Moving Blog to www.Bella-Lucca.blogspot.com

I am moving my blogspot. I know I only started this a bit ago, however, this is not the name I planned on keeping for my listings permanently. I have now moved my blog to www.bella-lucca.blogspot.com. These are the names of 2 of my 3 dogs, and just seems to fit me. I am also setting up my Etsy shop so if anyone is interested in purchasing items I have created you will have that accessibility to do that too! I am really excited to see how this endeavor goes. Of course I am not quitting my day job, but just enjoy the art of crafting so much, that it will be nice to share my work with others.

Also, any feedback anyone has regarding my creations is wonderful in helping me grow with what I am creating.

Box in a Bag

Just love making these. They are simple, yet so stunning when done with the right DP.

Christmas Tree

I saw this on Splitcoast, and wanted to make one of my own. Got a few burns from the hot glue gun, but turned out darling. I would love to do a cream one eventually. Added the glitter to bling bling it out. Turned out very sweet. We'll see if someone at the flea market will e interested.

Candy Cane Winter Wonderland

I just love candy canes for the holidays. Could eat one every day if I had my choice. Enjoy!

Tag and Card Combo-'Let it Snow'

Just love blue and silver for holiday colors. For anyone that loves to craft, you must get the Slice. It is the best. Cuts the time in half to make letters and shapes, and have really put mine to use since I got it.

Cupcake Celebration

I have just enjoyed creating cards with the Impression Obsession cupcake stamps. I of course have become addicted to DP, and used a darling striped DP layered with the cupcake cut out. And then of course again did not forget the glitz with glitter and crystal effects on the cupcake. Don't forget the stickles layered on the scallop and cirlcle punches. Also, added some embellishments with ribbon, and the cute fringe along the bottom. They are just so yummy and make me want to eat a batch of cupcakes. :)

Candilicious Tag

Just love the whimsy of the colors and the embellishments. I used the same DP as the card, and same cut out of the candy. I also added the bells at the bottom for a little added whimsy. Just makes me so excited for the holidays.

Sweet as Candy

I just love the whimsy of this candy stamp by Impression Obsession. Just makes me want to eat sweets all day long. Actually very simple. I used DP, not sure by who. Distressed the edges for the vintage appeal I adore, stamped and cut out the darling mint stamp. I dressed it up with ribbon and glitter galore that gives it the appearance of just wanting to reach out and eat it.

Baby Blissful Tag

Here is the accompanying tag to go with the darling vintage baby card. I know it's hard to see the stamped image. Because it is light colored and distressed out, did not photgraph well. Darling in person. LOVE IT!

Baby Blessings

I am so in love with this baby card. I used some beautiful, I think Melssa Frances paper, and sewed it to vintage cream card stock from Papertreyink. I then stamped a darling vintage baby dress in an SU pink ink. I of course distressed it to give that more vintage appeal. added a Baby stamp in close to cocoa from SU, and added some ribbon and a button for additional dimension. Turned out so darling I must say. I think I will do some tags and bags for a series. Look for those to follow. Some one will hopefully love this as much as I do at the flea market to get for an expecting mother.

Holiday tags

I know I know, more tags? These are a group of smaller tags, that would be darling to attach to a gift. Very simple, yet a little bling bling.

Christmas Tree

I saw this design from Splitcoast, and have been wanting to make my own version of a christmas tree. Like the darker colors and simple design.

Blissful Birthday Wishes

I love the whimsy of the cupcakes and this DP.

More tags, and More tags

I know more tags. You will be seeing quite a few of these until this Sunday.

Holiday Projects

Here are some of the items I am creating for the upcoming flea market. I am really needing to book, and get these done. I love the vintage look, and the softness of the feeling of these projects.

Holiday Button Wreath

I am just loving using buttons on my cards and such. I am truly addicted. I just love the abstract look, and vintage appeal to this card. I will hopefully be making more for the market.

Holiday Tags

Some more tags for the flea market display I will be doing this Sunday. I can only hope others will like them as much as I do, and buy them. Let's hope. I will be sharing the projects I will be working on as I go along this week in preparation.

I'm such a 'Princess'

I have been wanting to make some door hangers for kids rooms. I can not wait to show more. This one would be for a little princess's room. Love the vintage shabby look. I am hoping to get around for making some for my friend's kids rooms.

Ballerina Cat has 'Cattitude'

Love this invite I made for my friend's little girl's 4th birthda party. So, specifications were, has to have a cat, check; must be wearing a tutu, check, and of course do not forget the pink and bling bling, check and check. How can you not but just adore this card?! It is a prototype, however. The saying my friend came up with based on the stamps I had. The cattitude totally fits her. She is fun and fisty. Love that 'little lady'. Possiblities of change may include the decorative paper. I have so much to choose from, or maybe even different on each card. Also, spelled her name wrong, oops! And a few other minor adjustments. LOVE IT! Hopefully she will too!

Simple and Sophisticated

I just love first of all,black and white cards. Second, photo images, and simple sophistication. I hope this card represents all 3. The photo is cut from a 12x12 DP (I could only hope to be that good ). I also purchased some 12x12 stock that has some outside, and vintage shots, can not wait to get my hands on them. I'll share for sure!

Christmas cards

I just love this season for crafting! Who doesn't? I am hoping to get enough cards made for the flea market, and my own. All of the blogs I view are just so inspirational. I can only hope that I can be as creative as some.

Vintage tag

Here is another style of tag I have been working on. Similar to my previous posts. I just love this style, and the whimsy about it. I would love to get a tag on my present like this, wouldn't you?

Flea Market Tags

I am trying to get together my first set of items to sell at a local shop holding a flea market. I can only hope my ideas are inspiring enough to encourage a purchase or two. Wish me luck. I will post as the projects come along.

Backpack bag

Antohter one of the bags.

Backback birthday bags

I love these birthday backpack bags I made for my friend's little girl's birthday party! Her daughter absolutely gasped when she saw them. They are blinged out to the hilt, and will make the greatest gift bag of the neighborhood! Love them. Hope you do too.

Glitter Galore!

For any of you who are like me and have to have bling on everything you do, will appreciate this simple posting. I came across this glitter yesterday (not cheap mind you) and just on the couple of projects I have done already, LOVE IT! Sometimes quality does cost a little more. Cheers!

Soccer girly treat bags

Ok. Love this basket die cut from Stampin Up using the big shot. I must say the bags are a little tricky to glue together, but the end result is darling. My friend is having an end of the year soccer party at her house for her daughter's team. I suggested I make these bags, and display them with all the frills. It turned out so incredibly cute! I am sure the girls will love their candy gifts inside too!

Vintage Christmas Decor

I just love Christmas! Especially vintage items. This tree topper and angels are just too sweet!

Christmas Tags

How much fun had making these darling tags. Found some of the most amazing quality embelishments for the glitter. A little more expensive, but the outcome is so spectacular! A local shop is interested in displaying and selling these items. I am so flattered; especially since this is my first go at the tags. I guess not too much different from the cards essentially. Love the holiday season, especially Christmas.

Vintage baby card

Love the new Hanna stamp set. So fun, and can make so many type of themed cards. Definitely going to make some Christmas cards with this set.

Tiffany Inspired blue

I love this aqua mist paper stock. So pretty. Reminds of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's. Made a darling baby shower card for my sister in law (having a boy). Love doing the style with the nestability die cuts and tons of stickles. She loved the card by the way. Also made a card for my mom to give to her, and kept in the theme of the aqua mist paper. Just so delicate, whimsical and pretty.
