THE BIG REVEAL...

...

I'm starting a Monthly Handmade Embellishment KIT CLUB!!! AHHH!!

Unlike most of the other companies you will not need a "membership" I will start with a set number of kits, and once those have sold I will make more as the orders come in - don't worry.. I've got a handy man to help me ;) He even learned to crochet with me!! 

On the first of the month I'll reveal an Inspiration board and the name of the new kit - in the days following I will reveal bits and pieces of the kit -- then it will be up for sale as a whole piece! The price will always be $18 with $3 shipping in the US and $5 shipping in Canada :) International from there will be figured out if it comes up :)

After the last day of the month.. the kits will be RETIRED. 

think of things like handmade flowers (paper, fabric, felt, cardboard, crocheted, resin),wire wrapped pieces, scatters, banners, pinwheels, 3D embellishments, silhouettes (designed and cut by me!), resin pieces.. the list goes on and on! :) 

Each kit each month will be full of glorious pieces to use on your cards, layouts and altered pieces.

Hat Pin Tryout!

What do you think?? 

(bad cellphone photo)

they're 6 inches long (You can't see the end in this photo)

What do you think of these? Price range? would you use them on pages? cards? altered goods? are they too long? 

Photos from the Winter Western

My last craft show was a half success -- not a complete failure but I think online is where I'll keep my stuff..

it did however give me the opportunity to branch out and create LOTS of fun new stuff for the shop.. while I'm photographing all my goodies to put up.. take a look at the pictures of the booth :D

Keep in mind that I shared half the booth with a good friend -- so not everything you see is mine!

The banners, garlands, white frames with chicken wire, tags, vintage pillows and wreaths are mine :) 

there are also a couple of bracelets floating around.. some keychains.. a few hair barrettes thought not many!

Everything on this shelf is mine, pillows, blocks, wreaths, garland, chicken wire frame.. all stuff that will be coming to the shop soon!

Shabby Chicness (my favorite description)

I love the description Shabby Chic --- even though it has so many meanings and is totally overused. what can I say? I'm addicted to the feelings of nostalgia that it invokes!

Here is a new flower -- I tried replicating the Gatsby collection by Prima but with my own little twist of vintage lace (I also used grosgrain instead of a smooth seam binding) -- And I've been experimenting with other fabrics as well -- burlap, muslin and the likes --- for more vintage kind of turn of the century feelings rather than so much glitz and glam.

What do you think??

New : Die cuts!

While I'm in the process of getting some other things together for the shop, I've decided to start offering die cuts in different materials ... 2 of my favorite: Corrugated cardboard and manila -- if there's something you don't see that you'd like, shoot me a convo!

get fifty tickets for $3!

10 umbrella men for $3

and 5 each of the key and matching keyplate for $3!

We've already been included in a few GORGEOUS treasuries! Raindrops on Roses and Seeking Shelter

Fly Away - 3D wall art

Who doesn't love butterflies? SERIOUSLY? they are so peaceful and gorgeous.

here are some butterflies I've been making out of aluminum pop cans. I've arranged this set into a wall hanging.



I will be sending a ton of these to the designers over at ReadySetCreate who are featuring UmWowStudio products in an upcoming issue! and keep your eye out on the etsy store for some of your own to purchase!




I've made these gorgeous winged creatures out of pop cans, as mentioned before, and adorned them with wires, beads, gems, faux antenna, pearls, glitter, and even have a couple laying around on my desk made out of fabric with lace accents! The frame is some random one picked up from a friend, it started out as this nice sandy color and I just dry brushed white acrylic over it. The butterflies are stamped from a Stampin' Up Die. I'm going to enter this wall hanging to Simon Says Stamp and Show.. challenge.

New Goodies (butterflies, fabric flowers...)

Here are some new goodies I've been making to go up for sale!! as soon as I have a good collection of both completed and photographed they'll be up!
