Pink Rose & Crystal Cross Necklace and Earrings - Guest DT for ButterBeeScraps

Hello everyone!  Today, I am very excited to tell you that I am a Guest Designer for ButterBeeScaps.  I love using all of the beautiful metal filigrees, rhinestones, and jewelry findings to create jewelry.  So when Monique, owner of ButterBeeScraps, asked me if I would like to guest design I was happy to say yes! :) 

But before I get to my project I wanted to let you know there is a 

fantastic sale going on over at ButterBeeScraps and it ends Monday night at 11:59 pm PST.  

Black Friday Weekend SALE!!!  

Enter coupon code BF2016 for 

30% off store wide

(excluding items already on sale)

While you are there check out all of the New Arrivals, Beautiful Filigrees, Jewelry Findings and a Gorgeous Graphic 45 Mini Kit Album.  Stock up on your crafty stash or perfect presents for your crafty friends.

Here is a look at the goodies I received.  I have been having so much fun creating with these beautiful pieces and I have several ideas already sketched out for future projects.

This is the pink rose and crystal cross necklace and earring set I created.  To start I added glossy accents to the floral image and then placed a Small Round GLASS Cabochons (#CAB018) on top and moved it around until I had it centered on the image.  Then, I set the piece aside to dry for a few minutes.  Once the piece was dry I turned it over to the back side and fussy cut the excess of the image from the cabochon.  Next, I added glossy accents to the back of the glass cabochon and placed it inside of the Small Bronze Round Cabochon Settings (#F018D-B).  

I used E6000 to adhere the cabochon setting to the Bronze Decorative Cross Pendants (#J397-B).  This is such a pretty cross and it has a lot of detail.  To finish off the cross I added some SS16 Light Rose Flat Back Glass Rhinestones.  I added a couple of jump rings to the cross and then I added some chain and beaded spacers.

Here is a close up of the beaded spacers.  I used powder pink crystal beads and darker pink beads along with the Clear Rhinestone and Bronze Rondelle Spacer Beads – 6mm (#BD006-B/CL).  I thought the beaded spacers were pretty and would dress up the chain.

To create the earrings I used some of the Bronze Ball End Head Pins, Clear Rhinestone and Bronze Rondelle Spacer Beads – 6mm (#BD006-B/CL), and the same beads that were used for the necklace.  I also used the Bronze Ball End Head Pins along with the 1-Step Ear Wire Maker Tool to make the ear wires.  

I hope you enjoyed today's jewelry projects.  If you like to make jewelry this would be a quick and easy jewelry project to make for a Christmas gift or any other occasion.  

Don't forget to check out the 30% OFF Sale at ButterBeeScraps!  Also, check out the ButterBeeScraps Blog for more inspiration from the design team.

Thank you so much for stopping by and stay warm!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Updates - Some Changes, Classes, Upcoming Sale, and Online Store

New Year and New Beginnings.  Ok, so it’s not the beginning of the year anymore lol.  But life and things happen.  So I just wanted to give you a little update with some changes and maybe some new and different things that you will be seeing here on the blog.  So let’s go back a few months—back to last November (2014).

As most of you know I design for ButterBeeScraps and I am the Lead Designer.  Over the past year or so I have been helping Monique, the owner of BBS, with some of the Design Team things.  Back in November she asked me if I would possibly be able to take on some new rolls with the company.  I am still the DT Lead and now in addition to that I also do the company blog, Facebook and Pinterest.   Monique is wonderful and we have a fantastic team so I am enjoying this new position.

Also, this past November I made the decision to step down from the Spellbinders Blog Team.  I had been with Spellbinders since 2007.  I met and worked with so many wonderful people along the way and had great opportunities over the years.  I love the products and will continue to use them but I knew for myself it was time to step down and move on to the next chapter in my creative journey.

Now on to the New Year and New Beginnings.  In January I joined Ken Oliver’s Design Team as one of the Style Contributor.  Ken is fabulous and so are all of his new products—which by the way have taken off like wildfire!  Beautiful paper, inks, Color Burst, stamps, and Stick It adhesive sheets.  We have a great team with a wonderful mix of designers.

In March I started designing for Pink Ink Stamp Company.  Peggy who is the owner, is an amazing artist and designs the stamps.  Do you remember Karen Lockhart stamps?—if you loved them you will love the Pink Ink Stamps—one because the design style is very similar and two because Peggy purchased Lockhart stamps and also carries them in her collection.  So I was thrilled when Peggy asked me to join the design team.

Starting this month (April) I will be teaching stamping classes twice a month.  If you follow my blog you know I live in a smaller town and unfortunately we no longer have any local stamping or scrapbooking stores.  I will be teaching at the Senior Center out at the Skyline Mall.  Since we don’t have any local stores we are making the classes open to the public as well as members.  They have a large fantastic craft room with great lighting, large tables and lots of storage space.  I am really excited and looking forward to getting back to teaching!  If you are in the local area and are interested in the classes all of the information will be at the end of this post. 

For all the local people I am planning on having another sale this year.  Last year we had a fire in our garage so most of the spring and summer was spent on clean up and redoing the garage so I didn't have a sale last year.  But I have had sales the past several years.  So I have been going through all of my paper crafting supplies and products and pulling out a lot of supplies to make room for newer supplies.  I will have a large selections of papers, inks, stamps, dies, die cutting machines (manual and electric), ribbon and embellishments.  This year I will also be setting up an area with handmade cards, jewelry and some small home decor pieces that will be for sale.  I haven’t set a date as of yet but as soon as I have the date I will be posting here on my blog and on Facebook.  

Lastly, in case you missed the post I now have an online Zibbet store.  I right now I have some jewelry pieces listed and I will be adding more very soon.  You can click HERE if you would like to check out my store.  The image that is above is also in my sidebar and you can click there to visit the store too.
