Boo! With a little bling

Hey everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the beginnings of fall. I know that I look forward to the "spooky" season every single year and this was definitely no different! I got started straight away on a new "BOO" banner to hang in the house...perfect for getting us ready for the thrills and chills of Halloween.


Lucky for me, I also had some wonderful Black rhinestone swirls on hand to help me out in my production. :)


Want 2 Scrap carries almost every single gemstone color you could want and in MANY different sizes so I was also able to bling up my little flower in the top left corner with one as well. :)




And with only 3 little letters to make, I was quickly done! How about you? Do you enjoy making little home-made seasonal decor for your home? I liked so much that this was quick and easy and I love that adding such gorgeous bling is quick and easy as well and adds such an elegant touch. :)

Thanks for your visit and hope you can check out all the wonderful bling available in the Want 2 Scrap store!

For You

Hi everyone! I am back again to show off a couple more products Want 2 Scrap carries that I just LOVE having in my crafting arsenal. I don't know how often I turn to using chipboard and bling on my projects, but it is a LOT! Usually I "sugar" up my chipboard with glitter or cover with patterned paper, but this time I thought I'd do something different for a change!



Can you tell what I did? Well, first of all, I used the chipboard hearts...and you get MANY to a pack in both small and large sizes. I used the large size for this project. I first painted it over with regular acrylic paint. After I let that dry, I spritzed the top with a tan colored glimmer mist for a little sparkle. And after that dried, I stamped some French script right on top with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. LOVE the way that turned out. I also used some leftover bling from my Silver Rhinestone Swirls right on top of my burlap leaves. They stick wonderfully!

So are you a bling and chipboard kind of gal/guy too? If so, definitely check out the online store for great deals on your favorite products!

Until next time!

Glamorous friend

Today I am saluting my many wonderful girfriends.  There is not a day that goes by when I don't find myself thinking "I'm so glad you're my friend".  Yes indeed, my life is full of lovely ladies and they deserve to be celebrated!

I was able to bring the bling to the cute papers and diecuts from the Girls Paperie using Want 2 Scrap Smokey Brown adhesive bling!   Oh my!  Isn't that pretty?  Well a girl does know that you ain't got a thing if it ain't got that BLING! ;)

Thanks for coming by today and hug a girlfriend today, won't you?

New Year's already!?!

Time flies when you are havin' fun!  Today I am here with an extra early New Year's card for 2011!

Whoa!  First Christmas in July, now New Years in August?  Well, before you think I am a super organized person, I want you to know that it was the new black swirl bling from Want 2 Scrap and the cute clock dies from the Girls Paperie that had me singing the Auld Lang Syne!  The black bling makes a perfect flight trail for my pretty Jenni Bowlin butterfly.

Isn't that bling delicious?!  I was able to cut apart the pieces I needed and adhere them in a fashion that suited my design.  SO cool!! 

OK, off to wrap Christmas presents.....kidding! KIDDING! I haven't even started my list yet..thank goodness! Have a great day!

Want2Scrap and Bella Blvd Sunny Happy Skies!

I thought I would bring two of my favorite companies together today! I used Want2Scrap bling, acrylic, and a mesh butterfly as well as Bella Blvd's new release Sunny Happy Skies.



I think this is a great idea for a room decor project. I simply used some of my favorite summer photos, added a quote...and poured on some color with pattern paper and cardstock stickers by Bella Blvd.



These colors are the perfect compliment to the clean, clear acrylic sheets offered at Want2Scrap.



You have to love the bling and pearls too. They are such an easy way to embellish! Keep a close eye on the Want2Scrap blog, rumor has it there will be a DT call very soon...this is definitely a great team to be a part of.

Wish Big

Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing a Clean and Simple card, but dressed up with some bling! I followed Dana's que and decided to make a gorgeous flower as well. And to accent the pretty flower, I used Want 2 Scrap's Swirls in Silver Rhinestones!


I think they make such a lovely pair, don't you? :) This was so quick to put together, and I love the way the rhinestones laid themselves out perfectly on my card. Be sure and check out the Want 2 Scrap webstore for even more bling products! You just can't beat the price point AND selection!

Until next time...

Merci!

Hello! Bonjour!  Dana here with a card and a few tips I hope you will enjoy. 

I started with this gorgeous (if I do say so myself) handmade shabby paper flower!  Yep, I made that flower myself!  Do I have any of you saying "HOW?" right now?  Well I can't take credit for the how but I can link you up!  You'll want to start with a terrific FREE cut file from Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs.  Once I had my flower ready I looked to Want 2 Scrap swirl bling in black as a chic and glittery flower stem.  TIP: Since bling comes on clear acetate sheets, it is easy to hold your bling over your project to see how it will look without worry of the bling accidentally sticking before you are ready.  A simple trick but SOOOO handy!

Another neat trick with acetate...stamping acetate (even a scrap that used to back my swirl bling as seen here) with Staz on allows you a wonderful freedom to layer in elements that would be near impossible to stamp clearly over the multiple surfaces I have above.  I was able to add this cute Eiffel Tower stamp from Stampin Up AFTER I had attached all of the other card elements.  In other words, I was caught in a "this needs something" moment and the Staz On on acetate technique saved my day!  I adhered the acetate piece with crystal effects.

Thanks so much for coming by today...or should I say "merci"?!
