Celebrate with Cake - card

I love the colors in this card - the fun Zoe paper pack has great designs and I love this large Dot pattern. I added Pear cardstock and then used the ShinHan marker and the ShinHan blending marker to get this ombre effect on the cake and banner piece. I use markers on the flowers too.

I used Pear ink with the CELEBRATE stamp to create a tone on tone effect.

Beach Picture Frame

This was a gift I made for my daughter and her boyfriend when they came to Hawaii with me in 2015. I used the gorgeous Seaside paper and many retired stamps sets.
The fram itself came from Michaels and it's a 'decorate yourself' plain wooden frame. I used Modge Podge to attache the paper to the base and then the rest is added with liquid glass.

Hopscotch Explosion Box

I really enjoy making these Explosion Boxes - this was one i did in the Spring last year with the now retired Hopscotch paper and matching embellishments and compliments.

As you can see it has lots of room for photos and journalling. A fun Graduation gift :O)

Bracelets, Bling and Sparkles oh my !!

I was so excited with this bracelet - it is actually all made of cardstock. I liquid glassed 3 layers together and then embossed a 4th layer which i then inked and added to the top - it was dried wrapped around a tomato soup can :O) 

 I added White daisy pigment ink to the bird to soften the color.

The bracelet below has ribbon braided around it .

 This Halloween themed bracelet does too. Lots of liquid glass floods the bracelet to hold the purple stars in place. There is Glitter cardstock behind the pumpkin embellishment.

 And just to prove that i could.... I used purple shimmer rim to braid this bracelet and then added sparkles around the edge of the glass.

Hope you like them :O)    Love Sara xxx

More Base and Bling fabulosity from CTMH Extravaganza 2014

Did I tell you how much I love the Base and Bling line from Close To My Heart??
It doesn't have to be used just as jewelry - here are a few more ideas . . . .

 The left hand item above is a phone charm and a key ring on the right.......

 My puppy was all a fashionista in this cute dog collar.........

and this was my luggage tags - using the Seaside Paper which I rolled and made paper beads.

Hope you get some inspiration and make some cute items too - Love Sara xxxx
