Memory wire bracelet and matching earrings


For my best friend's birthday, I made my first memory wire bracelet and matching earring set. I used beads from Club Scrap, and made the earring card using paper from the Club Scrap 2007 retreat.

I've just started making jewelry and
am still learning to use all of the
tools, my latest hobby.

Wild Card - Cupcake Card and Envie

Using the Wild Card cartridge, I cut this at 5 1/4 " (both the card and the envie) using pink Bazzill cardstock. I cut the purple/pink overlay of the cupcake bottom at 5 1/4" using scrap paper and the white top of the cupcake at 5 1/4".

After I glued it together, I used Magic Scraps glue to attach purple and pink beads as cupcake "sprinkles". On the card, I lightly chalked the candles in purple and yellow. I also chalked the bottom of the cupcake to give it more dimension.

I embossed the white part of the envelope to make it look like icing, and lightly topped it with purple glitter glue. (In case you couldn't tell, my niece, at 5, is REALLY in to pink and purple!) NOTE: I had to cut about 1/8" off the top of the card to make it slide easily in to the envelope.
