Spellbinders - A Gilded Life - Rose Medallion

I created using the new Rose Medallion  - A Gilded Life Bezel from Spellbinders.   I created this Bezel using some things I have had gathering on my desk.

 

The Pink Foil from the Delicate Pastels Premium Craft Foils Assortment has been cut using the Crown Circle die template and the Artisan X-plorer Machine. I have embellished it using an earring that has lost it's 'other' and a rhinestone circle from a bracelet that was no longer being worn - one of the 'pluses' of having two teenage girls on the house. 

 ICE Resin® has been added to the base of the Bezel and glitter added, followed by the embellishments and more  ICE Resin® added to fill the Bezel - it is as easy as that!

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

Spellbinders - A Gilded Life - Crown Bezel

 I am back with another Bezel to share with you - I told you it is addictive and believe me - there are many more to come!!  This time I am using the divine Crown Bezel - Large - A Gilded Life Bezel from Spellbinders. 

  

The Silver Precious Metals Premium Craft Foil has been cut/ embossed using the Crown Circle die template and the Artisan X-plorer Machine.   I have embellished it using a Glass Stone and Want2Scrap© - Baby Bling.  Finishing off with ICE Resin®. The Glass Stone is actually rounded but the dimension disappeared using the Ice Resin.

  This is a very quick and easy project - but I have to be honest and say - the Bezel does a lot of the work - don't you agree!!

 Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

Media Mixage Cherub Bezel

I have shared a something a little bit different on the Want2Scrap Blog and wanted to share it with you today - a Media Mixage Ornament - made using Want2Scrap© pearls and the gorgeous line of  Spellbinders products.

The Squares Two bezels designed by Susan Lenart Kazmer™ for Spellbinders makes the perfect base for this ornament - I have used red Premium Craft Foils, along with the Music Spellbinders® Media Mixáge™ Texture Plate.  A charm from my stash has been added, followed by ICE Resin® - I love the way this came together so easily.

Want2Scrap© - Baby Bling has been adhered around the edge to form a pretty frame and add to the nostalgic feel.  Some Seam Binding and a silver spacer added to the top and a silver heart from my stash to the lower ring - nice and easy and so effective don't you think!

Spellbinders Media Mixage Hatpins

 I have been playing with some of the Spellbinders Hatpins from the Media Mixage Range and some ICE Resin®

It is so easy and so much fun to create a pretty Hatpin - the possibilities are endless.  I have used vintage buttons for my three Hatpins - each one has it's own 'flavour' as you will see.

For the first one I have used the Circle Hatpin.  The filigree button gives a beautiful vintage feel and is finished off with some pearls and gems.

 and again for the second, the Circle Hatpin.  This button is hollow and the ICE Resin®

fills the empty middle and brings the blue underneath to life. 

 the third and final one has been created using the Square Hatpin.  A white square button has been added to the bottom of the Hatpin and a silver charm on top - the ICE Resin® seals them together. 

As you can see - so quick and easy but so effective - I have more coming and look forward to sharing them with you - can we say addictive!?!? LOL.   I would love to hear what you think.

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!
