Simple packaging for gifts

Today we are celebrating two of my nephews and my nieces birthdays! Two are teens and the other just turned 21! Boy does time fly!

Below are the cute boxes I made to house their gift cards! The kids are always oh I know what this is...you know by how it is wrapped, so I thought bon bon boxes! Let's see if they can guess right this time!

They are super simple and quick to make out of a 12 by 12 piece of cardstock, a bread tag cut out from my stash and a little twine to tie it all up!

My oldest nephew's girlfriend had her birthday the day before so we are celebrating her as well! I made this little box and flower tag for her! 

This is the bracelet I made for her using dark royal purple glass beads and silver spacers and toggle clasp! 

I really hope to fool my niece and nephews and hope the bracelet is loved as well! 

A few goodies for A Friend!

I sent off a few goodies to a friend wo has a challenge going on right now! Go check her out and play along! I humbly declined being part of the challenge I just wanted to play! I hope you like what I created for her! agape4gigi on YouTube! 

She loves pink so of course I made my pink flowers for her! and a touch of bling in the center!

I also altered a paper bag to hold said flowers! I used ribbon, one of my flowers, feathers, some beads on a strand, and pink and wite tulle to tie it shut! on the tulle i hooked a chunky charm I made!

Here is a close up of the charm! It was a blast to make!

Sorry it is sideways...lol here is the card I made for Gigi for her Birthday!

I used papers from my stash and a card base from studio G, The pink ribbon is from walmart the butterflies are a sizzix die cut not sure where the stamp is from but I can find out if you like just leave a comment below. the flowers and stamen are from my stash not sure where from got them a long time ago. I used a martha stewart punch on the corners and some bling!

Here is the inside of the card I used left over paper from the front to create a banner, and stamped the sentiment with memento ink tuxedo black. I also used a post it with a personal message on the other side which you can see...lol I got that stamp at tuesday morning.

Below is a picture of all the goodness minus the four pink flowers I showed you first because they are tucked away in the bag! some crochet flowers of mine, a doodad bag and a few trims! She already got the package so I decided to go on and post...lol

have a great week, happy crafting!

Love Jewelry...

Bracelets!

I love to bead! Creating jewlery is fun and rewarding, you have a beautiful piece of wearable art, or a great gift to bestow on someone.

I find beading relaxing and a great creative outlet for me. I really need to make time to do it more often.

I love this double strand beauty! Glass seed beads, silver charms, swarvoski flowers!

These are all glass beads and cats eyes to boot, a beautiful shimmer that follows you when the light hits.

Under the sea! All glass beads, Love the fish!

Blue and green glass beads with tri flower spacers.

Green glass cats eye beads with dragonfly spacers, and clear seed beads.

All glass beads like the rest large seed beads, filligree flower spacers bauble spacers and the ever beautiful moonstone beads.

Last but not least! double strand Green glass seed beads with flat celtic floral spacers with Swarvoski cube crystals.
