Introducing.... Our Floating Charm Lockets!

For those of you that may not be aware yet, we now carry floating charm lockets as well as the charms themselves!!! We are excited about this because it is something that really, truly let's a person customize jewelry. This is especially true if you want to use it as a gift. The floating locket allows you to add whatever charm you would like to tell a story or let someone know how special they are.

This is our floating charm/ living locket bracelet:

The heart locket is magnetic! We also have living locket necklaces!

These are the various tiny floating charms we carry that you can add to your floating locket.

We also have various floating crystals.....

And little floating heart charms!

Bundles of Buttons!!!

So we have been on a button kick lately. Love them, love to use them, work with them, etc. Some are just too cute! And the detail is amazing! We use and sell Jesse James Dress It Up Buttons, and now we have even more! Take a look at just a few of the new ones, we hope you enjoy!

 

 

New Pebeo Bezel Effects Paints!!!

Yay! Ok, for those of us that love DIY and love new things to try out, you will LOVE this as much as we do! We now carry Pebeo Bezel Effects Paints! Woot woot! They are so cool because the paints create honeycomb and moon crater surfaces.
This is the Fantasy Prisme paint. We finished it off with Ice Resin.

 

 

We also tried it, but with a glass cabochon instead of Ice Resin.

 

 

 

Here they are side by side.

 

 

 

And here you can see the transformation the bezel effects paints made when we poured it and waited a few minutes.







And this is an example of the Moon Effects, finished with ice Resin.

 

 

And here it is with a glass cabochon. The glass tends to magnify the "craters" a little more.

 

 

You can find these fantastic bezel paints at either of our shops!

CHA Mega Show 2014

One of my assistants and I had the opportunity to go to the CHA Mega Show (Craft and Hobby Association) again this year. It's always so exciting to see new products we can offer. As well as learn new techniques to use on current products. We can't wait to share! But for now, there were a few key highlights at the show we wanted to rehash..... Here we go!

 

 

This is a mixer completely crystallized! It was so pretty to look at, because the crystal just threw out all different colors. And the designs with in the piece were pretty amazing as well! Work done by Kellie DeFries aka- The Crystal Ninja. #crystalninja

 

 

 

 

This crystal football was also done by the Crystal Ninja. Laces up!

 

 





 

 

And this piece took some incredibly steady hands! Again, work by the Crystal Ninja. I don't think I could ever bring myself to open that one!

 

 



 

 

Look who I found at the CHA show! Rupert was such a kind man! He took time to speak to me, and was just so sincere. It was a pleasure to meet him.

 

 

 

 

This was a small booklet my assistant made at the Prima Marketing Flowers booth. The colors were amazing! She took a bit to make this, too many choices!

 

 

 

 

We also had the opportunity to make this mini photobook. This was made at the Graphics 45 booth. Again, just really neat embellishments! Each page inside seems to tell a little story.....

 

 

 

More to come from our CHA Mega Show 2014 experience!

Crazy for Conversation Hearts!

Conversation Hearts are not just for eating!

We made this conversation heart bracelet using our new conversation heart buttons. So easy and just fun to wear! 

All you have to do is run a jump ring through the loop on the back of the button, then attach to our charm bracelet. The little conversation heart buttons are a variety of pastel colors, so they match almost anything!
