Tranparent Overlay Embellishments

Tranparent Overlay Embellishments

I've been adding more things to my Etsy shop lately. One of the things I noticed that were hot in the scrapbook industry is transparent overlays. However they usually come in large 12x12 size sheets and for some reason I always feel bad cutting up a whole sheet when I just need a small portion. I always feel like I should be using the "whole" thing for a layout, not just bits and pieces. I ended up designing these "little" transparent overlay embellishments for your scrapbook layout or a greeting card. Now I don't feel guilty using them! I just love the color of these. Aside from the pink and yellow, the blue, green, and red are a transparent color! These are sure to cheer you up and add fun to your next paper project!

DIY Favor Packaging Tutorial

I LOVE things that are matching and I LOVE candy. So bring the two things together and I won't be able to stop staring. Such is the case with these most adorable HANDMADE favors! Did someone say "handmade?"....now you REALLY have my attention! I really like the colors used and I especially like that big melon berry colored button on the tin. If you don't know by now from reading previous posts, I have a bit of an obsession with buttons...(just a wee bit! sigh!) If you want to recreate this look just follow this step by step tutorial found here. You can even purchase the supplies to make the exact one pictured here by clicking here. A key component to making this look good is the jellybeans were hand picked to have only the coordinating colors in the package and tins. So what do you do with the left over jellybeans? EAT them of course!!!!!
