Button Candy

This post will stay on top. Please scroll down for more recent posts.

Hi folks, how are you all doing? Hope the week is progressing nicely for you :-)

Do you ever use buttons on your projects? They really are incredibly versatile, and suitable for so many different things. I am offering you a HUGE bag of buttons as this weeks candy. Really some of these are not really buttons but flatbacks masquerading under the button umbrella. Many are shanked backed, but you can easily snip them off for a flat back.

You have metal buttons, crystal buttons, patterned buttons, pearl buttons, designer buttons, fun buttons - in other words, you get a whole load of buttons!!

To enter the candy just link to the candy on your blog, and enter the link to your blog in Mr Linky below (one entry per person only).



A winner will be chosen at random.org in two weeks time. Good luck!

THIS IS NOW CLOSED. WINNER ANNOUNCED HERE.

Monochromatic

Bright and sunny here in London today and for the first time in I don't know how long, the first thing I did was NOT to put the heating on when I got up this morning! I know it could change at a drop of a hat but the sun does bring with it sweet memories of warmer days, and it would be so nice to be able to step outside your door without instantly freezing into a Madam Tussuad worthy replica of yourself! Don't ya think?

If you are feeling a little cold then stay inside and check out our challenge for this week on Dottie's World. I am giving a £10 voucher to one of the participants over there so why not pop over and join in?



The Sunday challenge this week was set by the lovely Gunn. Gunn wanted to see shades of white to cream with a little brown.



I adhered to the rules for the front but veered well away from the main road onto the beaten track for the inside:


Quite a nice contrast I think with the cool white hues on the front and the warm earthy colours inside.

Pop over and join in why don't ya, it's super fun :-)

Here is what I used for my card:
Image: Pixie available both as part of a download bundle and also as a Delectable clear stamps . I coloured her in with Copic markers. It looks like I used Gold Stickles on her wings but in actual fact I added a touch of brown hues and a little crystal Stickles.
Papers are the new Basic Grey Origin ({heart} that collection) and the white glitter paper is K&Co Smitten speciality paper. I used ivory plain cardstock for the base card.
I used Flowersoft Polar White for the petals on my Pixie.
Lots of Pearls. These were from the K&Co Blue Awning range but we have lots more at Charmed. The pearls inside I coloured with a Copic marker to get the colour I wanted but we have lots in all coloured (check out the e-line Prima pearls for value).
The inside elements are from the "Pieces" pack from the Basic Grey Origin range. This is something new in their collections, there's a similar pack for Sugar Rush too. I also used one of the new Canvas Tags (Origin again) for the front of my card.
The little heart rub-on inside is a Fancy Pants rub-on.
I really roughed up the edges and used my Tim Holtz Paper Distresser for the job.
The frame used as a centrepiece is a large white Basic Grey metal bookplate. I think it makes for a very special card.
Brads are Basic Grey
Mini Felt Fusion floral ribbon on the front
The Glittery paper was cut with one of my Martha Stewart Deep Edge punches.

I think that's it :-)


Have a great Sunday and thanks for popping by the Charmed corner of the Web ♥

Christmas Candy

This post will stay on top until 1st Jan. Scroll down for new posts.

Fancy something sweet? I promised you a little candy and here it is. All you have to do is to leave a comment and link to it on your own blog to be in with a chance of winning. I have added Mr Linky but no idea if it works LOL PLease leave a comment in the normal way too after you have posted the link.

One person will get the whole lot and another will get the "Boy oh Boy" and "Sugar & Spice" bundles.

Good luck and Merry Christmas.

Nearly Christmas!!

..and it's a whole month since I last blogged! Why is it that all my good intentions last for a precious short time only?

There has been many new scrummy products added to our shop, don't forget to check out the "What's New" page. You can also subscribe to our newsletter and receive updates when new stock/ideas/offers are available.

I want to show you some of the Christmas cards I have made this year, other than the ones you have already seen on the main site. Here is one of them.

Quite a large card decorated inside and out. The gorgeous red poinsettia is Prima Marketing.

Patterned paper is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses "Rooftop".

I coloured the image with Copic markers and decorated the trim with Flower Soft Polar White. Reindeer on front are Dress it up Buttons. Martha Stewart Rings PATP punch used for the edges on the front. Plain cardstock. Reindeer is a K&Co Evergreen Acetate and the border inside is also K&Co Evergreen (adhesive border). The rub-on inside the card on the circles (cut with Spellbinders dies) is Imaginsce Snowy Jo. I have used red Stickles on the red layer on the front between the two green layers matting the image. You can't see it here because I can't get the light on these dark days so the pictures aren't great.

I will show some more over the next couple of days and on Christmas Eve I will show you two cards I made, and will be giving away the stamps I used in a little blog candy. So make sure you pop back for that. Not only are we giving away the two stamps but we am also giving away some of our new digi-stamp bundles. So if you want an extra Christmas present don't forget to check back :-)

Thanks for visiting ♥

Candy Winner....

I've tried to draw the winner a couple of times but each time my counting led either to someone not actually linking to anything but just making a comment, or once someone who had entered three times. I had to go away and come back to it with a fresh brain and the counting was doing my head in! Next time I MUST use Mr Linky to automatically add the numbers!

I drew the number randomly at random.org, we also had some emailed entries so the number range was expanded to fit those. Here is the result:

That's ANJIE

Congratulations Anjie, please email through your full name and address details and Graphics Direct will send you your box of 72 Copic markers - WOOHOO!!!

Commiserations to all who didn't win. Don't despair please, there will be more opportunities in the future.Thanks to all who entered xx

Another Blog Candy with a Twist....

Remember when we offered you the Copic 72 pen set? What a blog candy that was, right!! Well we're only doing it again!! 72 pens, YES 72. Want them?

Charmed Cards & Crafts have yet again teamed up with Graphics Direct Ltd to bring you this fantastic prize. Graphics Direct Ltd are probably the cheapest place to get your Copics' in the UK, and with outstanding customer service to boot. Although we sell several markers, such as Le Plume, we highly recommend Graphics Direct Ltd for THE place to get your Copics'.

The twist is that we want you to link to a project on your blog (in your comment) that either uses a download or a stamped image that you coloured in.

• Link to a card you made with a download or a stamped image (does NOT have to be one of ours).
• If you are using one of the Charmed Cards & Crafts downloads or Delectable stamps then you get two chances (please enter two comments, in the second just write "my second chance). All entries will be checked.
• Link to the candy on your blog.

Please note that if you leave more than the allowed amount of comments then you will not be eligible for entry.

This will run until 9th August. This post will stay on top until then. The final draw will be entirely random.

GOOD LUCK!! x

UPDATE 10/8/09: This is now closed, I will announce the winner soon...
