Beaded Jewelry Gifts

I started to do beading about one year ago. I think the hand-made gifts are the best gifts for friends (hope my friends also think the same way). Below are the finished beaded jewelry gifts I made and sent to different friends. 

The first one is a beaded pendant made by Swarovski 6mm crystal bicones. Love the different shades of blues. 



The second one is a beaded bracelet made by Swarovski pearls, bugle beads, and Swarovski crystals. The blue crystals were caged in the beaded bugle cages.



The third one is a beaded snowflake pendant made by Swarovski crystal bicones.



Next one is a simple and metal look bracelet made by SuperDuo and bugle beads.  


Below is a bracelet made by Tila beads annd Swarovski bicone crystals. 



This is a bracelet and earrings set made for a friend who received baptism a few months ago.




Below are two beaded strings I made for my Mom and Mother in law for their glasses. I am glad that both of them like it.

Love From Our Home To Yours

I love the text of "love from our home to yours" in Paper Smooches' Bitty Bungalows set. So, I want to use this text and set to make a card. I found the Memory Box's Country Landscape die is a good match to this stamp set and will combine these two products for my card.


Here is the finished card:


First, I cut out the landscape die from the white cardstock. I colored the two houses with Inktense watercolor pencils and cut out, then attached them onto the landscape die. Then, I stamped the text at the bottom of the landscape die with a red heart colored with the clear Wink of the Stella pen. I attached the foam tapes on the back of the landscape die and glue it on the light blue card background to make it dimensional. I white embossed the clouds on the light blue background and colored with silver Wink of the Stella pen to finish the card. Below is another look of the card:

 
I would like to have this card to attend this week's Paper Smooches Sparks' Anything Goes challenge. Below are the challenge photos:



I also have this card to attend this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Anything Goes. Below is the challenge photo:
