Splendor with BLING!

It's the MOST splendid season - PERFECT for adding a little bling!



Somethin' about the COLORS of Fall, in my neck of the woods...



EVERYTHING looks terrific in fall colors... So WHY not up the beauty...

WITH BLING!

Yes, please! I did! - I will continue to do so! I LOVE doin' it,
and SO... WILL ... YOU!


Look at this GORGEOUS image and sentiment from Simple Stories!
We were given these incredible paper kits recently, to pair with Want2Scrap™
products - and HONEY, BABIES, SWEETHEARTS! WHAT a stunning combo!



As IFFFFF! This artwork wasn't breathtaking enough...
Look what some brilliant Nestabling™ petite circles
can do to the SUN!
{Lesson here - Nestabling™ NESTS with all kinds of things!}


On the opposing page, a tree sticker from the Simple Stories™
100 Days of Summer collection, skillfully covers a smallish
family friend who dove into our "family portrait" moment,
and the addition of self adhesive green bling from the 72 ct.
package
{Yeowza! This stuff is sooooo versatile!} REALLY
ups the juice factor on this little scene! {LOVE that green!}



Bling can perk up SO many {already!} beautiful materials!



Here's another stellar graphic from the Simple Stories collection:
although the set is intended for summer, I easily transitioned
many of the images into fall, with a few stamps and coordinating
BLING!


But when I say COORDINATING... I'm kind of breaking out
of the "matchy-matchy" coordinating concept, and leaping
towards the use of COMPLIMENTARY bling..... {*swoon!*}


How can these colors NOT make you want to smile?
YUM! Like pumpkin bread baking in your oven on
a leisurely Sunday morning - these colors ARE fall,
where I come from! I had so much fun enhancing
these images just-a-lil-bit! But just LOOK:



Check out a fabulous a line of silver rhinestone bling
from our Nestabling™ Pennant collection! If you are a
Pennant phobe - and you SWEAR you'd never make one...



That's okay, you can STILL play with us! I hoard... ur, uh,
I mean - I COLLECT these babies and use them quite often
for straight lines of bling! They are HUGELY versatile in
that regard, plus they come in MANY fantastic colors! If
you've never really contemplated them, I hope you'll take
another look! Want2Scrap™ Nestabling Pennant bling
is GREAT for pretty much EVERYTHING!


Here's another SUN with just a lil' more sparkle thanks
to a single bauble from a left-over Gold, Petite Scallop
Nestabling™ Circle
... An adorable stamp and THAT
sparkling jewel and THIS postcard that was once all
about summer.... Now shines like a fine autumn day!


This baby went from {stunning!} summer, to fall in a snap!



Oh, the places BLING can take us! Isn't is AMAZING!?!



Start with this...


Bling it OUT - to THIS!



So much fun! On this festive bingo sheet, I merely covered
the center piece with this pumpkin I stamped onto a scrap
of paper from this very collection, fussy cut and glued it
right THAR in the center! You'd probably never have
guessed it didn't come that way... There's just something
about staking a claim on CREATIVE material!

More pumpkins to decorate the spine of this delightful
chipboard album from EcoGreen Crafts!


I used some LOVELY paint from Eco Green Crafts
to custom paint the letters on the cover of my book,
as well! I swear, I need EVERY color they make!
It's GREAT stuff!


As you can see, very little bling was spared for the creation of
this sparkly seasonal album. I promise, it didn't feel any pain...
AND MAN, does it SHINE! {!} Gosh, I love sharing my love for
Want2Scrap™ and cross promotional products with you! I hope
you enjoyed my tips for BLINGIN' out your goodies - May YOU
find SPLENDOR in your craft! ENJOY!

Want2Scrap™, Simple Stories, Score-Pal, and Eco Green Crafts all in one!!

Simple Stories is now a new preferred partner of Want2Scrap™. Lucky me to get to work with these fantastic papers from their 100 Days of Summer Line!


I also got this great Scor-Pal! Now that I am making more cards this will be a great new tool to have in my stash. I want to thank these great companies for sending us these fun goodies. I also added a little Eco Green Crafts ink to the edges of my card for a little added definition.

This is what I had fun making with them! I love that these papers have some pre-printed sentiments on them...it so easy to work with them.

I used these Style C Chipboard Embellishments. I sprayed them with ink and added the 72 Count Amber Rhinestones. What a great way to add additional color and texture.

Don't miss the new Labels Twenty-Three Pearl Nestabling™. It is the perfect way to frame just about anything. Be sure to remember to stop by the store this month and support the Susan G. Komen Foundation with the purchase of any pink products!

A web any spider diva would love!

Hi Want2Scrap fans! So I was playing around with my supplies from Want2Scrap™ and EcoGreen Crafts and came up with something fun I hope you'll like. Sometimes you have to think outside the label and that is what I did with the "Peony" shape from Spellbinders™. Black paint plus Nestaboard™ and Nestabling™ = some blingy spiderweb for the pending Halloween festivities!

After painting my Nestaboard™ black with acrylic paint from EcoGreen (which by the way has a fabulous flat black finish like chalkboard, just sayin!) and applying all four Nestabling™ Peony bling rings and started filling in the web.

I like using this fabric glitter glue from Duncan carried in my local Michaels and JoAnns stores for fine line details like this project.

Once the glitter is mostly dry add small single bling gems in open areas on the web to up the GLAM!

Silver jewelry thread is perfect for this three-tiered ornament. I was able to use purple gems to accent the thread too. Super simple spooky fun!


Supplies Used:

72 Count - Silver Rhinestones - Self Adhesive


Cross Promotional Products Used:
Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur, Nestibilities classic ovals set
Beacon Adesives: 3 in 1 Adveanced Craft Glue
EcoGreen Crafts: acrylic paint
Other:
Paper: Teresa Collins
Sticker: Memory makers

October Guest Designer - Debbie Seyer World Card Making Day - Everything Pink 50% Off!!

Good morning blogging friends! I can't believe it's the 1st of October! To me October signifies the beginning of Fall and the upcoming holidays. It seems like once we hit October everything is in full swing and doesn't seem to slow down until after the holidays.

Today, I have the pleasure of introducing our Guest Designer for the month of October, Debbie Seyer. I am so happy Debbie will be joining us this month!! She has a clean and classic style that I know you are going to love.


My name is Debbie Seyer and I live in Arnold, Missouri. I am a stay-at-home mom to three beautiful girls and I have been married to my High School sweetheart, Keith, for almost 20 years. My paper crafting journey started when our whole family went to Disney World in 1996. I started scrapbooking and finally found a hobby where I could actually complete my projects. In 2000, a friend invited me to a rubber stamping home workshop and I fell in love with cardmaking. I am proud to say that I have been published multiple times in paper crafting and scrapbooking magazines. I love working on Design Teams and have been very blessed to be on some really great teams. Besides paper crafting, I help with Funeral Luncheons at our church, help with Girl Scouts and am the taxi driver to a variety of musical instrument lessons for my girls. My hubby and I love to take our girls camping and exploring, watch movies and play board games.


I love these beautiful butterfly cards that Debbie designed! She used the Nestabling without a die template and hand cut one side giving her two pieces of bling to work with. Great idea!


This is a layout of Debbie's daughter Caitlyn. Great color combination and I love the designer paper and touches of bling she used to compliment the beautiful photo of her daughter.


Check out this fantastic blingy Halloween Tag Book! What a fun design! It's won't be long and Halloween will be here!!

To see more of Debbie's wonderful designs please visit her blog ~ A Peek Into My Stamping Room.

October 1st is a very important day in the paper crafting world because it's World Card Making Day. All of us at Want2Scrap™ would like to wish you a Happy World Card Making Day!!

October is also known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I think at some point in our lives we have all had cancer effect us either personally, a loved one or a friend. Want2Scrap™ recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month and All Pink items on our website will be at 50% off for the entire month of October. At the end of the month, Want2Scrap™ will donate 10% of sales on all these Pink items to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Check out all of the Pink at Want2Scrap!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy World Card Making Day!! Take some time to create!! ;-)

Hugs,
