Seeing Red

Seeing Red - I am participating in a swap at CDAC that is to make stick pins with a Love theme. This is my swap. We had to make 6 sets of 3 stick pins and then package them, so as to be a little gift for the 6 in our group. These are so fun to do. I love how romantic these pins can be. You can be looking in the months to come, all the lovely pins that I will soon be receiving.

The challenge at Creative Card Crew is Seeing Red, so I thought these stick pins would be perfect for my DT project. We are sponsored by Pizzazz Aplenty who has the most amazing prices for stick pins. I bought most of my stick pin supplies from Pizzazz Aplenty and was amazed by all that I received.

Here is the front of my pin holder. I cut the little booklet from the Damask Decor Cricut cartridge. I then went around the image with a gold pen. This was very time consuming, but I think well worth the effort. I then added the gemstones.

Here is a shot of my pins. On the left pin, I used a crytsal stick pin, that was colored with a gold Copic. Do you notice the rhinstone spacer? Those came from Judy at Pizzazz Aplenty. I bought only 2 packages and I used every one of them between this swap and my Christmas gifts to my scrapbooking buddies. I will soon be ordering more of these. LOL

The middle stick used a silver pin and heart. They were also from Judy, as was the crakled bead.

The right stick pin used another of Judy's pin, the red crystal ones. The red bead was also from Judy's shop.

You can see that I am a very loyal customer of Judy's and I am sure that you will be too, once you see her prices.

To make the beads all you do is put them on the pins, then use Glossy Accents as your glue to hold them in place. Warning: these are very addictive!!!!! LOL

I wrapped my ribbon around my card, then tied bows in my ribbon using my Bow Easy.
I hope that you will also be seeing red and join in our challenge at Creative Card Crew.
