Rocker Glam Series On Sale!!!

Gift Packs Are Here!

The sun came out today for about 15 minutes and I was finally able to take photos of these. These gift packs include a handmade card with a matching silver tin, perfect for small gifts! The cards measure 4" x 5.5" and come in a clear cello envelope for protection. The tins measure 2" across and 1" high. I intentionally left the cards blank on the inside so you can use them for any occasion! They should be up in my shop by this afternoon sometime :D

Twenty-Second & Main

Twenty-Second & Main is another one of my etsy shops, solely dedicated to vintage finds. I had some old jewelry kicking around and figured, why not? I currently have only 3 pieces listed by I plan to add more once the holidays are over and some of the craziness stops. Check out the blog here.

I Did It Again...

The allure of Apple Mint soap couldn't keep me away any longer. I purchased another bar of soap from Katie at MyBirch. I started using the Apple Mint sample she sent over. It has a great lather and leaves my hands super soft afterwards. Yay!

Rocker Glam!

Last week I was cleaning out some of my bins and I found the wing charms I purchased months ago. Initially I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with them but I liked them so I bought them anyways.

I made a three charm necklace for myself last month and I've gotten a lot of complements on it so I decided to take the wing charms and do the same.

All four of the necklaces are made with silver diamond cut ball chains. Here's the breakdown of the charms:

Rocker Glam I: Silver wing charm, grey iridescent fleur de lis, pink Swarovski crystal drop

Rocker Glam II: Silver wing charm, grey iridescent lion, black faceted glass bead

Rocker Glam III: Silver wing charm, grey iridescent crest, flat grey bead with clear Swarovski crystalsRocker Glam IV: Silver wing charm, grey iridescent altered fleur de lis, mother of pearl donut bead

They all retail for $18 and you can find them here.

Color Kits by IssueGirl

Here's the latest addition to IssueGirl. Color Kits are essentially 40mL glass vials filled with a variety of beads, findings, clasps and whatnot. Each one has a specific color theme. In them you may find lampwork, seed beads, millefiori, glass rondelles, Swarovski crystals, charms, findings and a number of other unique items. So far I've listed two on etsy: Turquoise Dreams and Pretty In Pink. I had planned on putting the whole lot up but my laptop keeps timing out when I try to upload the photos. Not sure if it's an issue on my end or etsy's.

Rock Out With Etsy!

I just posted this about an hour ago on etsy. It's my OOAK DIY Rock Star Scrapbook Kit.

This scrapbook is made from five brown paper lunch bags, which gives you extra big pockets for additional photos or momentos. It has rock star themed cardstock and is finished with black, sage and brown polka-dot ribbon. It comes with 3 large pieces of cardstock to put your photos on as well as tags and stickers.

I also make custom paper bag scrapbooks in any theme you can think of. Just ask!

Travel To The Far East

Totally different from our Rockstar line, these Far East themed cards make me want to find a quiet corner somewhere and reflect on things. I love the colors and designs. These cards have a white base with matching envelopes. I decided to go with a textured cardstock this time and it finishes the cards off nicely. There are four up for grabs in the store and I plan to add more within the next few days. Keep an eye out for scrap paper packs with this theme as well!

Rockstar Themed Cards at IssueGirl

I was lucky enough to score the rockstar cardstock at an amazing price so I scooped up as much as I could. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to create with it and I'll admit, it sat in my tote for about a month or so. Then the card making bug hit me last week and I've been crafting up a storm. I've already sold five of them and as much as I'd like to keep them around because they're so damn cute, they need to go.

All of my Rockstar themed cards have an ivory base with matching envelope. They are sealed in a clear cello envelope for extra protection in shipping or can be kept in to give as a gift. The cardstock is high quality and many of the cards have silver or gold foiled designs on them. I've added glitter to the card you see here (Guitar Rockstar Card) and also to the Smile Gorgeous Rockstar Card to give them that little something extra. My favorite card has to be the Deathly Molecules Rockstar Card. The design is a basic hexane ring but with small silver skulls making the connections. I've been thinking about making it into a t-shirt design for all of us science geeks! You can check out the store here.
