Taylored Expressions Designer Dangles - Shape Shifters Die

I am so excited to share a couple more projects I made with the new

Shape Shifters Dies from Taylored Expressions.

 I love all three of the Designer Dangles dies TE released last week but Shape Shifter is by far my favorite. These embossed earrings are my new favs. I just love the shape of these dies. 

For detailed instructions check out my video on YouTube:

 I used TE gold and silver embossing powder to create the 'dipped' look on these earrings. 

These earrings are so simple and fun to make. See the entire collections here:

I had so much fun playing with the 3 new die sets and new faux leather sets.

I used TE embossing powder (gold & silver) to create these fun earrings. The Bigger the Better dies were used to make the pink and teal earrings along with TE Big Bold Butterfly stamp. 

I used the Shape Shifter dies to make the dark purple/silver and fuchsia/gold earrings. 

I have two crafty passions in my life- stamping and beading and these dies

bring them both together for me. 

 I am in love with all the new colors of faux leather.

The basic earrings laying on the flower are probably my favorite. I wear them with everything, they are made with the Shape Shifter dies and Craft Leather - Weave. 

I will share a video soon of how I made some of these earrings. 

Thanks for stopping by!

TE Craft Kit: Designer Dangles

I just finished designing some projects for Taylored Expressions new Designer Dangle: TE Craft Kit and it was so much fun.

I love stamping but I also love making simple jewelry just as much, so this kit was perfect for me! And it is being release just in time for gift giving this Holiday season. 

Here is my video on YouTube, showing some of my earrings.

This first pair is made from just the supplies in the kit. I used the dark gray craft leather and the silver craft leather die cut with the 2 smaller dies in the kit. I love these because of their versatility and simplicity. 

I stepped up the next 2 pair of earring with charms that I purchased at a local scrapbook store (Memory Bound) and from Artbeads.com but charms are available at most any craft store. 

I love these gold Lotus charms with the cork.  I also love that they are small because smaller earrings are my go to most days. 

This next pair has to be my favorite, I just really love the simplicity and the gold and silver combination.  I used some purple tape to mask off a line on the leather. I then took my versa mark pad and pressed it on the craft leather, added gold and embossing powder and heated until it was melted. I die cut after the embossing was cool and that is it. So great! 

So then I had to try Deco Foil (no worries, no minc needed). I used score tape or sticky tape what ever you have, and added it to the craft leather, die cut the earring, peeled of the backing off the tape and press the foil over it, and finally peeled of the foil to reveal the magic. SO COOL!  

(Note: put the dull sided of the foil on the tape, shiny side up.)

I used Teal Deco foil and 1/8" sticky take for these:

 And I used Pewter Foil and 1/2" score tape for these:

 And finally I used Opal Foil and 1/8" score tape for these:

Have a great day! Happy crafting!

My Favorite Things- Stencils & Stencil Brushes
