Flowers & Swirls Tag with KellyCraft

Hi Everyone,

I created this tag with the Get-it-Straight Laser Square and the KellyCraft blog.  This really pretty tag measures 6" x 6" and for me, it just screams Spring!   I love the bright colors with the flowers and swirls.  This tag is something that won't end up in the trash can after your friend or family member sees it.  They are going to want to place it in a frame and hang it on their wall!   What better way can you say that "I'm thinking of you!"

For the complete instructions and supply list for this tag, please visit the KellyCraft blog at

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...

 

Crafty hugs,

My Sweet Friend Card with KellyCraft!

Hi Everyone,

I created this card for the KellyCraft blog and I thought I would share it with you here.  I design different cards each month for the KellyCraft blog with their great tool, the Get-it-Straight Laser Square.  If you would like more ideas for using the Get-it-Straight Laser Square, stop by our blog at www.kellycraftblog.blogspot.com

These new stamps from JustRite Clear rubber stamps are fabulous! I really liked working with them on this card. If you join me at the KellyCraft blog every month, I will try to bring you cards that are anything but ordinary. I love putting time into my cards by layering, lots of embellishments, different shapes, cards that move, etc.

Every once in a while, I'll show you how to make a card fast and easy, but if you're looking for cards that are different and detailed, you've come to the right place. And of course to create these types of cards, your life will be some much easier if you add my favorite tool to YOUR toolbox...the Get-it-Straight Laser Square by KellyCraft.

Crystal Floral Necklace

Hi Everyone,

For my last two posts for Connie Crystal's blog, I used the beautiful white crystal sheets to design first a cuff bracelet and then I designed a set of earrings to match. I thought I would stop there, but I love these crystal sheets so much that I felt I needed to finished the jewelry set with a matching necklace.

I really hope that you head over to your local craft store and purchase some of these crystal sheets. There are so many fabulous things you could create with these sheets and you'll have so much fun working with it!

I just love this jewelry set so much that I plan on creating a few sets for some birthday gifts that I'll need in the very near future. Don't you have someone in your circle of friends and family that would love a gift like this? Boy, I know I do!!!

For a complete supply list and instructions for this project, please visit the Connie Crystal blog at www.sparklebycc.com. My post will be up tomorrow May 22nd. 

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...
