The Project:

I wanted to create a cute, unique gift container for a small gift and I decided to use these 4oz jelly jars.

I adhered patterned paper to each lid and tied each jar off with The Twinery's twine. 

{Each jar has a combination of two of the following colors: Flax, Honeydew, Blossom, Caribbean, Pink Sorbet, and Buttercream.}

And what is a gift container without a gift?

I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool, Bubble Caps, and Metal Charms {all are Oval 25} to create pendants.
I love the  Metal Charms - such beautiful detail and I love that they are actually metal (instead of a plastic imitation).

Each pendant is strung on a length of Flax, Honeydew, or Blossom twine. I added a little pearl to finish off each necklace.

I love using The Twinery's twine to create jewelry! It is so soft and comfortable to wear and I love to leave the necklace ends so that it can be easily tied in a bow to create a necklace of any length.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Falling Leaves Tags

I created this set of three tags using the Unity/Simple Stories Itty Bitty stamp "LIFE Bingo".

I stamped the bingo card in three colors of ink onto some patterned papers from the Basic Grey Basics {Manila} 6x6 pad.


I used a Fiskars Squeeze Punch to punch out the leaves from the stamped papers, adhered them to a tag-sized piece of kraft cardstock and then added a cute little canvas and pearl embellishment.


Quick and easy, and if I do say so myself...kinda cute. :o)

KaiserCraft Mini Cards {A Walk Down Memory Lane}

{As seen today on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog}



When I think of KaiserCraft, I generally think of their pearls, rhinestones, and alterable items.

I actually wasn't aware until recently that they also have a line of acrylic stamps!
{And with the additional discount as one of the Featured Manufacturers at A Walk Down Memory Lane this month, you can't beat the price!}



I love the subtle look that a background stamp can add to a card or scrapbook page, so I took this Script stamp:


And used it to add a little extra flair to my mini cards:

{I repeated the stamp in two colors of ink to give the image more depth and coverage.}
