Must Have, Bits and Pieces...And Another Giveaway!!

We know we mentioned we would be giving you a second look at our paper lines. But, we thought these sneaks would be more fun! Today we would like to show you some of our bits and pieces that work so well alongside our flowers. So, here are a few embellishments and and tools that will help enhance our flowers.

................................................................................

Art Tiles are a light-weight mini tile. Each one is double sided with patterns that match out paper lines. These little squares are just what you need to add dimension without adding extra weight and bulk. These will even work amazingly on custom jewelry pieces!

Here are a few of our NEW tile designs!

Who wouldn't love a personal piece of jewelry.

Look at how Jamie Dougherty used the Art Tiles to create this adorable charm bracelet. She used her Crop-A-Dile hole punch to punch the holes into the tiles--easy for anyone to alter. 

.................................................................................

Genie Stones are chandelier-shaped pieces and come in an assortment of colors. 

Some come already finished with wire, and some come ready for you to add your own personal touch. Wouldn't these look enchanting on a princess page or a birthday card? 

Now here is an off the page idea by Stacy Cohen.

Stacy has used the Genie Stones to create this stunning necklace! The rainbow of colors would match with any piece of your wardrobe. 

Product:

• 556679- Genie Stones Gold Wrap

 

.................................................................................................................................................................

Would you love some wood? Wood embellishments that is. We have an amazing collection of wooden trinkets that go perfectly with our flowers and new paper designs!

Our wooden tickets and banners work great as subtitles, or journaling bits.

Wooden Buttons come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A burst of color that will add the perfect finishing touch to the center of a flower.

These wood clocks are to die for! They have an antiqued look with extravagant details. 

 

Steph Devlin shares with us this sunny, cheerful scrapbook page. She utilized the wooden banners and incorporates them into her design.

Trinkets...Trinkets...and More Beautiful Trinkets!!

We have a brand new batch of Metal Trinkets!! Including a few new designs by Marion Smith! These little lovelies are perfect to add to your project to add that special finishing touch. 

................................................................................

Here we have these adorable little birds perched on branches in an antiqued finish. Two little phrases swing below; "Sweet" and "Family. 

We adore these little branches as well. They leave a nesting spot to put our Shabby Resin birds or a cluster of flowers. This style comes with two words; "Adore" and "Love".

Marion Smith brings us new trinket designs and they're just what you need for your mini albums and altered pieces.  

 

Take a look at Marion's oval frames, their little jeweled accents add a touch of elegance and are a great way to add small photos to a piece of jewelry or scrapbook page.

 

We also have a whole slew of metal trinkets that will win your heart. A variety of charms and lockets, with enameled and jeweled accents. 

 

 

Trinkets for every line. This time we created metal trinkets for each of our paper lines. Four of them will have a light shabby finish. A stunning match with our paper designs

Along with the light shabby trinkets we have the darker vintage trinkets to round out our collections. Each one with little shadow boxes filled with bits and pieces that compliment each one of our paper lines.
