Hearts Aplenty!

Hearts that sparkle embellish this pink, red and white Valentine card.  The hearts were left over from a previous years kit of the month but made a great focal point for this card.  The sparkle was added using Creative Charms Gradient gem Stickers in red.  

Happy Valentines Day to all our blog friends!

This card is a revival from one that I did when I first started with Creative Charms design team several years ago.  The red Gradient Gem Stickers embellished the lace punched edge and the butterflies are from the Red Gem Garden.  

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?

Creative Charms and YOUR style

If you have been crafting for even a short time, you have probably heard people mention scrapping styles.  Personally I find that I am drawn to many different styles and enjoy creating using those different styles.  The great thing about Creative Charms is that the products are so versatile that they work with so many different scrapbooking styles.

Here are two different examples.  I created this shabby chic card using lots of the oh-so-yummy Gradient Pearl Stickers.

For this second example, I created a fun, bright card using green gradient gems and black pearl stickers.

No matter what your scrapping style, you are bound to find perfect embellishments for your projects at Creative Charms.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Wedding Favors

Hey everyone, Amy here - it’s that time of the year when young ladies get engaged and have to start planning for that special day. My friend’s niece is getting married in the fall and she asked me to do some wedding favor prototypes.

Here are a few simple boxes I created:

Here is the first box which features Vintage Poppies with Pearl Brads in Ivory.
I also used the Gradient Pearl Stickers.


The second box features the following Creative Charms products:
Vintage Pearl Brads ~ Grey Pearl
I cut the monogram along with the actual boxes on my Sizzix eclips using Ecal software.
The boxes are from SVG Cuts - the box is one piece that fits on a 12x12 mat.
They offered these for free at Christmas, aren’t they great?
Hopefully you picked these up while the offered them.


Here is the box open, it can fit plenty of goodies!
Papers are from BasicGrey - Little Black Dress line.

These boxes would also make a great birthday or party favor. Would be perfect for the wedding shower or the wedding day. Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday! I hope all of you are having a marvelous week so far! I have a few projects that I would like to share with you today. Each of these projects features luscious goodies from Creative Charms.

First up, I have an altered project to sweeten things up a bit.  This frame was inspired purely by the awesome crocheted cherry embellishments from Creative Charms. They look good enough to eat! I thought I would use them on a small frame to add a bit of fruity decor to my kitchen in the spring time.

“Cherry” Frame

Up Close of  Frame

I believe these are actually called 'strawberries' on the Creative Charms online shop, but I think they could be used for cherries as well.

Creative Charms Supplies Used:

Knitted Cherry

Gradient Gem Brads-Red

Other Supplies Used:

Patterned Paper, Alphabet, Ribbon, Frame, Adhesive, Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks

Second, I have a leather bound sticky notepad case that I altered using some puffy heart shaped embellishments from Creative Charms. February is right around the corner and it is the month of love. I figured I better get to work on some little gifts now. I began by using a bit of adhesive in the center of each heart to adhere it to my patterned paper. I then took this over to my sewing machine and stitched a straight stitch down the center of the hearts. This not only helps to secure the embellishments, but it helps them to pop up on the sides. I then added a ‘C’ to the front to act as an initial for the recipient. I thought this would be a nice little gift to give for a loved one to write ‘love notes’ on.

“Love Notes”

Here is a view so you can see the dimension on these embellishments:

Polka Dot Valentine

Other Supplies Used:

Cardstock, Patterned Paper, Alphabet, Thread, Corner Punch, Adhesive, Sewing Machine

Last, I altered a basic gift box to add some chocolate goodies to. I began with the lid of the box. I used an array of Creative Charms goodies to make the lid the focal point of the piece. I layered lots of flowers and a butterfly to add dimension. I then added a bit of lace around the edge of the bottom part of the gift box. This project was simple and quick to pull together, but I love how the goodies from Creative Charms look on the project! They are my favorite!

A Rock and Roll Cuff

Hey there everyone. Erika Taylor here today to share with you a Cuff I recently created using a few of my favorite Creative Charms brads. I absolutely love the Vintage Brads that Creative Charms carries. These little pieces of heaven are perfect to complete any project and I'm especially fond on the marble brads. They look like real marble, turquoise and amber. LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!

Today I've used the white marble brad to finish off this cuff for a  "polished" look. I've got a few photos for you so you can really see all sides of the cuff. I hope you like it.

The Vintage Brads go perfectly with all of the Tim Holtz embellishments. Love that too.

This cuff was super fun to create. It was actually made from Ribbon!! Whodda thunk?

Well, thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week.

I Love Roo..

Hello, Joanna Bandelin from Scrap-Making here today. I'm sharing a sweet card with you all. I used some fun Gradient Red sticker gems along with some Pink and White Fancy Polka Dot Ribbon (love this ribbon!). I also paper pieced a stamp by Paper Smooches.

I wanted to keep my card more on the simple side....these days less is more! 

Thanks for looking! Have a great day :)

How's It Rollin?

If someone were to ask me what my paper crafting style would be in one word, I think I would have to say "funky". I tend to always be drawn towards bright colors and crazy designs and patterns. So when I'm shopping at Creative Charms, my eye is drawn towards the Groovy Petal Medley. These funky flowers remind me of the 70s and come in all kinds of bright, cheerful colors. I used pink, orange and yellow on this retro card.

They were the perfect touch and coordinated perfectly with my patterned paper and roller skate stamp colored in with Promarkers.

Have a funky Friday Creative Charms friends!

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!
