Cupcake Pendant

Another pendant...because that is what I am making these days, I may stamp again, but for now I am cranking these things out and I love it!

I used Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper for this one, the cupcakes are the perfect size for the triangle tray!    

Glass Pendants

 I have found a way to use my patterned paper. The poor stuff has been languishing in my new Spare Bedroom/Office/Craft Room since I moved. I just don't have the mojo to make cards right now.

Necklaces and Pendants though, Oh Yeah!!! I can not stop making these things!!!

 All of these were made using Diamond Glaze and Paper scraps!!! Well and some supplies from the Jewelry section. The combinations are endless! Simple modern pendants with just the glass domino tiles, vintage with Antique Bronze starburst trays, or a little in between with simple silver trays.

If you would like to see more styles I have them up at my Etsy store, Hope Springs Art

I also made Connor's teacher a little Giftie for Christmas...thanks Again to Pinterest for the idea!!!

I'm not great at pre planning these sorts of things, so I had some spacing issues, but Black Stickles saved the day!!!
