Fit for a Queen

Today I made another piece of jewelry from the new

Gilded Life Collection from Spellbinders.  This bezel

is called the Small Crown Bezel and it is truly a

gorgeous piece to work with.  It too comes in 2 sizes

and comes in both bronze and silver.

There really wasn't much needed for this piece.  

 I used the matching dies to cut the aqua paper to put

inside of the bezel and then i used a small decorative trinket

that I found at the hobby store to put in the center. Then I 

just added a little bit of Glossy Accents and let it dry. To finish it

I added a few rhinestones from Want2Scrap and that was it.

  The beautiful aqua really sets off the bronze in the Bezel

 and I just added a simple chain for this one so it wouldn't be so fussy.

I sure am having lots of fun with these beautiful bezels

and hope you get the chance to make up a few for you too.

Thanks for stopping by and seeing what's new on my blog

and be sure and let me know what you think so that I can

pass it on to everyone at Spellbinders :)

Have a wonderful day,  Teresa

Gilded Life in Pink...

Today I have another brand new necklace to share that I created

with the Gilded Life Iron Cross Bezel.  They come in 2 sizes and

in both bronze and silver and since I was using pink beads I
used the small bronze bezel to create with....

So to start my necklace I decided to only use a pretty intricate 

cabachon I had to decorate the front of the bezel and fill it with pretty

pink glitter. It has a dome cover so I glued that on and let it dry 

and then glued the whole piece on the front of the Iron Cross Bezel .

  It was really simple yet it looks really pretty I think.

For the chain I repurposed some pearls and pink crystal beads 

and mixed them in throughout the chain to make it 

a little more feminine.  I also had fancy metal circles that
matched from my stash so I added those too.  I finished the end
with a matching closure and that was it.  I have the perfect outfit to
match and can't wait to wear it somewhere and show it off!

Be sure and check out all the Spellbinders Gilded life products on

the Spellbinders website and your local craft store too. They

can really be addicting to craft with :)  Can't wait to show you the 

other beautiful things that they have later this week.....

Have a great day everyone,

New Gilded Life for Spellbinders

Now that the CHA show is over we can share lots of the fun

products that we have for Spellbinders and Gilded Life.

All this week I will have something new that I made

and lots of new cards for Valentines next week.  How exciting!!

My first project to share is a heart necklace that I made

with the small Heart Bezel in bronze. Each of the pieces

come with matching dies to cut out the insides so I cut

and embossed a piece of the heart die with premium craft foil
and then embossed it again with the French Script Texture plates.  

Then I added rhinestones all around the outside edges

and filled it in with Glossy Accents.  This is faster than resin
 and will dry overnite so that you can wear it the next day.

To attach my heart to the chain I created a twisted loop

that I attached to the chain with jump rings.

 I had some really pretty red beads so I created the chain 

but cutting small pieces of bronze 20 gauge wire from Beadalon

and attaching them together with Beadalong chain nose pliers and
my nylon jaw pliers.  I added chain on both ends

with bronze jump rings and a clasp to close it.

I love hearts of all kinds and this was really fun and easy

to make in an evening.  I hope you like it and be sure

and go check out all the other beautiful things available

to buy and stop in tomorrow for another new project!!

Happy Monday....
