. The kiddos can make these to add to the tree or give as a special gift. The Santa is a Creative Charms Vintage Christmas Metal Frame and love these Gradient Gems. 

And here's a full shot of the ornament box. 

It can also be filled with treats or hung on the tree. 

The "Happy Holidays" sentiment is a Creative Charms Christmas Dimensional Sticker.

Why don't ya get started on your Christmas Projects early this year!

Vintage Charm

Creative Charms has so many vintage cool embellishments for your pages.  I love mixing them all up and really giving my pages that one of a kind look.  For this layout I layered the Vintage Velvet Poppies with the Make It Yourself Vintage Metal Frames. The frames are wonderful because no matter what paper collection you are using, you can make it match perfectly....they're just the greatest thing.  I used some stickers from the same paper collection and viola.....custom brads.  I also added some subtle detail using the Gradient Pearls along the tips of my base die cut paper and some on my title. 

All of the Vintage collection just blends so well together the possibilities are endless. Here is another project I made using the Make It Yourself Frames...I topped it off with a pearl and it gives it a whole other look.

A little bit of vintage charm

Hi!


Arlene again, here to show you a layout using pretty brads and flowers. Ready to see?

 I think this photograph has a bit of that vintage look to it that could be made even more prettier with the Vintage Pearl Brads in pink. After using a border punch and then my handy dandy hole punch, I put the brads in. Loved the pink pearls so much that I used these rich looking vintage poppies with pearl brads in pastel pink. I switched the pearls so that everything still had that bronze rim to it. Want to see some closeups?

look at how rich and velvety these poppies look!

Take a look at those gorgeous brads, very pretty detailing!

I hope that I have inspired you to go "vintage" with these pretty products!

Have a great day!!!







                        

The Perfect Embellishment

Ever work on a project and look through your embellishments and say "Wow - that works perfect!"? That is what happened with my latest Wedding Invitation Collage.

The Creative Charms Vintage Velvet Poppies worked perfect with this collage. I added a paper flower behind the blue one to make it stand out. I also like using the Vintage Pearl Brads in White on these types of projects. They really are a nice accent to a formal piece.

The invite was a folder and cut the front with the couple's names embossed on it. I off-set it.

Here are a few closeups..

The scallop shape and strip at the bottom are from SVG Cuts.

Thanks for stopping by.
