Hip-Hop Accessories
When I received Melanies new set “Hip hop accessories” in the mail I was blown away, I mean 50 stamps is a LOT to take in! Then I started looking at the mini images and when I see mini images my mind goes to resin. So I decided to make a few accessories with the hips and hops!
I used one of the altoid tins that Gina sells and started with the top using the frame from Melanies set “Whats in your tin?” #1 and stamped the mini crown in versamark, the title in purely pom ink and then the butterfly from “Just so Hoppy” in lilac. Then I adhered the label and glued two brads on the sides and covered the top in clear baubles from Michaels. The edge was wrapped in pink ribbon and then on the bottom of the tin I alternated more baubles. I wanted it to look like a sparkly jewel, perfect for a little girl. I also lined the inside with ribbon and a bottom layer of paper on the tin.
Inside the tin are two hair clips and a bracelet with a charm. I cut out and colored the crown and embedded it into clear resin with a layer of glitter and then pink resin.
Isn’t it so cute? I made this for a special little girl who is celebrating a BIG victory soon, I am holding onto it until it’s time to celebrate. I thought for a little girl the crowns, sparkles and hair clips would have made me so happy as a little girl. Well obviously, they STILL make me happy, lol!
And I have a little peek of another piece I’ve been working on that I’ll show more tomorrow. The recipient of the treasure box has a little sister and I don’t want to send something without her getting anything. So here’s a peek at a little kangaroo pendant I’m finishing up.
Sean is on vacation this week and next and tomorrow is MY day! So after I meet my trainer and go to physical therapy (my darn ribs have moved…….she’s gently trying to push them back in place,lol) then I get to come home and STAMP, STAMP, STAMP!!!!! I have lots to do and lots to show so hold on tight, there’s a lot to look at this week!
Happy hump day!

You could call it an obsession and you might be right.
I was digging around in my drawers and folders of embellishments and came accross this heart I’ve had for years. It is thin tin and very light weight. It was also begging to be made into a pendant. So I stamped it with versamark and embossed it with a rust colored EP. Then adding a chain was the final step!
It’s a substantial piece, about 1 3/4 wide and the same length. It hangs diagonally and is oh so pretty on. I cant fit myself into my lightbox so I’ll let you imagine it for yourself!
Enjoy!
