Celebrate the Season with Bulk Bling

Candy here and today I want to share with you how much I love to use Bulk Bling Pearls on my Christmas Cards.  When I make a bunch of Christmas cards and tags I am always looking for the most economical and quickest way to create beautiful items.  I love to use Want2Scrap's Bulk Bling Pearls with  Heartfelt Creations Paper Collections which include card fronts and tags and, sometimes even images that coordinate with Heartfelt Creations dies, to quickly create cards and tags that look so elegant!

I created my Sleigh Full of Gifts A2 sized card using Heartfelt Creations Celebrate the Season Paper Collection.  I used Heartfelt Creations Ornate Sleigh and Presents Die to die cut the sleigh and present images from the paper collection and adhered them to the card base using pop dots.  I adhered the non-adhesive Bulk Bling Pearls in White, Lavender and Purple using Beacon 3-In-1 Advanced Craft Glue. Finally, I added a touch of glitter to the sleigh and present for some sparkle.

Want2Scrap's Bulk Blink Pearls can be purchased in a variety of colors to coordinate with your project.  You get 1/2 cup pearls, which is approximately 700 flat back non-adhesive 8mm pearls.

Canvas Project: Take the Time 2 Create

It's a New Year's Resolution for a lot of us.

Make time to create.

I need the reminder.

You too, can make a SIMPLE canvas.

I created this SUPER simple canvas.

by using a piece of balsa wood.

I decoupaged some napkins onto the board.

 I added a coat of paint, and created a whitewash finish by

dry brushing some Gesso.

I sanded and inked around the edges with 

Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx® by Donna Salazar

I added some Tissue Tape,

a transparency,

a beautiful chevron border,

some words and hardware...

a few buttons,

some bulk LOOSE bling, and 

Steel Blue Pearls

and the title...

The Fancy chipboard title Create was painted with Gesso and 

coated with Medium and then

dusted with Fairy Dust from our preferred partner, Clearsnap.

VOILA...

Take the time 2 Create...
