Winter Display Tray

Hi, it's Diane today and I hope you had a wonderful holiday!  After working with so much red and green for the Christmas season, it's fun to shift into Winter projects.  This little display tray is a great accent on a shelf or table and can stay up long after the Christmas decorations come down.

I used some snowflakes from the Winter Seasonal Medley and the Winter Seasonal Sparkles and then added Gradient Gem stickers to the centers for additional dimension and color.

In the three bottom squares, I added some Sequined Flowers along with flowers from the Sparkly Garden Brads and more snowflakes from the Winter Seasonal Medley.  The teardrop shape gems from the blue Vintage Jewels make lovely corner accents.

Gift Box and Winter Friendship Card

Hi, it's Diane today with a couple of quick projects.  Most of you are probably busy getting ready for the Thanksgiving festivities - I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

If you want to make a gift package a bit more special, try adding some Creative Charms.  I wrapped wide green grosgrain ribbon around a small silver gift box, added a piece of black Vintage Velvet Ric Rac along the longer ribbon and popped on a couple of red Vintage poppies for an elegant presentation.

I changed the pearl brads that come in the vintage poppies with a red Vintage Jewel Brad and a round green Vintage Jewel for a different look.

We had snow in Massachusetts before Halloween but there hasn't been any more snow yet.  This card can be sent to a friend anytime during the winter.

I added a snowflake from the Winter Medley to the sentiment stamped inside the card.

An iridescent snowflake from the Winter Medley and a snowflake from the Winter Seasonal Sparkles accent the cut out design in the front of the card.

The word "snow" from the Winter Seasonal Sparkles is easy to add to the front of the card.  The tiny gems are embedded in adhesive and you can gently lift the entire word and place it on the card.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving - I hope you can spend it with your loved ones.  If you want to see more detailed directions for these projects, you can check my blog, Capadia Designs (the posts will appear after the Thanksgiving holidays).

Holiday Gift Tag

Hello Creative Charm fans! Erin here, posting my first post as a new DT member for Creative Charms. I'm so excited to share projects with you using these gorgeous embellies. They are so fun and really add that extra touch to your paper craft projects.

The holidays are just around the corner, whether you like it or not) so I've started working on my holiday cards and my favorite - gift tags! I love making my packages unique and Creative Charms are definitely going to help me pretty up my packages this year.

I wanted to keep this tag super simple so the focal point would be the beautiful red vintage poppy found in the November Kit of the Month. I love this flower in real life, it's velvety and a dark rich red color.

I also put together a quick and simple stamped card to build up my collection come December.

For this card, I used the pretty little sparkly snowflakes found in the Winter Medley. Just a few go a long way!

Thanks for checking out my projects today. See you again soon!
