Thank You So Much!

Hi! It's Janis from Pause Dream Enjoy 

here today to show you a project using the CraftWork Cards CANDI product.

I love my Cricut 50 States Cartridge. Since my family travels so much, I just think it's cool to be able to use the various die cuts in this cartridge on scrapbook layout pages for places we've been.  I used this cartridge on my project today, but not because it's representing some travel we've done, but because I love the birds in this cartridge.

You can look up the STATE Birds for all 50 states ... HERE.

The Bird I'm using on my project today is the North Carolina State Bird, the Northern Cardinal. Here are 2 photographs of this bird of the male and female. (Photos from ... HERE.)

Thanks for stopping by today! :) Janis

Hello my crafty friends! It's Jillian from Paper à la Mode!!

Time for my featured designer day for Craftwork Cards Candi! 

Craftwork Cards is a UK based company who invented this wonderful embellishment called "Candi". It's super fun, super cute and super easy to add to any project to make it pop! It's like a brad top. Without piercing the paper or anything! Brilliant! They have branched out to the US and I'm a proud member of the USA Craftwork Cards Design team!!

So in light of the loving season I decided to make a lovely door hanger!! 

I used "Love Parade - Candy Floss for this project!

You can get Candi HERE!!!

CANDi For You!

Good day CANDi people! Britt Bass here from Pink Paper Crowns!  I am bringing you a little card today featuring some new CANDi fresh from the new 2013 Winter release!

I love the way CANDi adds and extra dimension to any project! It was much-needed on this card because, even though the paper looks all dimensional, it is actually just printed that way!

Here is an up-close look at some of that new CANDi!  I used it with the Fact and Fiction collection by Basic Grey Exclusively for Joann Fabrics.

I love the way this CANDi picks up the brown details in the rest of the card.

To get more info and get your hands on some new CANDi head on over to the The Royal Shoppe or the Craftwork Cards official site!!

Have a CANDi-coated day friends!!

Jars of CANDi...

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing another fun project today using some cute CANDi Mini's.

 

I made these little 3x3 cards out of Kraft paper, stamped a Mason Jar from American Crafts, filled the jars up with CANDi using Ultra Thin Glue Dots ® and matted them with denim and burlap.  I sooo love this red burlap! 

 

 I loved the red burlap idea so much,  I decided to sew up a little pouch to put my Valentines cards in.  I used a zig-zag stitch to sew two burlap pieces together then adhered a white felt heart on the front of the pouch. 

 

My project still needed a little more spice so I blinged it out with some rhinestones using my handy dandy Micro Glue Dots® adhesive roller.

You can get your own CANDi goodness HERE!

Valentine's Bouquet!

Happy Monday everyone! It is hard to believe that it is already February and that Valentine's Day is right around the corner. That is what inspired this fun Valentine's Project!

I used an old botttle that some flowers had come in and wrapped it with some Echo Park papers. I filled it up with Conversation Heart Candies and added some Heart Suckers for flowers.

I used some CANDi to embellished the punched border at the top.

I also made a matching tag. I loved the way the CANDi made a nice border at the bottom 

and I LOVE the hearts pattern!

I used Love Parade CANDi on this project! 

These are the perfect embellishments for your Valentine's projects!
