Candice has done it AGAIN!






I am just amazed at my wonderfully talented daughter. Am I lucky or what? She has such a talent for design, no matter what art she is mastering! I love these new digital designs she created. The colors are so brilliant and striking! I was just feeling a little stunted with my own creativeness with my charm designs and then Candice came up with these new digital sheets. I am so excited to show my wholesale customers and list these AWESOMELY Stunning designs in my Etsy store.

Initial Designs from Candy!






I have pestered Candice on a regular basis for graphic designs for special request charms from my customers. I'm sure she hates to open an email from me, knowing it is work (freebie style), from mom. I am so excited to announce the opening of her new etsy store, featuring digital designs for charms, scrabble tiles, domino, etc. Now when I need a new design, I can look at her store, first, and if I do request a new design; at least she can use them and make money on them!

I needed some new initial designs for a wholesale client and she got right to work. I love the crispness and color combos! The zebra with hot pink initials are TDF!

If you are into soldering, scrabble tile pendants, etc. Take a look at her store, the link is on the right "Eye Candy Etsy Store". You will love her work!

Little Princess Soldered Charms







I always maintain that some of my best charms are created from customer ideas! I recently had an awesome customer, who always seems to have an endless supply of grand and creative ideas, ask me for a small glitter crown charm for a toddler. That got the creative juices flowing and I started thinking of some cute little girl charms.

As always, more pictures of these charms are on my etsy store site. Just click on the Bchic Designs Etsy Store link to the right.

Hot ~ Sassy ~ Juicy Charms







I just listed and will be listing more, very HOT and SASSY soldered charms! I am in love with hot pink/Black/white combination right now! Seems like I am drawn to those three color combinations in all my projects, as of late. They are so striking together. I have also been experimenting with heaver glitter, using a crystal clear glitter. I really love the look, it makes the charms sparkle and dazzle. Add some embellished bling and WOW!

Here are a few pictures of the new designs. To view more pictures and see all the new charm designs, go to my etsy store by clicking on the Bchic Designs Etsy link to the right of my blog.

Shadow Box Charms ~ All the Rage!





I have been doing a lot of the Shadow Box Charms in my shop, they seem to be all the rage at the moment. The only problem is that my wholesale clients have been wanting them also and I can't always find the same blingy charms to go inside. I need to find a wholesale outlet for the bling, for sure.

Right now, every where I go, I look for necklaces, earrings, etc. that have bangle. If I can find a bracelet with several charms, I feel I have hit the jackpot! Tilley's has been a fantastic place to find trendy and fun bling at a fantastic price. The thicker charms don't work as well, so I tried something new and glued the bling on the outside of the soldered box. An example is on the Betsey Johnson style necklace I created.

Glitter Box Charms and more!





I am adding a lot of NEW charms to my etsy store. I had a wholesale customer who wanted some glitter charms. So, you know me, I go get glitter and try my hand at it. I swear, the best ideas for charms come from my customers. The Breakfast at Tiffany's charm was a huge hit, and they have been flying out the door!

So, Now I will be offering GLITTER CHARMS. These are a few of the new designs I will be listing this next week, in my etsy store.

~ Other New Charms ~

I also did some new Blingy, Crystal and Silver charms in a Shadow Box Charm and a New stacked glass 3D Eiffel Tower Charm with a Zebra background. I really like the way they turned out, they are very DRAMATIC!

New Items for my Home Store





I have had so many wholesale charm orders, lately, I haven't been able to work on getting my Etsy Home Decor store going. I am not complaining, mind you! I am very thankful for the success of my charm business. It is the bread and butter. I had a break in charm orders, so first, I cleaned my House. Ha Then I worked a whole day on frames and boxes for my home store. I really enjoy making the boxes and frames. I feel my creativeness exploding when I design them. A lot of the charm design is digital design, which is fun, but the frames and boxes, I get to create with my eyes, hands and imagination. I love that.

I wanted to share a frame and box I just added to my Etsy Home Store. I really LOVE the way the Fleur de lis Frame turned out. I want to keep it! When I have a few extra moments, I might have to make one for myself. Ha, what a laugh, who am I kidding?
