Hello everyone! Today, we have a beautiful necklace and earring set created by Design Team Member, Heidi Blankenship to share with you. This would be a fun set for summer. Bronze with just a touch of pink. Pretty but not over the top. For the necklace Heidi layered Bronze Filigree Embellishment (Item #022-B)-Lg Flower and Bronze Tibetan Style Charms (Item #J071-B)-Sm Flower. She used a combination of Lumiere-Pearl Magenta and Vintaj Patina-Quartz paints to add just a touch of pink. For a little bling Heidi added Clear AB SS12 Flat Back Crystal Rhinestones to the center of the flower. Next she created a beaded dangle to hang from the smaller flower. Using 4mm Pink Bicones, 8mm Pink Round Crystal Beads, Pink Flower Bead Caps, Clear Rhinestone Rondelle Spacer Beads - 6mm (Item #BD006-B/CL), Bronze Filigree Bead Caps (Item #CAP052-B), and Bronze Ball End Head Pins to create the dangle. For the earrings Heidi used the Bronze Tibetan Style Charms (Item #J071-B)-Sm Flower. She used the same paints and created the same beaded dangles like the one on the necklace. We love how this set turned out--pretty but not over the top and a lovely set that can either go with a casual outfit or dressed up. Thank you for stopping by today!

Design team member Heidi Blankenship created this adorable card using a white cardstock base and alternating blue and white layers on top. She created the third layer by stamping a piece of white cardstock with Memento Sky Blue ink using the CL-02077 Shooting Stars Sling Stitched Background Stamp from JustRite Papercraft, and finished it off by inking the edges of the cardstock. The main image was stamped with Momento Rich Cocoa ink using CR-04815 Special Delivery Clear Stamps and coloured using Spectrum Noir markers. Heidi framed the main image using the Bronze Filigree Connectors (Item #004-B) from ButterBeeScraps' Artistic Treasures and covering the holes with small pearls. Finally, she finished the spine of the card off using some twine and adding a sentiment charm from the Be Inspired Charm Collection and one that looks like a baby rattle from the Jingle Bells Charm Collection. The products from ButterBeeScraps' Artistic Treasures that Heidi used are:
- Be Inspired Charm Collection - Jingle Bells Charm Collection - Bronze Jump Rings - Bronze Filigree Connectors (Item #004-B) We have another design team project to share with you today! Check out this "uber cute" altered clipboard created by design team member Anna Fallas. Anna used Bella Rose paper for the base and trimmed the edge of the clipboard with a dainty lace. She added a beautiful silver filigree butterfly embellishment (Item #240-P) to the clip, and layered a Tibetan silver frame (Item # F553-S) and large glass cabochon (Item #CAB017) on top with tiny white resin flowers (Item #RES002-WH) circling the cabochon - all from ButterBeeScraps' Artistic Treasures. Anna hung several chain tassels from the top of the frame. Several charms from the Attic Treasures (Set B) charm collection hang from the chain. And the best part is...the clip is still fully functional! On each side of the clipboard, Anna added a die cut and layered a silver filigree embellishment (Item #810-P) and small pink resin doo-dad flower (Item #RES004-PK) on top. For a better look at this precious little clipboard, you can visit Anna on her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szodJhQp_ls

Ginger grounded the cover with a beautiful cluster of coffee dyed paper flowers layered with a small crocheted doily and a small Bronze Tibetan Style Connector (Item #J384-B) from ButterBeeScraps. She finished the cluster off with a large Bronze Filigree Leaf (Item #886-B), a large charm from the Creative Clocks charm collection, and a butterfly from Kay's Etsy shop. To add some balance to the cover, Ginger added a small cluster of paper flowers and a resin banner embellishment in the top left corner, then finished the spine off with some corrugated cardboard. The edges of all the pages were inked using Time Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Ginger added a ton of texture throughout the mini album by continuing to combine the corrugated cardboard with the metal embellishments and paper flowers, with a variety of the cut-aparts from the paper collection scattered throughout. This mini album is filled with a ton different pockets and flaps throughout. The flap on the page shown above was finished off with a Tim Holtz on the edge die from Sizzix. On the page shown here, Ginger used this same die to create a pocket on the right coupled with the Tim Holtz cabinet dies on the left to create a small flap.
For a complete look at this mini album, please visit Ginger on her YouTube channel - mysistersscrapper. The ButterBeeScraps items used throughout this mini include the following: - Creative Clocks charm collection - Bronze Mini Gears - Mixed Gears - Mega Pack - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #265-B) - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #546-B) - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #553-B) - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #676-B) - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #683-B) - Bronze Filigree Metal Embellishment (Item #886-B) - Bronze Tibetan Style Connector (Item #J384-B) BIG changes are to come at ButterBeeScraps!

Thanks for stopping by today! ButterBeeScraps Team Hello everyone! Today, I have a jewelry piece to share with you. I designed a necklace using several products from ButterBeeScraps Artistic Treasures. I had some fun creating this piece and adding some color to the bronze filigree pieces. The base is a beautiful Bronze Square Filigree and I painted it with Lumiere Pearl Turquoise Paint. Once the paint was dry I used steel wool to buff the filigree piece so some of the paint would be removed and the bronze metal would show. Doing this gives the metal piece a patina look. Next I painted the Bronze Flower 8426 using Vintaj Patina Paint Quartz and Ruby. I painted the bottle petals with Quartz. For the middle layer of petals I mixed the Quartz and Ruby paint. Then for the top layer of petals I used the Ruby paint. Once the paint was dry I used E6000 to adhere the square and flower filigree pieces. Then when the adhesive was dry I gave the metal pieces a couple coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Matte Finish. I added three 6x8mm Faceted Glass Abacus Beads - Clear AB to the center of the flower and I added one Clear AB SS10 Pointy Back Crystal Rhinestone in the center of the beads. I also added the Clear AB SS10 Pointy Back Crystal Rhinestones to the stamen part of the flower. I used a metal hole punch to punch a hole in the bottom of the square filigree piece. Then I made some beaded dangles to hang from the bottom. I used Bronze Ball End Head Pin, Bronze Filigree Bead Caps (Item #CAP046-B), 6x8mm Faceted Glass Abacus Beads - Clear AB, 8x12mm Faceted Glass Teardrop Beads - Clear AB, Aqua Crystal Beads and Pink Flower Bead Caps to create the dangles. Then I attached them using Bronze Jump Rings. To finish off the necklace I added some bronze chain and a lobster clasp. This would be a perfect necklace for Spring--now we just need some warmer weather LOL! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful week! Heidi Supplies

Today, we have a beautiful Altered Wooden and Wire Heart Jewelry Wall Hanging to share with you. Design Team Member, Anna Fallas created this pretty piece. Anna found this wooden and chicken wire heart at her local Joann store. She painted it using parchment and Martha Stewart pearl acrylic paints. Then she used beautiful laces and trims along with metal embellishments to alter the heart. Here you can see Anna added lace trim and flat back pearls all around the heart. Then she added a cluster of flowers along the bottom side. She used some of the Bronze Filigree Embellishment-Flower (Item #114-B) to create these fun little butterflies. To create the butterflies Anna used two of the filigree pieces and then she cut one petal from each filigree. Next she bent the filigree pieces in the center and then layered the two pieces for the butterfly. She also added a Bronze Filigree Embellishment (Item #CAP040-B) and some SS16 - light Colorado topaz flat backs to the center of the butterfly. To finish them off she added some pearl sprays. Here is a close up of the butterflies. Here is the flower cluster on the other side of the heart. Anna also tucked in a couple of the Bronze Filigree Embellishment-Heart (Item #023-B) with the flowers. Here is a close up of the flowers and you can see the metal heart filigree pieces peeking out.
