All That Stickles Sweet & Sparkly Blog Hop

Welcome to the last stop on the Sweet & Sparkly Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


The holidays are just around the corner, and the ATS design team has put together some fabulous, sparkly projects to help get in the holiday spirit!

If you're looking to start at the beginning of the hop, please visit All that Stickles. If you've come from Angeline's blog, you're in the right place.


I have some great stocking stuffers for little ones; they are also good to keep on hand for extra visitors and a cinch to make. I love little treat bags because they can be filled with anything for any age. The bag toppers are great for using up scraps and easy to decorate with stamps or embellishments.

I made these two stuffed with a pen and notebook. Perfect for a few tween girls I know.

A bit of turquoise Stickles adds some sparkle to the flower.

The tweens have a little brother who can't be left out. I stamped a simple Santa topper and even added a stamped image to the notebook he can color with the crayons.
 I had fun coloring Santa with Stickles. Christmas Red, Holly, Black Diamond, Silver, Cotton Candy and Frosted Lace trim him out perfectly.

ATS Hop ~ Button Bonanza

Welcome to the Button Bonanza Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


Buttons are fabulous embellishments to all types of craft projects, and what better than to spruce them up with some Stickles?!

 If you have just come across the hop and are looking to start at the beginning, please visit All that Stickles! If you've come from Ann's blog, you're in the right place.

I took a cute Halloween decoration and made even CUTER with buttons and Stickles.
This cracks me up and I'm tempted to hang on someone's door, or I could use it at my own work desk. Hmm, let's see, looks like the witch is IN.
A cute button dots the I.
 
Now the witch is out!
 O's are great to replace with a button.


 I went button crazy along the hats band and filled in all the spots with Purple Stickles. I used Stardust over the other areas.
 Even the letter's received some Stickles Stardust.

ATS Furry Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Furry Friends Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!


Cute, cuddly, soft, and sweet, having a pet is quite the treat! This month we are honoring our furry friends with a dash of Stickles!

 If you have just come across the hop and are looking to start at the beginning, please visit All that Stickles. If you've come from Chas's blog, you're in the right place.

If you've ever stopped at my blog, you've probably seen pics and read stories of my fur herd. Mr. Gears and I share our home with seven cats. At one point we had NINE (all house cats) and I vowed to never reach double digits. It's not easy when both adults are softies for any sad cat story. I believe the technical term for a group of cats is a clowder, but we coined the term Fur Herd. Trust me, with that many furry feet in a house there is fur EVERYWHERE.

I picked up this cute frame at a thrift store for a buck and couldn't decide what photo I would put in it. How can I choose just one from that line up at the top of the blog? The frame was pretty one note with the designs etched in, kind of like a fake marble surface.
The window is 2" x 3" so there's no way I could display all fur herd members in the frame. When I found the verse on TLC Creations site, I knew it would be perfect for my frame. I used Stickles to glam up the frame and now I have a sweet decoration for the kids to knock off the shelf. :o)
I added a layer of Stardust Stickles over the letters in CATS for some sparkle.
I'm primarily a card person so creating decorative items doesn't always come easy to me. Want to know what I love about Stickles? Oh wait, that would become a 10 page post, let me rephrase, know what ONE of my favorite things about Stickles is? They are SO versatile. You can add them to just about anything for a bit of texture and LOTS of sparkle.
 I added Stickles to some of the designs in the frame and love how they turned out. All I had to to was squeeze and trace the existing lines. If you go slow and squeeze consistently, you can achieve a nice solid line. Above I used Cinnamon Stickles on the cat, Gold on the eyes, and Cotton Candy on the heart, nose and ears.
I changed it up and only added Orange Peel Stickles to this cat's stripes, eyes and ears the same, and threw in some Aqua Stickles on the fish bones.
 I used Gunmetal Stickles on this cat's spots, Platinum Stickles on the paw and Thistle Stickles on the word love.
More Platinum Stickles on the MEOW, Stardust Stickles on the mouse, Silver Stickles scratch marks and Black Diamond, Green and Cotton Candy Stickles on the kitty face.

1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the 1 + 2 = Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

Back to school is just around the corner, and what better way to start off the school year then with a bit of sparkle?! Today the design team is showcasing all sorts of glittery back to school projects that kiddos and teachers will love!

If you've come from Chas's blog, you're in the right place! If you have just come across the hop and would like to start from the beginning, please visit All that Stickles.

For my project, I made a locker mirror. I picked up this basic green flower in the 70% off bin (was originally $2.99) and knew I could do something with it. It's made from fun foam and it's not a real mirror, but as you can see my frizzy head peeking behind Mr. Nut, it has a great reflection!
Here's a close up taken at an angle so I can really hide. The mini chalkboard is from Hobby Lobby and came in a pack of 6. There are clips on the back so you can attach them anywhere. I added a magnet to the back so it can stick on the locker and hold a note or photo. I outlined the mirror in Crystal Stickles and added some Platinum Ice Stickle dots for interest.
I free-squeezed the A+ with the Platinum Ice Stickles.
This Bugaboo image is perfect for back to school I colored him with Copics and did a Pile Up of Stickles on the books.
A quick, easy and THRIFTY project that will look great inside a girl's locker. Now to decide who to give it to.......

Surf, Sun Stickles Blog Hop

Welcome to the Surf, Sun, & Stickles Blog Hop brought to you by the All that Stickles design team!

We're in the midst of a heat wave and what better way to cool off then indoors crafting with some Stickles?! This month's hop is all about using Stickles on those fun, summer-themed projects we all love to create. 

For my project I made a Sand-sational Shadowbox.
 I had the kit from a craft club and it was pretty basic. I swapped out the paper from the kit for something more fun and added a blinged out image and embellishments.

The image is Mermaid Fun from Fresh Brewed Designs. I colored her with Copics and added lots of Stickles.
The embellishments are stickers from the kit. Did you know Distressed Scattered Straw Stickles looks like sand? I added it to the starfish and then sprinkled real sand on it while it was still wet.
 For the shells I colored them with Copics first to match my image and then did the same stickles and sand technique.
The sand really pops on the sandcastle!
