Gotham City Stampers

Do you LOVE charms? Is it hard to part with little snippets of those pieces of paper that you LOVE? I made this necklace with my friend, Eileen Bellomo, and finally got a chance to finish it over my Spring Break. We used fragments from Tim Holtz and added bits of patterned paper to the [...]

Forever ago, I made this pin with one of my favorite peeps, Eileen Bellomo. We made the flower out of metal and added a bottlecap in the center. (I know there is a video out there on how to make this flower-maybe Eileen will post it in the comments-hint, hint.) I tend to collect charms-I [...]

I just couldn’t get enough of the Shrinky Dinks so this time I used the negative space from the Top Notes that I cut out. I shrunk one down after stamping it (for more information on that check out my post from Friday). ***Don’t forget to punch your holes in the plastic BEFORE you shrink [...]

Did you check out my Shrinky Dinks jewelry post from yesterday? This is another piece that was made the same way but I took it up a few levels. Instead of one charm on the bottom of the plastic piece, I added some sparkly, dangly beads. The one crystal came with that beautiful top while [...]

Once I decided that I would sew them, I [...]

I love looking at items in a different way. Sometimes, it is great to figure out how to turn trash into treasures. A few years ago, my friend Eileen Bellomo gave me a gorgeous owl pendant that was stamped on an old game tile. I fell in love and from there my obsession with altering [...]

I LOVE making these ribbon flowers! I have been making them into pins and recently sent one to my mom. She wore it to work and people went nuts for it. That inspired me to make them and sell them on my ETSY SHOP. I will make custom colors for you. Pick some up for [...]
