Hearts, hearts, hearts... and glitter!

Valentine's is coming up soon! I started making my valentine cards, I've made few so far, hopefully I have time to make some more. I also made heart gift tags.
All of the hearts were cut out using my Cricut machine. I got creative and layered different sizes and colors to make them more interesting. I used a lot of glitter and colored paperstock.
Had tons of fun making them.












And of course the cards need envelopes too!

All of these are for sale on my Etsy shop - StarbitJewels

Of course this isn't all the valentine creations I will be making - I'm planning on valentine heart cookies and other treats. Look for an update in the next few days.


Happy Valentine's Day! <3

Colorful Feathers


Last week my friend asked me if I know how to make feather earrings. I've never made them before, however I had one pair from a long time ago - I looked at it and it looked pretty simple to make. So I went to the craft store over the weekend, got a bag of feathers, earring findings and little crimp beads with a ring attached to them


I used different beads I already had to make different designs.
I started making them and couldn't stop! I made 12 pairs and 1 long earring (didn't have the same feathers to make a second one, however I might turn it into a hair clip) in the last 3 days. They are so much fun to make! And I will keep making them until I run out of feathers.
My favorite feathers are the ones with dots. They're so pretty and unique.

Here are each one by one:
